CHAPTER ~.
The Second Lover Arrives.


On the evening of the day in which
she had tainted in Sir William
Gouldesbrough's study Marjorie Poole
sat alone in the drawing room Of her
mothers house in Curzon street.
1t was a large, handsome place. fur
nished in the Empire style, with mir
rors framed in delicate white
ar~abesques, with much gliding woven
into the pattern. The carpet was a
great purple expanse, covered with
laurel wreaths Of a darker purple.
There was but little furniture in the
big, beautiful place. but it was all airy.
fantastic, and perfect of its kind.
There was a general air of repose, of
size. and comedy proportion in this de-
lightful room. Here an old French
clock clicked merrily, there RI two
or three inlaid cabinets; and upon the
walls were a few copies Of some Of
0CIcdu . uC1l6AIAuI oSCAOo IA sA0 OAN
courtly gardens Of Versailles.
Marjorie wore d long tea-gown, and
she was sitting quite alone In the bril-
liantly-lit room, with a book in her
hand. The. book was in her hand in
deed, but she was not reading it. Her
eyes were fixed upon the opposite wall,
though they say nothing there. Her
thoughts were busy and her face was
pale.
! She had recovered from her swoon
during the afternoon In a minute or
two, and had found her mother fussing
+, round her, and her lover skilful. in do
ing all that was necessary. A short
time afterward she had driven home
with Lady Poole.
What she had heard, the very strain
of hearing and being SO intensely In
terested in it, had taken her strength
away. Then had come the words when
Sir William told her that the very
! thoughts she was thinking at that mo-
ment were being. in some mysterious
way. recorded and known. And she
knew that she had been thinking Of
another man--thinking Of him "a an
engaged girl should think.
But ~ she had returned to con-
seriousness Sir William had told her
kindly and simply that II she had
feared her thoughts. whatever they
might be, were known to him, she need
fear no longer. There was no one,"
he said, observing any record of vi
brations from her dear mind. Do you
think that l should have allowed that,
Marjorie? How could you think Il Of
met"
She had driven home relieved, but
very weary, and feeling how complex
life was, how %irrevocable the mistakes
one made from impulse or lack Of
judgment really were.
Ambition! Yes, it was that that had
brought her to where she was now.
Her heart had never been touched by
any one. She neve thought herself
capable Of = great love for : man.
From Ill her suitors she had chosen
the one who most satisfied her intel.
lectual aspirations. who seemed to her
the only one who could give her the
highest place. and not only in the
meaningless ranks Of society. but in
and among those who are the elect and
! the real leaders Of the world.

Tommy-Why, Mr.. Smith, you didn't
go in the ocean steamer after all, did
you?
Guest-What makes you ask that,
Tommy? had no idea Of going in the
steamer.
Tommy-Well, all the same, mamma
said when papa told her he had asked
you to dinner, why did he DO that, be-
cause she was sure you would be half
seas over.

And now? Well. now she vas vsAs-
ing because Gerald Rathbons vas oGaG
ing to the house.
A letter from him had arrived 1bst
before dinner. She had expected 1t BY
an earlier post, the post by which all
his letters usually came, and she had
been impatient at its non-arrival. But
it had come at last, and she was sit
ting in the drawing o waiting for
him now.
He was on intimate terms with that
house. and anne and went almost az
he would, old Lady Poole liking to
have young people round her, and feel.
ing that, now Marjorie's future was
satisfactorily settled, there was no
need to bar her doors to people she
was fond Of, but who, before the en-
gagement, she would have regarded az
dangerous.
Even as Marjorie was thinking Of
him the butler showed Gerald Rath-
bone into the room.
Marjorie got up and flushed a little
as she saw him.
Mothers very tired she said;
she's not we'll tonight, and 30 she's
gone to bed. Perhaps you'd rather
not stay
He sat down, after shaking hands,
without an answer in words. He
looked at her, and that was his an
swer.
He was a tall young man. as tall a.
Sir William. but more largely built,
with the form and figure not Of the
student, but rather Of the athlete.
His face was clean shaved. frank,
open, and boyishly good looking. But
a pair Of heavy eyebrows hung W
eyes that were alert and bright. rob-
bling the upper part Of his face Of .
too-juvenile suggestion. His head vas
covered with yellow curls, and he had
the walk and movement Of perfect
health and great physical power that
had once led q dyspeptic friend ut tho
Oxford and Cambridge club to remark
Of him: "Rathbone is the sort Of fel.
low who always suggests that he could
eat all the elephants of India and pick
his teeth with the spire Of strasburg
cathedral afterwards"
There was force about him, the
force Of clean, happy youth. health.
and a good brain. 1t was not the con.
centrated force and power OF Sir VIII.
lam. but it was force nevertheless.
And as he came into the Dor Mar.
jorie felt her whole heart go out to
him, leaping towards him in his young
and manly beauty. She knew that
here indeed was tho one man that
would satisfy her life for ever and a
day. He was not famous, he was
clever Without having a great intel
lect. but for some reason or other he
was the man for her. She knew it,
and she feared that he was beginning
to know that she knew 1t.
He was sitting in the chair, when
he turned and looked her straight in
the face.
II have come tonight" he said. Ito
say something very serious-very
serious indeed. I am glad Lady Poole
isn't here, just fer tonight, Marjorie"
i've told you you oughtn't to say
Mari rie," she said.
WELL" he answered, you've call
ed me Gerald for a long time now. and
one good turn deserves another"
He smiled. showing a perfect and
even row Of teeth, a smile so simply
hearty and spontaneous that once
more that furiously-beating heart OF
hers seemed striving to burst its phys
ical bonds and leap to him.
Then he passed his hand through
his hair and his face Immediately be-
came full Of perplexity and doubt.

