1t was all because Grover. in a sud-
lien fit of sentimentality, had annexed
Miss Lenhart's glove. On the football
field. in the woods In the hunting sea-
son or at polo Grover was afraid of
nothing, but there was something
about the five foot daintiness of Laura
I.enhart that made Lloyd Grover blush
and stammer like the rawest school
boy in the maddest stages of his first
love affair.
He never would have dared to annex
the glove had he not been certain that
Miss Lcnhart was unaware of her loss,
and he stuffed it in his deepest pocket,
trembling from head to foot lest some
one suddenly appear and demand that
he restore the souvenir to its owner.
Later on he participated In the gen
eral hunt for the glove, and none was
more eager than he In the search.
Even after Miss Lenhart laughingly
declared that it did not matter he kept

home. Grover could not resist the
temptation to draw the glove from his
pocket and gloat over his boldness.
He even pressed 1t to his lips, after
making sure that no one was looking,
but he crushed it hurriedly In his hand
at Jack Turner's approach, and as he
did so for the first time he realized
that there was something inside the
glove.
With the perspiration standing cold
upon his forehead. he realized that 1t
must be ring, and his active imagina-
ton at once busted itself with plans
for returning the jewel undetected. He
could never bring himself to confess
the theft Of the glove. He could not
pretend to have found the ring without
being forced to explain why he had not
returned it at once, and a thousand
and one suggestions all equally impos-
sible, rushed through his mind.
Ali the time he was keeping up con-
versation with Turner. and he much

The daily performance is marked with

full OF interest to the intelligent on

signifies the mere bringing together OF
the heavy wooden doors and barring
the emperor's highway against all
Corners.
At the appointed hour preliminary

almost to defy calculation. This IL

NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb IT,
The estate of Margaret Mcdonald, of
South Amboy, the woman who left
two wills and was declared to be in

were drawn up, yet one of which was
probated, although both were contest
ed, is again in the Orphans Court,
this time on rule to show cause
why it could not be sold TO pay debts.

the estate amount to 81 1,644. 80, and
that the personal estate is worth but
$1,400. 1t was thought the estate
at the time of the will contests was
of considerable value but apparently
it is not.

WANT WHOLE
STREET PAVED.

Because a number of the residents
of Gordon street think that they are
not being treated fairly in regards to
the petition to the Board of Aldermen
asking that Gordon street be paved.
they may send in remonstrance
against the paving OF only part of the
street as il is now understood that
the petition calls for.
When the petition was first being
circulated it is understood that a
number of those who signed it
thought that it was for the entire
lengthof the street, from the water
front TO the Central railroad tracks,
but they new find that it is only from
Rector street to Madison avenue and
they object to this very much.
With the paving of the street only
between Rector street and Madison
avenue, it would leave out the prop
erty below Rector street, owned by
the Chapmans and st. Peters church,
and above Madison avenue, the prop
erty owned by a number of people
who would like to see some improve
ment
While nothing definite is being
done as yet, it is thought that the res
idents who signed the petition think
ing that it was for the entire length
of the street, will take some action.
