Wisdom and Understanding.

FTERwARD Thomsine wondered

more might a young boy be fond at
leave-talxing with his friend.
She had not played counter to her
part in the incident, but surely she was
such fidelity. Defantly she must con-
Tess to her conscience that she had
done as she had done, because-well,
because it liked her SO to do!

with sorrow, was passing strange.
Indeed. she would have deemed it
rankly impossible, had she not, in the
such crazed impossibilities that she had
come to hold them all of usage.
Surely il was impossible enough that
she should be plodding through the
miry ways TO Oxford, at O'Clock in the
morning, in the convoy Of Roundhead
corporal and squad.
Equally impossible II was. in the gray
of the dawn. when she wound herself

Gate of the town. to the officer of the
watch, brisk young man. who. at the
name Of Musgrove, took a second look
at her, and then bade her into the gate
house.
Presently, as Thomsine sat dropping
In a great chair by the sullen small fire,
sensing little. save that in every bone
of her she ached for WEAKNESS, she
found the brisk young officer beside her.
We'll, mistress" he smiled. II have
dispatched a messenger unto thy kim
dred.'
II thank thee" Thomsine answered.
II am fain indeed to be at home and
rest me-"
The young man opened eyes Of
amusement. Condescendingly, he ac-
knowledged that, had he not been
completely experienced-God help
him, he was not yet one-and- d-twenty-I
he might almost have believed the
girl to be simple and innocent, as
was her seeming.
Quite as a matter of course, Thorn
sine fumbled in her pocket and took
out the packet that she had received
in trust from Won Kerstenbroock, and

Begs Forgiveness
for Suicidal Act

Learning from his physicians that
ne would die as the result of swal-
lowing bichloride Of mercury tablets
with suicidal intent, Timothy Dris-
coll, of Orange, has written to his
parents in ireland requesting them
to forgive him. Driscoll took the poi
son last Monday night. He is in Or
ange Memorial Hospital.
It develops that Driscolls people,
who reside in Cork, Ireland, are
well to do and have been anxious
10 get in touch with him. Driscoll
is well educated, speaking a half
dozen languages.
Thomas Attridge, a business man
of North Centre street, Orange, in
the course of his travels recently
came across some of DriscolPs rela-
tives in Cork. Driscoll's father asked
Mr.. Attridge to tell his son, If he
met him, that he would be welcome
to return home.
Driscoll, who had been boarding at
the National Hotel, lost his position
as bookkeeper in the Edison plant in
West Orange. His inability to secure
employment is supposed to have
prompted his act.

GIRL IDENTIFIES
MAN AS ROBBER
Says Broad Street Jewelry
Thief Also Robbed Her
Father.

Out of a line of twenty prisoners
Second precinct today, Miss Emma
Buob picked George Wilson, the man
caught in a daring attempt to rob
the safe of a Broad street jewelry
store yesterday afternoon. as the
same man who had the day before
entered her fathers place of busi-
ness at 236 Springfield avenue, and in
an unguarded moment opened the
safe and stole $S4.
Two charges of entering and lar
ceny were then made against Wilson,
who says he is a paperhanger and
lives at S43 West Forty second street,
New York.
Proprietors Are Nearby.
The daring that marked the attempt
to rob the store of Mrs. Johanna Self,
at 483 Broad street, was in evidence
in the other theft on Thursday. In
both cases the proprietor was only a
few feet away, unconscious of the
man working at the safe. In the first
instance he had made his escape be-
fore the robbery was discovered, but
his second attempt landed him in the
hands of the police.
Mrs. Self was standing in the door
way of her place at $3.50 yesterday
afternoon when a stranger, now be-
lieved to be a confederate of Will
sons, approached and asked to be
directed to a shoe store. After point
ing one out farther down the street
she resumed a conversation with
Mrs. Aarons, a neighbor. 1t is the
blief of the police that the stran-
gers question was to divert Mrs.
Seffs attention while Wilson sneaked
behind her and into the store.
A few minutes later Mrs. Self
glanced into the store and was start.

