Cupid Versus Neptune

Judging simply from appearance, a
person would have said that Nellie At
kinson was both pretty and kind
hearted girl. Yet she took delight in
making Jack Hastings unhappy
Which was certainly piece of I'M
warranted cruelty. for Jack was big,
athletic, good to look upon and, in
addition, thought the sun rose and
set simply for the benefit of Nellie.
But Jack had one misfortune, and
for man who is anxious to share the
amusements OF pretty girl at a sea-
side resort it was a serious one. No
one could row better than he on a
smooth river or an inland lake. In fact,
he had been stroke for two years on
his college crew. But to venture on
the water when the least swell was
coming in from the ocean made him
deadly seasick. And Nellie, instead OF
giving him the sympathy to which he
was clearly entitled, was strongly i'll
clined to tease him over his inability
to sail boat in comfort even in the
bay which ran out from tie beach.
On this particular morning. Nellie,
a charming picture of a pretty girl in
yachting costume and cap, was stand
ing at the end of the wharf. At one
side of the wharf was moored her lit
tie sailboat A good breeze was blow
ing in from the ocean, making it de-
lightful morning for sail, although
few clouds lying low or the horizon
gave a hint of unpleasant weather to
come.
Help me to fix up the sail, please,
Jack" said Nellie, with an air of great
cheerfulness, land then We can take
a run out into the bay. There's love-
" swell on this morning"
Jack helped hoist the sail, but he
didn't seem to share Nellie's cheerful
uess over "the lovely swell"
Instead of sailing, wouldn't it be
a nice morning for a walk in the
woods or spin on my machine? he
suggested, with timidity which was
really disgraceful in such big, strong
man.
Nellie loked at him with an air OF
the greatest GOODNESS. How was Jack.
q mere man, to know that half OF the
coldness was assumed?
every WE'LL" she said severely. IF
vou don't care to go when l invite you
will go alone. I'm scrry you consider
It such q bore to sail with me-"
This was as rank injustice as any
one. even a pretty girl, could be
guilty. of. Nellie knew that nothing de-
lighted Jack more than to be with her.
she also knew that tie sole reason for
his reluctance to sailing was the GER
tainty that he would be seasick. IN
vain Jack tried to explain matters, to
humble himself, to assert that he was
longing for a sail. Nellie had issued
her decree, she would not alter 1t. In
her heart of hearts she thought nearly
AZ much of Jack as he dlu of her. But
n must he confessed she liked to tease
him.
"Better not go out alone. miss,
said an old fisherman. who came louns-
ing up the wharf just as Nellie was
starting off. Them clouds on to the
east look like squall. And II it comes
It will come mighty sudden"
But Nellie, obstinate in her deter
mination to punish Jack for his hesita-
tion in accepting her irritation, refus-
cd tn heed the warning. A moment

sail her boat without his assistance.

TOBACCO CASE LAID OVER
Hearing on the Injunction Pro-
ceedinss Continued for
a Week.

Counselor Baldwin, of Newark, ap-
peared before Chancellor Stevenson
this msrning and asked for an adjourn
ment Of the hearing in the matter Of the
application for an injunction to restrain
the United States Stemming s. Tobacco
Company of Newark from holding its am
nnal meeting, Mr.. Baldwin based his ap-
plication on the ground that Ex-Governor
Griggs, who had been retained to try the
case for the complainants, was engaged
in another court and could not tell when
he would be disengaged.
Mr.. Robert McCarter, who, with
Chauncey Beasley, appeared for the de-
fendant company, opposed the motion.
He said that the complainants had
charged the management Of the company
with fraud and they were anxious to
have the charge set aside as soon as pos
sile.
Moreover, Mr.. Carter continued, the
order which had already been granted in
the case restrained the company from
transacting business. The company had
just received large ordere for manufac-
tured tobacco from England which it was
unable to fill while the restraining order
remained in force. For that reason also
the company was very anious to have the
matter disposed of.
The Vice-ChanceIlor laid the matter
over to week from Thursday.
