She will be your wife some day, or I'm no

Going back, the young man wheeled

SO young a man who had quarreled with

Thornes for neighbors.

asked his wife suspiciously.
"Don't know her from Adam, my dear,
but isn't she your friend, and haven't
heard her praises sung ever since we were
married?''
"H'm! We have a calling acquaintance,

Mrs. Smead looked volumes at her
handsome husband, but where is the man
who does not enjoy being a bone of con-
tention among his women folk, and if
Smead had special and particular virtue
it was that of being good natured.

and her husband-and she drew the line
at lending either, and If people wanted to
call her selfish they might. Fortified by
this law, she rented the southwest cottage.
Saturday night The invisible bridge
spans the distance between the world of
labor and the world of rest. The tranquil
air gave back no murmur of the multitud-
inons voices that had filled it with cries of
sorrow, anger or gladness during the work
DAYS of the past week. 1t was the ante
chamber of the Sabbath, time SO sacred
TO our ancestors that all work and all pleas
ure was suspended that the soul itself
might rest.
A great throng of people was hurrying
homeward, and all bore the happy burdens
of Saturday night-new shoes for the feet
of the little burden bearers, new bonnet
for mother, the Sunday dinner-and
among them Perry Thorne and Amos
Smead, who had struck up neighborly
acquaintance and were now fastening to
the same train, going out to their subur-
ban homes for their first Sabbath of rest
They were both laden to the ears with
brown paper packages and had just time
to make the train, after purchasing their
Communication tickets. They went looping

He swung himself clear off the train,
turned a somersault and waved "all right

perspiration from his face and remarked
to the man standing next to him, in a
friendly way
.'Nice way to spend the summer living
in the suburbs?''

growled the man.
Then Smead took bit of pasteboard
from his pocket and began to study it.

John H. Bahrenberg of Hoboken,
through his counsel, C. De r. Leonard
brought suit in the Hoboken District
Court some time ago against George
Clancy, also of Hoboken, to recover
5000 for goods supplied. A verdict for
the full amount was given in favor of
Bahrenberg and a constable levied on
two gray horses of Clancy's to ecure
the judgement. Notice was served or
Clancy to produce the horses on June 6,
but he refused to do so.
Clancy said the horses were not his
and submitted a bill of sale, dater June
7, showing the purchaser to be a man
named Thomas Ryan.
The case was again tried yesterday
