a coarse endearment had attempted
to lay hands upon her-at lastl She
had broken away and darted into the
nearest cabin, which happened to be
his own. She had closed the door and
turned the key against him before he
realized what she was about. She

In His Anger He Resorted to Drink
ton, with one bound she had leaped
to the fore front of all the writers
struggling for recognition. Publishers
sought her. Magazines pursued her.
Another book took shape in her mind.
Singularly enough her education
and the erratic bent of her mind had
left her primarily quite unspoiled. She
was the product not merely OF her age,
her environment. her parents, but Of
a long generation of people to whom
her thoughts would have been as abb
horrent as her person was agreeable.
The unconscious Christianity which
surrounds the world and especially
the world of woman kept her pure
and sweet and lovable-these in spite
of, not because of, her perverse and
perverted philosophy. Though she
defed convention in its spirit, she was
naturally subject to 1t in its exercise.
For instance, to her the marriage bond
was. indeed, a bond, the marriage vow
a confession Of weakness--on the part
of the woman, at least-and the mar
riage relation an acknowledgement OF
Intercollegiate on the part OF the
woman. She would have none Of these
things in her life. Yet, as she thought,
she had given her heart to a man
alas. the submission to the eternal
law!-and although their relationship
was sanctioned by nothing but their
affection, it was to her as pure and
as holy thing as if the contract had
been witnessed and blest by thou
sand priests. What was it to him? She
counted without the other sex. Many
other women unfortunately have done
the same.
Not content with the writing Of
books, her intense devotion to hel
cause, coupled with her unhaggins
energy, had found vent upon the lee
ture platform. The curious crowded
to her feet at once, so bold, SO radical
SO beautiful and so innocent. One o

The Raseless Fabric.


The Baseless Fabric.
True philosophy is ascetic. It may
best be practiced under conditions in
which the material is in allegiance. 1t
exalts the spiritual 1t is distinguished
by indifference to environment. There
is nothing so fatal to its profession as
extravaganza. Frugality is to the
philosopher what modesty is to a
woman-the essential thing without
which it and she cease to be.
The atmosphere into which Rather
inc BrentOn was suddenly plunged by
her bOld step was the very antithesis
Of these requirements. IL was I'M
healthy. and like unhealthy airs it
bred disaster. She had been trained
10 independence of conditions, to dis
regard of circumstances, as well as to
disdain Of restraint; but there was
that within her surroundings which,
from her first experience of them, she
felt instinctively to be yitiating, which
tended to deprave, which precluded
the exercise of clear, uninhuenced
mentality Especially in her case was
this true since the luxury with which
she had been surrounded appealed so
slbtly to the preponderant, and il
must be admitted, immortal feminine
in her composition. Sex distinction,
sex difference was the one thing
against which she fought Sex equality
was the supreme good to be desired in
her scheme of right relationships be
tween the individual and the universe
/ While she rebelled against her sex
yet she rejoiced in it. Glad was she
| sometimes on that very account that
to her was given the opportunity to
prove her superiority to the limita

mels of wOmanldnd.
Born of two fanatics on the same

perversion of so much talent and even

Day was Just breaking again when
the woman awoke. Reference to her
watch which she had taken the pre-
caution to wind Just before she re-
tired disclosed the fact that it was
four o'clock in the morning. She had
slept unbrOkenly since II o'clock the
morning before. Her sleep had been a
stupor of utter and complete exhaus-
ton. Added to the tremendous physi-
cal strain Of keeping awake and at
tending to the duty to which she had
enforced herself had been the further
strain of the terrible events on the
night in which she left the yacht, and
the apprehension of pursuit which had
been continually with her. Her first
motion, indeed. was to rise to her feet
and scan the horizon. With relief in
describable her scrutiny discovered
nothing. She was still alone. Neither
the yacht nor any other vessel nor
any smallest speck Of land was sill
houetted against the circling sky line.
She sat in the boat musing a long
time and then woke to the fact that
she was hungry. Again she satisfied
her appetite sparingly from her scanty
and rapidly diminishing store Of food
and drink, and then putting the past
resolutely behind her. hoping and per

FIGHTING THE
LIGHT LEASE
Herbert Il. Ward Argues
Against Lease Before
Chancellor Today

In the Court of Cbancery today
Chief Justice Pennewill heard argu-
ment in the Newark lighting plant
lease case. The case grows out Of the
lease of the water and light plant to
the Newark Light and Electric Com
pany following the passage Of an or
dinance raising the rates Of water and
lights.
Residents Of Newark showed inter-
tst in the case today by their pres
ence In court Those I'm attendance
were. Theodore T. Armstrong, William

Fisher Walter Hilton Lea Elliott,
Elmer Ellison, Joseph Dean, J. wilkins
Cooch, Benjamin Campbell, p. M Sher-

These represented the citizens OF
Newark who oppose the lease and wish

! lease from becoming effective Edwin
/ w. Cooch, l.. Irving Handy, Robert Fl,
] Richards, II. II. Ward, Charles r.
/ Curley. Daniel o. Hastings and George
L. Townsend Jr., are counsel i'm the
case.
The morning session was opened by
| Edwin W. COOch, who reviewed the
| granting of the lease and details there
with. Herbert n. Ward. for the town
said he relied on two grounds in this
case First-That having no charter
there was no authority invested in the
| Council of Newark to make such a
lease.
Second-Because the acts of the
Legislature imposed such duties in
such a way that they amounted to a
practical prohibition because the Coun-
Gil could not delegate its authority
Mr.. Ward contended further that such
a lease could not be made except by
ordinance, and that the parties to the
covenant were not in existence. The
brief submitted by Mr.. Ward covered
case Of the Dover Council and re.
viewed the duty and privilege of thai
/ Council Mr.. Ward argued that the
people Of Newark have the right tC
compel the Council to act so that the
residents shall contract to get theil

The argument will be continued thi;

$4,000 PAID
In WATER RENTS
DelinquentS, Too, are Paying
Up, Water Commissioners
Hear

At meeting Of the Board of Water
Commissioners this morning Registrar
Charles McIntire reported that pay
ment by delinquents were coming in
as a result of the recent notice 10
pay water rents by April l or have the
city water taken from their prop
critics.
The application Of the Delaware
Construction Company for a water
main on Tatnall street, between Eigh-
teenth and Nineteenth street, and the
request for another inch main, at
Third and Grant avenue, were refer
red to the department engineer.
The current fund in bank was re-
ported to be SS,641.47; special fund,
S1,5S255.
Mr.. McIntire reported that from
July 1. $22O.125.5S had been collected
and turned over to City Council with
the exception Of S5.2s4.46, which was
collected in March. This amount was
ordered turned over to the Council.
Department Asks for Money.
The Board is very poor at present.
and needs money for running ex-
penses. The pay roll for this week
has been paid, but there is but little
money left in the treasury. On mo-
tion of Mr.. Poole, the secretary was
instructed to ask City Council for S1O,-
600. Some days ago the Department
asked for $4,000, but received only
$4,000. The collections Of the Water
Department, so far this year. exceed
those of last year by over $1,000.
The quarterly pay roll of 1925; +;
the monthly pay roll of S1,I7O, and
the weekly pay roll of $1,O55.64 were
ordered paid.
An application was received from
Miss X. L. Kyle for a position as clerk
and telephone operator. She was
recommended by Nayor Spruance. Her
application was filed on motion Of Mr..
Poole.
