were downcast, while the color paint

Down the gravel walk sped Bedight,
toward the main road. Already the
officer had regained his feet and given
the alarm. The mayor heard a call
for help, a hurried explanation, and
then footballs in pursuit Down the
pad he ran toward the shadows OF

If Briggs was there and ready, he
would get away in time. Something
doomed black in the shadows ahead.
1t was the car! Bedight called as
he ran-but Briggs was too surprised
to heed.
Crank the carl" cried the mayor
excitedly, dashing up to the machine.
But the pursuers were upon them
as the bewildered Briggs sprang to
the wheel. The mayor turned and
struck blindly at the sheriff in the
lead, whirled and sprang into the ma
chine. The motor aroused instantly
and shot ahead, leaving the enraged
pursuers powerless in the road

CHAPTER XII.

1t was 10 o'clock on the evening of
the election in Ossian. About the
headquarters of Walter Bedight the
followers of the victorious representa-
tive we're clamoring for their chosen
leader-and among the voters were
innumerable women who had fought
shoulder to shoulder with their
brothers at the ballot box.
Mrs. Holcomb, the president of the
Allied Women's clubs, followed by a
bevy of workers, passed through the
crowd and sent In her card. The door
was opened to admit them.

CHAPTER xi.


After spending a day with a win
some woman reading Lucille, 1t Is
either the hand of Fate or the inten-
tional prank of a witch that sends the
same man canoeing with a decidedly
pretty girl of the same name!
Lucille Walters was a leader at
vassar and popular at Squirrel Inn,
where her personality was predomi-
nant and pleasing. To none but Jackie
vining need she yield the palm of
favor and of attractiveness.
Upon Mayor Bedight Miss Walters
tried all her wilcs. In a sworn COM
pact with the Judge" she sought by
every means in conformity with lady
light alluring to wiring from him some
little slip that would throw light upon
his candestine meetings-but Be-
digit baffled her at every clever
thrust. She came home at night only
to admit her defeat.
"He is charming-and decidedly
adept at fencing" was the verdict
Miss Walters rendered to her
chaperone.
And on the pinnacle of this it hap
pened!
Jackie Vining and Lucille Walters,
star gazing, beheld the rascally Be
digit enter the arbor. A half hour
later the figure of a woman emerged
from the trysting place. For time
the two stood in the arbor entrance.
The arm of the mayor was about her.
Then their lips met in a lingering
caress and the girl glided across the
lawn as on that other night when
Jackie had beheld a like tableau.
Undoubtedly the woman was one of
them-but which one?
Miss Winnings anger and contempt
for men in general and Bedight in
particular ran high.
But" protested Miss Walters, per
haps his intentions are perfectly hon.
orable and possibly right here under
blossomed."
'But-but--" protested the Honor
able Jack, stopping herself just at the
point of confessing what Bedight had
said to her that night on the dock,
The said the girl was doing no
harm-and-"
Don't be silly, Jackie" pricked
Miss Walters. at isn't wrong to kiss
ones sweetheart"
But Jackie was unappeased. She
felt that Bedight was a deceiver, for
try as she would, she could not justi-
fy his words to her with his act at
the arbor. The danger to the girls
under her protection was imminent
The whole affair had been a travesty
at best, and she was unwise to continue
Il longer. But what method of pro.
cedure was best? Jackie thought seri.
ously for an hour. Then she sum.
moned an attendant from the office
and gave him a message. Having done
this she retired.
Mayor Bedight was still up at mid
night when a woman glided down the
hallway and tapped gently at his
door. 1t was opened from within
and the girl closed it behind her.
Walter" she cried, excitedly,
Jackie Vining has sent help to the
sheriff. | just learned it. It's almost
time for him to arrive. You must

CUT DOWN PRISON FEED

Z The pay for feeding prisoners in
the Gloucester county Jail at Wood
bury will be cut to 12 cents per meal
beginning tomorrow.
The county board of freeholders
has started to economic and the
prisoners are to come first. The pub
lie property committee today notified
the Jail warden, Charles Wilson. of
the change.
The rate has been 16 cents per
meal and the warden claims that mas
much as he seldom has twenty pris-
oners in the Jail, he cannot feed them
at the new rate and make living.
He receives no salary for his services.
Wilson's term expires in March. He
said he will continue to feed the
prisoners the same fare as in the past
until his retirement.

Sand Co. Plant.
WATER EXTENSIONS.
Everything Being Done to Make a
Complete Plant for Develop
ment Of Fine Sand.

The Preston Silica Company is erect
ing famous building for their sand
washing plant at East Bridgeton at
the eastern end of Willow street along
the Port Norris railroad.
The main buildings are of corrugated
iron and some 200 feet long and about
90 feet wide. Extending east stward
from this is an ''L'' which is more
than half as large as the main build
ing.
The plant already has a.water pipe
merely temporary extending from the
water main at East Bridgeton which
runs down alongside the Port Norris
railroad track. Pipe is laid along
Willow street from the water main
which supplies water to the Preston
Chromatic printing plant and this new
6 or s inch main will be extended out
Willow street to the Silica plant.
The work of mining the sand has
not begun yet but every thirg g is being
made ready for an early beginning
operations in this line. A number of
men are employed about the plant
every day now that the weather has
become better

THE GOVERNOR IS LUCKY

During Governor Wilson's trip to
Michigan, New Jersey is ruled over
by Republican, Professor John d.
Prince, President of the State Senate,
and instructor in languages in Col
umbia. Last year, during Governor
Wilson's absence from the State, his
pay was docked and turned over to
Senator Ackerman, then Senate Presi-
dent. Mr.. Alderman, however, en-
dorsed the pay checks and turned them
back to Governor Wilson, so the latter
did not lose anything. Now there is
some little speculation as to whether
Senator Prince will follow suit. If
he does, the act might appropriately
be termed collegiate courtesy"

Taft in Address to Poles Tells
Benefits to Country from
Men of Other Lands.

CAMBRIDGE SPRINGS, Pa, Oct 20.
TAFT came to Cambridge
Springs to-day and delivered an address
at the dedication Of the Polish College
here. He spoke in part a. follows:
1--WE are met to-day to dedicate Q COL
lcse founded by and to be conducted
under the auspices of the Polish National
Alliance This expression on the part Of
the Poles Of the United States. Of . de-
sire to perpetuate in this the land Of
their adoption the highest institution Of
learning, presents an interesting phase
OF the settlement Of this country by i'm
migrants from European countries."
The President then sketched at great
length the history of the Polish people
and the record Of their work which he
characterized a. the story Of wonder
full people. He then satd:
I am one of those who believe that
America il greatly better in her present
condition. and will have still greater
advantage In tho future. because of the
ininfusion into our body polite the
sturdy peasantry and the better edu-
Gated classes who have come to US from
the nations of Europe
Assuming that the foundation of our
country and the original people here
were from the islands Of Great Britain
and ireland. and treating the foreign
question as one now OF immigra ton
from Continental Europe. 1 repeat that
l do not share In the fear that our
citizenship is ultimately likely to suffer
by the coming from other continental
countries of Europe for the purpose of
