office. She was an old maid, the
neighbors said, but then they did not
know that Tillie thought of Jim every
day Of her life. She could not bear
to picture him, the spirit of cour-
age and youth, battling for his life
in the salt waters.
Often she would stroll along the
beach and watch the pounding break
ers, look at the distant ships and
wonder whether they, too, carried
boys like Jim aboard, who had left
their sweethearts behind them.
That Jim was still alive she had
no notion, until the shock came. 1t
as a ghost, and trembling. She en-
tered Titles cottage late in the eve
ming.
"Tillie!" she cried. "Jim's alive!"
Tillie pressed her hand to her
throat, but she betrayed no emo
ton. For Jim's sake she must never
let Millicent know.
"a letter came for me. Didn't you
recognize the hand? Jim was picked
up by a liner and has been a sailor
all these years. He has risen to be
a captain. He has a fine ship. and
it has put in at Portland and he's
coming home tomorrow to claim me.
Tillie, you must break the news"
Tillie was expert at that.

I'm going to get a divorce and marry
him. l have plenty of money and

from the sea and live here with me.

sands at four. You must be there in.
stead"
YES" answered Title.
At four o'clock she was pacing the
shore in dumb, helpless misery. She
knew that Millicent had always
gained her ends. Jim must have pre-
served her memory all those years.
Millicent was beautiful, and Tillie was
growing into a plain old maid. Tillie
cried a little, and then she grew very
brave, for somebody was coming to-
ward her from the cliff.
But this tall, bearded man, this was
not Jim. This could not be Jim! Til
lie forgot the years that had passed;
she looked for the boyish gait, the
smile. She stared in~credulously. This
was not Jim.

nearly a week. Gradually she became
reconciled. Within a month she was
busy breaking the hearts Of the young
men of Aquamuskat. Her grief for
Jim had been conventional; Tillie
knew that Millicent was incapable
of depth of feeling. But after she had
performed her task she went into
her own room and cried her heart
out.
She was the only person that had
ever loved Jim or understood him.
And on the evening before Jim's de-
Rrture he had come to her and put
arms around her.
"Tillie," he said, I'm going away,
I'D / want to tell you l love you
nd always shall"
Tillietwas not a strong-minded girl.
She ought to have told Jim to re-
member}Millicent, but she loved him,
and all }she could do was to try not
to let HIM kiss her and to cry on his
shoulderA But he did kiss her-once.
And when / come back it's you
I'm going to marry and not Millicent,
Tillie,' he said.
She tried to scold him and told him
to remember his honor, but Jim only
laughed at her.
II guess there isn't much honor In
the case" he said. "Millicent loves
mt about as much as she loves any
body-that is to say, a little less than
che loves herself"
Bitter words for an engaged man
to utter about his future bride, but
Jim had been caught in the vortex OF
the little social life he hated, and
he had never loved Millicent, though
he dared not oppose his fathers wish
or break an engagement into which
he had drifted.
That was all that passed between
them. Title did not know that Jim
loved her; she thought his kiss was
only a boys momentary passion. But
when she had broken the news Title
went up to her room and cried bitter.
ly. Then she went about her task
as bravely as before.
Seven years passed. Mfllicent had
been married five of them. She lived
with her husband in the big old
Purvis house, for the banker had left
everything to her when he passed
away. Millicent's married life was
not a happy one. She and her hus-
band quarrelled bitterly most OF
their lives. Sometimes she thought
regretfully Of Jim. He would have
been more docile; he would have
Agrati6ed her whims.