form of the Freholder appeared. First
he received a bouquet of forty-one
roses. and he had just gathered them
unto his ample bosom when another
member came forward and presented
to him a fine meerschaum pipe. As
soon as the second gift had been
slowed carefully away came a third
in the form Of a diamond stud, so daz-
fling that the Freebooter was quite
overcome by the brilliancy, combined
with his emotions. When Freebooter
Baunach had recovered his breath he
invited "the boys to nam The kind

Furnish Ten Pianos.

The supplies committee of the Board of
Education, last night, ordered seventy-fve
feet of unlined linen fire hose placed in

for bio for the same. Some time ago
when the question of fire hose came up In
the committee a test was ordered, and the
hose was installed in the Lafayette Street
School. and found to be satisfactory.
A request that telephones or speaking
tubes, which for some reason were omitted
In the construction Of the Avon Avenue

Construction and Repairs George w.
Reeves. and the chairman of the COM
mlttee, William r. Tuite, with full power

willing to part with for SIS to the com
mittee, thus saving it SIS. The committee
filed. The secretary was directed to adver-
tise for bids for ten pianos to be used In

CITY HALL CONTROL
COUNCIL COMMITTEE HAS
CUSTODIANSHIP.
Is City Counscrs opinion-commission's
Jurisdiction Ended When Keys
Were Given to Mayor.

City Counsel James r. Nugent, in an
opinion to the public buildings commit
tee of Common Council, last night,
stated that the City Hall was in the
custody of the buildings committee of
Common Council, and not the City
Hall Commission. This was the official
notification, as the committee has
known for the last two weeks tina the
commission had given up the building,
having refused to install a safe in tho
Mayors office or make any changes in
the hall, stating that it was now up to
Common Council committee.
In the communication, covering
four pages of legal paper, the
city counsel recites the history Of the
City Hall from the time it was decided
to erect the building to the present
date. reviews the act creating the COM
mission and enters into detail regard
ing the functions of the commission.
1t is set forth in the opinion that the
functions of the City Hall commissions
ers ceased when the building was conn
pleted and the keys formally turned
over to the city. 1t will be remembered
that the keys were given to the Mayor
by the commissioners on the first of last
January. and the fact that the building
has been occupied by the city officials
and that the Common Council has made
all necessary appropriations for the
care of it is recited in the opinion as
evidence that the commissioners duties
have ceased, at least in so far as the
main building is concerned.

GARBAGE PROBLEM
CITY ENGINEER TELLS OF
ECONOMY PLAN.
Nugent to See If Traction Co. Could
Carry Refuse-sherrerd Speaks
of Advantages.

