CHAPTER. XIII.

Instinct said to Jane that Mohun,
broken and disappointed, would find
her out at once; and instinct was right
At Z O'clock in the evening Of the next
day Clifford walked coolly into the little
parlor where she was sitting, breath
lessly happy, and expecting him.
"Jane-let us be friends again"
This was all his explanation of the
past or promise for the future; but the
sound of his voice. of his footstep, was
enough to unlock the whole long frozen
love Of Miss Grands heart She made
no show of GOODNESS, no concealment of
what she felt at receiving him back

him to the place where they had used

into his face, and regret to say-cried
over him, as mothers sometimes do
over very prodigal sons who are given
back to them; and Mohun's pardon for
the cruelty Of seven years was sealed.

strange from its freshness and yet
haunting sense of perfect familiarity,

evenings of his youth. All as 1t had

During the first hour that they were
together Mohun could scarcely bring
himself away from one idea the change
on James face. He had expected to see
her somewhat altered, Of course, but
for woman to have so utterly faded
at efght-and twenty, only his own age,
gave him shock that was positively
painful. He had known many women
as fresh at eight-and-twenty as at
eighteen. or if not actually as fresh, as
charming in all the subtler graces Of
matured ana experienced beauty; and
Jane looked all but middle-aged.

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS


Residents of Burlington are demand
ing Of the authorities supply of purer
water having grown weary Of the in
effective agitation of the subject. For
two weeks, as is usual every spring
and every time there is a heavy rain,
the people have been compelled to
drink liquid mud, laden with sewage
from the Delaware, unless they used
filters or bought from enterprising
farm boys who peddle spring water
through the streets. The taxpayers
are very much wrought up over the
situation, claiming that much illness
can be traced to the water supply
and they will not be satisfied until
their demand is so met. The Council
more than a year ago, authorized the
Water Commission to secure an ex-
pert engineer to examine and report
upon the feasibility of securing a bet
ter supply either through filtration or
by artesian wells, and although that
report was made some months ago it
has never been made public.

In 1904 during drought in Silesia

sparks and great destruction followed
of forests belonging partly to individ-

ment. The amount paid by the rail-

100000, but it received $325,OO0 for
what was left standing after the fire.
The most notable fact in the matter
is that all claims were settled without
litigation.

Gas Waste Hurts oysters.

refuse from the gas plant is being

SWINGING ROCK FIRMLY FIXED,
South American Natural Wonder De-
fled Dictator of Argentine.

South American Natural Wonder De-
fled Dictator Of Argentine.
One OF the strangest of natural
wonders Of South America, is the
swinging rock of Tandil (La piedra
hovediza), says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The stone lies about half an
hours walk from the city of Tandil,
province Of Buenos Ayres, Argentine
Republic, upon the highest summit Of
a little rocky ridge. When seen from
the ravine it has the form of a giant
pyramid, while from another view it
resembles an enormous cone. 1t is
twenty-one feet long and twenty-eight
feet high, and its weight is Judged to
be about 1850 hundredweigllt, or
about 627 tons. From the distance the
stone presents a peculiar aspect. 1t is
so highly poised on the rocky slope
that 1t seems as if we were watching
stone roll down the hill and resting
for second upon very small base.
But when we approach this swinging
rock we are astonished by new
wonder. We can set the stone in mo-
ton by merely pushing it with the
hand. Very often the traveller is
spared even the trouble of pushing
the stone, as the wind will cause it
to swing.
Early In the nineteenth century the
Argentine Republic was ruled by the
dictator Rosa with unparalleled cruel
ty for about twenty-five years. To
show his supreme power the tyrant
ordered that the stone be encircled
with ropes and many horses to be
, harnessed to these ropes-but the
stone could not be moved one inch
from its resting place.

The Old Hrocade.


In a black oak chest all carven,
We found it laid,
Still family sweet Of lavender,
An old brOcade.
with that perfume came a vision.
A garden fair,
Enclosed by great yew hedges
"A lady there,
Is culling fresh blown lavender.
A-singing goes
Up and down the alleys green
A human rose.
The sun glints her auburn hair
And brightens. too,
The silver buckles that adorn
Each little shoe.
Her kerchief and her elbow sleeves
Are cpbweb lace;
Her gown, It IS cur old hrocade,
Worn with q grace.
Methinks hear its soft froufrou,
And see the sheen
OF its dainty pink mossrose buds
Their leaves soft green,
On ground OF palest shell pink
In garlandS laid;

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.
Mormon Church Disposes of Several
Large Holdings.

Salt Lake City, May 18.-The Nor
mon church is going out of business,
according to a local morning paper.
It's principal holding in Salt Lake, the
Utah Light and Railway company, is
to be taken over by a S25,000,000 cor
poration composed of English and
American capitalists. The new COM
pany will also acquire the Ogden
street railway and build an electric
line from Juab county, Utah, to Oneida
county, Ida. 1t will be known as the
Inter-Mountain Consolidated Railroad
company and will be incorporated
both in Utah and Idaho.
simultaneously the announcement
is made that the Salt Lake and Los
Angeles railroad, another church prop
erty, has been sold to local syndi-
cate for 100000. This road is thir-
teen miles in length and runs from
the city to the lake. President Joseph
F. Smith of the Mormon church is
quoted as saying that the divorce of
religion from business is made on &C
count of the fact that the Mormons
whom the church sought to protect
years ago no longer need the protec-
ton OF the church in business affairs.

BAILEY AGAIN ASSERTS PREsI.
DENT GAVE INFORMATION
TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Nay BE RASH AND INFECTIOUS
TEXAS SENATOR SAYS, HOW
EVER, HE Is NOT GUILTY
OF DOUBLE DEALING.

Washington, May 49, - Senator
Bailey, in the senate during the day,
revived the scene of the previous day
by having read letter he had written
to ex-senator Chandler asking him for
anything that he had written the pres
ident concerning himself and replies
from Chandler, including a copy of
Chambers diary giving a history of
his movements on the day when GER
tain memorandum was sent to the
president.
Senator Bailey quoted from the
New York Tribune and charged the
paper in it's Washington correspond
ence with modifying it's lies.
He referred to the report that the
memorandum was circulated among
Democratic senators. This he denied,
but he charged that the president
showed the memorandum to Repub
lican senator and to Republican
member of the house. He said that
the Chandler memorandum inlpugned
no bad faith to him, nor even to the
other senators. Senator Bailey de-
clared that the president did not
doubt his (Bailey's) good faith be-
cause three days after the memoran-
dunn was drawn up the president,
through Chandler, asked him to confer
with the attorney general on the sub
ject.
Mr.. Bailey took up the reply of the
Chicago Tribune correspondent to his
denunciation and said that it did not
meet the situation. He quoted from
it and intimated that the assertions
the correspondent made were based
on information obtained from the pres
ident or some one near him.
Mr. Bailey said that he had been
charged with being impetuous, rash
and dictatorial, but no one had or
could charge him with double dealing.
When such charge was made he
would brand across the forehead of
the man making the charge the word
lar in order that he might be
known and stunned of all men"
