NO HIGHER PAY FOR THEM.OFFICE HOLDERS GET CALLED

FOR ASKING FOR IT.DOWN

Councilman Irwin Rebukes Them land DeclaresThey are Not Doing "Their Bit " t o Help Winthe War—Collector and Assessor Given a Chanceto Put in Bills for Any Extra Work They Do.(There will be nothing doing this

year in the way of salary increaseslor Red Bank officials. After havingbacked and filled over this questionfor a month or more the councilmencame to the conclusion Monday nightnot to give anybody a raise. Everyofficeholder ana employee in the townfrom the highest salaried officialsdown to the street laborers had askedfor more pay.

It wusn t any ordinary turn downthat was handed to these seekersafter higher salaries. I t was a turndown that was accompanied by a re-buke. Councilman Irwin declaredthat the men .who made applicationfor more money wore not doing"their bit" in these days of stress.He suid every one should make sacri-fices in war times and that this wasno time to impose additional tax bur-dens on the people by raising the sal-aries of public officials. He said thateveryone was making sacrifices thesedays and that public officials shouldbe no exception to this rule. He saidthat if salaries should be increased,additional sacrifices would have tobe made by the taxpayers in order topay these salaries.

The meeting was very animatedthroughout. It was a special sessionto net on salaries and to make up abudget of expenses. The law re-quires that the budget should beadopted early in January, butthrough un oversight this was notdone. The salary question had to besettled before the budget making wasdone mid this was the fust mattertaken up Monday night. The sal-nrieH oi' Collector William M. Thomp-son and Assessor Lester E. McQueenwere acted on before any" of theothers. Both the collector and as-sessor had attended 11 previous meet-ing and had made requests for higherBalance.

The discussion Monday night hadnot been under way long before JohnS. Applegate, the borough counsel,informed the council of a law whichprohibits .officials of the town fromreceiving an increased salary duringtheir present tornis. This law virtu-ally makes the salnries of the assessorand collector remain the same forthree years, as their terms do notexpire until then. The terms of mostof the other officers will expire nextyenf.

Mr. Applegate explained that theonly legal way the assessor and col-lector could get more money thanthey now received would be by the

; council remunerating them for extra• work or work outside of their regu-lar duties. Dr. Thompson was at themeeting and he said he did a greatdeal of extra work as collector. Hesaid new laws which had been passed

more than doubled his work and thatin order to get the bills out on timelast fall he had to hire an extra clerkat his own expense. He said he paid$50 to this clerk. He said in manyways he did work outside of the reg-ular duties of a collector.

Capt. Irwin took issue with Dr.Thompson. He said Dr. Thompsonand Mr. McQueen both knew whatthe salaries were when they ran foroffice last fall and that both workedhard to be elected. He Bald it wasunfair to the board and unfair to thepeople of the town for Dr. Thompsonand Mr. McQueen to appear at thislate day and take up the time of theboard with requests for more money.He snid they should have told thepeople they wanted higher salariesbefore they came up for election.Dr. Thompson said he could see noth--ing unfair about1 his^or Mr. Mc-Queen's request. He Baid he knewhe was entitled to more money; thathe did enough work to earn moremoney,

There was much discussion endargument over whether Mr. McQueenand Dr. Thompson do perform workwhich is outside of their duties.Mayor Arthur^ A. Patterson repeat-edly called attention to this questionand snid that if the councilmen de-cided it in the affirmative it would bejust and proper to grant salary in-creases to Dr. Thompson and Mr.McQueen. It was finally decided notto increase the salaries of the as-sessor and collector but to give theseofficials permission later in the yearto present bills if they consideredthat they had performed work outsideof their regular stipulated duties.

The other town officials were notgiven this chance. No action wastaken on the matter of paying a sal-ary of $500 a year to. Mayor Patter-son. Mayor Putterson called atten-tion at a previous meeting to a lawwhich'he said gave, him a right to get1this salary.

The budget of expenses as madeup by the councilmen Monday nightis advertised in another part of TheRegister, as is required by law. Itcalls for a total expenditure of$9C,2B8.B8, of which $77,129.58 isto be raised by taxation, v Otherrevenue will come to the town fromthe water department, licenses, fran-chise tax, bank stock tax, etc., andthese receipts are estimated at$19,129. The amount to be raisedby taxation is more than $10,000over the amount raised last year. A,hearing on the budget will be heldMonday night, "February 11th, atwhich time property owners who ob-ject to any of its provisions will havean opportunity to express their opin-

LETTERS FROM WAR ZONE.OUR BOYS "SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE"

DESCRIBE THEIR EXPERIENCES.

Interesting and Amusing Incidents of Camp LifeSet Forth in Letters Received by Residents ofRed Bank and Vicinity-One Soldier Wanted MilkSo he Drew a Picture of a Cow—He Got Beefsteak.Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph S. Hurst of

Middletown have received a letterfrom two signal corps soldiers whowere formerly stationed at Camp Vailand who are now in France. Thesoldiers are Sergeant Robert K.Whiteford and Nicholas Kertes. Theywere entertained at Thanksgiving din-ner by Mr. and Mrs. Hurst. A fewdays later they were ordered toFrance and arrived there just beforeChristmas. The letter is as follows:

Somewhere in France,New Years, 1918.

Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Hurst:Do not be surprised as you pi^k up

this letter, for it is from two littlesouls whom you made happy onThanksgiving day. We arrived herein France some time ago safely, onlya ljttle seasick on the trip. Mr. Ker-tes was the better seaman of the two,though. At present we are stationedirtfa very nice place and have lots ofopportunities to get a view of Frenchideas and customs. We like Francepretty well, as much as we have seenof it, but would prefer the UnitedStates any time.. We had no big cele-bration Christmas and New Years,like we had at "Hurst's Ranch," butwe have our "tummies" full at pres-ent and are sitting in one of theFrench cafes drinking coffee. It'sgood coffee too, only a little too blackfor myself.

One thing I'd like to explain. Youknow we promised to come back andvisit you all before we left the States,but we had an engagement that Sun-day which we had not contemplatedbefore and we left Monday morningand had no chance at all to come out.One thing we did overlook though wasto call you on the phone, and for thatI sincerely beg forgiveness as well asBrother Kertes. Jinks! maybe youdont think we would like to be sittingdown at the table again eating turkey,or anything, in fact, just so it was atan American table and especially inMiddletown.

Would like to tell you about thiscountry but it is not allowed at pres-ent. When you see Hazel—forget herlast name—Kertes said to say "Hello!and how are you!" to her; and also toyour son and daughter-in-law. Andrest assured that we will be back inthe United States to partake of a re-turn dinner in Middletown, N. J. Dowrite us a line as soon as you all havetime. With best wishes to all,

Sincerely,1 Brothers Kertes and Whiteford.

Frank Scott of Headdcn's Corner.eceived a letter last week from LeonA. Souders, who is "Somewhere inFrance" with Company E, 52d tele-graph battalion of signal corps. Mr.Souders was at Camp Vail severalmonths last spring and summer and

is well known at Red Bank and vicin-ity. His letter is as follows:

"I have been having a great time.We are all well and happy. Theweather is chilly but healthy. I knowonly a few words of French, but Iam good at pointing and making signs.I went into a restaurant the other dayto get some fried eggs. I gave themthe American name and the Spanishname for fried eggs, but they did notunderstand until I crowed like arooster, and flapped my arms. An-other fellow wanted milk and drew apicture of a cow. He got beefsteak.

The average shopkeeper seems tothink the American soldiers have anunlimited amount of money. The"war bread," of which you have readis not at all bad. It is-sold by theyard. One yard of it if taken withFrench wine is fine for a mid-day'lunch.

"The French money is easy to un-derstand. A franc is worth seven-teen or eighteen cents at a bank. Ata store it is worth very little, for yoncant buy much with it. You get ahandful of paper money and feel likeJohn D. until you go to spend it.

"Some of the French' ways aTestrange to us—very. For a few daysI said 'oui' to everything said to me,but I soon discovered that to be abad thing. 'Oui' is the French wordfor yes and it is pronounced like theword 'we' in English."

Osborn Harrison, who is stationed"Somewhere in France" with the RedBank ambulance company, wrote aletter to his mother, Mrs. Edna M.Harrison, on January 2d, which wasreceived by Mrs. Harrison Saturday.Mr. Harrison says that he is writing-to his mother to let her know thateverything is fine and dandy.

"We have just arrived in anotherlittle village after ;-. thirty mile hike.We have had quite a snow storm batthat did not stop us. Ifetook us threedays to make it. ; We are quarteredfine in this' little^ village. We aremobilized and expect all our ambu-lances here. At present we have t u ta few. I have been appointed ambu-lance driver and since then I havfiseen quite a bit of the country overhere. Our packages have not beendelivered but we expect those ChriBt-mas bones most any time. TheFrench people are so kind to us and sowilling and no favor is too great forthem. If you play them square theywill never forget you* I expect tohave my photograph taken and willsend it to you, When the Christmaspackages arrive* I will let you know.Give my best regards to all."

Mr. Harrison is one of the youngestmembers of the ambulance company.He will be glad to receive letters fromhis Red Bank friends. v

A Dry Cellar—Yet a Cool OneA warm cellar is a poor storehouse. That's why vege-

tables and other foodstuffs cannot usually be kept in thebasements of homes heated by the old style pipe furnaces,or the more costly systems. The

Home Ventilator FurnaceThe Original PATENTED Pipden Model

Manufactured on/.y by the HOMER FURNACE CO,, Homer, Mich.will radiate enough heat to keep the cellar free fromdampness, but will not detract from its natural coolness. •Vegetables can be stored with perfect safety.

_ Heat is not wasted with the "Home Ventilator." Thescientific principle of design and operation sends all heat^units through the combination hot- and cold-air register,and from there it is evenly distributed throughout the house.

Clean, simple and safe, a Doesn't waste space anddoesn't necessitate a; big installation cost. We can equipyour residence with a "Home Ventilator" in a few hours,for a little more than you would pay for a good bciseburner. Ask^ us for more information.

Among the various makes of stoiage batteries ther^ is one radically different and super-ior to the rest. ' :

The one exceptional battery is the VESTA. The vitals of the VESTA are differentThree exclusive improvements give it double life;

THE THREE GREAT TRIUMPHS.

1. VESTA scored the first great triumph with VESTA INDESTRUCTIBLE ISOLATOR,aningenious"device which locks the plates apart and prevents short circuits.

2. VESTA announced a second remarkable feature, VESTA IMPREGNATED WOODENMATS which prevent "treeing " and its disastrous consequences.

3. VESTA'S third great discovery was the use of TITANIUM, a rare mineral whichgreatly prolongs the life of the battery. TITANIUM enters into the lead plates, hardeningthem and giving them longer life. It also remains in the battery solution, precipitatingminerals and impurities in solution and adding vastly to the efficiency of the battery.

NO OTHER BATTERY CAN USE THEM.

These EXCLUSIVE PATENTED features in the vitals of the VESTA make this wonder-ful battery last twice as long. This is a positive proved fact; yet the VESTA costs no more thanordinary batteries. . • _ •

Stop in and ask our battery man to explain the VESTA THREE GREAT TRIUPMPHSmore in detail before you buy your next battery. .

FREE INSPECTION AND WATER FOR ANY MAKE BATTERY.If you are laying your car up for the winter let us tell you about our winter storage

system for your battery. * •AH make batteries ret aired, also all make starting systems and magnetos repaired.

TOWN TALK.

We hoar a lot about thrift thesedays. Some people think that thriftmeans saving every cent possible, go-ing without things that are needed,cutting down expenses in every di-rection, and generally conductingoneself as though the country wasgoing down hill and the only way. tomake oneself secure against futurewant vas to skin' and skimp andhoard every dollar and every centthat one could lay his fingers on.

' t * *

Thrift doesn't mean any suchthing. Thrift means frugality in ex-penditures, and it also means pros-perity. Thrift is the reverse ofwastefulness, but it does not meanpenuriousness. It means so conduct-ing one's affairs that it leads to in-creased profits and increased wealth.

* * ** What would you think of a farmer

who said he wasn't going to plantany potatoes or wheat or any othercrop on his farm, because he didn'tlike the idea of using his seed pota-toes or seed wheat, or the seed ofother crops. He could sell this seedand get money for it right now, andhe could hoard that money away ina stocking and have that much moreready cash on hand. You wouldn'tthink that farmer was thrifty by anybneans.

