WOMEN ~ JERSEY VOTED ONCE.
Tn" Chance Granted 70 Them b, the Con-
stitution of 1850

TRENTON. Dec. 2l-Mo.t advocate. Of
woman suffrage in New Jersey ar.
not aware that at ono time women were
allowed to vote in this State.
This right Was given them by the Con-
stitution adopted in i77s and was exer-
cired until lsO7 when il WAS abolished by
an act Of Assembly. Some question
arose a. to the constitu,ionality OF the
act and women voted in various parts
of tn" State until the Constitution OF
isss. which limitedthe sufYrag eto the male
population.
The Constitution Of iI7s contained many
liberal provisions. Before its adoption
only freeholders were allowed to vote
Ihis caused much complaint. especially
Tram soldiers who fought in the Revo-
iutionary war. and when the convention
met to draft the Constitution the follow
ing provision was made:
That al inha bitsn ts Of ,hi. colony Of
full age who wsre worth ftfty pounds procla =
NATION money, clear estate in the ~ me-
Who have resided in the county in which
they claim vote for Twelve months immedi-
ately preceding tho election shall he en-
Titled 20 vote for Representa- IVES IN Council
and Assembly and n l-o for a n other public
Officers tina shall lie elected by the people
OF the colony At ar,-e
Under this provision Al! inhabitants Of
the State. men and women. whites and
negroes OF full age and worth about
500. were allowed to vote and it caused a
great de:l OF confusion. In those DAYS
the English style Of election was followed
and after the polls opened they remained
open from day to day until all the electors
were polled. Sometimes the election
lasted day and sometimes a week In
i7sa at an election the polls were kept
open three or four weeks.
The loose wording Of the Constitution
in allowing all inhabitants- TO vote
created confusion. and diversity Of prac-
tice prevailed in different parts OF the
state. In some parts the women availed
themselves OF the privilege while in
others they were not allowed to vote at
all. The matter went on until 1919
when at an election held for the selection
there WA warm contest between Eliza
bethtown and Newark. women and negroes
were allowed to vote without inquiry
as to their property. The fraudulent vot-
ing was 80 extensive that the Legislature
set aside the election.
In consequence the Legislature Of 1907
passed an act limiting the franchise
70 free white mace citizens. In som.
parts Of the State this law was disregarded
a. unconstitutional and void and women
continued to vote. and a contested cleo
ton occurred in Cumberland county IA
late as 1897 from this cause. Charges II
fraud were frequent and Mr. Condit
stated al meeting Of the Assembly that
the fraudulent vote Of a negress in Hun
ierdon county elected member and
changed the entire complexion Of the leg
'slative body.

CHAPTER xxIII.-continued.

Which was the stronger, his love
for the woman or his hatred for the
man? If he spoke at all, it would be
for her sake naught else. Would the
man understand that, would she?
Whatever happened, he had possessed
her; she had been his for brief hours.
Did he have the strength now to give
her to someone else even though he
were dead? Being dead, would he
know?
The struggle racked and tore him in
his heart. He could come to no de-
cision, at least not then. What he
would do later would depend upon cir
cumstances. One thing he could do
and that was to go and find the man.
Attending to such matters as were
most pressing and taking the precau-
ton to make his will, strange will,
at which his attorney ventured to
demonstrate unavailingly, at last he
started on that journey across the con-
tinent in his private car. He left the
car at Suffolk, Virginia, and with
motor which had been transported
with him he ran up the west side of
the inlet until he came to the manor
house which local guide, picked up
by the way, pointed out to him.

CHAPTER XIV.
United.

OIIICNs
How awful had been those two years
upon that island! They would have
been completely insupportable had it
not been for the forethought and kind
ness of Langford. The books were not
such as she would have chosen, but
they were books, at any rate, and she
knew them by heart. Of the cloth
that he had left, she had fashioned for
herself such simple garments as were
suitable TO her situation, rejoicing that
she was no longer compelled to wear
the rough, coarse, chafng grass tunics
of the past,
The greatest blessing, however, of
all that had been left to her was the
writing paper, the note books and
pencils They had given her occupa.
tion after all other things had failed
her, for she had written down the
story of her life. Not imagining that
they would ever be seen by human
eyes, she had poured her whole soul
out on the pages. Every incident had
been gone over. Not Rousseau him
self had been franker in his Comics
sions," but here was only sweetness
and light. She had restricted her
writing to a certain number Of mo-
ments daily in order to prolong the
occupation as much as possible, and
she had carefully considered every
thing ere she put it down.
Twice daily she had gone to the
heaven-kissing hill high in the center
of the island where she had laborious-
ly builded another pyre for another
beacon. Morning and evening with
unvarying routine she had scanned the
horizon, this time with an excellent
glass that Langford had left her. Not
once had she sighted ship. He never
came; no one ever came. Hope grad
ually died away in her heart.
One evening she climbed wearily to
the top of the hill and listlessly swept
the horizon, the bare, vacant, un-
broken horizon, which she had sur
veyed morning and evening all these
years. She expected nothing, but sud
denly there sprang into the object
glass of the telescope dark blur
which she had never seen before. Her
hand trembled so that she almost
dropped the glass She strove to pick
up that object again and could not do
it in her nervous agitation. Finally
she lay down upon the hill and rested
her arms upon little rise Of ground,
and thus steadying the glass, managed
to find it once more. It could be moth
ing but the smoke of a ship!
She had means of striking light
which Langford had left her. which
methodically and mechanically she al
ways brought with her when she
climbed up the crest Of the hill to seek
for sail. She lifted the matches and
approached the beacon. She remem-
bered how once before she had lighted
that beacon; she remembered how he
had pleaded with her not to do 30,
how in doing it she had brought the
world upon her with such terrible con-
seqIsAGes to her. Should she 90 It

CHAPTER XIV.
A Promise Broken.

It was that same late spring morn
ing when John Charnock sat on the
porch overlooking the pale waters of
Hampton Roads past Newport News
and Old Point Comfort and the blue
waters of the Chesapeake and the
bIuer ocean. beyond. The motor car
was stopped outside the great gate
at the end Of the long avenue of trees
which led to the river road. 1t could
have been driven in, but as he ap-
preached the house more nearly with
his mind still in a state of indecision,
in order further to collect his thoughts
and because he was tired from the
trespass on Charnock more than was
absolutely necessary, Langford de-
cided to walk.
Now the sight of motor car was
not unusual and Charnock glanced at
1t indifferently enough until it stopped
at the gate. He did not recognize
the tall, slender figure which came
slowly up the path by the side
of the drive under the great arch
of trees. Still as the man drew
nearer, he arose and with true
Virginia hospitality, a hospitality he
had easily learned since it was in his
blood, he descended the steps to the
terrace and would have descended far
ther to the roadway but that he sud-
denly recognized the visitor. He
stopped dead still, surprised, amazed.
Langford started, hesitated, threw
back his head and came resolutely on.
He mounted the first flight Of steps
and as he did SO, Charnock turned,
drew back a little to make way for
him and the two men faced each
other upon the terrace.

His brow was dark, his hands

"Why not II" answered Langford
coolly, a bitter smile on his lips.

you have done?"

everything under heaven that man

toward him.
"Stop!" cried Langford "Is your

nothing with which to reproach your
self? ruined her life; yes, I grant
it, but you drove her to suicide. Why
have l not the right to fault you ever
