CHAPTER XXXVI.

In lURGLI 1t is useless to follow
|(>1 the sequel in detail, to tell how
Hilda persuaded Thorpe to take
~ her money. To woman such
as she this was not very difficult task
in the long run-a few scruples of
pride; that was all.
II hate to do it," he said. ut doesn't
look right"
"You must" she insisted. II will not
take the position of rich wife to poor
man. 1t is humiliating to both. l will
not marry you until you have made
your success
"That is right" said Thorpe heartily
"Well. then, are you going to be so
selfish as to keep me waiting while you
make an entirely new start, when a
little help on my part will bring your
plans to completion?'
She saw the shadow of assent in Lis
eyes.
"How much do you need?" she asked
swiftly.
Il must take up the n5tes," he ex-
planned. II must pay the men. nav
need something on the stock market. If
go in on this thing I'm going in for
keeps. I'll get after those fellows who
have been swindling Wallace. Saw

"Why. it's nothing!' she cried.
I'm glad you think so," he replied
grimly.
She ran to her dainty escritoire,
where she scrubbed eagerly for a few
moments.
There" she cried, her eyes shining
there is my check book all signed in
blank. And I'll see that the money is
there
So it was that Hilda Farrand gave
her lover confidence, brought him out
from his fanaticism, launched him
afresh into the current of events. He
remained in Chicago all that summer
giving orders that all work at the vii.

FOR it had thrown him entirely within
himself during his militant years.
Let us rather look to the end of the
summer. 1t now became question OF
reopening the camps. Thorpe wrote tc
Shearer and Railway, whom he had re-
tanned, that he would arrive on Satur
day noon, and suggested that the two
begin to look about for men. Friday

Carpenter, Morton, Helen Thorpe and

THE PRINCETON UNION: THURSDAY August Is, 1904.

Big Junko and Anderson deposited
their burden on the raised platform of
the Office steps. Thorpe turned and
fronted the crowd.
At once pandemonium broke loose, as
though the previous performance had
been nothing but low voiced rehear-
sal.
ooh, aren't you proud of him." gasp
ed Hilda, squeezing Helen's arm with
little sob.
In moment Wallace Carpenter, his
countenance glowing with pride and
pleasure, mounted the platform and
stood beside his friend, while Morton
and the two young ladies stopped half
way up the steps.
At once the racket ceased. Every
one stood at attention.
"Mr. Thorpe" Wallace began, "at
the request Of your friends here, have
a most pleasant duty to fulfill. They
have asked me to tell you how glad
they are to see you. That is surely I'M
necessary. They have also asked me
to congratulate you on having won IT,
fight with our rivals"
"You done 'em good!" Cant down
the old fellow!' muttered joyous voices.
But said Wallace, II think that I
first have story to tell on my own ac-

why should 1 break the engage

with some alarm.
'You actually don't think he's en-

isn't he?" asked Thorpe.
"Wht, no, stupid! He's engaged to
Elizabeth Carpenter, Wallace's sister.
Now where did you get that silly
idea?"
II saw it in the paper"
'A1fd you believe all you see! Why
didn't you ask Wallace? But Of course
you wouldn't. Harry, you are the
most incoherent dumb old brute ever
saw. I could shake you. You need a
wife to interpret things for you. You
speak different language from most
people," She said this between laugh
ing and crying, between a sense of the
ridiculous uselessness of withholding a
single timely word and tender pathet-
ic intuition of the suffering such a ma
ture must endure.
Suddenly she jumped to her feet with
an exclamation.
:'Oh, Harry, I'd forgotten utterlyv'
she cried in laughing conservation
II have a luncheon here at half past
1. It's almost that now. I must run
and dress. Just look at me: just look!
You did that"
"Ill wait here until the COMPOUNDED
thing is over" said Thorpe.
"Oh, no, you won't!' replied Hilda
decidedly you are going downtown
right now and get something to put on.
Then you are coming back here to
stay"
Thorpe glanced in surprise at his
drivers clothes and his spiked boots.
"Heavens and earth!' he exclaimed.
II should think so! How am I to get
out without running the f1oor?"
Hilda laughed and drew aside the
portiere.
Don't you think you have done that
pretty we'll already?" she asked
There, don't look so solemn. We're
not going to be sorry for single thing
we've done today, are we?' She stood
close to him, searching his face visit
fully with her fathomless dusky eyes.
''No, sweetheart, we are not" replied
Thorpe soberly.