* * *But there are a lot of people who

think that in other businesses thisvery thing should be done. Thenecessity of a farmer sowing seedin order to raise a crop is plain toeveryone. ;In other businesses otherthings are equally necessary if thatbusiness is to succeed. Thrift doesnot consist in cutting out the neces-sary things. It means- making thebest use of them to increase businessand to reduce unnecessary expenses.

Years ago we all got along with-"out telephones. A business manc.ould cut out his telephone now andfee'would save'a few dollars a monthby doing it. We wouldn't think muchof a business man who did that, how-ever, especially if he had to hire boysto run his errands and carry mes-sages, as used to be done before thetelephone was invented. A telephoneenables a man to do more businessand do it easier and cheaper than itcould possibly be done without thetelephone.

It's the same way with, a type-writer. Every business man • andprofessional man who has a type-writer could sell it (the machine, notthe girl) and get a little ready moneyfor it. But if he took the time towrite oa t his letters in long Tiand in

, the old-time way he wouldn't makeany money in the end. . He wouldn tbe thrifty at all, even if he, did get

The first fruits of government con-trol of the railroads are already be-coming apparent, though it will takea long time to overcome the legacyof trouble which was bequeathed tothe government through the miser-able inefficiency of the railroads un^der private management. The rail-roads broke, down at the very timeUncle Snrrf needed them the most,Private ownership of railroads wasshown up as the biggest slacker inthe nation.

For the government to tide therailroads over war times' and then toturn them over to private individualsin flush peace times would be fine forthe corporations. It would suit them

It 13 inmunicipalities of this class that thegreatest frauds are perpetrated, bothin the registration and in "the elec-tion. With school teachers conduct-ing: the election all idea of fraudwould be eliminated. Probably thatis the reason why certain politiciansof both parties are so strongly op-posed to the measure.

Governor Edge has expressed him-self strongly in favor of reform inelections. The selection of school-houses as election places and the em-ployment of school teachers as elec-tion officers would do more to putelections on an honest footing thananything else which could be done.Governor Edge can have this lawenacted if he gives it his sanction.If he is sincere in his statements con-cerning' his desire for clean atid pureelections it is difficult to see how hecan refrain from giving this measurehis ardent support. TJhis measure isnow virtually up to him. He has theinfluence and the power to make this

William 'G, McAdoo, the nationalrailroad director, in testifying beforea committee of the House of Repre-sentatives last week, refused to setn dtffco when the (rovnrnment wouldVivo up control of the railroads and

litical machines, the partisan appealof a party tag, and the queer fcmksand twists in human nature whichoften influence men to vote againsttheir own interests.

* * *An instance of the kind of reason-

Ing wlucfi someHme'n employ wlfohthey vote was -furnished by a streetconversation to which a Register re-porter was a listener the other day."A group of men were talking aboutthe county clerk's office and aboutSthc title company which Jtie McDer-mott, the county clerk, runs in competition with the county clerk's officei" The talk was mostly in regardto the fact that the county clerk'soffice was the only county office'whichfailed to. meet expenses last year.Everyv one agreed that the reason forthe deficit was the fact that Joe Mc-•Dermott^B-title company did-a largoamount of business which used to goto the county before Joe McDermottdiverted it to himself.

* * *

"I tell you, Joe McDermott is asmart man," said one of tUe men inthe group who was taking part inthe street conversation. T'He runsthe county clerk's office in such a waythat he gets all the profits whichwould ordinarily- go to the countyand he also gets the salary of thecounty clerk's office. Any man whocan work both ends against the mid-dle like that and get away with it isa smart man. He gets my vote everytime and I take my hat off to him."

This conversation shows a slant ofhuman nature which is not uncom-mon. Every dollar misspent by of-ficials, every dollar of public moneywasted, and every dollar divertedfrom the public treasury, must bemade up in taxes. Every resident ofa municipality or county wheremoney is thus misspent or wasted ordiverted must pay his share to makeup this waste and loss. If he is aproperty owner he pays the tax di-rectly. If he is not a property ownerhe' pays his share in increased rentsor in increased prices for goods. Noone can escape, from the babe in thecradle to the aged man tottering intoth All t t h i hthe grave.

Over 70, But RelievedBy Internal Baths

Mra. L. M. Waillfa writes Dr. Ciuu. A,Tyrrell of Now TorkaB follom:

"Within the last month havt'•had voider-!ul reaulta and all Inflammation 'DM nearlymbsldcd. I could hardly expect a womanD»er 70 to receive benefit from n trouble olIons standing as quickly .as. a younger per.ion. Money could not buy my 'J, B . L. Cm-:ade If I .could not Ret another."

It Is difficult to believe how many Internaltroubles InUrnnl bathing will .relieve untilyou resJbe that physicians u i t o that 0B perlent of human' ailments are. 'caused by accu.minted waste in the lower Intestine.

The "J. B. h. Cascade," the scientificmethod of internal bathinn, icnurvcB In •perfectly . natural vtay 'all polaonoua waste,and has been so fiu'ccenfful in promotinghealth that over hnir a million intelligentAmericana are now using it reenlarly.

It is produced by^Ohas. A. Tyrrell, M. D,,)f New York, who for 25 years has been aipeelalist on Internal Bathing, and it is now>eine shown and explained by James Cooper *Jr., drusglat, Bed Bank.

He will give yon on reaueat a very Inter.ting booklet on Internal' Bathing, by Dr.

Vrrell, "Why Man of Today la Only -60Per Cent Efficient."

Ask for it today and know more aboutyourself and your funotlons .than ?ou everlave before.

THIS GREAT CHALMERS ENGINE MEANS THE PASSING OF THE10-MINUTE FIGHT TO START YOUR] ENGINE ON A COLD DAY

' How ofteiijhave you foughtiwith your engine to start it on a cold day ora cold night after it had^beenjstanding in the teeth of the wind for an hour or so?

, Now, to step on the starter button in a current Chalmers is almost to startit nolmatter where the red Shows in the thermometer. Five seconds is ampletime to most owners of current Chalmers for sending the engine away on therun. And another second or two means midsummer softness with power totear through any wind or six inches of fresh snowfall.

i Remember: the "hot spot'' and the "ram's-horn " manifold do the bigemergency work. One pulverizes the gas and warms it up and the othershoots it on to the cylinders in 100# condition for power and results. There'slittle that comes out of the exfiaust that the engine hasn't made good use of.

The "hot spot" itself is such a curious, simple little device that it is wellworth a few minutes of your time just to see i t We will be glad to show it jand what it does. * ;

By Elizabeth Cherry Waltz

After supper was over, young Qld-cou Sennott changed his rough cloth-ing for a llllli! hotter suit, then sot towalk up tho road towards tha Alstettcr liomesU'iul.

He had worked hard in the hayfleldnil day. His buck ached, his annawere soro. but this was Wednesdaynight. On the white wooden steps ofdm church a mllo awny, FlavlllaMngcrel would wait for him. Theycould sit there quietly until ha wnsrested.

.' Flavllla wns there. Ho saw herfrom afar, her pink calico gown mak-ing a bright spot against tho white-ness of the steps. It was just aftersunset when ho started, thcro wererosy clouds still In the west. Flavlllawns not a pretty girl, but sho had aHinllo that meant volumes. It wasworth a very long walk to see.

: These two devoted young peoplewere shy and awkward In tho expres-sion of deep feeling between them.Tlielr very loneliness while boy andgirl at school had drawn them to each.other. Ho was Jnn orphan and herfather had long since married a wom-an who resented her existence.

jNolthor Gideon or Flavllla had any''"hut a grudged life up to the time each

jwnfl oblo to work. Then came dayslot :toll with little to enliven them orbreed aspiration.I, Stranger things have happened thanthnt both should be absurdly ambi-tious. In Gideon's family, two genera-tions back, thero had been a preacher,•Ho was n devout man, well educated

. {for his time, and not without powerHd oratory, His son, Qldeon's father,jhnd been not only stupid, but a ne'er-jdo-woll. In his grandson, aideon re-jvlved tho devotion, tho ambition, theIglft of speech, the sturdy Industry.

Flavllla wanted a home different, jfrom what'her'home had been. 8he

.dreamed of peaceful days, of thrifty^management, of love, of being kind tojthose nbout hor. Bhe entered en-thusiastically Into 'Gideon's Ideas, she{stimulated him from lila boyhood tofaring dreams of success.• For seven yenrs they worked, tolled,{dreamed. Tonight, as they Bat on the(steps of the church where the grand-Ifnther hnd lifted up his voice, theyflcoineil little nearer to the fulfillment10C (heir hopes than before. PhysicallyVenry, Gideon's spirits wavered.; FlnvUIn wns a year the oWor. That(Counts a great deal at 10 and 20. Be-jsldos, In her burned a more enthusl-'IBHI IC and steady Ore.; "I don't see how It can bo done thisjfiillj rinvle. I've got.tho money for'Hie college course, but how am I go-jIiiKJo live?". "'Twouldn't tnke much to keep us."| "Us I Q, Flavle!"''. "You're never going without me,lOklcon, I've got some money, youjlmow."

"It might be. When hayln's over.Jl'II go up nnd seo."• Tills Is the reason why a meeting ofjtho faculty of a certain college nnd(theological Bemlnnry WOB Interrupted|one dny by a stalwart country lad. Hejcrtmo asking Impetuously for entranceonto college, with little money and nojchurch Influcnco to back him.' Then Gideon talked. The spirit of|lils grandfather seemed In him. HeHold of his dreams for years, his toll

""'jimd*Flavllla's Interest and-encouragesHow well ho expressed hlm-

nt 'that time he never knew, butnn the old president walked from Ee-icltntlon Hall to the library afterwardsIwlth tho professor of Greek, he snld«ently.

"It Is a long time since I felt that aInd hnd such a clear call. I had beenwondering if there was to be no moreInspiration."! They .promised Gideon shelter in apurt of « house on the campus. Howent 'back to Flavllla triumphant.Now was Gideon the very sword oftho Lord.

In tho' quiet country neighborhoodhis rpturo, the projected wedding, sfich'projects for a lad of no propertycaused tho wildest excitement. Fla-vllla, from scarce more than a drudge,at once became the most envied girlIn the township. Her settlng-out wasdiscussed far and near. She had manypresents from women who thoughtthat by helping her, they gave dlreeUyto the Lord. Meetings were held tohelp her sew and It was from thesegrew thnt 'Idea that afterwards caused'Buch a sensation at the college.

The .neighborhood religion hnd been(or years a dead letter, The smallcountry ehuren with Its pulpit reachedby n" winding stair, Its benches blackwith -oge, had not been opened formany years. Now a sentiment grewto open It one Sunday during the sum-mer and Gideon was naked to conducta service by a committee of grave

I /To "\wi mind 6 wnaoa liiiknowledge, resciircb, feeling, convlc-

Vtlon, Hud not she talked these things'over with Oldeon slnco they were boy|nnd girl together? The very fact oflong, continued, thought upon these

; 'subjects served well now,j, "Thero will bo nothing expected of: you thnt you are not ready for," she

told him after ft time, "nnd Slnco youcannot talk of great things, would Itnot be as well to. speak of those at

/hand? Don't preach. L. You ain't fit.iYou'ro just a common man now. Talkman to man. • x*

i "And, Gideon, dear," she went on,;"don't forgot to talk a little to uswomen. Wo need lots o' God. It'sa God for every day wo want."I' Ho only said, after a silence, "Fin-'villa, I guess I'll go on home,"1 Sho understood him. They wnlkeddawn to tho gate together. Thcro was•a dark evergreen treo thero QfuUlio'kissed her solemnly. ' ): "Flavllla., you must wear yourbride dress. And .Bit all alone on thofront bench."

He ntlll had his misgivings as tothe propriety of his proceeding. , Thenext morning he wrote a misspelled.letter to the college president askingJlilm for advice. Sunday came and noreply had reached him.! The Interest In the meeting waswidespread. It was a Sunday In late.August nnd the llttlo church was fill-ed, the overflow standing about tbedoors and windows. Flavllla hadchosen some of her old school matesto practice hymns with her. Theirmusical knowledge was limited but Itwould help. They sat on tbe secondbench in their clean summer array.On tho first bench, alone, sat Flavllla.Sho wore the white dress she was tobe married- In, and a simple hatWhen the house was full, Gideonwalked In. He wore his now blacksuit, but looked like a true eon of toll,a lad from the very midst of tho peo-ple. Flavllla started a hymn, all sangwho could, then Gideon read, not anytoo well, a portion of tho Scriptures.Afterwards he stepped down from thepulpit and stood almost among them.

