This was blow to Martha, for she
feared that hor husband would refuse
to seek other employment now that a
certain long-delayed event seemed on
the verge of happening, and in that case
his mental state would surely not profit
by the change, She was right; he mere
~ said she must get along without any
salary after this. II can't be SO very
long now"
Still it would be very hard to get on
without the salary, Martha concluded
even If only for a year or six months
And so in secret she went down to the
old State-strcet house and begged Van
Dorcn to increase the allowance he was
making them. He refused with an ire
full sneer. He looked, indeed, the typi-
cal miser that day, with his bent form
clad in faded, ragged drcssing-gown
and the shabbicst of little black skull
caps on his bald head.
Poor Martha went away heavy-heart-
ed. What was to be done? The chill
dren must not be brought up like pan
pers, though already they were not
on a social level with other children of
like parentagc and position. But soon
there dawned a way out of the difficult
ty, though scarcely one that might be
said to beam with relief. Old Samuel
suddenly died, and his wife, stricken
by the shock of his loss, hardly sur
vived him a month. Van Doren was
now quite alone, and at times marked
ly feeble. He consented that Stan
field and his family should come and
live with Kim in State street, which
they at length did. To wiring from the
old man money enough for even fru-
gal household wherewithal was hard
work enough; and as for his consent
that single yard of new carpeting, a
single pint of new paint should repair
in his abode the augmenting blemishes
of time, this was an achievement be-
yond human suasion. Dignity and dis
tinction had been ciphers before now
in the Stanfield family circle, but now
they were worse than non-existent-
they had been brought to life again in
she sense of travesty and parody. 1t
got about that this dismal minaGo had
been formed, and pitiless jests ensued.
Luckily, Martha heard none of them.
Perhaps if Stanfeld had heard them he
would not have greatly cared.
Martha's life had now become a mar
5yrdom. She blessed the public school
or its wholesome helping of her boy
ind her girl. They both became far
more her children than their fathers.
All that was sweetest in the womanIy
wisdom and hardihood Of her character
he lavished upon these two. Again
md again she found herself hoping that

meals there in State street were almost
like those in some private prison where
live convicts daily assembled at the
board. Everybody's clothes grew rusty
and pathetic. The big house, though
Kept passably clean, assumed an aspect
of dingier desuetude
| As for Stanfeld, his features hic
walk, his voice had all notably altered.
Though unconscious of it his drawn
countenance betrayed look of constant
mingled WEAKNESS and expectancy. To
his wife he was like man whom some
stealthy insanity keeps enslaving with
subtle and threatening thraldom, Often
he would show by his eyes a hungry
eagerness which was like NOTHING so
much as that of an eavesdropper
crouched at the keyhole of q door when
he hopes to hear tidings of tremendous
import. And now to Martha now and
distressing quality became manifest in
his behavior. This was seeming svm-
pathy with his uncle's deplorablc mean
ness. AS the months amassed them
selves into years he showed a tendency
TO talk with Van Doren on the subject
OF investments in bonds and mortpaoes
and rents. All day he would either
aiinlessly wander the streets or else
hold converse with his lsinsnlan of lust
this coldly mercenary kind.
In vain Martha demonstrated In
VAIN she tried to rouse HIM from the in
toXication OF his hard materialism, He
would soften towards her for a few
minutes. Don't get out of patience

CHAPTER Ill
And SO another five years went on,
Myndherst Van Doren was now SEVENTH
eight. There seemed no change in his
bodily vigor, however Rheumatism
attacked him at certain periods, but
never so severely that he was unable to
walk. Now and then he could not leave
the house, but such periods of immure-
ment We're rare. AS for driving out, he
mad given up keeping carriage since
his perilous accident.
He is waiting for a dead mans

