In the Police Department of Jersey City
there are patrolmen whose all-around in
telligence is something to marvel at. AS
is customary at this time of year, the
men have been directed by the captains
to report all vacant houses on their
posts, in order tina additional precau-
ton might be taken to guard the dwell
ings while the occupants were away for
the summer. The result of this order
was that the intelligent patrolmen turned
in a list of the louise to let on their
posts.
AS one of them expressed it. there was
no doubt of the vacant condition of such
houses.
The order was explained to the men
last evening, and hereafter there will be
no mistake in the kind of vacancy meant.

GAY UNIFORM WON A BRIDE.
Lucy Was Engaged to Another. But
Her Lover Returned.

At st. Mary's Roman Catholic
church in Derby, Conn, the banns of
marriage between Joseph Tombley and
Miss Lucy Clifford were published for
the first time Sunday, May Z, but were
not published for the customary second
time.
Miss Clifford went to New York Sat-
urday and was joined there by Archie
Waters, second assistant engineer of
the government transport Crook, and
they We're married in that city.
Preparations for the proposed from
bley-Gifford wedding were going mer-
rily along when Engineer Waters came
back to Derby on furlough. He and
Lucy Clifford formerly were sweet
hearts. When Lucy refused Waters a
few years ago he went off to sea.
Arrayed in a handsome uniform ne
came back few days ago. A chance
meeting on the street with Lucy led
to reconciliation and they became
lovers again. Joe Trombley was not
thought of.
Waters went back to New York 10
join his boat. An estrangement fol-
lowed between Lucy and Joe, and lie
magnanimously released her from her
promise to marry him. Then she took
the first train for New York, where she
became the bride of Engineer Waters.
That is why the marriage banns were
not published second time at st.
Mary's.
The young woman is a member OF a
we'll known Derby family, the mem
bers of which are at a loss to under
stand her actions. They favored
Trombley's suit and thought it was a
love match. Trombley says it was
Engineer Waters gay uniform which
lost him bride.

COPPER-LINED STOMACHS.
Remarkable Gastronomica Feats OF
an Englishman and an American.

John Collins, who has lately dis
tinguished himself by swallowing
ninety-one pebbles and has just come
out of the PetersboOugh infirmary
where he has been in retirement at
the consequence of his feat, no doubt
thinks he has beaten the record. He
is mistaken, however. A much more
remarkable feat is recorded in the
museum of Guys hospital, where they
have some scraps of pocket knives
that have been swallowed by one John
Cummings, an American sailor. He
and his mates went to fair and saw
moutebank doing some wonderful
knives. Most of them were greatly
impressed by the performance, but
Cummings made light of it and de-
clared he could do the same If he
liked. On being dared to do it, he
took out his own pocket knife and
bolted 1t. His shipmates were natural
ly delighted. they piled him to still
further achievements. Cummings bold
ly declared his readiness to swallow
all the pocket knives on shipboard.
They were instantly offered him and
he actually swallowed them all. One
of the four he seemed to have per-
manently appropriated, and for six
years he experimental no more in this
way. Eventually, however. he tried a
few more of these somewhat indi-
gestible articles of diet, and, 1t Is
said. would swallow a knife with the
utmost Indifference.
When Cummings told his story to
the doctors, as, of course, he had to do
in the end they thought him mono
maniac and were inclined to pay no
attention to it. External examination,
however, showed that metal point
had perforated the wall OF the stomach
and induced the hospital authorities
to administer powerful solvents in or
der. If possible, to get rid Of the OBJ
structiye fragments OF this singular
dietary. Perhaps the stomach which
had held out against pocket knives
gave in to the doctors strong medi-

The Parting.

They had been talking for more than
an hour. He had given her the whole
history of the royal wedding of what
his embassy consisted, of the length
of time he would be absent, how he
should think of her continually, how
he implored her to write to him every
day, and she had given him every de-
tail of her interviews with Mr.. Sewell
and Lady Lanswell. THEN he said to
himself that 1t was time they made
some arrangement over the future
so we are to live apart until next

CHAPTER KIN.
I.eone's Prophecy.

No words could do justice to the
state of mind In Which Lord Chan
dos founu himself after that interview
at Cawnor. lie rushed back to Lon
don. or the three previous days re-
naming he spent one In hunting after
the shrowdest lawyers In town. Each
and all laughed at him--there was the
law, plain enough, SO plain child

smiled ut his words and SAID. half con-
temptuously, they could not have inn
agincd any one so ignorant of the law.
They sympathized with him when he
spoke of his young wife, but rs for
help, there was none,
The only bright side to 1t was this,
ne could remnrry her the Jay he came
of age or that there was and could
be no doubt, he said, but he was bent
on finding some loolholc, and marry
ing her at once, If 1t were really need
full for the ceremony to be performed
again. 1t could not he, and there was
nothing for 1t but to resign himself
to the inevitable. He did not know
that Leone had heard The terrible sen.
tence, and he dreaded having to tel
her. He was worn out with sorrow
and emotion. In what words was h,
to tell ner that she was not his wife
in tho eyes of the law, and that I
they wished to preserve her character
unspotted and unstained she mus
leave him ut once?
He understood his mothers charac
ter too well to dare any delay, II,
was sure that II Leone remained over
one day under his roof. when the tim,
came that he should introduce her Il
the world as his wife. his mothe
would bring the fact against her, an,
so prevent her from even knowing

ROSES.

I'm taking roses home with me to-
night;
Red roses, costing half my weekly
pay;
They'll give my wife perhaps an hours
delight,
And then she'll cast them carelessly
away.
What fools we mortals be! Long years
ago
I plucked, with careless hand, wild
roses red,
And tossed them to a maid used to
know.
Today l found some rose leaves,
faded, dead,
Hid in little corner where my wife
Keeps sundry treasures stored;
note or two;
A young mans photo; mot, I trust,
like life;)
A toy, a trinket, and baby's shoe.
I'm fifty now, and counted somewhat
gruff;
My figures portly and my hair is
gray.
Bah! One would think that 1 was old
enough
To scorn the mad joy of a bye-gone
day.
And yet felt unreasoning delight
To find those withered rose leaves
lying there;
And well, I'm taking roses home to-
night;
And all the time l wonder, will she
care?"