'Gideon will never preach such a ser-mon again. He has gone from Soldand wood nnd pasture to more con-ventional paths, Never again will hewalk between an nctual living, humanChrist and an actual, breathing com-munity as on that day of his boyhood.He talked, God-life In common life Incommon ways, was made real. In themorning, at noon, In the tired hoursof the evening, at toll, in dealing, Inbirth, life and death Christ-life wasdepicted. Then Gideon spoke a fewsentences of his own future hopes andasked all to keep him in prayerful re-membrance.

The silent and stolid people weremore moved than they cared to show.Old men wrung his hand, womenlooked at him with misty eyes.Flavllla's tears ran down her cheeksas she bravely started the last hymn.

But, while the people reluctantlyfiled out, there strode Into the churcha man of presence, of speech. He puthis arm about Gideon's shoulders, andlooked nt him with proud eyes,

"Tho Lord was with you," said thecollege president. Tho strange letterhad brought him hither.

Gideon is now a great preacher. Hisown nnd FlavIUa'9 dreams were noth-ing in comparison to the reality. Theystill tell at the .college of bis hnrdstudy, FlavUla's old and comradeshipand of tbe wagon load of provisionsthat came, to them every few monthsfrom their old neighborhood, Theystill tell of Gideon's gift of speech, hishonors, what a credit he Is to the col-lege. If you ask the secret of his mis-sion, he looks at Flavilla nud_ gays,

"I try to tell of an every day God"and as man to man."

"I am but entering college," hecried, this lad who had plowed fromsunrise, "I know nothing yet ot whatI expect to learn. Men, It will boseven •years before I am fit to teachthe word of the Lord.".'

The Lord will tell Vou what toBay," said a very old man who remem-bered his grandfather, "and we haveno "Other to speak to us, aideon."

; Ho promlBefl 'to give them an answer*m the morrow and went 'to seepFfavllia. Tftero was no happier wom-an than she those dnys. Bhe wns sit-ting at her sewing when Gideon enmcIn, humming a quaint country ditty.lie thought her n changed woman.Surely, she had never seemed so hand-somo In the olden days of toll andanxiety. He told her what the peopleasked, its full moaning dawned uponher. •

: "l'ou must do tills thing, Gideon,"ilte said, after a silence, "It will help

Hi you and the people.""But a sermont"

LjTlavilln struggled with the thought.

War Strategy and Chess.The affinity between strategy and,

chess, recognized by Napoleon, is not•very surprising, notes the LondonChronicle. The game seems to have'chrystnlllzcd out of some old—perhapsprehistoric—military system akin to;thnt overthrown by Alexander nt the;Hydaspcs. Of that battle Arrlan has'left us a most spirited picture, Inwhich we can now recognize a singulartouch of modernity—the long line ofIndian elephants wading,, tankltke, In-to the Macedonian Phalanx. Probablyat its birth chess was. a branch of mil-itary education rather than a form ofamusement; and the various earlychanges In the game, of which we haverecord, were doubtless attempts tokeep the Instruction up to date nndabreast with current alterations In ar-mament and tactics.

"Well, Emma?" ."To got married.'"

"I'm so alck and tired trailingaround after tho fortunes of the fam-ily," declared Lot emphatically.

"Don't trail. Locato," I'helps sug-gested mildly.

"Here?" Dot's gla.nco took In thewhole radius of valley and buttosclimbing up Into foothills. "For pity'ssake, Kuddy, do have some discrimi-nation, I don't belong out here. Can'tyou see that?"

"Not with the naked eye. I thinkyou' fit into tbo landscape mightywell." He looked hor over apprecia-tively as sho rode beside him. "Wyom-ing's all right. I've lived hero fiveyoars, and lt'B treated me fine and,dandy."

"You mean you've treated It flnoand dandy. You had money when youcame out here, and you could afford toplay with the wholo ranching proposi-tion where to Max It's a serious af-fair, We've got to live off thepro-cociio of MB placo right now, and thopickings are pretty small, I can tellyou,"

"I don't see what he wanted to comefor anyhow. He knew better."

Ho was the biggest rancher outthere and Max's friend, but he waslikewise; sheriff, and she wonderedjust how much be knew of Max andwhy Max had chosen to come outthero right In the midst of his career.

The shame and agony of It all werestill fresh in Grace's mind. Grace wasDot's elder sister. Ever slnco shecould remember there had been nomother hand over hor, only Grace, andsho had grown up with love and loyal-ty toward her. After her marriage, ithad been understood that Dot was tolive with them, and she had likedMax, too, for all his easy-going ways.

Max had played the market a bittoo heavily ono day and had foundhimself called to produce cash whenhe bad none. He had used money In-trusted to him. Just overnight1" Intend-ing to replace It, and thcro had beennone coming In to replace It with. Themarket dropped with a slump, and ahaggard, gray-faced man had returnedto Grace that night and told her theflat truth.

Grace had money of her own, moneytoo, that was Dot's, from their father,and they had clubbed together andhad pulled Max ovor the crisis. Hehad never seemed to get back hisnerve, though, and finally they hadsold everything and put the cash Intotbe little ranch next to RudyardPlielps' placo.

"Do you know why Max came 7""Suro," he said easily. "He'll get all

over that. Just lost tho reins a fewmoments down there. And his wifewill get used to It—"

"Oh, Grace likes It. She'd bo satis-fled anywhere Max was."

"I'm glad of that. I rather thoughtshe was more of a city woman. That'sall this place lacks—the right woman.Ain't It funny?" he didn't look at her,but ahead of them. "Here your'eWanting to pull away from here, andI'm wanting to stay, and I wish to Godyou'd "marry me, and you wlBh youcould escape and toko' up the oldlife—"

Dot stopped hor pony with a suddengrip on tho relria, her gray eyes meet-

i n g bis without evasion. She had onlyknown him three months, but itBeamed years. •

"I had a chance to sell out and goEaat a couple of weeks ago, and Ididn't."

"Why not?""Because I wnnted to live next door

to you. Oh, I know It's four milesover, but It's next door just the same.I dldnH-thlnt you'd he trying to runaway before I roped you." His tonewas low. "I never did any real court-Ing In my life—that is, with a definiteobject in view—and I know you Justlook at me as a sort of eaBy-golng pal,but I've hoped some day you'd gettired of Max's ranch and Btep over thelino to mine. You said the other dayyou hated to live next door to no-where. It's been next door to paradisefor me since you came, Dot." Dot WOBsilent, weighed problems within her-self, asking herself questions.

"I know youcan't be sure," he wenton. "I'm Eastern by birth, played onthe same football team -with Maxyears hack: we belong to the samefraternity. You like me well enongh, Iknow that, but the point is would thewhole world look black to you If youknew you never were going to seeme again?"

"Why—why, I don't know, Ruddy. Itdoesn't Boem as if I could ever bearthat. Blaybn I've grown used to you."

"We wouldn't stay here all the time,you know. I've got plenty of cash todrift around on when you felt like achange."

Her eyes filled with tears."Listen, Ruddy. If it wore only my-

self—but h$w would Max feel to thinkI had taken you—oh, I know nil aboutIt, how you helped him como out bqroand get this place and you put him onhis feet, too, and believed in him", buthe'd feel the old Indignant Bhame atthe . past, and—and, someway, hoseems to get the idea that he dis-graced us all. It would be all right Ifit were not for the other man—1 meanthe friend whose money he used thatnight—and lost."

Ruddy smiled at her and laid hithand over hers aB it held the rein.

(Copyright, 1SI7, Western Nutvsjmpor Union.)It was seldom that nnythlng up-

preaching mystery vlnltetf the sleepyvillage of Sunimcrvlllp,'and Miss Isa-bel Ormond In refusing all offers ofhospitality had become u subject olcomment.

Sumuierville did not always ex-tend attentions to strangers, butMiss*'Ormond, having bueu. Introduced

.by EldorJJeiiHon's diuighter, wins an ex-ception. It was, thorefon;, not to beunderstood when the buiutlfal strang-er persistently excused herself to cull-ers. The.unclaimed men of the town-ship were emboldened to tin! offer'oftheir automobiles and society—to nopurpose. Miss Ormond was, she nn-nmineed, engaged. In • the Htudy ofFrench, nnd wished not to be Interrupt-ed. Mr. Billy Cuverullsh," spending aboresome time at hlH sister's countryplace, promptly decided to cull.

"I want to seu that girl," he snld;"she sure is a mystery." And when hohad located hor In tlia garden—Billywanted to call nguln.

"I don't wteh to be entertained," sheremarked. .

"What prejudice have you?" de-manded Billy, "ugaliiHt spending a so-clul hour with a IOIIO iiuin? Do youthink I'm bound to make love to you?"

"Could you promise that you wouldnot?" tho unusual girl asked.

Billy gasped. "I could promise," heevaded, "but who can foretell the fu-ture?" . ' '

"Then," she answered decidedly, "wewill dispose of tho possibility, Thereshall be no excuse for flirtation."

"But why," Billy calmly questioned,"Is flirtation such-a terrible thing?".

The fnce of the mysterious maidgrew grave. '"Because," she replied,"flirtation may leud to love, to mar-riage, nnd I—can never marry." Withfinality she arose. "Good-by," she sold.

Billy, arising, also to claim a fare-well hnnd-clasp, exclaimed: "You nev-er can marry?"

The girl nodded ber head. "It Istrue," she said. Then Billy had hisInspiration.

"Well," he confided, "neither can I.Last wish of a crabbed old uncle. Loseall his property if I form any seriousattachment. So you and I are destinedto be the original plutonlc friends.About thnt French," he added, as sharegarded him wondcrlngly. "I'll helpyou out tomorrow," Then Billy strodealong.

Fiercely each flay he resented thetask of restraint he himself had Im-posed. As he came across the lawnone day, something In the girl's atti-tude brought a sense of foreboding.

"Mr. Cavendish," she said, "you havebeen kind, and I am sorry, but youmust not come here any more. Thevillagers are hinting nn attachment be-tween us, I should have foreseen thismlsconstructioh."

Then Billy's carefully built defensescrumbled; fiercely he crushed her InIlls arms. "DO you think," he mut-tered, "that anything in this world cankeep mo fromj-pu but your own wordthnt you do not love me? I have beenstudying you, and not the copy-books,Isabel, and you cannot' give me thatwor<l."

The girl met hia victorious gazesteadily. "Yes," she said at last, "Ido love you^ My fenr has come true'we must say—goodby.V '

"Your reason?" he demanded."I nm—married," she said. "It was

long ago," she added, startled at hisstricken fnce. "We were forbidden tomarry until we had graduated fromcollege. He was Insistent. The cere-mony was performed one vacation af-.ternoon, ench hurrying back to ourdistant schools. No, one need know,ray-lover assured me until our secondpublic marriage. Then—all at onceour love vnnlshed. Answering his let-ters became a burden; each time hepromised to come to me his promlsoTyps broken. At last we met, lookingInto each other's faces.

".'We dare not spend our lives to.gether without love.' I told him. Will-ingly he agreed. ,.

•"'But If I find you care, I will comeback,' he said. Occasionally comes aline of his changing address, but heknows I.will never send for him."

"What," nsked Billy, "Is the name olthis -coward 7"

"John Hamilton,'" she answeredwearily—"of New York."

Billy fancied that evening that hisbrnln mocked him when he read thathaunting name beneath n pictured fnceIn the paper: Then the words steadiedthemselves. "John Hamilton of NewYork," he rend, "aviator, killed In bat-tle."

In the moonlit garden he found thegirl. "Isabel," he asked gently—"youknow 7" Afid though she did not an-swer him, She held out her hands.

"There shnll be no more mystery be-tween us," murmured Billy. "No moreforever," said Isabel.

Thought It the Fashion.A, sometvhnt hasty mistress on go-

Ing Into the kitchen found that thenew maid of all work had denned herown boots before those of the family,so she snntched them up and threwthem into a tub of wnter .that wnsstanding by, and bounced out of thekitchen. ,

The girl said nothing, but when shehnd cleaned the other boots she throwthem also Into the water.

