"a Judge of the Wisconsin Court of
appeals offers a solution of the GU
genie marriage license law tangle IN
that state by declaring 1t unconstitu-
tional. First, he holds, it is an un-
reasonable statute in its attempt to
limit the fees of physicians; second.
It is an unreasonable and material
impairment of the'right of persons to
enter into matrimony.
The first conclusion is reached be-
causeit stipulates that cugenic GER

Stlle doctors show that half dozen
tests would be required, each costing
about $40. The sponsors for the law
co6tended that such expensive tests
were not necessary. much cheaper
would do, but as the doc
tors had confessed that even with the
higher priced tests 1t would be i'm
z possible to pronounce an infalliblc
opinion, the cheapening suggestion
seemed an. admission by the laws

not give the matter much thought.
The safe which fell almost at his feet

arrived and he trieG one and found it
strangely perfumed, and, upon further
analysis, found 1t to contain a Java

he became wide awake enough. They
were after him. He began to walk
carefully, to keep in public places as
often as he possibly could.
He was not really afraid of death,
but be did abhor the thought of its

the cigarettes they were all "acci-
dents" he could not have proved any

He never entered an elevator with

Obituary..
(To be continued)

Velma Irene, daughter of Henry and
Clara Swearingen, twas born July %,
1914, departed this life Sept. "a, 1914,
aged months and l day.
This indeed was a brief sojourn.
This little life which was so exceeding
ly brief, has not been in vain. 1t has
taught us many lessons.
Having begun to live here it Is des-
tined to live on through the cycles of
eternity. The tender bud has been
plucked from the earthly flower garden
to bloom in the immortal paradise of
God.
Those little eyes have opened on
fairer scenes than are presented TO our
view. That little heart has begun to
throb already with life immortal. It's
departure brings Heaven nearer and
makes it dearer to this family than
ever before. They have laid up another
treasure there. She has gone to that
beautiful city where sorrow is un
known and where tears never fall.
Tis thus the Heavenly Gardener
Looks down upon his flowers
Sees one more fitting, better
Transplants 1t to His bower.
Why should we loved ones murmur,
She's with her Father dear;
Our tender plant, Wen miss you
But we would not keep you here.
Weep not. her pain is over
Weep not, her sufferings done.
May We rest just as calmly
When our work, like hers, is done.
Till then we yield with gladness
our loved one to Him to keep;
And rejoice in the sweet assurance
He giveth his loved ones sleep
Call not back the dear departed
Anchored safe when the storms are DER
In that Heavenly land we'll meet her
When we meet to part no more.

hours. When he took the stopper out
and poured forth cup it looked oddly
black, discolored. 1t is quite probable
that had there been no series of "ac-
cidents" he would have drunk cup
and died in mortal agony. 1t con-
tanned bichloride of mercury.
Very quietly he set about to make
inquiries. This was really becoming
serious. In the kitchens downstairs
nothing could be learned. The maid
had set the thermos bottle before the
door at 10:30. Norton had opened the
door at 1:3O-three hours after. The
outlook was not the cheerfulest. He
knew perfectly well why all these
things happened" he had interfered
with the plans of the scoundrels who
were making every possible move to
kidnap Florence Hargreave.
One afternoon he paid Florence a
visit. OF course he told her nothing.
They had become secretly engaged
the day after he had rescued her from
the auto bandits. They were secretly
engaged because Florence wanted it

ing. Why should he? He had trou.
bles enough. AS matter of fact,
Norton was afraid of him in the same
sense as boy is afraid of police
man.
But on this day, when the time
came, he accosted the butler and drew
him into the pantry.
Jones, they are after me now"
You? Explain"
Norton briefly recounted the delib.
crate attempts against his life.
You see. I'm not liar enough to
say that I'm not worried. ! am, dev-
ilishly worried. I'm not worth any
ransom. I'm in the way, and they
seem determined to put me out of it. ["

