that no glamour of luxury or shadow

Sally B. flinched at the singing

then stood beside him, her hand on his
arm, her voice full of pleading. See

privIna 4 GOOD BARGAIN.

The BARRIERS small son was in the
habit Of playing around his fathers
shop, and he was always keenly in
terested in the patrons. Many a
stray penny found It's way into the
little chubby hand, and sticks of gum
were dropped in quite as though by
accident. Judge Williams drifted into
the shop the ctner afternoon for o
hair cut. The lad recognized the fact
that the Judge was a new patron, and
SO was nor than ordinarily inter,
ested in him. He hung at the foot
Of the chair and looked musingly at
the judges bald head. Then he
walked slowly to the back Of the
chair and surveyed the scanty fringe
Of hair from that point Of vantage.
He could contain himself no longer
and burst out incredulously: "Father,
do-you--get a quarter for cutting
that ?"--Lippincott's.

Youngster Evidently Had His Own
Idea as to the Choice.

My neighbor, writes a correspondent,
has four young sons, whom he and his
wife duly lead to church every Sun
day. Just as the sermon was about
to begin last Sunday one of the boys
was observed to look very uncomfort-
able, and, having explained the nature
of his sufferings, was sent home. His
younger brother, in an urgent whis-
per, demanded of his mother: where's
Tom gomez"
He's gone home"
What for?"
THE mother whispered, low: Hes
got toothache."
And the lad, as he sat up to listen to
the preacher, muttered, in a stage
whisper: Lucky dog'"

Harry Payne Whitney the day his
own and other noted horsemen's
racers were shipped from London on
the Minnehaha, said Of the death of
racing in New York:
"a good many jockeys have been
hard hit. A jockey told me last week
a very sad tale of misfortune. l lis

"'Ah, Joe,' said l, when a mar is
down, few hands are extended to him.

said, but think of the feet"

1t is not only the frivolous whom
the spirit Of childishness is just now
leading astray. Stiffness is the fash

especially affect a kind of childish
shrewdness in talking Of serious sub

habit of romancing, they lose the
sense Of reality, and because they new

CHAPTER XVII.
The Conquest Of the Heart Of sally

The Conquest Of the Heart of Sally 3.
Forty years ago, daring surgeons
did not SO often undertake to better
natures work, make joints where
none had been, remake organs that
had not fulfilled their functions.
Alvin Carter, despite his cheerful
ness, had ever silently rebelle6 against
his crutch. And when the idea was
born to him that he might have his leg
broken and made straight, he never
halted till he found a surgeon willing
to add his skill to Alvin's money and
pluck.
Three years with scarcely a days
vacation had won for him promotion
and the confidence of officers as well
as Of fellow employees. Thus Alvin
had the great eye and sympathy Of the
governor himself behind his brave
venture into unfamiliar realms OF
surgery. When Alvin came through
with two straight legs, the trifing
shortness of n being corrected by q
high heel, he gladly accepted the d.
version of a trip to the Front while
he was learning to walk on two feet.
Fresh from those exciting scenes, he
presented himself at Sally BIS home.
Not for one moment had he faltered in
his determination to win Viola, If she
remained true, and he never doubted
her. Yet now, sitting In the most
beautiful room he had ever seen, per-
turbed by the obsequious buffers i'll
concealed disdain when he had to send
up his name instead of the requested
card-aIl in an instant Viola grew re-
mote, his aspiration to her p%reposter-
GUS. The modest cottage he had
thought out--the plans were in his
pocket waiting her approval-seemed
but a miserable hut beside this mag
niicent palace.
Time for his heart to CONCEAL had
been ample when Sally B. swept into
the room, paused a chilling instant,
and came forward with her most i'm
posing society manner.
why, Mr.. Carter! This is elegant
to see you! Elegant weather, isn't 1t?
When did you come to the Bay? Eie-
CANT time of year TO visit at the Bay,
now, amt it,"
With an astonishing swing of her
sable draperies she seated herself back
to the light, her face dimly outlined,
while the late afternoon sun shone full
upon him.
Il read of the crack. operation the
doctors performed on you, Mr.. Carter.
/ congratulate you on it's bein' o. X.
It's an elegant improvement. Won't
you s%et--sit?'
She did not even look at him, he
thought, Blindly he CROPPED for a
chair, his eyes burning as II she had
slapped them with q hard hand. Had
he but known, Sally BIS keen vision
had instantly noted and approved his
erect manliness. his resolute counte.
nance. Her heart warmed to him. He
belonged to her world, appreciated
her. Yet ambition held the rein. she