"Whatever possessed you to do that,girl?"— The girl simply replied:

"Well, mn'nm; please, ma'am, Ithought It was .the fashion of theboose, ma'am."

"How do you know?""He strikes matches on the paint."

It was a big concession to dutywhen Earl Finley went into his father'sgrocery store. Even East Grosscuprecognized this much. Earl hod beenfortunate so far In his earthly pilgrim-age. Even If Fato had not handedhim its spoils on a golden plate, it hadbeen a flrstrato Imitation. Earl hadalways objected tft, tlio grocery storothe same aB his mother before him.

"You don't need to. run if, pop," heBald, the week after he had arrivedfrom Dartmouth. "lt'B just a habit."

"Llko enough It Is, Earl, but I sorterlike it," old Finley answered pleasant-ly, tilting back In his favorite nrm-chair on tho littlo porch in front ofthe store. "If I shot down where. Intown would the boys play checkers?1'

They all came to play checkers theroand had for years. If the old manhappened to be absorbed In a gunioand a customer came into tho store,ho'd finish his gams first Long agothe Finleys had lived In the rooms be-hind the store, Imt as prosperitydawned thoy had bought a house uponthe hill, and Mrs. Finley and Earlhad done the honors of the familywhile pop played checkers.

But that summer East Qrosscup hadsent its favorite citizen aB a delegateto a state convention down to Boston,and Earl gave up his camping plans totake hold In the store.

"You know, I wish I had authority tochange things a little," he said thatnight at dinner. "Even a. country towngrocery can be run on—well, a high-er basis than pop realizes. I Just tooka look at one of his books this after-noon. Why, marmle, nearly everybodyin town runs an account wvith himand there's bills back for three yearsand more. Doesn't he ever collect?"

"I don't know. I always let yourfather run his own affairs and I runmine. He seems to get along allrlglit. Somebody must pay."

"Oh, I suppose they all pay In time.But a Btoro like that should be run ona strictly cash basis. I think I'll speakabout It to some of the worst cases."

The next day Judge Everitt cameinto tho store. The judge was a prlvl-ledged character all around Bast Grosscup. He was about seventy-three, witha mop of curly white, hair and twinklyblue eyes. He lived alone in the oldEveritt homestead, with about six catsfor. company and all kinds of oldclocks.

"Hello, there, boy," he Bald genially,"How's things? When do you expectyour pop back?"

"Next week, Blr." Earl gathered uphis courage. ".. Do you think, Judge,you could let us have a little cash onthat old account?"

"Like enough," said the judge. "I'lltalk it over with your father, though,I guess, sou."

That night at a church supper hemet Dorothy Winthrop, the Judge'snloce. He had always known Dorothy,it Beemed to him, but since his lastyear at college Bhe had grown into a.woman, and he heard she was to teachschool up at the central division afterChristmas. •

"I'm glad I can do it," Bhe told him,as they sat together eating pink icecream and chocolate cake. "We're go-Ing to take Uncle Walter home withus the rest of the winter. Ho hasn'tbeen a bit well since he lost so muchIn the street-railway-bond deal."

"Father was one of the backers ofthat. He believed In It."

"I guess he muBt of," laughed Dor-othy, "for he made everybody else be-lieve in it, too, and it just slumped.They say Doctor Purdy lost a lot andso did the Jenningses."

Earl gave tho books, a second goingover the next day. The Purdy andJennings families both were heavycustomers on, the side. He said nomore about the old bills.

There seemed to be a good reasonwhy the grocery Btore should not pressany of the old debts against old manFinley's town folks.

"Father's coming back today," Mrs.Finley said happily, a week or twolater, stopping' In at the store. Ear]was busy shifting some soap powderstock from the currant and raisinshelf. He stopped whistling and smileddown at her. This seemed .too faraway, and he jumped off the ladderand over the counter beside her.

"Land, Earl, how rough you are,"she laughed, as she smoothed her hairfrom hla quick hugging. "What allsyou, child?"

"Want to know, mumsle?" he slippedback to the childhood name for her."Dorothy promised she'd marry melast night. You wera asleep when Igot in so I didn't want to call you.". Her eyea shone with love for. himand pride, too.

"Oh, Earl, I can't believe It! Why,you're JuBt two children."

"No, we're not. We're grown up,"he squeezed her again Joyously. "Andhere's another thing. Going down tomeet dad, aren't you? You just tellhim from me that Senator Lathrop haschanged his mind—about the streetrailway. He la willing to take overthe new road and make good thelosses."

"Do you think your fntuer'll keepthe stone?"

"If he doeBn't, I will," Earl declared."Dorothy says she'll be married a.t Eas-ter, and I want a Bteady Job."(Copyright. JplG. by (ho McClure Nowgpa-

(Copyright, 1317, Wc.tcrn Newspaper Unl^n.)In the remotest,-kingdom, subjects

were anxiously discussing the marriageof the prince. It was .desired that someeetllemmit be made which would as-sure tho continuance of a threatenedthrone, and the old king's fucc wan af-fectlunntely apprehensive, ns hewatched hlB son turn In disapprovalfrom encii royal princess, brought uponsome pretense, before him. Even "Lurnthe notoriously beautiful," fulled tonwaken n glimmer of Interest In theHonibcr ej'en. But If Prince Otto's heartwits untouched by the encounter, Itwns not BO with Lurn. "Love at firstsight," was evidenced in her adoringgaze.

Luring were the flashing glnncesfrom her (lark eyes, the smiles invitingfriendliness. But the prince remainedobdurate. Iteturnlng one duy from n'canter he cmne suddenly upon n lovelygirl, reaching to pluck a (lower aboveher heart. With quick gullnntry theprlnco dismounted to nsslst, then with

.bridle ncross his nrm, he strolled be-side the girl through the cnstlo gar-dens.

The mnldpn, he "learned, was Eliza-beth, "Indy In waiting" to the PrincessLurn. His enger pleasure In the epi-sode was betrayed to the waiting Lurn.Abruptly she dismissed Elizabeth uponsome errand, endeavoring herself toentertain the prince."1 But the princeanswered nbsent-mlndedly, his eyesfollowing the while, the way Elizabethhnd gone. The jenlousy of the prin-cess aroused, no Inter chnnce meetingbetween prince nnd nnlden escaped hernotice.

One moonlit evening, the two, whoImdo been so unexpectedly nnd mutual-ly nttracted, came by chnnce to thecolonnade. A movement of flight uponthe part of Elizabeth brought forth nilthe pent-up love of Otto's heart and In-voluntarily he cnught her to his brenst.

In Joyous wonder the girl gazed Intohis eyes, their lips met An unseenwitness of the scene, Lnra lingered hor-rified, then turned to face the king, he,too, she perceived, hnd noted silentlythe mad embrace.

A few dn.,-8 later, Lura assembledher maidens together to enjoy theweird skill of n noted hypnotist. Toninuse his oudlence, nnd nt Lura's elirectlon, he placed those who offeredtheir services, under control, forcingthem through many laughable situa-tions.

Suddenly n look of hatred crossedthe face of the princess. With a com-mnndlng gesture she motioned theLady Ellznbeth to offer herself a sub-ject. Unmoved the girl waited expec-tnnt. Suddenly leaning forward Lurnheld out to the hypnotist a costly ring.P.erplexed, Elizabeth glanced from oneto the other, then slowly nnd visiblyher composure fell away. Staring un-bllnklngly into the face of the hypno-tist, she moved and acted automatic-ally at his diction. Lurn watchedbreathlessly, until the man rudelysnapping his fingers before the unre-sponsive face, nwnkened the girl aa nbabe half-smiling, from sleep.

When nil had gone, Lurn beckonedthe hypnotist to her, unfolding her re-;vengeful scheme. "Because of the oldking's refusal to force his son to marrythe most beautiful princess," she said,"he must die. And because the womanof Otto's henrt must be made despica-ble in his sight, while under hypnoticcontrol, and in his presence, she mustdo the deed." •

Tearfully the man held out, capltu-ilatlng at last to the enormous' bribe.

In the garden he found Elizabethdreaming over her books. At his ap-proach she arose, vaguely stnrtled. Im-mediately his eyes were upon hers, hisclirwllke hands on her-shoulders—thegirl's fnce grew expressionless. Obedi-ently she followed the hideous grlmnc-ing figure; stealthily through the castlecorridor followed the girl in her con-trolling dream.

Behind the throneroom draperies,the hj-pnotlst paused to. place In thehand clasped behind the girl's back,n loaded pistol. Then concealing him-self in the draperies, he continued hissuggestions as she passed inside.

The old king nnd his son looked upin bewilderment ns the whlte-clnd fig-ure appeared before them. Outsidethe hypnotist raided his arm ns oneaiming a weapon! Inside, the girl nlso-raised ther nrm, exposing to the aston-lBhed rulers, a gleaming revolver. Then,in nn Instant she had whirled about,rushing noiselessly to the draperies,forcing out at the pistol's point the sur-prised and cringing hypnotist. ' Stillcompelling, to the foot of the dais sheled him nnd gave explanation.: The hypnotist burst forth In nccusa-tlon flgnlnst the princess nnd hervengefuli plot wns_ unfolded. As theman was led nway for trial, .the kingmnde known his wish to spenk with hiscounselors. And when the distin-guished men came forward, taking thehand of Elizabeth, ho presented her..Upon bended knee they paid her hom-age. And when all others hnd left theroom, the prince coming down from histhrone, took Elizabeth tenderly intobis arms.

HELD UP BY HIGHWAYMAN.NERVY MERCHANT OUTWITS ROAD

AGENT AND PUTS HIM TO FLIGHT.

Like a Story from the Wild and Woolly West Is theEncounter which A. Holmes Borden of Shrews-*bury Had with a Hold-Up Man Saturday Night-The Outlaw Fired Off a Revolver.

pointed the firing irons at Mr. Bor-den.

"Drop what you've got in your handand drop it quick if you want to savea. lot of trouble for yourself," saidthe man.

"Never," replied Mr. Borden. "Noman living can tell me what I mustdo and you are making a bad mistakeif you think you can. Now you clearout of here. Make tracks or I'll haveyou arrested, you dirty sneak. I caneee now that your game was to waituntil I got by the tree and then topounce on me. Well that plan failedand you cant scare me with jyour re-volvers. You'd better quit your fool-ishness and clear out right away be-fore I hand you over to the law."

"Drop what you got!" repeated theman as he edged nearer to Mr. Bor-den. He was a big fellow, almosttwice as large as the storekeeper.Over his face was a handkerchief withslits cut for eye holes. "Drop whatyou got," said the man once more."Drop it, I say, or I will bore you.You wont do it, eh? Well then takethat." The man accompanied the lastthreat by discharging one of the re-

A. Holmes Borden of ShrewsburyVvas held up Saturday night while hewas on his way home from his store.Single-handed and without a weaponto defend himself he outwitted thehold-up man and put him to flight.The highwayman had a mask on andMr, Borden was unable to identifyhim or to find out whether he was awhite man or o colored man.

Mr.' Bqrden's encounter with theroad agent rivals the stories whichused to come from the wild andwoolly West. Mr. Borden has oftenbeen the victim of thieves who haverobbed his store but this was the firsttime that any one ever attempted to•waylay him. In the past four yearshis store has been broken into six-teen times. Three of these robberiestook place this winter. The thieveswere never apprehended.

Mr, Borden closed up his storeabout half-past nine o'clock Saturdaynight and started home with about$200 in cash. It is his custom everySaturday night to take home his re-ceipts for the week. He had some

, bills in his trousers pockets, but mostof the cash was in bags. The bagswore in a peach basket, covered overwith a top coating of vegetables. Themethods of the highwayman showedthat he must have been very familiarwith Mr. Borden's habits on leavingthe store.• When Mr. Borden started for home

snow was falling and the roads weredosorted. No one was in sight any-where. On account of the snow Mr.Borden walked in the road instead ofon the sidewalk. He had finishedabout half his journey when he sawsome one standing behind a tree.

"Hello there! What are you doing\ there?" said Mr. Borden.\ - There was no answer to the inquiry\and Mr. Borden repeated it. The mnn

DENTIST'S CAR ON FIRE. .

Engine in Dr. Harold J. Stokei'i Ma.china Slightly Damaged.