$4,000 Worth Wallet.
Searching the prisoner, the police
say they found an empty box that
had contained an $500 pair of dia-
mond earrings. One of the rings was
found later on the floor. A wallet
containing unset diamonds to the
value of $1,000 and a set diamond
brooch were found on the first shelf
in the safe as though they had been
lifted and put back when discovery
was imminent.
The robbery of the Buob store was
similar. Thursday morning the man
now under arrest visited the store,
according to Miss Emma Buob, and
purchased some trif1e. Later, when
Miss Buob was at dinner. he again
entered the store and made another
purchase. AS Mr.. Buob was about to
make change, he was called outside to
sell a go-cart. When he returned his
customer and $s4 were missing.

COLBY TO SPEAK

Rival Moose Candidates Will
Address Same Audience
at Hackensack Tonight.

Everett Colby and Edmund B. Os-
borne, rival candidates for the guber-

sive party, will speak from the same
platform tonight in Oritani Hall,
Hackensack.
These men will in all likelihood
meet on the same platform on two
other occasions from present indica-
tions. Both men have been invited
to speak from the same platform next
Saturday at the great woman's suf-

accept the invitation of the Clinton
Hill Improvement Association to
speak at a meeting at which guberna-
torial candidates have been invited.
The subject Of Mr. Osborne's adj

time, as the Republican party was in

$lOO, 900, 900 GIFT, HOOK
WORM FUND OF JOHN D.

NEW YORK, July 19.-The inter-
national health campaign referred 20
by Ambassador Page in a recent
speech in England is to be conducted
by the Rockefeller foundation. This
was admitted today by Star j. MUIR
ply, who has charge of the charities
OF John ID. Rockefeller. Mr.. Murphy
said that there was no new gift OF
$100,000,000 involved in the campaign
as reported, and explained that AM
bassador Page in referring to that
sum probably had in mind the fact
that Mr.. Rockefeller had donated the
income of $10O,0OO,OOo to the Rookie
feler foundation at the time it was
Incorporated.
The foundation, Mr.. Murphy ex-
planned, planned specifically to make
study of the hook worm disease
throughout the world similar to that
already instituted in the United
States. This would probably be fol-
lowed, he said, by Investigation iznto

SUNDAY CLOSING
PUZZLES BARRIERS
Bosses in Quandary as They
Face Either Strike or
Patronage Loss.

Barber shop owners are in a
quandary today. They do not know
whether to attempt to open their
shops tomorrow or not
If they open up they run the risk
of having all the journeymen taken
out of their parlors. If they stay
closed and some other shop nearby
keeps open, then all their trade will
go to the open shop. That's the tam
gle the bosses are trying to straight
en- out among themselves.
A large number of the bosses are
perfectly willing to close their busi-
ness places on the Sabbath day. pro-
vided that they are assured of having
all their competitors shops closed.
The bosses say: I'VE must keep
open on Sunday If some shops nearby
are going to keep open or else all
our trade will go to them"
The union men say: Keep your
shop open Sunday and on Monday
we will pull every journeyman from
your shop"
The union men are determined that
all barber shops shall be closed on
Sundays, every week, especially
while the Sunday closing ordinance is
before the Common Council.
To enforce their demands a meet
ing of all the journeymen has been
called for tomorrow morning at
1880 o'clock. President John b. Ban
ger will appoint picket squads to do
picket duty in front of every shop
In town and try to discourage pa
irons from entering the shop.
The journeymen say they can keep
every union man, no matter what his
calling may be, from getting a shave
or haircut on Sunday, and the others
Will follow suit, they say.
The roll will be called on Sunday
and committee sent TO the home
of every absent member to see why
he is out. If the committee finds
that the absent journeyman is work
ing, his name will be blacklisted and
he will be brought before the union
in special session next Tuesday for
action.
