HIS INJURY "IMMEDIATE."
Even II He Wasn't Laid Up for Two Days
Accident Insurance RuIinE.

The contention OF the Traders and Travel
ers' Accident Insurance Company OF New
York in the suit brought against 1t by DR..
Edwin V. Brendon that the words 'imme-
diately, continuously and wholly dis
abled" must be taken literally was re-
jected yesterday by the Appellate Divi-
sion in reversing the Appellate Term OF
the Supreme Court.
DR.. Brendon, while standing in Lexing-
ton avenue car In February, 1902, hanging
on to strap, sprained his left knee as the
car swung around a curve. He got home
safely. but in a couple Of days was unable
to move around. He remained in bed
three weeks, and when the insurance COM
pany refused to pay him $50 week for
the three weeks DR.. Brendon brought
suit. He won in the Municipal Court and
lost in the Appellate Term. The APP
pellate Division says in part
The injury had been sustained. 1t af-
fected him Immediately The disa bility at
tached Immediately and was progressive
and continuous. ii the insurance did not
cover such a condition. 1t was OF little value,
and to- allow an insurance company to re-
ceive large premiums and escape liability
in these circumstances would be TO sane
ton the. preparation OF fraud upon It's
policy holders. The rule of construction
applicable to these insurance policies Ia that
the words employed shall be construed most
strictly against them.

Mr. Henslow was politician and this
was an election speech. When he got to
Westminster he modified his views. as he
was made to understand that the House
would not listen to any hint OF protection
and that @the times were not ripe for any
thing OF that sort yet.
Lord Arranmore was the prince OF sim
ners from whom the book takes it's title.
Once, when he was a young and idle man OF
good social position, he had had shock.
In a very dramatic way he was suddenly
made aware of the misery OF the jewellers
in the London slums. He disappeared
from his usual West End haunts, and for
ten years worked among the poor as police
court missionary. Then came the time
when he abandoned his efforts in despair.
He thus described his sensations:
There came a night when found my
self thinking, and knew then that new
terror was stealing into my life. I made
my way up to the roof, and leaned once
more over the palisading and looked east

an attack of brain fever. Then the e1-

the Warden has been getting Myer warnings

posed to be the narrator Of this tale, Is an
entertaining chap with imaginative powers
that are equal to the strain Of any emer-
gency. Baron Munchausen was q mere

Of a voyage Of adventure to land Of gold

The little parish Of Bishop Solingford =
couple OF centuries ago, as the doctor de-
scribed it, must have been a poor place for
an adventurous spirit to be stranded in.
A broad, fiat. uninteresting countryside OF
sluggish streams and sluggish men. And
on q certain vile winters night, when the
doctor had drawn his padded armchair
to the fire, set asteaming tankard Of mulled
ale at his elbow, and Lit his long church
warden. he sorrowfully concluded that his
was a poor, drab, colorless life. But pres
emily he had a visitor, strange enough to
rouse him from his sense OF the monotony
OF exist ence. This was MIR. Cochran. the
coxswain, rover Of the seas and as strange
a specimen Of humanity as the reader ia
likely to meet with in some time. He was .
thin. scraggy, bow-legged sailor man,
dressed in an old wide pair Of patched
breaches and a dingy blue coat with the
tails cut off, This Is how he appeared to

back to the fire and unlimited helped him.

churchwarden:
His hair, Of which could not discern

and high: his cheek hollow, as though
sucked In by his breath; his chin sharp
and protuding; his mouth = slit and the
hue of the whole skin something between
a rich copper and the Whitley brown Of a
rotten apple. From beneath his chin a
beard depended, q straight straggle Of gray
hair. like that OF billy goat, and there
was something set In 1t which glittered in

Just what 1t was that glittered in the
sailor mans beard We must leave the reader

shell-back took the doctor and the village
blacksmith of on a round Of adventure
that was full OF surprises. The imagina-
