Claiborne turned to the tablA. with
the envelope. 1t was not sealed. and
he took out the plain sheet of note
paper on which was written:
CABLEGRAM.

Not later than Friday

Claiborne read and reread these eight
words; then he spoke bluntly to Oscar
Where did you get this?"
"From the hat of the sheep stealer
up yonder."
"Who is he and where did he get it?"
81 don't know. sir He was Of Ser

Oscar grinned.
IF l could read it-yes?-I might
know, but if Austria is in the paper.
then it is mischief, and maybe it would
be murder. Who knOws?"
Claiborne looked frownlngly from the
paper to Oscars tranquil eyes.

again to the paper.
"Where is NJ. Chauvenet-have you

smoothed her gloves with provoking
GOODNESS.
Dick sent Oscar to the far end Of the !
library with a gesture and held up the
for Shirley to read.

when she nodded her head in sign that

COURT RESUMES
BUSINESS TO-DAY.

The Yudelowitz case against the
Central railroad was resumed this
morning In Court before Judge Endi.
cott.
Mr.. Yudelowitz. the plaintiff, was
put on the stand. He said he was 81
years old and had been in this country
% years; had resided In Norma II
years; was on his wav home on the
evening of January 8. 1904; it was
very dark; he was in market wagon.
with the curtains down. AS he ap-
preached the crossing at Norma. he
looked on both sides of his wagon for
the train. not knowing whether the
train had passed or not. He had pre-
viously stopped his horse md listened,
but heard no approaching train. He
heard no whistle nor bell. as no
whistle was blown and no bell was
runR by the train. AS the train ap-
preached the light from the engine
shone down the track, to which he
was very close. and he quickly turned
his horse to, the left. The collision
came and he knew nothing more until
he found himseH sitting In chair in

ward laid up at his homa.f for three
weeks; he was never Ill before and he
has never been we'll since the accident.
h. Byron Lore. Justice of the Peace,
was called next to the witness stand,
to describe the angle of approach of
Lands avenue. with the railroad.
With this the plaintiffs case rested.
Mr.. Bacon for the defence asked for
a non-suit On the ground. first, that
the accident occurred In Salem county,
and IL had not been shown that the
plaintiff was resident of this county.
and secondly, that oontrIbutory negli-
Rence had been shown ON the part of
the plaintiff. He proceeded to argue
the motion. showing in what this neg
ligence consisted, taking the plaintiff's q
witnesses and the plaintiffs own testi
mony for ground OF argument.
Inc motion was strongly resisted by
Judge Wesoott. who showed that the
same motion. made in the former
trial. had been denied and that the
pleading had been amended on order
OF Judge Trenchard.
Judge Endicott said that by the
amended pleading. only the contribu.
tory negligence could be considered.
Judge wsscots argued in opposition
TO that feature OF the motion very
fully and said 1t was question fof
the jury.
The motion was denied and the de-.
fence was opened by Mr.. Bacon.

MALAGA ROAD
AGAIN ASKED FOR,

At the meeting of the Board OF
Freeholders yesterday afternoon, the
proposition from Lands township to
have the Board improve Malaga road
with the aid of the State. was again
urged.
For Lands township Judge R. P.
Tuller was present. He was accom-
panied by Secretary of the Tax Board
Howard M. Dolby, of Lands town.
ship.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the Board bv the presenta-
tion of a resolution by Daniel Edison,
the member from Laudis township.
His resolution directed that the Pub
lie Road Committee of the Board ad.
vertise for bids for the construction of
the section OF the Malaga road as de-
soribed In the resolution of the Board
approved May 9th, 1907. The bids to
be opened al COURT House not later
than at the meeting of the Board In
March.
Judge Tuller briefly addressed the
Board upon the question and explained
the previous action of the Board in
entering into an agreement with Lam
dis township to build the road. He
urged the Boards favorable considsIa.
tion Of the project at this time.
Fred F. Smith. of this city, repre-.
senting the Austomobile Association
and as citizen, spoke for the i'm
provement of the road. He realized,
he said. that Cumberland county could
not be expected to 20 into road build
ing extensively. but ne urged that the
suggested Improvement was highly
important and would give Cumber-
land county access to good State roads
throughous the State.
Mr.. Reeves opposed the passage of
the resolution. He did not think that
the county was yet ready to build this
road and he felt that it was a needless
expense to advertise again for bids.

OF the Edison resolution, the motion
was lost as folloW:

S27.55 to Get into St. Louis Society.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Just anybody cannot get into the
best society. Among other things,
measure Of opulenee is required. Our
exclusive circles have no use for the
impecunious. As the familiar folk
song has it, "Ef 70 amt got no mon
ey, well, yo' needn' come round"
While the amount cannot be fixed
arbitrarily in all cases, nevertheless
the Post-Dispatch has discovered the
exact and irreducible standard of
wealth demanded of the would-be en-
trant to the politest circle Of St.
Louis. That is represented in the
grand ball of the Yelled Prophet. and,
besides an invitation, one must be the
possessor Of $27.55 to get there en-
regle, or according to Hoyle. In no
event will less than $27.55 fill the
bill-and even this wealth does not
enable the possessor to eat in public
after the party.
Twenty-seven dollars and fifty-five
cents may look like an exacting and
difficult standard, but as defining the
most exclusive limitations Of pure
ly social sphere perhaps it ought to
be exacting and difficult. 1t might be
said that man who has not $27.55 TO
his rame ought to be thinking about
something else than getting into So
ciety.
