and the two heads were soon busily
bent over the desk.
While all this was happening up
town, matters were stirring down
town. The editor-in-chief of The
Planet, belated at a dinner. happened
to come in for a final inspection just
as the night editor finished reading
the first copy of Gormly's communica-

CHAPTER XVII.

Colonel Bill Hamilton Plays His Lone
Hand.
Young Haldane's first duty was to
distribute manifestos to the> newspa.
pers Us far as his copies permitted.
Having discharged his errand. with
the one copy which he had reserved
for himself. he headed for home. hit
ting up tremendous pace as he
raced along the almost deserted
streets.
Before he had left to warn Gormly.
he had in a few hasty words given
his sister an inkling Of what was
about to happen. He knew that she
would be awaiting the result OF his
interview with an anxiety not to be
measured. In a short time. therefore,
he placed the confession in her
hands. with straining eyes and throb.
bling heart the girl devoured the type.
written pages.
Her feelings were singular COM
pound of varying emotions. For one
thing, there was relief that It was no
worse: for another. there was ad-
miration at the boldness and courage
with which the man had grappled with
a desperate situation, the dexterity
and resource with which in perfect
honor and dignity he had extricated
himself from the dilemma in which
the opposition had sought to plunge
him, the magnificent audacity with
which he had faced the crisis and
dominated the interview: lastly. there
was a keen, terrible pang Of Jealousy
and bitterness toward that other wom-
an. 1t was this last emotion that was
self revealing.
Eleanor Haldane knew now that
she loved this man. She realized in
this unveiling of her heart that prob
ablv she had loved him all the time:
that the other feelings and emotions
which he had stirred in her heart and
she had sought to characterize by diff
ferent words were now blended into
passion us great as his own.
She sat quite silently. staring at
the paper. reading the lines over and
over again. thinking her thoughts, un-
til her brother. who had absented HIM
self for q brief space. came back into
the room.
"well," he said. what are you 60
ing to do?"
"Will you take note 10 MIN To-
night?" she asked.
"Not now." was the answer. TITS

and try to get some rest. He will

But this night"
"I don't care what 1t is, you can't

The girl sat down at her desk.

paper toward her. She OWNED what

what wou.. be the best way after all

half curiously.
"He will have enough to do explain,

"You don't think that he"

young Haldane gravely; but it was

lice I'D to his dirty work"

FIRST BIG SNOW.
Heavy Fall December and 4, That
Measured Twelve Inches.

The first real snow storm of the
winter, not counting the measly one
that started things in November,
came across on the night of Deem
Der 3, and continued till nearly noon
the next day. 1t was some snow,
and as for beauty, it had the testi-
mony of all on its side, for there was
never anything seen like it in these
parts. The trees and shrubbery were
so completely covered with the fluffy
crystals till they bent over under the
weight. All of this bending gave a
curving to things that made the face
of nature a very wonderful aspect
Hogarth's lines of beauty might have
had their inception from a snow
storm like this Who knows?
The morning of the snow those fam
Gus ferry walkers, George Frew and
William Hollinger had the time of
their lives, going it knee deep through
the snow, and the latter finally gave
it up and took a car. George, how
ever, braved it out and went pumping
into the ferry house all in"
AS for the night following the snow
storm, it was one of natures revers-
ing wonders. The night was literally
turned into day. T. Weldon Clarke
and The Pal1sadlan' man were out
with cameras making pictures, and as
Mr.. Clarke put it, why, l never made
any moonlight photographs before,
but what | made that night were so
nearly like daylight pictures l felt
ashamed of myself
That was the literal truth. The
pictures were remarkable
The snow was welcome addition
to the landscape, but not an encour-

To Be Staged at the New Amsterdam

With all the opulent splendor of the

LANCER, the owners of this most won
derful piece of theatrical property
have this season given it a produc-
ton which iii magnitude and spectac-
ular grandeur will outdistance any
production ever before seen on the
American stage or in the theatre of
any other country. The magnitude of
the scenic settings is of such a nature
that there are only four theatres in
America with stages large enough to
accommodate the equipment. These
theatres are the New Amsterdam
Theatre in New York, the historic
and the great Auditorium Theatre in
Chicago. Only three of these cities,
however, will have an opportunity of
seeing this new and wonderful prOduc-
ton of "Ben-Hur" New York. Bos-

the Auditorium for so long a time it
will be impossible to take "Ben-Hur"

Bergen County General Hospital.

The movement for the foundation
of a General Hospital for the eastern
section of Bergen County that was
started some months ago was mate
rally advanced at the last meeting
held at the Union League Club,
Hackensack The Constitution and
Bylaws, under which the association
will be conducted, were adopted and
the charter, drawn by Attorney
Archie Hart, of Hackensack, and
signed by all the members present.
In order to give everybody inter
ested in this movement an opportun-
ity to become a Charter Member, the
charter was held at the office of Mr..
Hart for one week, until Saturday.
December 9th About a dozen Pals
adams availed themselves of this OPP
portunity and became charter mem
bers.
In view of the inadequate hospital
facilities now existing, this enterprise
deserves the hearty support of all
classes of citizens.
1t is intended to erect the hospital
building somewhere on the Teaneck
Ridge, near the trolley line running
from Leonia to Hackensack, this 10
cation being considered the most cen
trail for the district TO be covered.
Automobile ambulance service as we'll
as the establishment of dispensaries
in the remote sections, for instance in
the factory district of Edgewater, are
some of the features contemplated in
connection with the enterprise.
The hospital must be founded and
maintained entirely by public sub
scription. 1t will not be a State or
county institution, and no aid can
therefore be expected from this
source The medical profession is
especially interested in the further
ance of this project and all those who
are going to give a helping hand to
this worthy cause may obtain further
information from any one of the local
physicians.
