through her. convulsing the delicate
frame. Arthur watched her. his own
heart yielding compassionate response;
but he did not for an instant relax the
grip of his will upon her until he knew
that hers had surrendered. Then he
went out and left her there, alone.
Mabel was waiting for him in the
hall. She went up to him and put her
soft, roun4 clinging arms about his
neck. Oh, the human touch was good
after that struggle! He kissed her
again and again, gratefully.

A Gross Kronq.

In another column in this issue we print
in full the Communication from Prosecutor
Starr TO the Board Of Chosen FreehoIders
relating to the case Of Freebooter Barnaby.
This communication should be read
by every man in Gloucester county.
The evidence OF Mr.. Barnaby's misdeings
seems to be conclusive. Under the oircum-
stances there is no wonder that the prose-
cutor took the matter up with the Board of
Freeholders and submitted to them the
evidence upon which the Grand Jury based
their action. There was no other course
for Mr. Starr to take. The Prosecutor has
done his full duty and the Grand Jury
must bear the responsibility and odium OF
this deplorable perversion OF Justice. Il is
a blot on the fair name of Gloucester
County, a reflection upon proverbial
"JerseY Justice, gross wrong which
will not be condoned by the people Of this
county. Never has an act so aroused the
people Of Gloucester County to Indignation
as this Never. to our knowledge, has a
Grand Jury been the subject Of such criti-
cism In the face of overwhelming evil
dence Of guilt the people want to know and
have right to know why bill of indict-
ment was not found. Can it be possible
that political influence was brought to
bear Can it be possible as has been openly
charged that ''men may commit crime, and
if they be useful to some men high in
authority in this county, they may 60 un-
punished ?' II SO, it is time for the people
to rise up in their might and drive from
power the political combine which seeks to
dictate the nominations and control the
election Of men to public Office in Glou-
cester county.