An. automobile owned by Dr. Har-old J, Stokes, a dentist of Red Bank,caught fire last Friday in Thomas Mc-Knight's salesrooms on Mechanicstreet. The motor was being cleanedwith gasoline. A steel wire brush,used to remove the grease and dirt,struck a charged wire, which emitteda spark and lighted the gasoline. Thecar was pushed out in the street andthe flames were put out with an ex-tinguisher by Louis J. Tetley. Theengine in the car was slightly dam-aged but the body of the car was un-touched by the flames.

The resignations will takeeffect March 1st The election ofschool trustees takes place in Marchand the resignations of Mr. Rice andMr. Thompson were made effective atthat time in order to give the peopleof the township opportunity to electtheir successors at the annual schoolmeeting.

Mr. Borden did not flinch when therevolver went off. Instead of that hecalled the man's attention to the des-perate chances he was taking andwarned him to go away. The man re 'peated his threats, but the'tone of hisvoice showed that he was rapidly los-ing his nerve. Convinced finally thatMr. Borden could not be frightenedinto giving up the money, the hold-upmiin went away, muttering curses ashe departed. Mr. Borden followedhim a short distance and then wenthome.

LOCAL OPTION A LAW.THE MEASURE PASSED THE AS-

SEMBLY MONDAY NIGHT.

Petitions for Local Option Elections. Have Been Prepared and They Will

be Distributed to: MunicipalitiesThroughout the State This Week.

• The local option measure passedthe hoitse Oil assembly on Mondaynight arid It is how a law. Actionthroughout the state will be begunat once to get signers to petitions forlocal option elections. The vote willbe taken by municipalities, and theanti-saloon league Has announced thatit will be ready this week to send elec-tion petitions to all parts of the state.There are about 500 municipalitiesin New Jersey, comprising cities,towns, villages, boroughs and town-Bhips, and the anti-saloon league ex-a c t s that local option election willbu held in nearly all of these munici-palities this year.1 Mora than foUr-fifths of the munici-palities where elections are held willgo dry. The local option organizationin Monmouth county, believes thatevery municipality in Monmouthcounty will go dry, including LongBranch. The action of the federalgovernment in stopping the sale ofliquor to soldiers has had a great in-fluence in creating a sentiment in

i favor of stopping the sale of liquoreverywhere.

Thirty years ago when local optionelections were held by counties, theliquor men throughout the state con-tributed to a fund to defeat the drysat the local option elections. In spiteof this opposition six out of sevencounties where elections were heldwent dry. Many hotel men believethat It would be a waste of money toUndertake to defeat local option inthe municipalities where they are lo-cated and in,many places it is not be-lieved, that they will organize anycampaign when the elections are held.

War Apparatus Used to Deliver Coalat Shrewsbury Monday.

To remedy the coal situation the'government has issued orders thatmilitary trucks and other militaryequipment be used to deliver largeconsignments of conl so that freightcars will not remain long on sidings.This was done Monday at Shrews-bury when a huge caterpillar enginewith four trailers attached to it wnsused to take a carload of coal to W.Dell Wallbridge's place. A traincame along while the trailers were onthe a railroad tracks and in order toavoid an accident it was necessaryto run the caterpillar engine througha fence on Charles M. Patterson'sfarm, opposite the Shrewsbury sta-tion. A large section of fence wnstorn down, but a. collision was avert-ed. The engine looks something likea war tank and it uttracted much at-tention when it passed throughShrewsbury. '

A FINE TALK BEFORE THE REDBANK WOMAN'S CLUB.

Mrs'. Jessie Rittenhouse, a New York' Literary Critic, Give* « Lecture on

Modern Poets and Especially onPoems Relating to the War.Mrs. Jessie Rittenhouse gave a lec-

ture on poetry before the Red Bankwoman's club at the Presbyterianchapel last .Friday afternoon. Thelecture was devoted to late poetry andespecially to poems on the war. Mrs.Rittenhouse is the literary editor ofone of theNew York publications andis a writer of literary criticisms. Herwork gives her opportunity to readand study the outpourings of poets ofthe present day and she has made aspecial study of poems relating to thewar.

Mrs. Rittenhouse recited a numberof poems which she regarded asamong the best which had been pro-duced since the war began. She gavefirst place to the well known poem ofAllen Seeger's, "I Have a RendezvousWith Death." Mr. Seeger was; a sol-dier in the war in Prance and hisdeath was foretold in his poem.

I Mrs. Rittenhouse is personally ac-• quainted with many of the authors ofthe present day nnd she related inci-dents of the poets from whom shequoted. Her lecture was attendedby n large number of the members ofthe woman's club nnd they were veryappreciative both of the .lecture andof the poems quoted.

well as their time in promoting thewelfare of the school district. It waslargely due to their work that Mid-dletown township obtained its presentmodern school system and its presentschool buildings.

Mr. Thompson has become greatlyinterested in war work and this hastaken him out of the neighborhood agreat deal and has occupied nearly allhis time. • Mr. Rice has been a mem-ber of the state board of education forseveral years and last year he waselected president of that body. Thisnew position has made greater de-mands on his time than was formerlythe case. A few months ago he waselected to the presidency of one of theNew York banks and this has also re-quired a considerable amount of histime. Beginning with 1916 he hasbeen spending his winters in NewYork city, and this has kept him outof close touch with school matters, inMiddletown. Both Mr. Thompson andMr. Rice believed that the positionsof school trustee should be filled bypersons who could.demote mo.re timeto the'wMlf'thatlr they have been ableto do of late, and this was the reasonfor their refliKnatiohs. Mr. Rice hadone more yettr of .his term.to serveand Mr. Tnohipaon had two years toserve.

The resignation of Mr. Rice and Mr.Thompson will make it necessary forthe people of Middletown township toelect five trustees next March. Be-sides the places of Mr. Rice and Mr.Thompson, which are to be filled forthe unexpired tetans, the terms ofthree trustees expire. These trusteesare John I. Sickles, George H. Robertsand James C. Hendrickson.

Miss Madeleine F. Roberts, CountyVisiting Agent for the State Char-ities Aid Association, Accepts a

'Position at Rochester.Miss Madeleine F. Roberts, who

has been countv visiting agent forthe state charities aid association atRed Bank since last August, has sev-ered her connection with that organ-ization. She left Red Bank today.

Miss Roberts has been a veryeffective worker and she has handledthose cases which came before thecourt with excellent judgment. Sheis also possessed of a great amountof tact and this has enabled her to beof assistance in many cases wherethe families would ordinarily resentoutside interference. Some of thecases which she has taken up anddisposed of during her stay at RedBank have been of long standing,where it had been extremely difficultto enforce reforms. One of the mostimportant of these cases was that ofthe Brower family of Matawan, con-sisting of a man and woman whowere not married and their six chil-dren.

Miss Roberts is a graduate of theBoston school of social work, whichis a department of Simmons college.Before coming to Red Bank she wasa member of the staff of the Ameri-can association of societies for or-ganizing charities, which made a sur-vey of the department of public char-ities of the city of Rochester. Eversince the Rochester survey was madethe united charities of that city havebeen anxious to secure Miss Roberts'sservices and she has now accepted aposition as district secretary in thecharity organization field there. Be-fore taking up her new duties MissRoberts will spend <a few days withher mother, Mrs. Florence H. Rob-erts of Talcottville, New York;

Miss • Roberts had made manyfriends at Red Bank during her stayhere. She was very active in socialwelfare work and her departure willbe a loss to Red Bank and t6 thecounty.

Last Saturday John H. Cook, theeditor of The Red Bank Register,bought a large tract of land of whatwas formerly the Joseph Field farmin Middletown township. The prop-erty is on the west side of the Mid-dletown turnpike and lies between thefair grounds on the south and theNut Swamp road on the north.

A part of this farm had previouslybeen sold for the1 future enlargementof; the fair grounds and a few plotshad been sold to individual purchas-ers. Mr. Cook purchased the entireunsold portion, amounting to upTwards of fifty acres. The price paidwas $14,260.

The tract-iwas bought by Mr. Cookith the intention of subdividing it

nto lots andputting it on the marketior homes. Maps of this subdivisionire now being made. Roads had>een mapped out through part of theract and this map had been filed.The new subdivision of lots willherefore be controlled by these re-iorded roads. It is estimated thathe tract will make a little over 200

he name

ng made necessary in order to con-form to the street map which had>een filed. The lots will vary, in sizei-om 40x100 feet to 50x200 feet. A>ear orchard in full bearing is on part

of> the tract and this will be includedwhen lots are laid out. The pearorchard will make about thirty lots.

The tract has a frontage of about1,200 feet on the turnpike. The RedBank and Keyport trolley road runsdirectly in front of the property. Thefurthest lots on the tract will not bemore' than five or six minutes' walkfrom the trolley. The title to theproperty is perfect and has beenguaranteed by the Fidelity-trust com-pany of Newark.

As soon as spring opens the tractwill be re-surveyed and the lotsstaked out and marked. Street signswill be placed at all the street cor-ners and considerable work will bedone. Water mains of the Minnesinkwater company are laid through someof the streets and an effort will bemade to have these mains extendedto other parts of the property just

who suggested the name will receivea.warranty deed for any lot on thetract selected by h.m or her. If. thename selected is suggested by more.than one person, tho persons sug-gesting the name can draw lots todecide which one of them shall havethe lot.

The property was not bought withthe idea of making money out of it.Mr. Cook has always been an advo-cate of the ownership of homes, andthis property was bought to give op-portunity for the purchase of lots forhomes in a good locality close to RedBank. The prices for the lots milnot be fixed until the maps are com-pleted, but they will probably ruafrom $50 to $150 per lot. A few ofthe extra choice lots may perhaps be.priced a trifle higher. These are thelowest fiRUtes at which lots have eversold in this neighborhood. In addi-tion to -selling the lota at these lowfigures they will be sold on very easyterms—$1 down andthe purchaser desires

this be-

bought.Mr. Cook wants a name for the

property «nd he will give the choiceof any lot on the tract to the personwho suggests the name., which hethinks will be most appropriate. Itis desired that the name should be insome degree descriptive of the prop-erty. There will be no conditionswhatever connected with this offer,except that not more than five namesmay. be sent in by one person. Thislimitation is made in order to avoidthe work, of tabulating long lists ofunsuitable names. Any person cansend in one to five names which he or6he thinks suitable to be given to thetract. The person who suggests thename selected for the property canhave first choice of any lot in the en-tire tract. Names can be sent in upto March 1st, and the name will beannounced iibout March 15th. When

is selected the person

Mr. Cook will offer a lot free">to>each of the first six persons who willbuild a house costing §1,800 or up-wards on the lot within six monthsafter the agreement is made. Th& sixpersons making such agreements can.have their, choice of any unsold'lotaon the tract, except that not more.than one lot will be given away opany one block. The first person whomakes such an agreement can havehis choice of any unsold lot on thetract. The next person who makesthis agreement can hive his choice ofany unsold lot on t! •; entire tract ex-cept on the block where one of thesefree lots has already been taken; andso on until the, six lots have been dis-posed of.

Mr. Cook has been desirous for anumber of years of getting a largetract of land near Red Bank on thetrolley, for subdivision into" lots foea neighborhood of homes. Thetract just bought by him seems es-pecially suited to this purpose. Itis diversified, comprising woodland,orchard and cleared lands. Almostevery taste can be suited1 on the tract,whether a _h,ome in a, grove is desired,or whether it is desired to have alarge lot suitable for vegetable orflower growing. Edward O'Flahertyhas a grocery store across the roadfrom the property, which will be aconvenience for those who build theirhomes* there.

Ox Teams and Automobiles.Forty-five to fifty years ago a number offarmers of Monmouth county kept yokes ofoxen for use on their farms. Occasionallythese farmers would drive, to town with an oxcart load of stuff.

These yokes of oxen-were slow, deliberateanimals. They could pull a big load but it took

"them a good while to get anywhere.

No farmer would think of using oxen now to getto town with a load of stuff. Some farmers cometo town with teams of horfeess which can pull allthe load that can be piled on a wagon in thesedays of good roads. Other farmers bring theircrops to town in powerful automobiles. Thehorses are quick-stepping animals, which'coverthe ground about twice as fast as the ox teamsof old days. The automobile trucks haul doublethe load that a team can pull and travel twiceas fast or more than twic&a&ifast as the teamsof horses. "

:...: , . .^ -,_ .. ¥ ...... ._In those old days there was" a good deal of real" ' ' visiting.'' Farmers' wives and families would

go to neighboring farms to spend the afternoon_and would probably stay to supper and spend"the evening also. At night the farmer himself

would come and spend the evening and takfehis family home.