SOME NJ. E. CONFERENCE GOSSIP.
Some of Those Who Are Suggested for tiOnOrs
the Coming Session at Dover.

AS the time draws near for the an
nual NJ. E. Conference which meets at 1
Dover in March, a greater interest is
manifested in the subjects to be
brought before the conference. Friends
are also discussing the merits of the
ministers who have been mentioned
for presiding elders, as well as the
standing of candidates for lay dele
gates to the General Conference.
The friends of Judge Lore feel con-
fident that he will be selected to repre-
sent the Wilmington district, while
the friends of Superintendent James
E. Carroll of Dover, DIR. w. A. Harris
of Tome Institute and R. P. Jones of
Snow Hill, are working quietly for
their choice, and every name seems to
be good selection.
Among those spoken of favorably for
presiding elder is the Rev. Z. A. H.
O'Brien of Mt. Salem Church. While
there are many ministers in the con-
ference who are eminently fitted for
the position to be filled by the bishop,
yet the friends of Dir. O'Brien feel
that he is worthy and that Bishop Fitz-
gerald would make no mistake in Sc
lecting him. DIR. O'Brien has labored
in this conference for over twenty
seven years, during which time he has
| proved himself to be staunch Metho-
dist, man of fine Christian character,
always standing firmly on the side of
right.
In 1874 he graduated from Grant
University, having worked his way
through that institution. He taught
in an academy the following year and
in 1876 he joined the conference. Since
then he has filled the following
charges, remaining at each three years
with the exception Of HillsbOro, where
he remained only two years: Snow
Hill, Fruitland, Princess Anne, Chin
colleague, Madely, Chesapeake City,
Cherry Hill, Cecilton, Fairmount,
Frederica, HlllsborO and Mt. Salem.
Under his supervision half a dozen
or more churches and parsonages have
been rebuilt or modelled. Over $24,
900 was raised for these improvements
His benevolent collections have al
ways been large, and his fnancia
ability is one of his strongest points

causes it's expulsion from the air cells
of the lungs, produces a free expec-
toration, and opens the secretions.

remedy will cure a severe cold in less
time than any other treatment aud il
leaves the system in a natural and

DOLLAR WHEAT NOW BEING REALIZED.
Register of Wills D. Mifflin Wilson of Dover
Sells 1000 Bushels for $2,OOO-Other Sales.

Sells k,UUO Bushels for $Z,O00-Other Sales,
Wheat has reached the 81 mark as
predicted and there is now a great de-
mand for the article at that price.
Last week, says the Index, D. Miflin
Wilson sold about 1000 bushels of
wheat to the Messrs. Lewis, local mil
lers, at $1.00 per bushel. William
Taylor, also of Dover sold about 500
bushels to L. Fl. Howell, also a local
miller. Of course the grain is very
scarce and there is a great demand
for it, millers being in somewhat of
u predicament owing to the scarcity.
Sometime ago an alliance appeal,
was issued by j. A. Everett urging
farmers to hold out for 81 for their
wheat. Mr.. Wilson, who is Kent county's
Register of Wills, had faith enough
to hold on to his aud received the
very satisfactory price.
The price of flour has advanced 10
cents a barrel in sympathy with the
strength in the wheat market. An
additional reason is that the price of
barrels has been raised Is cents each
during the past year, and -four sacks
are higher on account of the continued
rise in price of raw cotton, from which
they are made. New -four barrels
now cost from 45 to so cents apiece.
This is due to the shortage in barrel
timber and the heavy demand from
apple shippers. Flour is 60 cents q
barrel higher than at the same time
last year. Corn is steady at so cents
per bushel and much is being deliver
ed in this section.

