The British war Office, after careful
experiments, has adopted a new wader
stocking for the use of the troops in
wet or flooded trenches. The waders
are light and strong and are absolute
ly waterproof. They are lined with
wool and are worn on the bare foot in
side the army service boot. During
the experiments the soldiers suffered
no ill effects from long periods Of
immersion of the feet in icy water.

And that final clash promised to make up
for the six uneventful years. 1t came about
like this:
One day Jasper Dunbar and Absalom
Ledworth, the chiefs, met on neutral ground;
which is to say, at a little store down
among the foothills. Ledworth, now dim
of eye, did not recognize his old enemy. He
spoke very cordially:
"Fine mornin', hain't it,"
Jasper Dunbars eyes had not suffered SO
much from the passing of the years. He
stopped in his tracks, shot our a heavy,
bearded jaw, and told Absalom Ledworth
that he was liar. Ledworth saw his mis-
take He shook with rage. He clenched a
gnarled fist and touched his enemy's nose.
"You go home, he jabbered, "and git all
O. yore low-down kind together. III go
home and muster my men. Wen meet in
the fo' part O the day tomorrow, down thar
a half mile below Bucks house, and fight
another Battle O. Bull Run
"Count on mel roared the other. We'll
be thar And we'll turn Blackfern Creek
red with yore nasty, stinkin' coward blood" !"
He stamped away like a mad OK.
Absa1om Ledworth spent for ammunition
all the money he had brought along for the
purchasing of sugar and coffee. Then he
hastened to his home mountain, and the
Ledworths began to make every possible
preparation for third Battle of Bull Run.
EARLY the following morning seventeen

silent, with ready rifles under their arms,

crept toward the creek Old Absalom, with a
jug in his hand, led the way-he fancied he
could see better, and that he was shrewder,
when that old black jug was within easy
reach. The seventeen were very careful.
They did not expose their persons: they
kept always behind tree or a stone.
When they had reached thick group of
big hernlocks which stood some fifty yards
from the stream, they stopped. They
looked across and into the Dunbar domain,
and saw nothing; then they looked toward
a six-year-old boy who stood watching the
dashing waters of the creek. And they
noted that the creek was swollen to twice
its usual size by rains the night before.
"That's Bucks boy said old Absalom
to himself Somehow l feel like I'd like
to see him clost, acause haint no idee I'll
ever have another chanst-'
John Ledworth, standing at his fathers
side, had heard. He leaned out from behind
the big trees as far as he could, and called
down to the lad.
"Hey thar! Come up here!"
The boy turned and looked toward the
group of hemlocks. John Ledworth called
to him again. The boy began to move up
the mountainside wonderingly. The watch
ers saw the sunlight glinting in his hair;
soon they could see that the bridge of his
nose was freckled Old Absalom motioned.
The boy went to him, stopped, and smiled
very nice smile.
"Eid you want o see me, Mister?'
Old Ledworth started His own grand
son didn't know him! He felt queer. He

Jasper Dunbar!7 reproved Sadie's mother.
She was quivering throughout her whole
being. She pointed a forefinger like wea-
pom toward her unreasonable and irate hus-
band. "You old fool, with one foot in the
grave, hain't you got no sense, nohow?
Jasper Dunbar, thar hain't many crimes any
greater'n jest a bein' a fool. Mark my
words, and see if they hain't the truth now.
The fools cawner O Torment is goin' to
be crowded wuss'n any other part And if
you hain't keerful, you're goin' to be set
up on stump as a masterpiece O the Old
Scratch's work I'm a goin' home with
Buck, what l am, and if you don't like it
you can jest help yoreself! So let's go, Buck,
Honey"
Thus did the little cabin on Blackfern
Greek get another occupant. And the
wives of the chiefs shook hands, promising
to forget, that they might together worship
at the shrine of the most wonderful baby in
the world.
SIX years passed The Dunbars and the
- Ledworths had not fired hostile gun
during that time, although they very relig-
iously kept to themselves and refused to
be on friendly terms. The mothers of the
couple on Blackfern Creek, together with
Julie, still lived with and worshiped Robert
E. Lee u S. Grant And the boy was now
all that his babyhood had promised, all
that his adorers had hoped his boyhood
would be-
The feud could not die, of course, nat
ural death. 1t had to have its final clash.

INSPECTOR PROBES
WOODBRIDGE WATER
Report Was That Form of
Fresh Water Sea Weed Had
Formed in Pipes.
Special TO the EVENING NEWS.


woodbridge, May 1S:-Much anx-
lety has been felt by the residents
of Woodbridge and vicinity on ac-
count of the extremely unpleasant
odor and taste which has been most
noticeable about our water supply
for the past two weeks. The fact
that we have had unusually good
and pure water at our command has
made this unpleasant change more
in evidence. Health Inspector J. H.
Concannon notified the Middlesex
Water Company and also was in
communication with the State Board
of Health. A state inspector visited
Woodbridge last week and made an
analysis of the water. His report
was that form of fresh water sea-
weed known as algae was to be
found in the pipes causing the un-
pleasant but harmless odor and
taste. The Middlesex Water Com
pany Immediately took steps by the
use Of chemicals and opening of all
the dead ends to remedy the evil,
with the result that our supply is
practically normal again.
The water supply of South Plain
feld, Metuchen, FOrdS Corner, Sc
warren, Woodbridge and Port Read
ing, the Middlesex Water Company
claims, comes from near South
PIainfield, where there are twelve
artesian wells from $50 to 400 feet
deep and the water is pumped from
them into a stand pipe thirty-five
feet high. The water for Chrome
and Carteret comes from a reservoir
above Milton Lake, back of Railway,
which system was inaugurated sew
eral years after the stand pipe sup
ply which proved to be too hard for
the use of the factories in that sec
tion. The presence of algae in wa
ter pipes is q most common occur
renee, we are assured, but we are
not anxious to follow In line with
some municipalities that have not
been so fortunate in having a clear,
pure and wholesome water supply.
Trusting that this will be the first
and last appearance of algae in the
water pipes OF the Middlesex Water
Company.
