The story that the girl was worried whether she should attend the State university, as her father wished, or the convent here, s she Gesired, her father belleved was of no ‘moment. “Pansy was free to pursue her own course in thut matter,” he sadd. “I toid her when she got ready to go away from home to mchool that she was 18 years old and was at Mberty 10 go where she pleased 0 school, but inasmuch as she was Atting hermelf for special work, it would prob- ably be better for her to attend the State university.

It was the understanding that the Brown force, which in each instance up the rotreating army very closely and harass them as much as possible. A de- scription of one exercise stands for a de- scription of the other, save for the minor movements made necessury by the different topographical features. The forces operating south of the rivery were commanded by Colonel Duncan of the Sixth infantry and Lieutenant Colonel Kingsbury of the Eighth cavalry, the | former commanding the Blues, or invading | army, and the latter the Browns, or re- treating army. Colonel Kingsbury, with nine troops of cavalry, led the foroe 'hlrhl was to harass the rear guard, &nd most efficlently @id 4t perform ite work. It was four hours after the start before the forces came in contact. The advance guard of Colonel Duncan's army, consisting | of u battalion of the Sixth infantry, struck the Brown cavalry wbout six miles from camp, and the fight immediately became hot ' Sample of Warm Fighting. Both sides reinforced rapidly and the affair grew in intensity to such a degree that Colonel MoClernand, who was chief of staff of the invading army in Cuba, and knows what real fighting is, remarked: “If this was the real thing #t would be about as goofl as this number of men could make it and would be hot ehough to suit the most fastidious.” Colomel Duncan steadfy pressed his way forward until 1 o'clodk &nd then after un | hour's rest he started on the return march. This was the opportunity for Lieutenant Colonel Kingsbury’s cavalry, and it was | remarkable to see how so small & body | of men could appear In so many places | in o shert & space of time. They hung on the rear of the columns, where Captain W D. Jones, of the Sixth infantry, commend- ing the last battalion of the rear guard repulsed the cavalry.