At these farmefsT"visitslreal sociable tirnesTwere enjoyed. There would be talk of all theneighbors, and of what they were doing, and ofall the minor occurrences of the locality. If afarmer had anything to sell it was talked over.Through these farmers', visits to one a'hother,any farmer who had anything to sell soon gotthe" news i!!ii!«ulai«d''thrbughWrtlielieigBBOT~hood. ;

Those farmers' visits have gone the way of theox teams. The visits have given way to after-noon " calls" of a few minutes' each, just as theox team has been superseded by the fast teamof horses or the automobile. More speed is re-quired to keep up the paced '•., '

The method of transmitting hews through these,leisurely neighborhood visits has also gone by.People now get the news from an up-to-datenewspaper without having to leave their homesor their firesides. Trey tell the story of thethings they have to sell through that same news-paper. A few minutes is spent in writing downtwenty or thirty words, an envelope is ad-dressed, 25 cents is enclosed, the letter isdropped in tHe rural delivery letter box, and thejob is done. The newspaper does the rest andthe story of what the farmer has to sell is car-ried into thousands upon thousands of homes.

Times change. The man who does not changewith the times is soon put out of the running.The farmer who in these days depended onneighborhood visiting to sell a pig, or an imple-ment, or a line of surplus crops, would find ithard to get a customer. The farmer who putsan1 advertisement in a live newspaper finds thecustomer very quickly.

Get in line. Be modern. Use modern means.to do business. v

' * * *When they began their work of im-

There is a senti-ment which attaches to the school-house where one went in his earlyyears, and no other kind of a school-house can ever seem to be quite asgood as that where onp's youthfulSays were spent. The people of thetownship realized, however, that iftheir children were to have as good achance in the world as the children ofother districts, they must transformthe school system to modern methodsand the changes were voted.

they are ignorant of the law,

Lawyers have a sort of a tradeunion that's hard to get into. Afellow can get into it and can be-come a lawyer only after he has con-vinced a lot of the men higher upin the lawyers' trade union- that heknows the law all right. Now, whena lawyer took hold of a case anddidn't know the law you'd think thelawyers' trade union, would fine thatman or would fire him out of theunion for not knowing the law. Butthey dont do anything of the kind.In fact it dont seem to hurt his stand-ing with the rest of the lawyers aall when he doesn't know the law.

Maybe that's because all of the

The resignation of these menwill be almost universarrly regrettedby the people of the township; for tothese two men, more than to any othertwo citizens of the township, is duethe advancenment of the schools andthe placing of the Middletown town-ship public schools at the head of therural schools of New Jersey.

to get out of the law game everytime a case w4as tried, for in almostevery lawsuit one lawyer says thelaw is one thing and the other law-yer says it is the other thing. Theycant both be right and most likelythey arfe both wrong. If the lawyerswho were shown to be ignorant ofthe law were dropped out of the law-yers' union as fast as they showedthey didn't know the law, the num-ber of lawyers would get smallermighty fast. Half of them wouldhave to give up their lawyers' unioncards or their lawyers' certificates,or whatever the name of the docu-ment is that they get when they jointhe union when their first c"a"se'~wastried in which they differed as tothe law.

If you've ever been in court andheard two lawyers wrangling over a

Mostlikely both of them were wrong,though possibly both of them reallythought they were right.

That wont happen, of course. Wedont do things that way. in thiscountry. But it does seem to methat the maxim that "ignorance of-the-lawHs-n6-excuse;llrought to havethe addition to it suggested above.

-o-o-o-o-o-The above reflections on the

maxim that "ignorance of the law isno excuse" were brought to my mindby an item in the newspapers lastweek. This item was that Tostmas-ter-General Burleson was nominatedfor his job in President WoodrowWjlson's_.caljir(eLten months, later-

i5nT saying what the than he should have been nominated.

Usually his dis-satisfaction is over the judge's ideaof the law. When a lawyer carriesthe case up because he is dissatisfiedwith the judge's statement as |to whatthe law is, you can see at once thatthe lawyer Believes that the judgeis .ignorant of the law.

When the case is carried up an-other judge" or maybe ttyo or tliree

-judges take a whack at it and theywrite down their say-so of the law.Oftentimes they decide that thejudge who tried the case at first wasignorant of. the law- and they upsetthe case. Then the case may Be car-ried up to another court and to an-other lot of judges. Quite fre-quently these judges-will.decide .thatthe second lot of judges were ig-norant of the law, and this last lotof judges will upset the things whichthe previous Jot of judges had done.

• * ' *

Sometimes the case is carried fromstate courts into" a United Statescourt. The judges of that courtoften say that the judges of the high-est state court were ignorant of thelaw and they upset the case. Mnyjbethe case can go up into the^ UnitedStates supreme court, which'is thebiggest court in our country, and thejudges of that court may decide thatthe judges of the- United Stated

All • of the members of PresidentWilson's cabinet are hold-overs. Thelaw requires that the postmaster-gen-eral be re:appointed when his termexpires, while the other cabinet mem-bers can hold over without re-ap-pointment. President Wilson wasignorant of this,law and he didn'tfind out^that this was the law till lastweek. The postmaster-general wasapparently also ignorant of the law.In the meantime the postmaster-gertreral had been holding on to his j</bten months without legal title to theplace. - Of course if either of themBad known what the law was, the

would havelong ago.

1 ' - * * >Far be it from me to even, intimate

.that President Wilson should knowthe laws relating to the appointmentof members of his cabinet. Far beit from me to intimate that there isanything blameworthy in his ig-norance of the law. Possibly it maybe regarded in some quarters as"lazy majesty" (I believe that isthe proper term) to speak of thismatter at all. But it seems to me ifignorance of the law is excusable inrecorders and judges and lawyers,that President Wilson ought to havea chance to plead that same excuse.As for us common, everyday folks,I dont think it ought to be expectedof us that we should know more thanjudges, and recorders, and lawyers,or even that we should know morethan President Wilson. Consideringthe notable examples we have'beforeus, I think that ignorance of the lawought to be a valid excuse for mostof our slip-ups.

Most of the minor infractions ofthe law are due to ignorance of thelaw. A man who backs.his automo-bile against the curb in a way thatis against the traffic rules, probablydoesn't know that he is violating atown law. The policeman on that

court who hud previously tried the be!>t OUR"? to show him what to dowere ignorant of the law anu" an (l explain whnt the law is. Most

the case is upset over again. Thereisn't any higher court the case couldbe carried to, or very likely the

of us have to be told things fifteenor twenty times over before • we re-member them, or before we realize

judges of that higher court would w h l l t they meiin.1.

No man knows the law, whethehe lie a hod carrier, or a judge, 01the President of the United States,With our tremendous mass of laws,it is impossible for any man to knothem. Tens of thousands of lawihave been put on the statute book:of New Jersey and hundreds morare added every year. Tens of thousands of laws have been put on thstatute books of the United Statesand hundreds or thousands more areadded every year. To say that everyman should know what these lawsare js an absurdity. No man knowstheni and no man is expected tiknow'them. The maxim that "Ig-norance of the law is no excuse," isa foolish maxim, no matter how oftenit is repeated. Ignorance of the law,as in the case of President Wilsonand Postmaster-C'teneral Burleson lasweek, ought to be a valid excuse fornot doing things which' should havebeen done. And this should apply toall of us, whether we are judges, orofficials, or lawyers, or just commonfolks.

FINE GIFT FOR PASTOR.CASH PRESENTS ALSO MADE TO

HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER.

Testimonial of Neighborly Affectionand Esteem Shown to Rev. DwightL. Parsons and Family by Presby,terians of Shrewsbury.Cash gifts amounting to $262.50

were made Thursday night by thePresbyterians of Shrewsbury andEatontown to Rev. and Mrs. DwightL. Parsons and their daughter, MissMiriam Parsons. The presents weremade at a sociable held in the Pres-byterian Sunday-school room atShrewsbury in celebration of Mr.Parsons's tenth anniversary as pas-tor of the two churches of the parish.

Fully 200 persdns were present.The gifts were a complete surprise tothe recipients, and the atmospherewhich pervaded the meeting wasmore on the order' of a neighborhoodgathering than that of a churchfunction. It was accompanied by aspirit of whole-hearted desire to showappreciation,of the work which Mr.and Mrs. Parsonp-and their daughterhave performed. In many ways Mr.Parsons has been more than a pastorin, the ordinary sense. He is lookedupon at Shrewsbury as a friend anda neighbor as well as a preacher ofsermons, and the spirit in which thecash gifts were bestowed was a re-markable testimonial of the esteemin which he and his family are heldby the members of the congregation.The money was raised by a commit-tee of women who successfully con-cealed their work from the clergymanand his family.

The opening address of last Thurs-day night's affair was made by HarryLinson, an elder of the church. Hespoke of the ten years of efficientwork of the pastor and said all thosepresent were eager to show their ap-preciation of such loyal and untiringservice. Rev. F. P. Swezey, rectorof Christ chinch and a near neighborof Mr.. Parsons, spoke of his associa-tion with Mr. Parsons and of the bene-efits which had accrued to himthrough this association. He saidShrewsbury was fortunate in havingsuch a citizen as Mr, Parsons; JohnG. Breese, the oldest elder of the£hurch_present—congratulated MAand Mrs. Parsons on the fine -resultsof their1 efforts in building up thechurph.' - , « > ' - .

No mention «f the cash presentswere made in any of these addressesbut at the conclusion of Mr. Breese'sremarks two little girls, ElizabethShoemaker and Margaret Shutts, en-tered the room carrying basketsfilled with daffodils and ferns. Ineach basket was an-oval -frame con-taining $125 in gold pieces. A giftof $12.50 in gold was made to MissMiriam Parsons. The recipientsstated that they appreciated the pres-ents but that they valued in fargreater measure the neighborly feel-ing and good will which promptedthe gifts. They said this was morejrecious than gold and that all theirlives they would treasure the memoryof the sentiments which accompaniedthe gifts.

A short entertainment was giveniri connection with the sociable. Itcomprised piano solos by Miss MarionMount, vioiin so]'os by Mr. Gilman,with piano accompaniment by Mis3Sarah Armstrong; vocal solos by MrsJmor Brown and recitations by Miss

Thomas. The affair wound up withthe serving of refreshments and alocial hour.

Home one had whispered that OscarMare, the former'president of the FnrKiutom, had committed suicide uc-efluf.0 "lie hnd seen things."

What had he seen?Honey hud ranlsheil at the time of

BIUL'O'B death, but no one could ever;trace it or could account for the man-!»er hi which it Iind been spent. Tlie«ncmoy, gold in canvas bags, had van-ished.

Phil Ifnntoh could liavo told anoth-er tale—that for two months now therehud been a steady pilfering at tirobtyik. On© gold piece alter anotherhn'd vanished from tho strong room.

done, and he was feeling that heiBt lte the one to do it.

finally, after long deliberation, homade up his mind that in the after-noon when it was time to leave ho•would secrete himself In the strong

. room' and, revolver in hand, grimly!^"walt for the thief to appear. !

From his corner behind a heap ofcanvas sacks Pull watched the. clerksas one by one they came into theStrong room to put away cash andbooks. Bacb one went about his busi-ness in an open, honest way, aud the'Jafit oiio locked the steel doors andthrew the heavy holts of tlie combina-tion lock. , . ;

One thing was that Oscar Blare bad,fcecn discovered dead la the strongroom, hi thU very spot, perhaps, withan empty pistol hi his lifeless hand.'

Then tho gold deficiency had beendiscovered.

A cold horror took possession of him.|Wo9 bfstorp going to repeat itself?JWas ' lie, Phil Wanton,'' unwittinglyguilty of the thefts? Would lie, too, befound dead In the strong room?

fiiiddeuiy he laughed bis feats toscorn.

"(That i jrretched black pheasantKenther business Is getting on mynevves," iie muttered. "I wonder if'Blare knew the black pheasant?"