band. "There is that fortune coming
to him and he cannot keep his mind
from it. All his old vigor of character
has gone from him. He might have
done so much for himself during these
ten years, but this wretched suspense
has crept like a poison through all his
nerves"
The children, as they grew elder,
were sent to a public school. New
York had now greatened in an eastward
direction, and the Stanfield home was
IN Essex street, but stones throw
from East Broadway. Stanfleld was a
iitfully affectionatc father and by no
means good one. His children feared
him moro than they loved him. At times
he would overwhelm them with kind
ness, but they never knew lust when
his intense irritability would break
forth.
Martha, as the next decade began.
strovc TO console herself with the ex-
pectation that Van Doren's fortune
might now ct any moment become
theirs. Discovering that her husband
was placated by such words as: ''Oh, to-
morrow we may be wealthy she used
them with an increasing abandonment
OF good breeding 1t was like doubling
and TRIPPING the doses of opium for a
pain-stung patient. Formerly the mode |
OF consolcmcnt that she now used |
would have seemed to her brutal and in |
the most shameless taste. But TODAY.
and through n series of morrows, the /
of the process clad itself /
in callousncss, Their very children got
into the habit of saying aloud and fear
lcssly; ANY day we may be rieh;" or:
when Uuclc Myndhcrst dies we shall
have thousands and thousands of dol
lars"
But the years dragged themselves
along and still Uncle Myndherst did not
lie. One day, however, the head of the
Van Neckten firm died, and as there
was no successor of the name, and as
the two partners We're well along in
years. the firm underwent dissolution. !

the certificates will ever be used for the
purpose for which they are designed.
The board has furnished a patrol
wagon for the use of the men paid by
the state alone. Chief Oren B. Bates
hlrnself cannot use it. He is paid by the
town. None of the officers paid by the
town can use the wagon. The metropoli-
tan otticers who use the wagon will deal
directly with the beard. The chief Of
police will have nothing whatever to
90 with the time, place or circumstances
under which they call the wagon.
Inc selectmen hold that the letter
written by the board TO the men was
IN itself a usurpation of authority. The
selectmen believe that, and dealings the
BOARD has with the men should be
through the selectmen, or through Chief
Bates. Chief Bates was unable this
afternoon to see how he could permit
the use of the patrol wagon, under the
terms prescribed by the board, and keep
his self respect.
He will not permit 1t to be used, I'M
less he receives orders from the select
men 20 do so. 1t is not likely that he
Will. The books containing the certifi-
Gates were expressed to Chief Bates to
be distributed to the nine officers en-
titled to receive them. They win be dis
tributed, but the officer who uses them
the head of the department. The off,
GERS who are entitled to book are
William Johnson, James FreeI, Walter
Burke, Robert Crothers, George Burlx,
James O'Malley, w. R. Clark and John
F. Murphy.
A proposition was made in the board
Of selectmen relative to the purchase of
patrol wagon for the towns exclusive
use. The matter was referred to Town
Solicitor e. A. Evans for his opinion,
and is in statu quo. The police need
something of the kind. If no satisfac-
tory arrangement can be made with the
water board, it is likely the town will
go it alone.
Selectman William Rodger is con-
Quoting the negotiations with tine water
board. Selectman P. T. O'Brien thinks
the water board is making an effort to
insert a finger of authority into the
police force. Nest people think the
same. 1t is thought, as The Spy has
printed, that the board would like to
establish an Independent police force
and be chief itself.

THAT PATROL WAGON.
Certificates from Metropolitan Board
Cause Wry Faces.

The trouble about the patrol wagon in
Clinton seems to be climaxed. Some
thing will have to break pretty soon.
The Spy has made the townspeople
familiar with the fact that the select
men and the police were not much i'm
pressed with the offer of the metropoli-
tan water board, who have furnished
wagon, but have limited its use to the
nine members of the force who are maid
by the state.
Some time ago the board wrote a let
ter to each of the metropolitan officers
telling the recipients that the board
would shortly send him some certifi-
Gates, upon which patrol wagon returns
should be made.
Today the certificates arrived Thev
are contained in nine little books sim.
liar in appearance to pocket check
books. The certificates are in duoli-
cate. They read:

ify that have this day called the pafrol

for the signature of the officers. One ~
these certificates is to be given to Muir
ply Bros, who are under contract n

often as the wagon is wanted. Tho
other is to be sent to the board.
This leaves a stub upon which tbe
officer can make record for his own
benefit.
Each certificate is numbered. Each
book has its own letter. There are nine
