my principles were only prejudices.

ready for Dicky's serving. If this
were drunkard's breakfast I told
myself. it certainly was an incentive
to a man to indulge in too much
liquor. never had known that salt
mackerel could look so inviting.
Katie had soaked them all day until
they were like fresh fish. Then she
had plunged them in boiling wateA
and had seen her watching them
anxiously so that they should not re-
main in the water an instant after
they had cooked sufficiently. She had
drained them, laid them out on hot
platter garnished with parsley and
poured over them a most inviting
looking thin sauce. the principal in
gradients Of which I recognized as
hot milk and melted butter.
Boiled potatoes, piping hot, and a
salad that gave a forecast of spring,
crisp watercress sprinkled thickly
with chopped chives. and plate Of
hot buttered toast completed the
meal, which even if I had not been
as ravenously hungry as was would
have tempted me to eat heartily.
Dicky did not appear as hungry as
T, but he ate a fairly good meal AS
Katie cleared the dishes away and
brought the coffee with a certain
kind Of cream cheese of which Dicky
was very fond, he looked at me whim-
sically.
''Shall we risk our coffee in the
living room again." he asked.
I WINGED at the memory of the
evening before when Katie had
served our after dinner coffee before
the gas log in the living room. The
financial discussion which followed
had precipitated a painful scene. But
Dicky, in his penitence, had granted
everything I had wished; so there
seemed to be nothing left which could
cause any discussion.

We slipped our coffee and then
Dicky lighted cigar. You ought to

He drew out his case of cigarettes
and proffered me one. I drew back
in horror.

OUR NEXT GOVERNOR

Cary A. Hardee, who will address the
| voters of Pensacola this evening al
Mallory Court, stands out today not
only as the most likely candidate for
gubernatorial honors, but as the logi-
cal man for the duties of chief ex-
ecutive Of the state.
There is a general feeling. of salts
faction throughout the state at the
withdrawal of John w. Watson, of
Miami, which will throw much of the
East Coast over to Hardee, who already
has strong following in North and
West Florida, Central Florida and the
West Coast.
The recent attempt of DIR. Hulley to
diScredit Hardee, has reacted strongly
in Hardee's favor The charges which
Hulley has brought against his OPP
ponent he has been unable to substan-
tiate, and Hardee will make his posi-
ton clear on this and other matters,
when he speaks to the people of Pen
sacola this evening
1t is the general opinion expressed
throughout the state that the with
drawal of Watson and the unwarrant-
ed attack Of HUXLEY have boosted Har-
dees chances tremendously.
The only section which was strongly
aligned against him was the East
Coast. and this on Recount of the
Miami candidate. But the withdrawal
of Watson throws this vote solidly
back of Hardee, and practically assures
his election
Mr.. Hardee represents the conserva-
tive vote, which means the good
American vote. as against the radical
element in the state which is lining
up for Swearingen. and some Of which
HUXLEY hopes to capture. The splitting
of this vote means the weakening of
the Swearingen lineup: HUXLEY has
little chance with the radical element
as against Swearingen. but twill prob
ably poll enough to weaken the
strength Of Swearingen's lineup.
1t is hardly probable that HUXLEY
will withdraw from the battle, but
even should he do SO, the feeling
throughout the state with all classes
of honest to- goodness democrats is
steadily increasing for Hardee.
In his speech this evening Mr.. Har
dee will attempt to prove to the people
of Pensacola and Escambia county
that he is the right man to represent
them as governor of the state. The
Journal believes Mr.. Hardee is the log
ical candidate, and that as head Of
the state administration, he will show
those qualities of sane administrative
ability which are so much needed for
the honor and upbuilding OF the state.
