CHAPTER v.-(Continued.)

The view from the veranda was
beautiful, and as the two walked back
and forth across the wide floor arm in
arm they enjoyed it silently. The moon
had risen and hung like, a great globe
Of yellow light just beneath a float
ing canopy Of tilmy clouds. Two
rows Of wind-moved elms stretched
ont past the great wrought gates
and between CLEANED the white ebert
drive. On a sloping lawn to the left
lay luxuriant parterres of flowers di-
versifed by well-kept walks, and
smooth plots of grass. Near the CEN
ter stood fountain, its sprays gleam-
ing like rain in an April shower
against the dark background of mag
nolia trees. The air which famed
their faces was laden with the per-
fume of hyacinth and roses. When
they had walked several minutes in
silence they paused at the window
from which they had reached the YER
anda, and looked in on the players.
Mr. Hardy was dealing the cards and
Capt. Wrinkle was relating some sort
Cf experience of his own which
seemed to have reused the. interest of
his host.
"Of course" the captain was saying,
the fellows challenge was greatsur-
prise to me. ] confess that did drive
against him out of pure devilment, for
had heard what an egotistical, pre-
stmptive ass he was, an I wanted to
pay him back for throwing my tip
IN the river as if he were the prince
of Wales, but heaven knows, I didn't
think Id get bloody duel on my
hands. AS you know, colonel, there
was nothing for me to do but to-
to make him see the absurdity of the
thing
Il suppose not" returned the colonel,
in q noncommittal tone. Whatever
may have been his secret opinion of
Wrinkles valor he knew his duty as
host too we'll to impugn it, or to render
his guest uncomfortable by sharp crit
icism. "And what did you say to him ?"
he ended.
why, I told him, of course, that his
challenge was a proof of downright
cowardice; that he knew well enough
that a man in my position could not
fight man in his. That settled him,

Not I, l assure you; ha, 1,af
gize to him! That would have ruined
him forever
Evelyn grasped the hand of Mrs.
Lancaster, neryously, and drew her
across the room to the players.
Your story, Capt. Wrinkle" she said,
her eyes flashing, reminds me very
much of piece of fiction have read
somewhere. The circumstances were
identically the same except that the Of
ficer in the story allowed the hero to
humiliate him by cutting off the but
tons and shoulder-straps from his uni
form. am SO glad your experience did
not end that way. The truth is your
case was far more agreeable than the
fiction in the other.'' h 4
Capt. Wrinkle paled and. interlaced
his fingers tightly on the smooth top OF
the mahogany table. For one second

eyes bore. his own to the ground. ~ A

This young man smiled indulgently
as he put down his glass and daintily
touched his lips and waxed mustache
with his handkerchief.

SOLONS At WORK.
Continued from First Page.

Assemblyman Garrison, of Morris,
stirred things up bit on Tuesday
when he introduced resolution
granting the freedom of the State to
Col. William J. Bryan. The resolu-
ton reads as follows:
information being received from
the newspapers that William j. Bryan,
of Nebraska, has decided to absent
himself long enough from his State
to visit New Jersey, sacrifice which
Nebraska reluctantly makes; be it
"Resolved, first, by this House,
with the concurrence of the Senate, as
proper recognition of this sacrifice,
that Mr.. Bryan be given the freedom
of the entire State as he has already
been honored with the freedom of the
populous county of Hudson /; resolved,
second, that as the one of Hudson
county has about completed arrange
ments for the reception of the distin-
guished guest, that the sixteen, of this
house be respectfully requested to
hand COPY of these resolutions to
Mr.. Bryan as soon as he enters New
Jersey"
Mr.. Garrison made few facetious
remarks in support of his resolution
and that invoked the wrath of AS
semblymen Albeit and Benny, who
paid their compliments to the Boon
ton editor. There has been a wild
conception on the part of some as to the
Pitney excise bill. Most of the writ
ers have jumped to the conclusion
that it is bill intended for the relief
of either Camden and Trenton or per-
haps both. The bill. however, is only
to cure defects in the law which was
passed last year and which gives to
Morristown it's excise board There
is no news whatever in it, it is an
old story, but it has furnished several
columns of good reading matter for
the people in different parts of the
State. The death of former Attorney
General John P. Stockton was shock
to the Legislators and the State Off
cials. The Attorney General on Fri
day last wrote to Governor VOORHEES,
dhSluS Hill W nA n UlIu0 Wu0A liz
would hear an argument on behalf OF
the murderer Clifford. now under sen
tence of death in Hudson County.
John p Stockton was the greatest OF
all the Stocl1tons since the days OF
Richard, the signer of the Declaration
of Independence. 1t may not be gen.
orally known, but the Stockton fam
lily had been in public life for zoe
years in this country and in England.
When John P. Stockton passed out Of
the Attorney Generals office, the line
of Office holding was broken. There
is no Stockton now holding any Off
cial position in the State, which is a
rare fact considering that they have
always ever since 1890 been identi-
fed with the public life of New Jer-
