CHAPTER IT.

I have said that when Clifford Mohun
first saw Jane Grand her face was
radiant with the richest beauty of her
youth, and lit up by the tender glory
of setting summer sun. ought
rather to have said that Jane Grand
thus appeared to Clifford on the first
occasion when he ever looked upon her
with the discerning eyes Of the spirit;
for, Of course, he had seen her hun
dreds Of times before, and during many
years past, with the common and un-
inspired eyes of the flesh.
"Afiss Grand, may ] hope that you

Jane started guilty, and blushed up
to the roots of her hair.

And then she broke down.
Clifford thought, first how wonderful
~ beautiful her bushes looked, shin
ing through those clear cheeks and
temples; secondly, that it was beyond
all doubt her pleasure at seeing him
that had called them forth.
"But you don't shake hands with me,
Miss Grand. You used always to shake
hands with me when you were a little
girl

Fast line Trolley Planned.

A New Brunswick lawyer, who has
been occupied for the past two months
In buying up rights of way for the
lrenton-New Brunswick Fast Line
trolley, which is now planning to ex-
tend it's line to Elizabeth, declared
here is no truth in the rumors that the
Fast Line is owned or controlled by
the Pennsylvania Railroad, but init
mated that the Public Service Cor
poratiohs is more closely affiliated with
It. Surveyors have been busy in this
section locating line of railroad, and
1t is said that options have been Sc
sured ON several pieces of ground that
might control q railroad right of way
1t is believed that the surveys have
some bearing ON the rumor that the
Pennsylvania Railroad is projecting
q short freight line from Newark to
Trenton.