take dozen expert divers to locate
It. And now. atop of all these wor-
ries, the child must fall in love with
the first conner! 1t was heartbreak-
ing. Norton, so far as he had learned,
was cool and brave, honest and reli-
able in pinch; but as the husband
of Stanley Hargreaves daughter, that
was altogether different matter And
he must devise some means of putting
a stop to 1t, but
But he was saved that trouble.
Mongoose and cobra, that was the
game being played; the cunning of
the one against the deadly venom of
the other. II he forced matters he
would only lay himself open to the
strike of the snake. He must have
patience. Gradually they were break
ing the organiza ion, looping off a
branch here and there, but the peace
of the future depended upon getting
a grip on the spine Of the cobra him
self
The trick was simple. The count
ess had news trust her for that. She
exhibited a cablegram, dated at Glib
raltar, in which the British authori-
ties stated definitely that no such a
person as William Orts, aviator, had
arrived at Gibraltar And then, as he
rose, she rose also and gently precip-
itated herself into his arms, just at
the moment Florence appeared in the
doorway.
Very simple, indeed. When wom-
an falls toward a man there Is moth
ing for him to do but extend his arms
to prevent her from falling. Outward
ly, however, to the eye which saw
only the picture and comprehended
not the cause, 1t had all the hallmarks
of an affectionate embrace.
Florence stood perfectly still for a
moment, then turned away.
II beg your pardon" said the count
ess, but a sudden fainting spell seize
me. My heart is a bit weak"
Don't mention it, replied the gal
liant Norton. He was as innocent as
a babe as to what had really taken
place.
Florence went back home. She
wrote a brief note to Norton and in.
closed the ring which she had secret
ly worn attached to a little chain
around her neck.
When Norton came the next day
she refused to see him. 1t was al
over. She never wished to see hin
again.
"He says there has been some cruel
mistake" said Jones.
Il saw him with the countess 10 his
arms. I do not see any cruel mis-
take in that. saw him. Tell him So
And add that never wish to see him
again"
Then she ran swiftly to her room
where she broke down and cried bit
terly and would not be comfsrted by
Susan.
"In heavens name, what has hap
pened?" demanded the frantic lover
what has happened?"
The comedy of the whole affair lay
in the fact that neither of the two
suspected the countess, who consolet
them both.

Eyes, Miss Florence" he answered
promptly. But do not breathe this
to single soul, neither Susan nor
Norton"
"I promise that. But, ah! hasten
the day when he can come to me
without fear"
THAT is my wish also"
you need not call me miss. Why
should you?"
''It might not be wise to have any
one hear me call you thus Familiarity"
he objected gravely.

ton Jim?" she asked with a bit of
banter.
ait is not considered quite the prop
er thing, Miss Florence, to call
young man by his first name unless
you are engaged to marry him, or
grew up with him from childhood"
WELL supposing were engaged to
him." haughtily.
THAT would be very grave affair.
What have you to prove that he may
not wish to marry you for your
money!"
'Why, Jones, you know that
haven't a penny in the world I can
call my own! There is nothing to
prove, except your word, that am
Stanley Hargreave's daughter"
mo, there is nothing to prove that
you are his daughter. But hasn't it
ever occurred to you that there might
be a purpose back of this? Might It
not be Of inestimable value that your
fathers enemies should be lee. in
doubt? Might it not be means Of
holding them on the leash? There is
proof, ample proof, my child; and
when the time comes these will be
shown you. But meantime put all
thought of marrying Mr.. Norton out
of your mind"
That / refuse to do" quietly. II
am at least mistress of my heart;
and no one shall dictate to me whom
shall or shall not marry. l love Mr..
Norton and he loves me, knowing that
may not be an heiress after all. And
some day I shall marry him."
Jones bowed. This seemed to ap-
pear final to him, and nothing more
was to be said
Norton did not return to his rooms
till seven. He found the telephone
call and also note in a handwriting
unfamiliar. He tore off the envelope
and found the contents to be from the
Countess Perigoff.

nave an important news story for you.

Humph! Norton twiddled the note
In his fingers and at lergth rolled it
INTO ball and threw it into the waste
basket. He, too, made mistake; he
should have kept that note. He
dressed, dined, and hurried off to the
apartments OF the countess.

ence and Susan.

Nathan Jacobs, the new owner of the
big Lakewood hotel at Lakewood, was
granted license by Judge Carmichael
at Toms River, last week. He applied
for the license under a new law and sub.
mitted bid of 1901 for it. There were
no other bidders. This hotel has had
many ups and downs. At one time il
was the resort of Richard Croker and
other Tammany men. 1t never has
been success.
1t is reported that ex-Assemblyman
Benjamin H. Crosby, formerly of Tuck
erton, now probation officer at the Rah-
way Reformatory, is likely to go to Okla
homa to take position there in SINH
lar institution. The Oklahoma authori-
ties wrote to Rev. Frank Moore, head OF
the Railway institution for man to
take charge of similar work there, and
he recommended Mr.. Crosby.
Richard Lamb and H. NJ. Eldrige, the
new owners of the Beach Haven house,
at Beach Haven, are having the building
raised and other Improvements made.
A garage is being erected on the build
ing lot adjoining the hotel.
Ever since the Surf City hotel burned
to the ground during the 1914 big biz
zard, the promoters have been busily
making preparations for another They
have purchased from c. H. Cranmer the
16-room Smith house which faces the
ocean and extends along the same street
as the old hotel. An annex will be built
on the adjoining lot and an up to date
grill and bar room installed.
