But now she was faced with a defin-

though if she once decided to stay
with Carol, she would never see Mark
again.
She had an almost impenetrable
reserve, but while these thoughts
were rushing through her mind, her
whole soul was mirrored on her face
and Carol involuntarily turned away
and walked to the window. 1t was
quite true that she could make use

are ready you can let me know"
In that moment when she had real
lied the truth, Jean had known that
there was just one thing she must
do. At that moment she did not con-
slider anything but the dictates Of her
own heart, even her great pride
meant nothing to her. She would go
to Mark and find out the, truth Of
his attitude toward her. She could
not hope that still cared. But it
would be only fair to go to him and
say good-by, to tell him that she
was sorry to have been failure.
Afterward she would be glad she
had done this, for although she
might never find happiness again in
this world, she would have nothing
to regret.
She wanted more than anything. to
have Mark always remember that
she had been entirely fair. And so
the matter was left, and Jean said
good-by to Carol without confiding
what she intended to- do. 14.-f--.

TRUSTEES ELECTION
Present Incumbents Are Returned to
Office in District 16 with No
Opposition.

A very light vote was cast yesterday
in the election for school trustees of
district 16, comprising Pensacola, East
Pensacola Heights and the Bayshore,
the vote being entirely complimentary.
as there was no opposition to the
trustees who have served the city
most efficiently.
p. K. Yonge. Sam Pasco and George
2. Wentworth, the three men who for
the past year have served as school
trustees from district Is. have given
to their work their very best effort
and during their trusteeship the city
has made greater educational strides
than ever before in all its history.
The fact that the three mill tax car
ried yesterday at the election. as well
as the placing in office again of the
school trustees, will mean that Pen
sacola will be able to continue it's pro-
gressive school program, and that the
end of 1922 will see this city the equal
of any of its size in the south along
educational lines
Official figures showed that only
about 100 votes were cast, including
all precincts of the city
One feature of the election was won-
en- clerks at some of the city polls,

NEGRO BREAKS INTO
COLD DRINK STAND
Dan Fountain Lands in 5astile When
Caught in Shop on East Wright
Street.

Dan Fountain, a negro. was turned
over by the city authorities to Sheriff
Ellis yesterday and was placed in the
county Jail on a charge of being drunk
and breaking and entering. The story
goes that Fountain had entered soft
drink stand adjacent to the Crescent
News headquarters on East Wright
street by way of the skylight. and was
later caught in the store by officer
Humphreys, who patrols that particu-
lar beat.
The engineer on the late train from
the east reported to officer Humphreys
that he had seen a man on top of the
Crescent News place. and in due time
the officer and L. & n, Detective
Crawford arrived at the store. They
discovered that the negro was in the
store, and after waiting some few min
utes after calling to the man, without
any answer from within, officer Hum
phreys drew his gun and shot through
the door Instantly Fountain, so the
allegation goes, after breaking the lock,
appeared on the outside He had re-
moved his outer garments and tried to
make the officer believe that he was
accustomed to sleeping in the store,
and by way Of further explanation is
said to have added that he worked for
Mr.. Carney, who operates the cold
drink stand.
However, according to officer, Mr..
Carney denied that the negro worked
for him, and of course he was carried
to the city jail, and was transferred to
the county Jail yesterday on the above
mentioned charges.
