Elsie Van Trevor had gone to their
bungalow at the seashore and taken
her secretary with her. The little
Welshman was cataloguing the books
in the library alone.
He missed his wife greatly. 1t was
their first separation. Somehow he
felt that Mrs. Van Trevor's sudden
friendship for Leila BODIED i'll for them
both. But Leila had been crazy to go;
there were to be house parties and all
sorts of gayety, and later Evans was
to be invited for a day or two.
Somewhere a bell had been ringing
furiously all the morning. The little
Welshman. wondered where it could
be. He threw up the window and
looked out. Suddenly a violent pain
shot through his head, as If knife
had pierced him. The bell was in his
own head. And the pain was stab
bling without cessation.
He screamed with the agony of It.
He tried to stagger across the room.
collapsed, and moaned upon the floor.
He saw Van Trevor standing over
him, look Of fear in his eyes. Then
through a period Of Inconsistencies
he grew to a dim realization of the
jolting ambulance, the hospital, the
white-capped nurses, and the sicken-
ing stencil of the ether cone.
He opened his eyes to find himself
In bed in the hospital. His head
was swathed in bandages.
you'll do finely now" the nurse
said, and he opened his eyes a second
time to see Van Trevor at his side.
How are you. my dear chap" he
asked "By George, that was touch
and go. but the surgeon says you're
all right now"

Evans weakly.

her." answered the other.
Van Trevor never came again
through the slow days Of conva-
lescence. Evans letters to Leila
were unanswered. Gradually sick
6ning fear began TO come over the lit
tie Welshman, a sense Of some un-
def1nable tragedy. At last, when two
weeks had passed, he was permitted
to leave the hospital. He hurried to
the Van Trevor house. The butler,
who opened the door, stood in his
way.
"Mr. Van Trevor left letter for
you, sir" he said. handing him mis-
sfve.
The little Welshmen opened it. It
stated briefly that the work had come
to an end, and included check for
five hundred dollars.
Evans tore the check to pieces and
turned away from the house in blind
agony and rage.

Van Trevor"
Mrs. Van Trevor proved to be a lit
tie, vivacious brunette. She shook
hands with Evans cordially, and they
sat down to lunch in magnif1cently
furnished room, while a butler served
them.
Evans was conscious Of a painful
diffidence. A gentleman by birth, a
long period of hardship had made him
self-conscious He wondered whether
he was using his knife and fork cor
rectly. The Van Trevors seemed
sticklers for etiquette. In Wales one
met all classes upon a free and easy
basis: here there seemed to be con-
ventionalized ritual, little different,
and puzzling. The Van Trevors drew
him out about his wife. "You must
bring her to see US" said the rich
mans wife, as they parted.

Leila Evans beauty and copper hair
was the sensation OF Mrs. Van Ire
yor's afternoon. The girl had been
married six months. She had run
away from wealthy home In Cardiff
to go to America with the little Welsh
man. Those six months had been OF
unmitigated hardship. Her illusions OF
happiness in the New World were
shattered. She loved her husband.
but she hated the sordid barrenness
of life in furnished lodgings. The visit
to the Van Trevors had opened up q
new vista Of life for her.
She chung to Evans arm as they
left the house together.

every day to act as her secretary.

Evans was overcome by emotion.

were music and dancing, and the
mirth of holiday-makers. Many
couples, strolling along the road,
looked askance, at the seedy little
man, with the bandage about his head,
who walked hurriedly toward the
bungalow at the end of the row.
In the shadow Of pine tree Evans
halted. The bungalow was ablaze
with lights. He heard the voices OF
Van Trevor and his friends, and the
tittering laughter Of his wife. Then
came laugh that made him clutch
at his heart-Leila's.
Then suddenly the little Welshman
seemed to become inspired with a
strong personality that had never been

into the living-room, and stood there
at the door.
He saw a look Of fear in Van Trev-
or's eyes, establishment in the guests,
wonder in Leila's. The little, shabby
man suddenly dominated the situation.
Hugh" exclaimed Leila, leaping
to her feet. "You are i'll! What Is
the matter?'
Il have come to take you home,
DEAR said Evans.
Mrs. Van Trevor advanced with
mincing steps. This is Leila's hus-