Tt Is possible that after January Of next
year. when the present ~fve-year garbage
contract with the ]. & B. Meyer Company
will expire, that this city win ~inaugurate
reform in the carting of the refuse that
will save about $4,000 a year to the city.
A plan under consideration is to have the
garbage taken to certain designated points
and carted to the disposal plant on freight
cars of the North Jersey Street Railway
Company, thus doing away with the cart
ing of the refuse through the streets in
wagons. causing dirty streets and unsan-
itary conditions.
As told in the night edition of THE
EVENING STAR. the scheme was pre-
scented to the Board of Works yesterday
afternoon by City Engineer Morris r.
Sherrerd. to be embodied In the specif1ca-
tons under which bids will be solicited.
| The specifications for the new contracts
viii be ready September 10, so as to give
the successful bidder time to arrange a
| plant and get things ready for the hand
ling of the garbage.
There Is some question as to the right of
the traction company to use its road as a
freight carrier, its charter granting the
right of a passenger railway, and Sher-
rerd's suggestion was referred to City
Counsel James K. Nugent TO decide. Inc
| commissioners favor having a provision
inserted In the law allowing the company
to act as a freight carrier for the munich
pality If the city counsel finds that 1t
can not be done under the present laws.
The city engineer suggests that the time
for the carrying of the garbage be be-
tween the hours of midnight and s a. m.
The suggestions cover the location OF a
plant for the disposal Of garbage, provid-
ing tina it shall be outside the city limits
or on the meadows in a location approved
by the board, and. further, provides that
the contractor be given until the first OF
May, 1908, to erect the plant.
It was suggested that the contractor be
obliged to cart clean ashes for the filling
in Of streets and grading whenever so
directed by the board, within the average
hauling distance, and If the haul is longer
than the average, that the contractor be
given extra remune alton, the amount to
be settled by a representative of the board
and the contractor, or, in case of dispute,
by arbitration of a third party picked by
the two principals.
Mr. Sherrerd also advocated the division
OF the city into districts, and that the pa
per be collected In each district at least
once a week, and taken to a station where,
il the trolley cars are to carry 1t, 1t may
be loaded.

WHATWRIGHTWANT
ELECTION AS ALDERMAN
FOR SATISFACTION.
Waves Away First Ward Democratic
Committees Preferred Endorsement
for Assembly.

Determined to show his critics. he says,
that he can be elected Alderman from the
First Ward by the votes of the people in
stead of by court proceedings, Alderman
Joseph a. Wright last night refused in
dorsement from the First Ward Democratic
executive committee for Bonrd OF Works
Commissioner and the Assembly, in order
to again make the run against William U.
Masker, his Republican opponent. The
meeting was held in Brady's Hall in Belle
vile avenue.
The aldermanie Endorsement was given to
the young First Ward representative unan-
imously. He was first rendered the indorse-
ment for the Board of Works. He refused
to allow bis name to be considered for that
honor because OF his youth. The Alderman
was applauded roundly when his name was
mentioned for the Assembly. He refused
that, too, and 1t was not until he had been
given the unanimous Endorsement for Alder
man that be gave his real reason for his
refusals and the acceptance of the indorse-
ment for the aforementioned office.
One reason why I refused your indorse-
ment as Assemblyman,' said Mr.. Wright,
was that I wished, II you desired il, to
keep myself free to represent the First
Ward again in the Common Council. Be-
sides wishing to do my best for the ward,

REMINDERS THAT MONEY
IS COMING TO THEM
commissioners Seem to Be Well "Heeled,n
for They Are Slow in Claiming 1t.
Auditor Annoyed.

Move we adjourn sang out the
commissioners n a lusty chorus, at the
meeting of the finance committee of the
Board of Works yesterday afternoon,
before the regular meeting of tho
board, after City Auditor George For
man a sent word that he was tired
of holding the pay checks of the COM
missioners and wished they would &C.
casionally come for the salary due
them or have the pay abolished. Say
exclaimed Commissioner Thomas II.
Halpin, IT forgot that we get money
for this" and he with Commissioner
Frank J.. Book started for the auditors
office, but were called back by Presi-
dent Arthur r. Denman, who stated
that he was sorry, but that they would
have to get down to business.
The commissioners seemed surprised
to learn that the city owed them
money, and, headed by Commissioner
Halpin, they decided to go to the shore
in a body, but finally decided that they
might as well wait and finish the gar
bage contract discussion. The commits
sioners have occasioned much trouble
in the finance department of the city
by their failure to call for their checks,
and several times when checks were
sent to them they failed to cash them.
so that the five commissioners have
considerable money coming to them.
After the meeting they gathered in a
little knot and arranged a plan by
which they were to spend all the money
last night, and then. with fountain
pens in hand, marched in a body to
the auditors office to sign their checks,
only to find that the Office had closed
several minutes before, and they would
have to wait until today.
Commissioner Halpin tied a red string
around his finger as a reminder to
call at the hall today, and Commits
sioner Book offered to wager with him
that he would forget what the string
was for in an hour. Commissioner Egg
gers made a memorandum and Com
missioner Lambert stuck a match in
his hatband, while President Denman
took off a cuff and put in in his pocket
to help remember that the city auditor
had some money for them.