JAoKsoNvILLEs UNION STATION

The members of the state railroad
commission will meet in Jacksonville
next month to take counsel with the
railroad managers in regard to build
ing a new union passenger station for
that city. A new station is greatly
needed, as the business of the one now
standing has greatly outgrown its
capacity. The writer is tolerably we'll
acquainted with the Jacksonville union
depot" On the occasion of all his
visits to that city in the last few
years, he has had to aIight from a
train out in the yard, beyond the pro-
lection of the shed, and sometimes
walk in the rain for a couple of hun
dred yards before he could find shelter.
This is nothing for an able-bodied man
to complain of, but he has seen women
and invalids have to do the same thing.
The regularity with which this hap
pens to trains from Florida points
leads to the suspicion that the rail-
roads discriminate against our own
people in favor of tourists. The en-
ployes OF the station have always ap-
peared to be both efficient and accom-
modating, but there are only enough of
them to handle ordinary business and
in rush hours they are completely
swamped. The writer has seen people
miss their trains because they couldn't
obtain tickets in time, there being en-
tirely too many ahead of them for the
small force in the ticket office to wait
on. He has also seen people miss
trains because they couldn't have their
baggage attended to. Going to the
baggage room there would be so many
ahead of them that they could not get
room is the only place in the station
where the writer has seen any dis
courtesy manifested, and it was proba-
bly, excusable in the overworked men.
The writer has never had any trouble
about getting thru the gates to help a
friend on one of the trains. tho he can
understand that the courtesy might be
refused in a rush. The entire station
is ill-arranged, the result of occas-
ional halfway alterations in a futile
attempt to meet outgrowing condi-
tions. The restaurant is inadequate to
it's needs, and the information bureau
is joke. The closets are vile. All
these things the railroads should have
pride enough to amend before public
sentiment drives them to ii. The Star
believes the Florida railroad men want
to do what they can to please the pub
lie and that they would take pride in
having the best of stations and trains
The trouble is that Florida suffers
from absentee 1andlordism' in rail-
roads as Ireland suffers in great es-
tates. Our railroads are owned in New
York, and other northern cities, and
all the interest their owners take in
them is to coin dividends. Florida is
at the end OF their lines, and any old
thing Is good enough to shove off or
the crackers There are ways and
means of correcting their views in this
respect, and some of them are soon GO
ing to be tried.

story Which Won the Second Prize in
the Havoc Contest

Mr. Gilmore, the genius, is in town,
With his most erratic spelling;
What role he will be playing next
There's no certainty in telling.
Ladies are losing their hemstitched
work
While peering at random about,
Each trying of their artistic skill
To figure the arraignment out.
Friends become anticipatory;
Genius scans each separate Star,
Awaiting development to see
Just who the souvenir is for
Dear hubby has grown quite saturnine
Alone, with less nutritious fare,
And bears it with titanic strength,
Since there's no alternative there.
Enameled work and insurance bills
Are certainly not alluring,
And though accommodating he raves
Der his lot so unenduring.
This development will havoc play,
And crazy he viii this minute go!

Coming to Ocala from Pa1atka Cd

9Th of February was the noted actor
Paul Gilmore and his charming wife
Mr. Gilmore had visited Ocala before
and thought he had seen all of the
beauties of the little city. but SO great
were the developments along numer-
Gus lines, he did not recognize some of
the places and especially the new
Chace suburb, Helena Heights" Gas
am wont to call it as a tribute to DR..
Chaces sainted mother and popular
wife,
Mr.. Gilmore plays the leading role
in THE Havoc a play of titanic
force. He is a man of genius, artistic
in temperament and has met with phe-
nomenaI success. Mrs. Gilmore is an
inspiration to her husband in his work
and has travelled extensively with Mr..
Gilmore. She has a most interesting
collection of souvenirs which she
gathered at random while en- tour with
her husband. A dainty hemstitched
handkerchief from Armenia and box
of silk socks from Japan were among
her treasures which she so kindly
showed me. When asked by an adj
mirer if Mrs. Gilmore's face was
enameled, her complexion being so
''peachy and creamy" she laughingly
replied: mo indeed, 1 eat only the
most nutritious food, no late theater
suppers for mine, and I was surprised
to find such a splendid grocery as the
o. K Teapot, where I got from a most
accommodating clerk such delicious,
fresh Post Tavern Special for my
breakfast, which 1 always prepare in
my own room"
Mrs. Gilmore was gowned in an ex
quisite Kings blue corduroy suit with
chic hat to match and presented a
most alluring picture as she chatted
with the reporter in the ladies' writing
room at the Harrington Hall Hotel
In speaking of his new play, "The

he portrays is that of Richard Craig, a
man of fine principles, though satur-
nine in disposition. BY an arraign-

evidence, the wife is found untrue

happy; however, her punishment is
commensurate with her offense.
But here, I must not tell you too
much of my play, as I want you to

being a level man and peering
into the future, knowing the certainty
of much misfortune coming to all of
US sooner or later. invested in an in
surance policy with the f. w. Ditto