Ho had dozed off to sleep when he|wns suddenly awakened by a rash oficold air. ,. , i

The brick wall back of him scornedto vunleh, leaving lilm tottering on theiedge of the floor. He fell—fell down a

*ow feet—and dropped to a heap of softjnintH in a perfectly strange place.. Here nil was silence—a "vafriit, oml-

,, noun Hilenro, that oppressed his heart.From n lantern In a fnr corner therewere dlHclosed the outlines of a IOIIRroom, with a matted floor and many

.., rlcl>,j:uK«,_,.There A»n» Home ostiolea ol-fiivnlluio, teulnvoo'l chairs and tables

• iouil many more mats.; Pull removed his shoes and crept to|B ocrecued corner. From the privacymf th» screen he. watched down theileugtu of the room. Thero was noVisible door In tho walls. Ho couldnot even sec an aperture where he had

. tatlej^froni thn fltrongroom of the bank,

liutlio BUHJiccUa" tlmtlTio"enTTre*tmeftwall of t)io strong room hud pivoted hi-to tills strange place and pushed himdown. (? ,'"Suddenly a sound smoto the silence,tlio Hlmi'i> Intake .of a Chinaman'slirrulh whoa lie" Is surprised,'Phil looked from his hiding place.A strange jdguro woa approaching

down tho length of the room, a liu-luiiii form completely covered with aKtnuiRO diTSB of black: feathers. I twas a -small, bent form, end tho veilof black feathers hanging before thoInvisible face fluttered In and out withtho breath of Its wearer.

In its hand tlie strange being carrieda wicked looking knife.

"Ah, hnl" thought Phil, and his holdon tlio revolver tightened, "ilero istlie old Black Pheasant himself! I'mto lw uiiiieivod by threats, stirred bythefts, and when I attempt to diueover.the thefts I am decoyed hero and mur-dered. Well, two! cun pluy at thatgame, iriy somber bird!"

When tlio Ifluck Pheasant had rench-cd thn spot where Phil hud carelesslyleft his shoes he bent over them for amoment, and then, tittering a- shrillstaccato yell, ho turned and beganto search tho room. When he pokedIlls evil beud around the corner of tlioscreen Phil was ready for him. Thepistol spoke, but by a rapid turn ofi l s nrm tho Black Pheasant scut thobullet Hying to tho celling.

Will mnde n rush for tlio mnn nndgrasped tlio wrist that held tho uglyItnlfe, forcing the hand to the floor.There Phil struck It such, a blow withtlio knuckles of his other hand thattho knife dropped from tlie nervelessfingers. Both men made desperate ef-fovta to regain It, but neither could dis-tinguish in the dim light where it was.

Phil In grasping tho other's wristhad been made aware that the skinwhs oiled. Tho feathered man thushud a great advantage over I'lilL Thelatter had the advantage, however, Inbeing a man of herculean strength,He threw himself upon his antagonist,grasping his throat. This, too, wasoiled, but Phil mnnaged to get a gripof both hands ou the muscles of thonock, Including the wludplpe. Thatgrip ho held till one after another hefelt tho muscles of the body relax,and ho knew the man was dead.

Pbll crouched there in a listening at-titude. • - . •

Would the dim shadows of the longroom glvo up any more of these gro-tesque black feathered pheasants?

He waited until an eternity appearedto have passed; then he crept out cau-tiously, peering behind screens andsearching all the dark corners.

The result of his search was a hugechest filled with canvas bags of gold—tuo'gold which had been stolen duringBlare's time and the last thefts. Itwas all there Intact. The thief hadstolen but was afraid to spend.

Who was the thief that he or theylacked the courage to spend what theyhad stolen?

Phil went back to the prone figure ofthe Black Pheasant.

He drew aside the veiling blackfeathers and saw the wizened face ofold Wong Suong, the night watchmanwho had been proved of impeccablehonesty because he was openly so poor I-

Wong Suong was the Black Phan-tom. He s the^wrlter^f the mys-terious messages, he w a s the thief ofgold, .the murderer o f Oscar Blare, .thewould be murderer of Phil llanton.

Pull never discovered when tho back•wall of the Far .Eastern had been tam-pered with, but ho "suspected that ithad been known to Wong Suong for along time.

No one save tho officials ot tho bankever know the history of that nlgbt.Phil mnnaged to escape nnd securehelp. The gold was returned, to thestrong room and the rear wall ren-dered, firm, T h e mysterious room Inthe rear was taken for a director'sroom, and tho memory of Oscar Blarewas cleared of the stigma of suicide.• People say that tho Far Eastern bankMust have passed "through a "financialcrisis, for Manton lost his worried lookand has ever since then been his genialself.

But Phil smiles and tells himselfthat the shadow of the Black Phcas-nnthns passed away forever o*Hd thatthe Far Eastern Is as firm as the rockof Gibraltar.

But he cherishes a profound respectfor old Wong 6uong's powers of in-genuity.

FRAILTY OR FIDEIJTlf?

ThomnM wim seated In thevisitor's" gnlli-i'.v of the .stute Semiteone morning, and In her. smartly tail-ored black till; suit mid it llnworetflint her, fnlr iK'iiu'ty. was even morepronounced thun usual. Tho senatewnH (IlMcuKsIng ii bill for tho controlof public utilities by city gMveriiiucnrs,and Abigail's fnlher hail Just conclud-ed u speech In llu favor,

While the interest was nt Its height,the heavy (swinging doors of Hie t't'U-nte chamber oj>rn*fd slowly nud thereentered n pule,, .sml-fncod young wom-an who looked nt the si range scene,nli6ut her In a-vnnfuficd way.

As tho woman slowly approachedthe brass roll which formed a senif-

- circle'dividing • the senatorial desksfrom the seut section for visitors, Abi-gail Thomas recognized her as MamieMorton, who, a« Mamie Ellis, had been"her classmate In grammar school.Only a day or two before, SenatorThomas had spoken of the effortsMamie was making to have her hus-band pardoned from stato prison, andwhen Abigail saw hor standing thereshe felt a desire to help her.

Perhaps the desire was made "strong-er because Abigail was beginning tofeel remorseful about a quarrel shehad had with Stanley Worth the nightbefore. Stanley Worth was governorof the state and a suitor for Abigail'shand. After proposing to her four,times In three months and being givena different reason each time for herrefusal, he had told her that althoughho honestly loved her he would notlonger furnish her opportunities forIndulging her coprlclousnesa., Abigail's estimation of him went up

many points upon this show of spirit,but a moment later It was consumedIn the-heat of her wrath, as he gavea semltraglc quotation of "Frailty,thy name Is woman." So tho quarrelcontinued until Abigail said to her-self that she would make him sufferfor that contemptuous slander of hersex,

Mamie Morton approuched the ser-geant at arms and told him she mustspeak to Senator Thomas.

"I cannot promise tbatsthe governorhas taken any action," said SenatorThomas In nnswf'r to her eager ques-tion. "Many matters of state claimhis nttentlon at this time, nnd he maynot luive had time to look Into this."

"But sir," protested the woman, be-coming bolder In her suspense, "it hasbeen a whole week since the petitionsfrom our citizens nnd the judge nndjury who tried poor Henry were sentto his office. Honry Is Innocent, sir,and has already nerved n year In pris-on."

"I believe ho Is innocent," said thesenator, "In spite of the' circumstan-tial evidence Indicating that lie tookthe money from .Tnbe Ewlng's cashdrawer. I norm tho governor willcome to see it as I do. Come withme, fnd we will sop what baa beendone*" ":*} " ". "-_ •;'."And; let mr. go, * too, woitft you,

dad?".--a^Itcd. Abigail, who surprisedher father by joining them nnd greet-ing Mnmle cordially.

When they reached the governor'ssuite of offices. Senator Thomas gavehis card to a smiling secretary, whotook It nt om:e Into the governor'sprlvnte office.and returned a momentlater bidding I lie senator enter the

^gubernatorial uresence. As they satwaiting, Mamie told Abigail how ev-erything pointed to Henry's innocence.

As the dooi- of the Inner officeopened, Mamie stopped talking andstarted from her seat ns SenatorThomas entered, followed by the gov-ernor. The governor handed- MamieMorton a Ions folded paper bearingthe state seal.

"I am happ? Iff give you this paper,Mrs. Slorton," he aald kindly. "Whenyou present It to the warden of theprison he will jjlve freedom to yourjhusbnnd."

Senator Thomas quickly guided Ma-mie to the door and out through thelong corridors to the entrance of thebuilding.

In the governor's office, Abigailturned and walked up to StanleyWorth In a way that made him won-der whether Ills good fortune was adream. The smiling secretary had dis-creetly withdrawn to another room.

"Stanley, I camo here pnrtly to helpthat poor woman by being with her inher distress and partly to be presentwhen you have, to recognize that thename of one woman, at least, was notfrailty. But do you know why I haveremained?"

"No, I do not," he said, nnd hlavoice sounded queer and unnatural.

'Tve remained to sny that the fidel-ity shown by that woman has mademe nshnmed of what you called rayfrnllty, and to say—" Abigail paused,nnd her lovely betid went higher andher clenr blue* eyos looked fearlesslylrfto Stanley Worth's gray, ones, "thatIf you're determined not to propose tomo agnln, then I'll take advantngeof leap year and propose to you."

The blissful expression brought tothe governor's Wee by this startlingconfession was partially dimmed thenext Instant by the shadow of Sena-tor Thomns re-entering the doorway,but "SeTtaianagcfl to whisper a reply,nnd tho senator wondered what onearth it could be that Abigail had beenasking of the governor which broughtfrom him an Impassioned assurance,timt nn official I'onflrmntlon of his de-cision would be given her nt the curli-est possible opportunity., '(Copyright,.191(1. by Ilio McClure Nowspa*

Hanging

It Covered a LoveAffair

By Agnes G. Brogan

.Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.)

It had been a source of annoyanceto Gordon from the moment lie enteredthe well appointed new study nnd tookup his pen to write. Hero In the se-clusion of the country he had promisedhimself to finish undisturbed the bookWhich should add Mills fame.

Everything had seemed propitious tothat end—the email rented bungalow,its peaceful sotting of silencing hills,the absence of. interrogating friends.Old Martha, the housekeeper whom hohud brought with him from the city,attended hiterrlgently to all his wants,

Now, Into all this desirableness cametho disturbing element, a great ever-green branch hanging like a screen-ing curtain before bis very windows.Against Its thick fragrance the sunbattled hopelessly, while the Btudy re-mained In semi-gloom. If the boughhad been attached to a tree upon hisown lawn the matter might have beenquickly righted, but the particular tree,of this down hanging branch grew onhis neighbor's ground, upon the oppo-site side of tho high garden wall.

Gordon had carelessly noticed theplace as ho came along, the old, crum-bling house, the broken statuary andbasins of Its gardens bespeaking a timeof grandeur long past. Disgustedly at'last the author threw down his pen.

"It's no use," he told the attentivebut laconic Martha; "we will have tomove the study some place else." !

"You could not write in the openliving room," she answered truly. Theold bungalow's space was limited.

"Then I will ask them to cut thebough down," he said, and paused per-plexedly. "Who lives there?"

"Tho name on the door stone IsStuyvesant," Martha replied, "PeterBtuyvesant. That is all I know.l'

So Gordon decided to pen nb re-quest. Being in an impatient frame ofmind at the moment, his request wasmore hi the nature of a demand;

"The bough hanging before my studywindow," he wrote, "causes me muchInconvenience and annoyance. I mustask that It be Immediately removed."J. Wesley Gordon," he signed and re-membered with satisfaction that there"were few to whom the name was un-:known.

Martha was dispatched with the note,returning soon to say that, as no onehad responded to her ring, she haddropped the missive Into the Stuyve-sant mall box.

Gordon was folding away the frag-mentary, wc-rk of an unsuccessful after-noon when the answer came, a freckledfaced lad being'the bearer.

"The Impertinent old Dutchmanl" hemuttered, for this. Is what he read:

; "If you, woijld prefer to have the leftwing of our house removed Juat uiieii-tlon.that also. P,: Stuyvesant." .

The scattered pages of his day's workmocked blni. Duskily through thescreening branch flickered a shiftinglight, aud heatedly Gordon reached forIlls pen. '

"If that bough," he wrote, "Is notcut down by 0 o'clock tomorrow, Iwill go over aud do It myself."

This time he contented himself withsigning merely the letters "J. W. G."

When the second note in Martha'sapron pocket was passing through thegateway broken .In the garden wall,Gordon reflected that he had becu rath-er hasty. The Dutchman's Imprudenceto a "personality" had rather nettledhim, -For though-the author would notadmit the fact to himself, subserviencehad become a custom.

