hettx CastIeton.

At half past six she went to the tele-
phone and called for the morning
newspapers. At the same time she
asked that a couple of district messen-
ger boys be sent to her room with the
least possible delay. The hushed
scared voice of the telephone girl
downstairs convinced her that news
of the tragedy was abroad; she could
imagine the girl looking at the head
lines with awed eyes even as she re-
sponded to the call from room 416,
and her shudder as she realized that
it was the wife of the dead man speak
ing.
One of the night clerks, pale and
agitated, came up with the papers.
Without as much as glance at the
headlines, she tossed the papers on
the table Il have sent for two mes
senger boys. 1t is too early to &C
complish much by telephone, l fear.
Will you be SO kind as to telephone at
seven o'clock Or little after to my
apartment?-You will find the number
under Mr.. Wrandall's name. Please
inform the butler or his wife that they
may expect me by ten O'Clock, and
that shall bring friend with me-a
young lady. Kindly have my motor

will see them at my own home at
eleven o'clock"
The clerk, considerably relieved,
took his departure in some haste, and
she was left with the morning papers,
each of which she scanned rapidly
The details, of course, were meager.
There was a double-leaded account of
her visit to the inn and her extraor-
| binary return to the city. Her chief
| interest, however, did not rest in
| these particulars, but in the specula-
tons of the authorities as to the iden'
| tity of the mysterious woman-and
| her whereabouts. There was the like
| lihood that she was not the only one
| who had encountered the girl on the
highway or in the neighborhood of the
inn. So far as she could CLEAN from
the reports, however, no one had seen
| the girl, nor was there the slightest
hint offered as to her identity. The
papers of the previous afternoon had
published lurid accounts of the muir
der, with all of the known details, the
name of the victim at that time still
being a mystery. She remembered

With ruthless hands she dragged gown

cast them over chairs, on the floor,
across the foot of the bed; smart
things from Paris and Vienna; ball
gowns, tea gowns, lingerie, blouses,
hats, gloves and all of the countless
things that a woman of fashion and
means INDUCES herself in when she

Until long after six o'clock she
busted herself over this huge pile of
costly raiment, portions of which she
had worn but once or twice, some not
at all, selecting certain dresses, hats,
stockings, ETC., each of which she laid
carelessly aside; an imposing pile of
many hues, all bright and gay and gilt
tering. In another heap she laid the
somber things of black; a meager as
sortment as compared to the other.
Then she stood back and surveyed
the two heaps with tired eyes, a curl
Gus, almost scornful smile on her
lips. "There!" she said with a sigh
"The black pile is mine, the gay pile
is yours" she went on, turning toward
the sleeping girl. What travesty!'
Then she gathered up the soiled gar
ments her charge had worn and cast
them into the bottom of trunk, which
she locked. Laying out carefully Sc

SAVING Came True.

The discovery that Scottish bank
notes have actually been forged with
in the walls of Peterhead convict
prison recalls an amusing incident.
Unlike the notes of the Bank Of
England (Which are destroyed as soon
as they find their way back to the
bank, notes on Scottish banks are put
in circulation again and again. The
result is that some of these notes get
very dirty, the one-pound notes get
ting particularly grubby and worn
in the course of their travels.

EMMA GOLDMAN
HITS REF ORMERS
Declares at Court Theatre
Meeting Revolutions Alone
Accomplish Things. Z

Championing the cause of revolu"
ton as against reform, Emma Cold
man. this country's leading woman
anarchist, debated with Samuel
Levin. member of the Progressive
county committee, in the Court The
atre yesterday afternoon. About oOd
people were present and mildly APP
plaiIded Miss Goldman and Mr.. Deyin.
Miss Goldman took fling at every
thing bearing the name of reform
She said that Theodore Roosevelt had
never done anything for the people
except to fool them, and that when
her adversary had liNened her to tho
Bull Moose leader she did not feel the
least bit fiattered He, like all re-
formers, talked much and accom-
plished nothing at all. Reform, she
declared, was like a patent medicine5
the more one took the greater the
dyspepsia
Miss Goldman described Thomas
Jefferson as q reVolutionist whose
party today had degenerated. She
sailed into the Republican and Pro-
gressive parties and Socialists, de-
nouneing all of them as reformers, 4
Reform began at the top and onlY&
among those who felt that they muss-
keep the people. 1t promised the good
things in the hereafter while revolu-
ton aimed to supply bread for tho
immediate present The English revo-
luton made possible the American
revolution and the American reVolu-
ton in turn made it possible for men
like her opponent to escape IND
tyranny and oppression of Russia.
Mr.. Levin retorted that revolutions
lists were like the hen that would not
wait until the eggs We're Matched and
broke the shells prematurely. He de-
clared that revolutions had never ac-
complished any permanent good and
cited the uprising of Cromwell and
the French revolutions as examples.
He said that he himself was not in
favor of meek submissiveness, but
believed that if a revolution must
be resorted TO it should arise natural-
" as the process of an evolution
spelling reform.
He held that artificial revolutions
like that conducted by the Industrial
Workers of the World in Paterson
failed naturally While the reforms of
the American Federation of Labor
were nearly always successful, and
Invariably brought about an improved
condition among those for whom they
worked. He said that Emma Gold
man asked the women to start a."
revolution TO overcome those who
would pay them starvation wages,
while reformers agitate for universal
suffrage that women may vote for
their own benefit,
George l.. Rushby presided at the
meeting, which was held under the
auspices of the Free Forum There
had been some trouble obtaining a
permit, Captain Oscar Vogel, of tho
Fourth police precinct, having refused
to allow the meeting to proceed. He
was oVerru1ed by Mayor Haussllnss
however, who directed that a permit
for the meeting should be issued

Declares Lax Attendance
in Schools Increases Taxes

Lax attendance in the public schools
increases your taxes. This is the pur-
port of the second of a series of
aKnow Your County" publications
issued by the public welfare commit
tee. The pamphlet shows that $500
of the failures of promotion in New
ark in the school year just ended ara
caused by poor school attendance
The expense of education is thus in
creased and the burden falls on the
shoulders of taxpayers.

Between
Ourselves

DR.. Camden M. Cobern, OF Al
leghany College, advocates a tax
on bachelors. He claims that
every single man over twenty
five years of age should be com
PEELED TO pay a government tax
sufficient TO support wife. IN
fortunately, though, the good doc
tor does not state Just what sort
of a wife his proposed tax is
supposed to support.
Talk about filling out an in
come tax blank. Zowie! A bach
elor's tax blank will make the
late lamented income tax sched-
ule look like a child's A B c
book.
There is no question, however,
about the desirability of marry
ing. Every man should marry
BETWEEN the ages of twenty
five and thirty-NOT BEFORE.
There is a time-honored theory
that two can live more cheaply
than one. That depends EN-
TlRELY upon how much lone"
is accustomed to spending. The
fact remains that marriage, if
iudiciously entered into, is
paving investment.
Just wait, boys, until DR.. Co
bern's measure goes through
and watch the rush for cover

Employees Put Out Fire in

Fire started in the basement OF

We're aware that there was a fire.
Employees in the crocltery depart

Several of the men employees duick-

it with chemicals. The fire started
from an unknown cause among rub
bish on the Wilbur alley side of the
engine room. Rudolph Goerlse, presi-
dent of the firm, said no damage re-
suited. He said he was on the fourth
floor when word about the fire came
to him. Before he could investigate,
he said, the fire was out.