Mr.. and Mrs. Gilmore would fain

other cities they had no alternative
but to catch the Seaboard Limited for

AN ORANGE MAN SURE ENOUGH

Mr.. Ed L Wartmann of Citra, who
was in the city Friday, was interviewed
by a Star reporter as to his opinion on
the orange tariff and the threat of Mr..
Temple and other members of the
Florida Citrus Exchange to bolt the
democratic party if the tariff duty is
abolished or reduced below what they
consider reasonable point.
Mr.. Wartmann's views are of weight.
He is a right smart of an orange
grower himself. and representative of a
section famous for the quantity and
quality Of it's oranges.
Mr. Wartmann wants his interests
protected, and he doesn't think the
tariff on oranges should be reduced. He
will suffer as much in proportion as
anybody IL it is. But he is a democrat
and has no intention of boiling the
party II it puts thru some measure he
doesn't like. His position is that OF
about nine-tenths of the growers in
the state, as Mr.. Temple and his fell
low-bolters will fnd-if they bolt.
Mr.. Wartmann much admires the
work OF Mr.. Temple and the Florida
Citrus Exchange. He thinks the ex-
change is doing a great deal of good
for the Florida orange growers, and
thinks it will undo much of it's work
and probably break itself up if it goe:
into politics. He thinks that the ex.
change has all it can do in organizing
the growers and fighting dishones
commission men and shippers.
Mr.. Wartmann thinks Mr.. Temple
and other exchange men made a mis-
take in going before the ways ant
means committee. All they could have
done in a month would amount to moth
ing in comparison with what can bt
done by our senator's and representa-
tives in five minutes. These gentlemen
are in Washington to look after the in
terests Of the state, they are yer!
capable collection of statesmen, anC
the Star again advises the orange grow
ers to leave the matter in their hands
and quit worrying about what cam
be helped.

Impulse. one of the most powerful
words in our language. 1t means a
compelling force and is illustrated in
various ways and conditions of the
human mind, both in the individual and
in a community of Municipalities when
combined for a similarity of aims and
purposes A person saving another
from drowning, acts from an uncon-
trolab1e impulse to save, to suceor,
hence a noble deed is performed. All
revolutions in the worlds history have
| been ushered in by acts of impulse, both
lregrettable and commendable. Finally
the thinking, reasoning element takes
control and the result is for the benefit
| of the community. Thus, the impulse
or compelling force exerted through
the great Federation of Woman's Clubs
for the uplifting to a higher plane of
| life, the woman, the child, the better
ment of humanity in general will be
best appreciated by the following ex-
tract from resolutions framed and is
sued under the educational department
| at the biennial convention of 1912, held
at San Francisco:
i Resolved, That quality of future
| citizenship depends largely upon the
training Of children, and believing
that the newspaper comic supplement
! in its present form tends to give child
rem distorted and pernicious views of
| life and conduct; therefore be it
Resolved, That the General FEEDER
alton of Woman's Clubs make concert
ed effort to induce newspaper man
ayers to discontinue the publication or
greatly to improve its character"
Resolution concerning vocational
| training and guidance:
Resolved, That effort be concentrat-
, ed on securing a complete system of
vocational guidance and training for
boys and girls leaving school tespe-
cia1ly for those leaving at the ages Of
IA and 16 years. and to this end that
| federal aid be sought"
The foregoing items give but faint
idea of the wide scope and aim of this
great federation.
Our Woman's Club of Ocala is en-
deavoring TO follow and carry out
many of the plans proposed and in
deed has already done good work along
educational and economic lines.

CLAUDE LENGLE,s CONDITION

Congressman Claude LEngle, after
undergoing a most serious operation
following an illness of several months,
lis recovering, and during the past few
days he has been able to leave his
home and bed and take a drive around
the city He is being restored to
health but is yet unable to attend to
business.
This information is given because
the office force of Dixie has found it
impossible to reply to the hundreds of
letters received asking about Congress
man L'Engles condition and also seek
ing other information.
Congressman LEngle will be ready to
take up his duties when Congress
meets, and he will be prepared to carry
out his pledges to the people. His
greatest regret is his inability to reply
to all inquiries, but this will all be at
tended to shortly. He feels most deep
l1y the kind solicitations as expressed
in the letters that have been received
