come from no one knew where. DR..
Carey never volunteered any informa-
ton about, his past life. His appoint
ment to the army, 1t was known, had
been due to civil service and pri-
vate pull In congress. DR.. Carey was
undeniably handsome. He had an
air Of refinement which the major ad-
mitted to himself jealousy. no one
else In the battalion could acquire. DR..
\ Carey had cut wide swath among

chagrin at having to depart therefrom
had been the one consolation the

for coming to Majon. Z

day he had met Rita, who later had
become his wife, Rita was slender,

delicay Of its outlines and expression,
Her father was the descendant of a
family which had acquired the found
alton Of its permanent fortunes by re.
] ceiving and vending the wares Of
smugglers in Colonial days. He had
married favorite cousin.
His thoughts Of Rita alone in Ma
Mia took effect that evening, when he
preached the subject uppermost in his
mind to Captain Manson and DR..
Carey. telling them Of his intention to
write the next day for his wife to
come out into the hill country and
Join the battalion.

Progressive politics in New Jersey
and other Eastern States the govern

Secretary of State Jordan refused
yesterday to accept the red rubber
stamp signature of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Wallace, who is sick in bed.
This brought all State business to a
halt. In this emergency the president
of the Senate. S. S. BoyntPn, was
relied upon. but he refused to act
as he did not believe that the law
empowered him to sign papers. So
the whole matter was referred to the
attorney-g for his opinion.
