Good Wives on Staten Island.

To the Editor:
In regard to Staten Island Bachelors" asser-
tion that he cannot ind sensible girl for a wife.
We would advise him to open his eyes, and he
will hnd plenty of good sensible girls on Staten
Island without looking any further. We are four
Staten Island girls. and know hundreds OF girls
who are sensible and economical and excellent
housekeepers, but perhaps his lady acquaintance
are the Lady Flashers. who are not only a dis
grace to their sex, but disgrace TO the island.
At least he speah as though he has met them.
At any rate. we think that he. like the most OF
Staten Island bachelors is slower than moiasses
and as the men are plentiful all over a sensible
girl can get a husband and not be on the shelf
waiting for any one slow as he and his
brothers. Compliments OF the

soul. Comel For Gods sake, comet 1t
is murder to let you go thus. Only

All IN vain. No word came back to
him from tho dim, tangled depths. No
stir of bush or brake, no noise of foot on
rock or pebble gave him hint of her
- presence. Spite Of his calling, his crying
out, his wild running to and fro he
found no trace Of her.
Dare was lost to him, to the world,
it mightbe to lifeitSelf At the SPRING
brink SHE had Noted blind path run
ming down the jungly hillside above it.
As Glove for second took his eye from
her she had run swiftly toward it, gain
ed it and was crawling upward, safe hid
by its overhanging growths Face down
ward flat upon the earth, she drew her
self painfully toward the hilltop, with
tho wild adjurations of the man she had
baked falling full III her ears.
She had no thought of going back.
Better hundredfold death or madness
than to feel herself once again helpless
in his hands. Thefitful rain had ceased.
II came out of a broken cloud that had
deluged the lower valley, but here sent
down onlya scattering fall. The air was
hot and humid. The wind came in long
gasps, heavy freighted each with the
presage Of further storm. The night
would doubtless be wild, but there were
still some hours Of daylight If they did
they ut least made it possible to put a
long space betwixt her and her so vio-
lent lover.
Through minutes that seemed hours
she crept painfully along, her hands
scratched and bleeding, her bare head
catching ever and anon some vagrant
twig some down dropping bough. The
path was the merest trace, hardly foot
wide. Even when at last she followed
it upright hers was snail's progress,
so thick, 50 clinging, SO interlocked were
the briers and tangle on either hand.
Slowly. blindly, she followed it. She
had no idea whence it came, whittier it
ran, by what feet it was made. All her
thought was it must lead her somewhere.
If she persevered, it would take her out
of this wilderness that might otherwise
be her grave.
Up hill, down dale, it ran, now cross
ed by other and fainter tracks, now cut
ting sharp through disused cartway.
Dare had lived enough in the fields to
know its smooth surface meant the ha-
bitual tread of human feet. Evidently
they went upon secret errand, else the
wild growth would not be so left to
mask the path.
Miles and miles the girl tramped
through the waning day. More than one
ruffed grouse flew up from the thicket
as she came too near. A fox stopped and
looked her full in the face on top of
high hill. A wild turkey, with young
half grown, went with wide Swimming
wings adown q long narrow valley.
Sunset cal-,s ON, full of red, stormy
light AT the very last bloody rim
rested upon the hill crests. The sky was
full of warning clouds driven hither and

Dare's only answer was a quick,
scornful look. She went ON eating, swal-
lowing slowly and with such evident
difficulty that Cleve came forward, say
ing:
"Will you drink little wine?"
Dare shook her head
NO. she said "Conspirators stop
at few things. | know you do not mean
to harm me bodily, but drugs are potent,
and 1 have no doubt you would like to
keep me quiet until tomorrow.
In spite of himself Cleve's eyes fell
"There is no harm in the wine, he
protested. 81 will drink with you if you
doubt it.
81 will take your word for it," Dare
said "In return, as I really am very
thirsty, will you not let me go outside
for water? There must be spring close
at hand. 2
Twill show it to you if you will take
my arm, Clcve said, unfastening the
door and waiting for her beside it. 1--WE
must hurry, he went on. THE storm
is almost upon us We shall barely have
time to go and come before it breaks. "
Holding Dare hand close to his side,
he led the way to where a cold stream
gushed from under messy rocks at foot
of huge hill. The house they had just
quilted stood at the head of a long val
ley, narrow, winding and crisscrOssed
with the stream that here had head.
This had been the storehouse and su

Dare dropped on her knees beside tn

coldly:

eyes full upon her, while with quick
impatient motions she dashed the waite

ously;

apparently by accident. A gusty win

path. mstinetivoly Cleve darted after il