BOWERS BEACH WROUGHT
UP OVER A MURDER CASE
SENSATIONAL DISCLOSURES FOLLOW
DEATH OF ESTELLE ALLABAND.
Detectives Secure Evidence and Ms. Albert
Powell With Whom the Girl Lived, Ar
rested on the Serious Charge.

ICblGu Ou
Sensational disclosures tending to
show foul play were brought out Thurs
day night at the autopsy on the body of
Estella Allaban, who was found dead
in farm house near Bowers Beach
Thursday afternoon with her throat
cut from ear to ear. At first it was
regarded as case Of suicide, as large
knife with which the young woman's
throat had been gashed was clutched
in her lifeless hand. Coroner Abbott's
jury decided that death was suicidal,
but rumOrs that involved the theory
of foul play were spread abroad, and
Detectives Francis and Ratledge were
summoned to investigate them. They
spent the greater part of Thursday at
Bowers Beach inquiring into the case,
and about the life and habits of the
young woman. Up to Thursday night
they made no arrests. Miss AIlaband
lived with the family of Albert L..
Powell, with whom she had been for
many years.
Coroner Abbott caused a post NOR
tenn examination to be made. The
wounds were found of such nature
that it is believed that they could not
have been inflicted by the girl herself.
Other disclosures made by the cor
Oner's physician point strongly to the
foul play theory, and the state detec-
tives are redoubling their efforts to try
to solve the crime. They now incline
to the belief that it was murder in
stead of suicide.
The young woman who was consid-
cred good looking, was cut and hacked
in horrible manner, pieces of flesh
even being cut from her body. Her
arms had from 25 to 30 cuts and stabs,
undoubtedly received IN defending
herself. There were three horrible
cuts on top of her head and the face
was bruised and mashed until she was
unrecognizable.
A. w. Powell told the officers that
when he left home Tuesday the gir
was at the tub washing. He returned
from Wyoming. late in the afternoon
and as Estelle was not seen, he asked
for her whereabouts. Mrs. Powell
said she had not seen her since morn
ing and did not know where she was
After quite a search he found the life
less body in the attic of his home.
The officers have secured a grea
deal of evidence and will likely max,
au arrest. The girl is the daughter o
Theodore Allaband and a sister o
Mrs. Alfred W. Williams. She ha
made her home with Mr.. and Mrs
Powell since childhood.

Lodge Miles NJ. Dawson, Edward F.

ment was reported by the committee.
There was a lively discussion, after

LETTUCE SAID TO PREVENT SMALLPOX
Eaten ia Small Quantities Twice Day viii
be a Sure Protection.

Don't forget that lettuce is a pre-
ventive of smallpox. SO far as it is
possible for human being to be pro-
tected from catching smallpox, lettuce
is protection.
No need for vaccination whatever.
Any person who eats small quantity
of lettuce twice a day, morning and
evening, Is as well protected against
smallpox as it is possible for any one
to be.
To be sure, one ought to be clean,
live In ventilated rooms, and avoid dirt
of all sorts. Also avoid contact with
people who have smallpox. Foolish
exposure to the contagion of smallpox
fs not to be thought of. But there is
no need for vaccination.
Go calmly on about your business.
Provide a small>quantity of lettuce
morning and evening. and you can
feel sure that you have protected your
self and your family in the best possi-
BILE way against smallpox.
Lettuce is one of the oldest vege-
table remedies known to the medical
profession. Long before it was used
as food it was used as a medicine.
Many times it has been claimed that
it has magical or miraculous powers to
prevent contagious disease. We be.
lieve this is carrying matters too far.
But lettuce does furnish to the system
exactly what is needed to protect it
against the poison of smallpox.
We defy any one to produce case of
smallpox that has been contracted bv
any person who made daily use of let
tuce as food. If there is any such
case on record, we wonid be glad to
hear of it.
