I've seldom listened to more enter

His voice took on plaintive ac'

comprising their plight.
"The rest of your adventures arc

Against the western horizon long
low.lying strip Of sand dunes rested
like a bar OF purple cloud between the
crimson afterglow OF sunset in the
sky and the ensanguined sea that mir

The wind had gone down with tho

be seen moving about her decks; and
as It grew still more dark she lowered

nounced firmly. Make that fisher.

case. You don't mind parting with
the dory in good cause-if l pay for

Take 1t for nothing" Barcus
grumbled. Cheap at the price!"
He took Alan's place. watching him
with a sardonic eye as he drew the
tender in under the leeward quarter,
made it fast, and reopened the com.
panfonway.
AS the girl came on deck with
out other invitation, in a sullen rage
that only heightened her wonderful
loneliness, Alan noted that her first
look was for him, OF uptcmpered ma
lightly; her second, for Barcus, with
curling lip; her third. astern, with
q glimmer of satisfaction as she rec.
ognized how well the fisherman had
drawn up on the Seaventure.
Friends OF yours, infer?" Alan
inquired civilly.
Judith nodded.
"Then it would save us some trouble
yourself included-if you'll be good
enough to step into the dory without q
struggle"
Without a word, Judith stepped to
the rail and, as Barcus luffed, swung
herself oversize into the dory.
Immediately Alan cast off. and as
the little boat sheered off, Barcus.
with a sigh of relief, brought the Sea
venture once more back upon her
course.
For some few minutes there was 81.
lence between the two men, while the
tender dropped swiftly astern. the
woman plying brisk pair OF oars.
Then, suddenly elevating his nose.
Barcus smiled audibly. Here" he
said sharply, relieve me for a min

and have a look at that motor"
In the time that he remained invis-
ible between decks the fisherman
huff d, picked up the dory and its
occupant, and came round again in
open chase of the Seaventure.
When Barcus reappcared it was
with grave face.

Nothing much-only your playful

Just find a mirror and kiss yourself

COMMUTERS WILL
VISIT GOVERNOR
Delegation viii Ask Him Again
to Take Action on Fare
Increase.

CAMDEN. Nov. 29.-Commuters
will present another appeal to Gov
ernor Fielder tomorrow to do some
thing to offset the proposed increase
in passenger rates on the railroads OF
this State.
The action of the New Jersey Public
Service Commission in suspending the
proposed increases as they apply to
this State until March 10 has stimu-
lated interest in the fight in this State.
Plans are being made to form CEN
trail organization of commuters, as
has been done in New York, and 1t
is said a meeting may he called in
this city or some other central point
early next week to complete organiza-
ton.
William Carey Marshall, attorney
for the South Jersey Commuters AS
sociation, although he expressed much
satisfaction with the action of the
New Jersey commission, said II would
be of little real benefit TO the COM
,nllters. for the reason that 1t affected
only intrastate fares. There are only
two Communication tickets now sold TO
Camden. These are the monthly ticket
and the family or fifty-trip ticket.
The 100-trip ticket that Is so greatly
desired Is sold only to Philadelphia,
although the commission ordered the
railroads two years ago to sell all
stvIes Of Communication tickets to cam
lien. If the commission can enforce
that order, the 100-trip ticket can be
purchased to Camden pending final
action.

Bryan to Leave Cabinet
March 4, SAYS Report;
firing of Routine Work

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.--In a
usually authentic Democratic source
1t is declared that William Jennings
Bryan will retire from the cabinet on
or about March next. No sugges-
ton of schism with President Will
son communicates the report and the
initiative for this change in the cabi-
net is said rather to lie with Mr..
Bryan than with the President.
Mr.. Bryan Is described as desiring
relief from the wearing routine of ex-
ecutive duties which have become
vastly magnified in the state depart
ment by the European war. The sug-
gestion Is that Mr.. Bryan will leave
the cabinet to "gird up the loins of
Democracy for the battle of 1916, a
task to which Mr.. Bryan referred in
the last issue of The Commoner.
The function of the secretary of
state in the last two months has be-
come less the construction of policies
and more the careful administration
of dull and involved routine, such as
legal tangles raised by ship seizures,
export embargos and detention of car
goes. 1t Is well known that Mr..
Bryan had no liking for such MIMI.
tiae and the President IS said also to
realize that a less gifted but more
technically trained mind might at this
time fit more snugly in the portfolio
of foreign affairs.
