ECONOMY BOARD TO
RESUME ACTIVITIES
Senator Edge, Back from Eu-

Investigations.

TRENTON, Sept. 16.-Renewed ac-
tivity upon the part of the Economy
and Efficiency Commission Is expect
ed within the near future. State
Senator Walter q. Edge of Atlantic
City, who is the head of the commits
sion, has returned from abroad, and
was at the State House here yester
day.
While here the senator called upon
Governor Fielder Discussing the
future work of the commission, he
said that he intended going to Jersey
City for a conference with Samuel
Ludlow, jr., vice-president of the
Economy and Efficiency Commission.
Eenator Edge said that Mr.. Ludlow
had been in charge of the affairs of
the work during his absence, and his
intended conference with the latter
was for the purpose of going over
the plans of the commission. As to
just what course that body will pur-
sue and what its future undertakings
will be the Atlantic senator said he
would be unable to say until after he
had talked with Mr.. Ludlow. 1t is
thought the senator's visit to the

he patted her hand instead and
walked down the graveled path to the

1t was difficult work for Florence
| to play at friendship. She was like
| her father she did not bestow it on
everyone. She had given her friend
| ship to the Russian, the first real big
friendship in her life. and she had
been roughly disillusloned. But If the
| countess could act so could she; and
! of the two her acting was the most
| consummate. She could smile and
| laugh and Jest. all the while her heart
was burning with wrath.
One day, a week or so after her
meeting with Norton in the summer
| house, Olga arrived beautifully
gowned, handsome as ever. There
was not the least touch of the adven-
| turess in her makeup. Florence had
| just received some mail, and she had
dropped the letters on the library
table to greet the countess. She had
opened them, but had not yet looked
at their contents.
They were chatting pleasantly
about inconsequent things, when the
maid came in and asked Florence to
| come to Miss Susan's room for a mo-
ment. Florence excused herself Won
dering what Susan could want. She
forgot the mail
AS soon as she was gone the coun-
tess, certain that Jones was not Turk
ing about, picked up the letters and
calmly examined their contents;
and among them she found this re-
markable document: Dear daUeh-
ter / have never seen: / must turn
the treasure over to you. Meet me at
in the summer house. Tell no one
as my life is nj danger. Your low
ing father
The countess could have laughed
aloud : She saw this man Paroefs
hand; and here was the chance 20
hefool and humiliate him and send
him off packing to his cold and mis-
cradle country. She had made up
once as Florence, and she could easily
do so again. The only thing that
troubled her was the fact that she
did not know whether Florence haa
read the letter or not. Thus, she did
not dare destroy it. She first thought
of changing the clock then she con-
oluded to drop the letter exactly
where she had found it and trust to
luck
When Florence returned she ex-
planned that her absence had been
due to some trihlng household affair.