Back through the broken gatewayagain came Martha, silently placing aresponsive note In his band.

"Cut the branch down," was scrawl-ed In bold defiant script. "Cut thebranch down, If you dare! P. Stuyve-sant."

Gordon's brows came together angri-ly; then he laughed. "A threat, eh?"be said; "all right" He turned to thewaiting Martha. "The affair becomesInteresting," ho said. "I will now getout my gasoline buggy and run Intotown."

At tbe very end of the stragglingTillage street he found a hardware;shop and bought a saw, then be addedto hi* purchase a small shining ax.He smiled grimly as bis car sloweddown nearlng the great, shabby housenext door. From a rear window shonea light. Gordon had a mental pictureof .a fat, stubborn old Dutchman smok-ing his evening pipe in-the kitchen.

"Preparation for onslaught upon thetree of Peter Stuyvesant," he explain-ed to Martha, as he left hla implementshi the back hall.

It was in a lout; forgotten spirit ofboyish adventure that he sought themnext morning, and sauntered throughthe break in the stone wall. All wasstill. The old h6use and its gardenpresented an appearanca of havingbeen asleep for a hundred years. Gor-don was glad he" had put on tennisshoes; ho would be able to climb upHkg. a squirrel, arid when the branchhad fallen neatly h> would carry Itover and place It against their .verandapalings, to show his accomplished pur-pose. What had Stuyvesant meant bywriting tho words, "If you dare." Didthe fellow actually Intend to showflght? Gordon smljed invoiuntarllyiWell, If he did, the author might "showhim" that he had not forgotten col-lege years of athletic training.

He was ready; almost, ho was eager;then Gordon stODDed short in the oath-way. Crouched beneath the offendingevergreen tree was a bulldog, a huge,fierce Jawed brute; Its bloodshot eyesfixed upon tbe approaching author, itsbody trembling with rumbling, threat-ening sounds. So this was the "dare."Strange the possibility had not oc-

To go forward farther was very evi-dently useless. In flight—at least for-the- present—lay Gordon's safety. Ig-nomlnlously he retreated. As ho en-tered tho hallway Martha's eyes askedtho question her lips would not.

"I am going out later/' Gordon con-fusedly explained, ^to cut the thingdown." But when ho wont out laterthe doc bad advanced to tbe gap in

tlie wail, his Tapping Jaws seinilnirtospeak* Sisappolntineut In the endlHg'of the fray; Gordon smoked hls.pip'e"''for half nn hour that evening In theshelter of the bungalow porch betdteVdeciding upon a further course of ation. - ' ' (.

At last he got up and searched out'1

an old revolver, overlooking Its cas-'Ings. Never before had ifjj protectionbeen needed. He shook Ills head .seri-'ously at old Martha. . V- -

"With an ugly brute like that across^the way," he explained. Then Goidpu.wrote his last note of warfure.' ••%.,

"I am going over tomorrow to saw,the l>vftu*:h from yuur tree. If the dxi£Is tliero I shall shoot him on Hie sprtt.

"J. W. GOItDON."-1'Martha's face was quite white wh'dfi'

she brought back the reply. "TtijiVdog," she explained, "he sits under the,tree and growls. It makes me treuififc"to look at him." ' .....'

"The dog is a thoroughbred," rendthe answering note. "If you shootyou will pay every cent he Is worth..'It's a good dcul.

"P. STUYVESANT."' 'Gordon pondered. Some of thdse

brutes, he realized, were worth thou-sands of dollars, and the animal beingou Its.owner's premises would matfe,hlni entirely accountable. It was; aconfounding situation. Neverthelesshe ventured forth upon the following:morning; hut, while he was formidably'armed with saw and ax, the revolverreposed in a drawer lit bis desk—andthe dog was not there. Gordon breath;ed a sign, of relief. So his threat hadfrightened old Peter, after all!

It was no task at all to climb to thehigh base of the drooping branoli.Easily he swung himself out upon aneighboring limb and fitted the saw;A panting sound attracted his atten-tion, and he glanced downward. Thedog had arrived at his post In a mudrush. The author muttered an lmpre-'cation. So this was the plotted schemeto wait aud pin him up there help-lessly?

He might aim the ax at the dog'shead, ot course, but the brute was athoroughbred, and it might mean moteperhaps than the launching of his nowbook. Gordon bent down and whis-tled p'eaeeajjly. A fierce growl follow-ed, echoed suddenly by a girl's smoth-ered laughter.

The author wheeled about on hisswaying limb. At the back of the treestood a young woman. That she hadbeen engaged in silent laughter was.evident from the furtive dabs at her!still glistening eyes.

"Oh, dear'." gasped the girl. "Oh,dear; It was so funny!"

Gordon, speechless, was acutely,aware of the beauty of her mass ofbronzed hair gleaming In the sunlight,of the full red lips parting In helplesslaughter. '•:•'•

"It has all been so funny," she gursgled—"yesterday when you started'over so bravely and—and retreated itthe sign of the bulldog, and today1,'when with all those red axes and.,things you came like a whole fire de-partment." She bent to caress the dog.;

, "What shall we do with him, Bobs?'-'| she asked wickedly. "The poor man is'frightened to death."

Gordon made a frantic effort for dig-nity as he clung to the uncertain bough."I would like to speak to Peter Stuyve-sant," he said stiffly.

The girl shook' her head. "Youcan't," she told him. "There isn't any.Peter Stuyvesant was my grandfather,.I never saw him. Bobs la the enlj".relative I have. We come j>ut to theold place to live every summer." •<:,.

"But—hut the note?" murmured Gor-Idon, perplexed. ; l"

The girl's pink cheeks grew pinker."I wrote them," she confessed. "P.Stiiyvesant—that means Polly." . . "„'

For a long moment the girl's bliie'eyes looked up Into the man's brovyflones. ,i-\

''I had to," she excused; "you wereso commanding."

"I was." agreed Gordon. ».._•...., Then the awful thing happened;'Bendlug lower the better to sea hfe'face, the man lost his balance and fell,lying there a huddled body "at her feet.

And It was. Because the physicianfound It easier to move him Into7 theold house, near by, Martha came downfrom the bungalow to care for himthere. ., ,

So the dajjs and the weeks drifted by.-It was a very repentant and charming,young'Wofhan who kept Gordon's room!sweet with flowers from her garden,'who read to him through long after-noons, who sang to htm softly In en-chanted twilights, whose hands at lastclung to his tenderly, responsive, as he'held them close to Bis own.

"Dear," he said to her one evening,,whilj Bobs blinked affectionately atthem both—"dear, we must, come backhere every summer, and when you aremy wife you snail a s this old placeover, to suit yourself. We will t«,k'«down the Stuyvesant stone and giveto the house its new name."

Polly's radiant eyes twinkled back ather lover. "We will call our ahmnVethome the Hanging Bough," she said. '

TAKING CHANCES.

One of the Persian Proverbs Relatingto Matrimony.

The late David Graham Phillipshad, like many bachelors, a cynicalview of matrimony. Mr. Phillips,- ata well-remembered reunion of Prince-ton's class of '87, at the Princetonclub, said of marriage: "The Per-sians have a proverb that every youngman should consider well before pro-posing. It runs: 'He that venturethom matrimony it like unto one whothrusteth his hand into a sack con-taining many thousands of serpentsand ono eel. Yet, if the Prophet sowill it, he may draw forth the eel.' "

He Knew What Would Happen.Teacher—If you are kind nnd po-

lite to your playmates, what W)U bothe result? ' • • • . .

Scholar—They'll think they canlick me!

AUNTIE CONCILIATED

LBy CATHERINE CRANMER.

"Slnrian, are you actually engagedjto-thnt penniless young dreamer, Ger-.0.1 d Holmes.?" Mrs! Martyn threw this^Question, abruptly at her niece.| "Yes, Aunt Caroline," admittedAluriun, with a smile, for, althoughjfond of her worldly aunt, she was alsoamused at her KometimeH. "But mydecision wasn't bused on pennies" so.'much as on principles. It's makingjnoney the first consideration thatinalus so many marriages a failure."

"Dreaming, as usual," Mrn. Hurtynshook her well-groomed gray head."Still, I've hopes that you'll wake upbefore It's too lute. Come with me'tothe'seashore and make yourself agree-Jilile to the men you meet there.", While Muriua swum, golfed • nndflirted with tlie ellglbles nt tho sea-shore In a way timt misled her ambi-tious a.unt, Gerald Holmes busilyclicked away on his typewriter In amanufacturing section whose Iuborcraproduced the weulth which made itpossible for the rich ellglbles to liveIn luxurious Idleness. Every day let-ters passed between Marian and Ger-nld and every letter contained a bitof description of the life around thewriter. The contrasts were BO .strik-ing, that Gerald got the biggest-plotidea he had ever had, and he sat dayafter day and sometimes until far Intothe night, working on his first novel.

"Kindling the World's Kinship" wasthe title of his book, which came outearly in the fall, when the summeridlers were returning to the city. Itwas the story of a millionaire mineowner, who, when he went for thefirst time to Inspect conditions In hismines In the hope of averting a strike,was overwhelmed with the responsi-bility resting upon him In providingtlie means of existence for that smallworld of workers. With the aid of aminer and his daughter, who provedn sort of prophet and prophetess fortheir people, the mine owner facedthis responsibility so frankly and dis-charged It so fully that life after-wards meant infinitely more for himnnd for the laborers and their chil-dren than any of them had dreamedtlidt life could mean. Gerald pub-lished the book over the name of"Gery Marlon," but covering the Iden-tity of both of them.

At Mrs. Martyn's first receptionafter her return to the city this bookwas a main topic of conversation. AtMarians request, Mrs. Martyn had in-vited Gerald to the reception, and hehad the unusual experience of hearinghis. Jbook criticized with absolute can-dor. He had the very uncomfortableexperience, however, of seeing thatJohn Morehead, one of the most dis-tinguished-looking men present, wasdevoting himself-to Marian and of see-ing by Marian's manner that thoseattentions were not unwelcome. Ger-ald knew that Morehead was one ofthe many young married men whosemarital Infelicities had been aired Inthe newspapers, but In the midst ofhis anxiety over this unpleasant dis-covery Mrs. Martya called him to herand presented him to Mrs. Morehead.

"Everybody's discussing 'Kindlingthe World's Kinship,1" began Mrs.Morehead, "and ns you are a writer,perhaps you'll divulge some of thetrj'cks .of the trade. J'm not the oneto say whether this book Is good liter-ature, but I know It has made meqhudder at the thought of the amountof money thrdwn away on gewgaws\>i the few \vhen it could be used tomake life inore worth living for a loto{ people."\ ^Gerald saw that the woman was in-tensely Interested and that she wasBecking to Tcgnln n normal outlook- onlife, but his interest In her suddenlyceased to exist as he saw Marian andJohn Morehead approaching themafter a tete-a-tete over their tea*

"Mrs. Morehead," said Marian cor-dially, "this is the opportunity I'v«Jbeen hoping for, and I'm going tothrow myself on the mercy of allthree of you at the same time. Toyou, I have to confess an: unfair,monopoly of your husband all tliroughjthe_afternoon; to your husband, I haveto confess my responsibility for someOf his identical speeches being putinto the mouth of the hero of 'Kin-dling the World's Kinship,' and to Mr.Holmes, I must confess that I haveallowed the authorship of his book tobecome known to Mr. Morehead as thelast step In proving that it was notprompted by envy of- the wealthyclasses." .

"Mr, Holmes, forgive me for sus-pecting that you could envy anybody,"said 'John Morehead gallantly, "butuntil a few moments ago I didn'tknow you were Miss Martyn's fiance.I congratulate you."

"But we must keep that authorshipa secret among us fora while longer,"said Marian, with a blush and. alaugh, as she and Gerald startedaway from the Moreheads, for wedon't want our honeymoon spoiled byenraged millionaires."

John Morehead looked Into hiswife's eyes and asked • her If theycouldn't take a little honeymoon tripto the Pennsylvania mountains wherehis mines were. The haughty headlowered a little, and the words thattried to form themselves on her trem-bling lips were less eloquent of herwillingness than the glad brightnessthat shone through the tears In hereyes.(Copyright, 1916, by tho McClure Newspa-
