"Of course, of counsel" cried the
general hastily. for these were points

Continued from Saturday,

There was a pause. The general
could not bring himself to speak OF
Elizabeth. and North lacked the cour-
age to ask concerning her
"I heard through one of my men
Of your arrest He brought word OF
II TO the farm" the farmer said at
length
Miss Herbert knows-of course

"Yes. North; yes, she knows" her
father replied "She knows and she

He saw North's face light up with a
sudden look of JOY.
"She urged you to Gomez repeated
North.

"She has told you?" asked North.
The older man nodded.
"Yes. she's told me-" he said briefly.

continued. She must forget what was
said that night. and I. too, will en-

nassed a shaking hand before his
face.

North as he took the letter

moment all else was lost in his feel

moss. Twice he read the letter be-
fore he could bring himself TO re-
place it in its envelope. As he did

fixed on him. For n moment he
hesitated, then he said with the
frankness that was habitual to him:

that letter means to me. II is brave
and steadfast-just as she is; no, you
were right, ! can't decide WON'T"
II wouldn't" said the general.
There was n pause and then he add

''Oh, say, Marsh, | want to see

Instantly I.angham paused, turning

Eyes, I have some letters to an

pace.
Gilmore kept his place at the law

silence between them, and then Gil
more said:
"You got away from McBride's in
hurry Saturday; why didn't you
wait and see the flnish?"
Langham made no answer to this.
and Gilmore, after another brief
silence, turned on him with an unex-
pected question:
"How would you like to be in
North's shoes. Marsh" AS he spoke.

WASHINGTON, MAR. Il.
Spring Lake. \. J., will be the sum-
n1er capital of the United States for
the next four years.
President Wilson and his family
will remain at the White House until
the end Of the special session of Con-
gress. in all probability, which makes
the matter of a summer vacation very
uncertain. It is expected, however,
that the tariff question will close
some time early in the summer. and
the President hopes to spend at least
a part of the hot season at the New
Jersey resort.
Not only does the President expect
TO summer in his own State, but he
expects, in keeping with the promise
he has made on several occasions to
remain in very close touch with New
Jersey politics, and he will probably
show his good faith and intentions in
this respect by taking an active part
in the gubernatorial and legislative
campaigns next fall.
Just what part the President will
take in the primary campaign is
rather uncertain, and depends largely
upon the extent to which the Legis-
lature carries out platfrom pledges
before it adjourns. The President re-
CARDS the Democratic pledge of last
fall for the calling of a State consti-
tutional convention as being as bind
ing and important as any other
pledge made, and if this promise is
l, -, tata he
primary campaign next fall and ask
for the Reputation of Democrats who
were responsible for the failure OF
this legislation.
Although it was not a part of the
party platform, the President is also
anxious that the Legislature shall
pass the law giving a second choice
vote in primaries. In view of the
fact that there will be three or more
candidates for governor in the Demo-
cratic primaries, the importance OF
the second choice, in order that the
nominee may be the choice of a ma
jority of the voters, and not a
minority selection, has become not
only a matter of right principle, but
of party necessity.
While the President has as yet not
committed himself to any candidate
for the governorship, or made any
promise Of support to anybody, it is
known that he is anxious for the
nomination of a progressive for the
office. Although a majority of the
Democratic leaders who are looked
upon in New Jersey as Wilson
Democrats have openly announced
themselves for Wittpenn. the Presi-
dent has made no such announce
ment, and entertains perfectly
friendly feelings for both the Jersey
City mayor and Governor Fielder.
Mrs. Wilson has won the hearts of
women in the congressional set in
Washington society by accepting
honorary membership in the Con-
gressional Club. This organization,
which was formed few years ago
Is open for membership to only the
wives and other women members OF
the families of senator's and repre-
sentatives. 1t has neat and COM

tainments of the season.
II is probable that the President
who IS much interested in the inves-
flgation of the relation of wages NJ
working women to vice and immor-
atty. will use his efforts to have A
meeting in Washington this summer
of the governors of all the States
with a view to encouraging uniform
legislation in the States for mini

and working conditions among women
employed in stores, factories and
mills.
Miss Jessie Wilson. the Presidents
eldest daughter is much interested
in matters affecting working women
and is to deliver an address on the
subject of wages for working girls
at a meeting of the Y. w. c. A. In
Richmond next month.
Although the President has not
taken any stand on the question Of
woman suffrage, the suffragists have
great hope of gaining him as a SUP

gressiyes express themselves as per-

and confident that they are in power
in the Senate the older statesmen are
quite happy at having captured prac-
tically all Of the big plums.
The selection of william Hughes
the new senator from New Jersey, as
a member Of the committee on
finance, gives him a voice in the
| shaping of the new tariff revision
laws. Hughes has had experience
| with tariff legislation as a member
of the House committee on ways and
means. The craftsmanship of thu
finance committee is the position
which gave Aldrich his great power
in the old Senate, and membership
on that committee carries with it, at
this time, more importa than at
taches to any oher committee as
signment in the Senate.
In addition to being a member Of
the committee on census Senator
