But Bing Shi Ko was old, and
he had business to attend to,
and he was away from home most
of the day, and Lu Chi was young
and pretty and full of life and
mischief and the same sort of de-
sire that led Eve to pluck the for
hidden fruit.
So it came to pass that while
Bing Shi Ko was away at bust,
ness, Lu Chi spent her hours at
the barred windows of his home,
looking out on the big and won
derful outside world with wistful
eyes and growing hatred of
Blink Shi Ko. j
And, one day, while she thus
was looking for trouble, Kim
Chung, young and handsome
merchant, saw her, and promptly
fell in love with (although he
would not have 1t that Way) and
drew near to the window andE

Lu Chi drew back, her heart in

ENDS DISPUTE
AT KEANSBURG
Fence in Front of Fire
Building Down.

Keansburg, Oct. 22.-The board
fence erected a short time ago by
Charles Carr, of this place, in front
of the proposed fire building, has
been torn down and work on the fire
house has started.
Mr.. Carr, it is said, claimed own
ership to two feet of ground in
front of the lot donated by William
Mcdonald. When the foundation
was started the fence was erected,
cutting off access. Mr.. Carr wanted
the fire house back twenty-five feet,
on a line with other buildings.
The fire company could not do this
because its land was not deep
enough. Mr.. Mcdonald then decided
thirty-five feet more.
Mr.. Carr signed a right of way,
provided the fire house always re-
manned at least twenty-five feet
from the curb line.
The matter was adjusted at a spe-
cial meeting of the fire department
Saturday night.

BURGLARY IS
REPORTED HERE
Parsonage Entered While
Pastor is at Church.

While the Rev. Arthur Lucas,
pastor of the Bethel Methodist Epis-
copal church, Tottenville, was
preaching a special sermon to the
Masonic lodge at the church Sunday
night, some one entered the parson-
age in Amboy avenue, that place,
and stole a gold watch, several rings,
two gold chains and a quantity of
other jewelry, amounting to about
500. The thieves entered by a rear
second story window by climbing up
on a small porch. There was no one
home at the time, the pastor and
family being all at church. When
they returned home the window was
found open and the bureau draws
where jewelry was keut were ran
sacked. Nothing else in the house
was disturbed and it looked as if the
thieves made a hurry exit to get
away. Traces of burned matches
were found about the room. Rev.
Mr.. Lucas reported the robbery to
the police and Detective Lewis Is
working on the case. This robbery is
unlike those that took place last
winter, when more than five places
were entered and only small quanti-
ties of money were taken. On the
same night it has been reported that
some one had entered the house next
to the Wells Memorial church in
Amboy a 4ue, Tottenville, but Mrs.
Abram Fens, who resides on the Sec
ond floor of the dwelling frightened
them away. 1t is said she called to
the man, thinking it was a Mr.. Cal
vert, residing on the second floor, if
it was he was walking in the hall.
This was about s o'clock at night.
The person went out of the front
door.

RUINS

Keyport Rsjoices Over I'M

Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Keyport, Oct. 22:-After several
weeks of hard labor the ruins of the
old armory, which was destroyed by
fire a few years ago, have been level
ed to the foundation and are being
carted away. With the clearing
away of this eyesore to the borough,
as well as a n to the surround
ing properties, a great stride is made
in the direction of identifying Key
port. Situated as the ruins we're, ON
the principal trolley thoroughfare in
the borough and passed by thou
sands of strangers during the year,
it was indeed a matter of much com
ment and discredit to the borough
and citizens In general, with all that
it could not be helped.
Now that a modern, up-to-date
structure will soon rise on it's site
which promises to be a boom of
much Importance not alone to the
locality which will receive the direct
benefit thereof, but to the whole
borough.
The credit for the present condi-
ton Of the property Is due to the
committee of the old Raritan Guard
who have given it their attention and
time and as a reward for their labor
will see the property made valuable
again by the erection of a new struc-
ture for the advancement of the bor-
ough. They will be the direct found
ers of a public library building and
will receive the everlasting good will
of the citizens, who are working to-
gether for the uplifting of the COM
munity in a identifying sense and
intellectually.
