President Wilson, governor OF NcN

however, is "a thought on the side.
Carnegie pensions are paid out OF
Carnegie's gold Who doesn't know
the source and character OF Carnegie
gold? 1t came as the ripened fruit oil

when children starved, women Wept

their doorsteps. And now comes

Pensions, whatever their kind, pre-

Tho Wilson pension reason, as stated
by himself, is that "a man who goes
into politics bound by the principles
of honor, puts his family and all who
may be depdent upon him for support
at the mercy Of an incalculable turn

justified in seeking to provide against
such a contingency.
Cool, truly, if not convincing.
Doubtless, as Prof, Wilson assures
us, he is in politics bound by princi-

that Wilson assurance and that Wilson
pose of superiority, what have we to

 1ORD BAzELHURST visited his II wife's room later in the night. IN called there by a peremptory
 summons Cecil had been talk ing time by the forelock in anticipa- tion of Shaw's descent in the morning and was inclined to jocundity.
 Cecil, what do you think of Pencil opes attitude toward MT. Shawl? she asked, turning away from the window which looked out over the night in the direction of Shaw's place.
 q didn't know she had an attitude, replied he, trying to focus his wavering gaze upon her. N "She meets him clandestinely and she supports him openly. Isn't that an attitude, or are you too drunk to see it"
 f'My dear, remember you are speak ing aof my sister" he said with fine dignity but little discrimination. Be sides, am not too drunk. I do see it. It's demmed annoying attitude. She's a traitor, un'stand me? A trai-to-tor. intend to speak to her about it."
 "It is better that you should do it. said his wife ''I am afraid I could not control my temper.''
 "Penelope's a disgrace -an absolute disgrace. How many legs did Holder say she'd-she'd brokenw
 saOh, you're disgusting!' cried Lady Evelyn. "Go to bed! I thought could talk to you tonight, but I can't. You scarcely can stand up."
 s'Now, Evelyn, you do me injustice. I'm only holding to this chair to keep 1t from moving round the room. See that? Course c'n stan up!' he cried triumphantly..
 q am utterly disgusted with you. Oh, for man! A man with real blood in his veins, a man who could do some thing besides eat and drink at my cost. pay your debts, clothe you, feed you house your ungrateful sister-and what do I get in return? This!'
 Lord Bazelhurst's eyes. steadied be meath this unexpected assault, his legs stiffened, his shoulders squared them selves in a pitiful attempt at dignity.
 Lady Razelhurst, you -you''-and then he collapsed into the chair, burst ing into maudlin tears. She stood over by the dressing table and looked pitt lessly upon the weak creature whose hiccoughing sobs filled the room. Her color was high, her breathing heavy.
 There came a knock at the door, but she did not respond. Then the door opened quietly and Penelope entered the room, resolutely, fearlessly. Eve lyn turned her eyes upon the intruder and stared for a moment
 Did you knock?" she asked at last
 "Yes. You did not answer"
 "Wasn't that suflcient?"

over and shook him by the shoulder. He sat up and stared at her blankly through his drenched eyes. Then, as if the occas sion called for a supreme ef- fort, he tried to rise ashamed that his sister should have found him in his present condition. Don't get up, Cecil. Wait bit and I'll go to your room with you"
 What have you to say to me, Pene- lope?' demanded Evelyn, a green light in her eyes.
 q can wait. prefer to have Cecil understand" she said bitterly.
 eff it's about our affair with Shaw it won't make any difference whether Cecil understands or not. Has your friend asked you to plead for him? Does he expect me to take him up on your account and have him here?'
 I was testing when said he would come tomorrow" said Penelope, ignor- ing the thrust and hurrying to her sub. 1ect. T couldn't go to sleep tonight if neglected to tell you what think of the outrage this morning. You and Cecil had no right to order Tompkins to shoot at MT. Shaw. He is not a trespasser.- Some one killed his dog to. day. When he pursued the coward a second shor was fired at him. He was wounded. Do you call that fair fight ing? Ambushed, shot from behind a tree. l don't care what you and Cecil think about it. consider it despicabie Thank God, Cecil was not really to blame. It is about the only thing I can say to my brothers credit"
 Lady Bazelhurst was staring at her young sister-in-law with wide eyes. It was the first time in all her petted, vain life that any one had called her to account She was at first too deeply amazed to resent the sharp attack
 Penelope Drake'' was all she could say. Then the fury in her soul began to search for an outlet. ''How dare you? How dare you?''
 T don't mean to hurt you. I am only telling you that your way of treat ing this affair is mistake It can be rectifed You don't want to be law less; you don't understand what a nar- row escape from murder you have had Evelyn, you owe raparation to MT. Shaw. He is''-
 T understand why you take his side. You eheauen and degrade yourself and you bring shame upon your brother and me by your disgraceful affair with this ruff1an. Don't look shocked. You meet him secretly, I know. How much further you have gone with him don't know. 1t is enough that you"-
 Stop! You shall not say such things to me!'

 Without another word or so much as glance at Lady Bazelhurst, Pe- nelope Drake went swiftly from the room. The big hall clock struck the half hour after II. Some one-a wo- n1an+was laughing in the billiard room below. The click of the balls came to her ears like the snapping of angry teeth. She did not hesitate. It was not in her nature The room in which she had found so much delight was now loathsome to her. With nervous fingers she threw the small things she most cherished into a bag--her purse, her jewels, her little treasures. Some how it seemed to her as if she. were hurrying to catch a night train, that was all. With her own strong young arms she dragged the two huge trunks from the closet Half an hour later they were full and locked. Then she looked about with a dry, mirthless smile.

INSPECTION TRIP TO
 CITY WATER PROPERTIES.
Water Commissioners With Guests
 Visit Three Reservoir Sites.

The new board of water / commits sioneers with a party of guests made an Inspection visit to the city water properties on Monday afternoon, vis- iting Fairview, Bog Meadow and Stony Brook reservoirs.
 At Fairview the reservoir was found 19 inches below full pond, the highest 1t has ever been at this time of the year. A drove of trespassing cows was discovered grazing on the west ern watershed.
 At Bog Meadow there was no water bonded. but the two artesian well pipes, dug two years ago through sol i'd rock for about 400 feet were point ed out.
 From Bog meadow the party went in the three autos which conveyed them to the new reservoir site at Stony brook Here 100 men and 15 teams were at work on taking the beating ground out of the basin and covering with clean gravel The gravel is secured in an economical way by digging out the banks along the side and using this wirt for covering, run ming it out on the tramWays. The spillway is finished and some of the dirt that is removed from the basin is being spread below the spillway.
 The trip took three hours, the auto parties comprising Engineer Shepard B. Palmer, Mayor T. c. Murphy, Town CleAE Charles S. Holbrook, Water Commissioners A. A. Beckwith and John Kukla in one machine, Water Commissioners Charles w. Comstock and Joseph F. Williams, John T. Clark, John NJ. Lee, Frank H. Smith in an other machine, and President w. W.