morning his father heard him shout

Ardyce interrupted: ooh, no,
Wayne, not that way. 1t is Land

described as he tipped his head side

separated in 1904. The husband, In
January, 1907, began a suit for divorce,
alleging desertion. The papers were
filed through McDermit & McDermit,
of his. city. At this time Du Barry
was conducting the Denville Hotel, at
Denyille, this State.
Through the office of former State
Senator Michael T. Barrett, Mrs. Du
Barry filed an appearance in the suit,
followed by an application for alimony,
and Vice. Chancellor Howell signed an
order on October 20 last, directing Du
Barry to pay his wife $40 a week sepa-
rate maintenance, and to pay her $50
counse fees. When In effort was made
to reach Du Barry at the Denville hotel
1t was discovered that he had disap-
peared.
The printed death notice refers to
Du Barry as a Lieutenant" and Colo
mel s. S. Summer, commander of the
Sixth Cavalry, of which the death no.
tive states Du Barry was a member. de-
clares in a telegram to THE EVE
MING STAR that he knows of no such
person, now or formerly connected with
his regiment.
Mrs. Du Barry, when seen at her
iiOiiSy n East Tiltitti oCiSCLs NNcW
York, today, declared that h was not
responsible for the publication of the
death notice. Mrs. Du Barry further
declared that she never knew he was
connected with the regular army. She
said hat after their marriage they
lived In New York for a time. then
they move to Rowayton. Conn, after
which they moved to Newark. where
the separation is alleged to have taken
place.
81 saw him last three years ago.
added Mrs. Du Barry. Then I heard in
January last that he had gone to
China or Japan. 1 would not be sur
prise to hear that the notice of his
death had beer made public by some
woman who wants to marry him, and
who wants me to believe that he is
dead"
A representative Of Mrs. Du Barry
visited the office of the surrogate in
New York city yesterday, and later
Mrs. Du Barry declared that If she finds
he is really dead she will take steps
to recover his property.

and our separation has caused me
much pain, and if it wasn't for my
physician I'd have v prostration.
"When he came back to me after
being away the first time he told me
everything, and I had implicit faith
in him, and when he left me a second
time 1t was an awful shock.
1.-THE last day he was at home with
me he kissed me and told me to wait
at lunch for him and we'd GO out to-
gether in the afternoon.
I'VE never had an angry word dur
ing our courtship or married life"
Mrs. Ernest Sims says in the COM
plant thai her husband left her
on April 80 last n remained
away until May 16. She says that
when her husbands relatives learned
he was living again with the COM
plainant they renewed their antag-
onism and again, on May 28, induced
her husband to leave her, and that she
has not been able to learn where he Is.
Their home was at 1923 Clifton avenue.
For her mental suffering, the loss Of
reputation in the community and the
expense to which she has unsuccess-
fully been put to find her husband, she
demands the damages specified. She
alleges that since the separation from
her husband she has been compelled to
support herself, and to live properly
has had to return to her fathers home.

NEWARK SWELTERS
IN WARM WAVE
AND HIGH HUMIDITY
Mercury Scars from Early
Morning, While Lack of Breeze
Adds to Suffering.

Newark sweltered under the piercing
rays of the sun today. A continuance
of the warm wave will mean, say
physicians, many heat prostrations.
The temperature at noon was &c de-
grees, with the humidity at S4 per cent,
and every indication of increasing. At
3 o'clock a. m. the bulb showed 68 de-
grees, and at 7 o'clock, when Newark
was about to start another day Of ac-
tivity, it was Sc degrees. In fact, many
felt the effects of the heat in the early
morning as much as later in the day.
The wind direction at noon was
southwest, and the velocity two miles
an hour.
Yesterday the highest temperature
was SO degrees and the lowest IS de-
grees. The highest humidity was 9a
per cent, and the lowest so per cent.
General humidity hung up an average
of Sc per cent. for the day.
Albert Cornell, 81 years OLD, who
lives at the Keystone Lodging House,
in Ward street, was overcome with
the heat at Patten e. Sons factory on
Riverside avenue late today and was
taken to the City Hospital in a serious
condition.

ALLENHURST, Aug. 1.-THE Allen
hurst Comedy Club, the well-known
amateur organization, Is preparing
what Is probably the most pretentious
musical production ever attempted on
the Jersey coast. At the Deal Casino
next Thursday and Friday evenings 1t
will give the Summer Whirr' and will
devote the proceeds to charity.
The smart society set here, after re-
hearsing for two months, have per-
fected what Is a most elaborate musical
comedy. and as the play has been
written by the authors of last years
successful production, "~Jerseyland,"
this seasons effort will doubtless add
much to the clubs reputation.
The play will represent life at a sea-
side resort such as Allenhurst, and will
centre in a large summer hotel. 1t Is
a love story, having to do with an
heiress who falls in love with a
wealthy Westerner and the complica-
lions that arise.
There are seventeen musical num-
bers, all of which have been written by
George d. Clews, of Orange. whose
tuneful melodies are well known along
the coast. This yea he has written a
score that Is very catchy and whistle
able and many of the airs are bound
to become popular. The book Is by
Norton A. Woltors and Norman F.
Carroll, of Newark, and tells a most
interesting story, without bothering
the audience too much with a plot.
The lyrics are by Harry Douty. jr.,
of Philadelphia; Lyndon Stoutenburgh,
