R|DNER SECURES
DELAY IN SALE
Fourth Postponement in Levy
Involving ex-senator
Fitzherbert.
Especial to the Newark start

SUMMIT. Feb. 25.-For the fourth
time a sheriff's sale of the goods and
chatteis of George S. Ridner, who
lives at 800 Springfield avenue, was
postponed yesterday. An injunction
issued by Supreme Court Justice
Samuel Kalish, in Newark, which was
servey by Lawyer John b. Walsh on
Union County Sheriff William Fl.
Wright, but few minutes before the
sale was to have been started, was
the cause of yesterdays postpone
ment. In November Harry l.. Schwarz,
of Dover obtained judgment in the
Morris County Circuit Court against
Ridner who is a dentist, in the
amount of s53662, with costs amount
ing to $40.3S.
The judgment was docketed in the
Union County Court and Sheriff
Wright later had an appraisal made
of Ridner's household goods. This ap-
praisal fixed the value of the goods
at s199,75. Being allowed $500 exemp-
ton. the levy against Ridner's goods
was released.
Subsequently another levy was
made and a second appraisal made of
the goods, the value this time being
fixed at s1,l9550 by the appraisers.
In February. however, Ridner paid
5000 on account of the Judgment.
Since January q Deputy Sheriff
Henry Harris, of Linden, has been
guarding the household goods In the
Ridner home night and day.
According to Ridner, the judgment
obtained against him was for money
loaned by Schwarz on a note. Ridner
declares that ex-senator F'itzherbert,
of Dover, received the money and
was TO have liquidated the note.

CHAPTER Ill.
The Turn of the Page.

John Valiant stirred and laughed, a
little self-consciously for there had
been drops on his face.
Presently he took check-book from
his pocket and began to figure on the
stub, looking up with wry smile. ITO
come down to brass tacks,' he NUT
tered, when I've settled everything
(thank heaven, / don't owe my tailorD

eight hundred odd dollars, passe mo-
tor and my clothes between me and

Everything else he had disposed Of
everything but the four-footed COM
rade there at his feet. But I'd not

mot a single lick of your friendly
pink tongue; not for a beastly hun
dred thousand"
He withdrew his caressing hand and
looked again at the check-stub. Twen-
ty-eigilt hundred He laughed bleakly
Why he had spent more than that a
month ago on ball at Sherry's! This
morning he had been rich; tonight he
was poori
What could he do? He could not
remember time when he had not had
all that he wanted. He had never bor-
rowed from q. friend or been dunned
by an impoTtunate tradesman. And
he had never tried to earn dollar in
his life; as to current methods of max
ing living, he was as ignorant s.s a
Pueblo Indian.
He rose grimly and dragged his
chair facing the window. The night
was balmy and he looked down across
the darker sea of reefs, barred like a
gigantic checker-board by the shining
lines of streets, to where the flashing
electric signs of the theater district
laid their wide swath of colored ra-
dance. The manifold calls of the
street and the buzz Of trolleys made a
dull tonal background, subdued and
far-away.

could not resist this sincere geniality.

ENERGY FROM A SUGAR DIET
Experiments Have Shown That II Has
Wonderful Effect Upon the
Human Body.

The psychologist who discovered
that your liver and your muscles
manufacture sugar while you sleep
has been supposed by the German
physician who uses sugar dissolved in
water as an excellent surgical dress
ing for all sorts of wounds.
Drs Jacques Pansot and Pierre
Matthew have declared that whe1l ami
mails eat sugar exclusively for long
periods their weight at first decreases,
soon begins to mend and then fall
away again as the diet continues.
DR.. H. Heald OF Tacoma Park, d. C..
disagrees with the laboratory findings
He says sugar is comparable to gaso-
line. AS the latter is the fuel of the
internal combustion engine, so sugar
is the fuel of the human machine

from sugar than from any ether 1000.
