Port Jervis, n Y-Saved his life,
but hesitating on marrying him be-
cause he swOre when he went through
the ice of the pond, is the situation
confronting John Betz by his sweet
heart, Katharine Koenig.
Betz and Miss Koenig live in the
Beaverkill region of Sullivan county
and the weather, turning cold, stiffen
ed up the weak spots on the pond
near their home. Miss Koenig was
the recipient of a pair of skates
Christmas from Betz, and recently
the couple went to the pond to try
them. The young man broke through
the ice, and as he went down Kathar-
Inc heard him say "d-n!' She wore
long scarf, and when John came to
the surface his wet clothes and skates
prevented aim from gaining hold on
firm ice. The cold water benumbe |
him, and he would have drowned but
for the scarf which Katharine threw
to him. and by the aid of which she
pulled him out of danger,

Higher Rents in New York.

In the annual report of the CHARITY
Organization society of the city OF
New York, President De Forest speci.
ties as the most remarkable phenor1e-
non of the last year the persistent
and alarming increase of tenement
rents. This increase, he says, has
been from 20 to 40 per cent in the
smallest and cheapest tenements to
those families who are already finding
the cost of bare shelter an almost I'M
possible burden Among the suggested
remedies are the Fastening of 3 e
building of subways and other means
of transportation. There is little like.
lfhood that this work will proceed
fast enough to greatly affect the
conditions for some years in the
future And the cost OF travelling
daily by these routes to and from
work will itself constitute burden.

CHAPTER II.


All the long way, through straight |
and crooked, broad and narrow light |
and dark streets, Elizabeth was en-
joying in advance the cosiness that |
always met her upon the threshold
of the parental dwelling. Her father
sat at the writing table, lighted by a
small shaded lamp, raising his pale
face with a smile when he heard
Elizabeth's step. He took in his left
hand the pen which had been flying
over the paper all the afternoon, and
with his right drew his returning
daughter to himself to press a kiss
upon her forehead Her mother,
who usually sat beside him, her work
basket at her feet, to have the faint
amplight as near her work as posi-
bic, greeted her with a tender smile
and pointed to Elizabeths slippers,
which she had brought into the warm
room. On the stove some apples
SDuttered and in the dusky comfort
able corner near the stove a TRY tea
machine waited, upon the sofa-table,
Illuminating with the spirit-fame a
regiment of tin soldiers exercised by
Elizabeth's only brother Ernst, a
siX-year-old lad.
Four flights of stairs must Eliza
beth mount to reach the dark, mar
dwelling. Here she speedily took
off her hat, replacing it with a fur
trimmed boys cap that she had been
carrying under her mantle. There
upon she entered the room, where
Ernst bounded to her with a cry of
delight.
But today the dark corner by the
stove was brightly lighted, and the
writing-table dark and deserted. The
father sat upon the sofa, his arm
around the mother; peculiar radi-
ance was upon both faces, and, though
her mother had been weeping, Eliza
beth saw at a glance that the tears
had been tears of joy She stood on
the threshold amazed, and was
funny llcturC enough with the boys
cap at one side of her head and her
wondering looks Roth n,ronte louon