HE has been unwell, you know. Mr..
Evans, 1t would really have been more

aCome, DEAR" said Evans, taking his
wife's arm in his. In that moment he
saw all the struggle in the girls soul;
the old love and the new pleasures. It
was hard test for her, beaten by the
storms OF uncertainty.
Leila is certainly not going away
with you,' exclaimed Elsie Van Trev-
or angrily. "This is an outrage!
Leila, dear, we will protect you"
With a swift, passionate gesture
Evans tore the bracelets from Leila's
arms, the pendant from her neck, and
cast them down. And, while they still

Leila clung to her husbands neck In

FreehOIders Ferry Rate Com

The Ferry Rate Committee of the

would not endorse the recent action
of the ferry rate conference at which
time it was agreed to accept a COM
promise arrangement whereby COM

A letter, published in The Evening

gen County Improvement Association,
explains the attitude of the associa-
ton and their reasons for accepting
the compromise, despite their previ-
Gus demand for flat Scent rate.
1t is said that this demand for a

Board accepting the compromise and
may result in the whole affair being

A bitter, and as it appears, wholly
unwarranted, attack on the in
tegrity of the Mosquito Commission
of Bergen County IN it's campaign
against the county's greatest summer
pest, was made by citizen of Cliff
side Park last week.
No evidence was submitted in sup
port of the gentleman's claim; just
general impassioned statement of
the political nature and motive of
the movement, and the assertion OF
the absence OF a worthy purpose or
result.
Upon being informed that an at
tack had been made on it's character,
the commissions chief inspector, Mr.
J. B. Leslie, of Hackensack, took the
pains to send one of the inspectors
Tor the Palisades section to "The

ment as to the actual work performed
The first work of the commission
was begun iii the early summer Of

Freebooter Bender
Speaks On The Three
Cent Ferry Fare

Freebooter Walter Bender was in
terviewed on Thursday last by a
"Palisadian" reporter, in regard to
the diplomatic tension existing be-
tween the Board of Freeholders and
the Eastern Bergen County Improve
ment Association in regard to the
movement for reduction of ferry fares
between Edgewater and New York.
''The Board of Freeholders in 1913
passed an order to compel the Ferry
Company to reduce their fares from
five to three cents between Edgewater
and New York." said the Freebooter.
"The Ferry Company refused to obey
the order; and they have continued
to refuse. The Eastern Bergen Asso-
cations committee are in favor of
accepting the recent compromise of

commuters are allowed to ride by the
month on business days at three and
one half cents ride. | say the COM
mittee; but in reality it is only bare
majority of the committee, that is,
three out of five. The Freeholders
are opposed to the compromise"
Freebooter Bender then went on to
say: 81 think | am right in my stand.

Antique Andirons
Stolen In Palisade
From Bennett Home
Strange Disappearance of Al
most Priceless Pair of An
tiques Taken Following
Repair Work Done
On The Home
After The
Fire

Richard Bennett is bewailing the
theft of pair of very valuable an
tique andirons taken from the fire
place of the big living room of his
home in Dearborn road. He missed
van load of things following the
fire last fall that ate off the roof and
part of the upper story, and greatly
damaged everything in the house by
water. The damage from water was
even greater than that caused by the
flames, and it cost almost $4,000, to
repair the house.
Mr.. Bennett says the antique and
irons were in the house when the car
penters finished the work of restora-
ton. He thinks that they were seen
by some one who understood their
aluc, and Who canae hNck and remnv
ed them in some mysterious manner.
The house was under police sur
veilance at night and the doors and
windows were tried regularly to see
that no one had entered. Efforts are
making to trace the andirons through
detective agency, and liberal re-
ward will be paid for their recovery.
They are worth several hundred
dollars.

George Bender Gives
Bail For Assault

Through the enterprise of Cliffside
Parks Police Department, the young
men responsible for the murderous
attack on August Sbarditti on Adolf
plus avenue last week were rounded
up on Thursday last.
George Bender, of Third street,
Fairview, was brought before Re-
corder Joyce on Thursday and held
in 5000 bail to appear before the
Grand Jury on a charge of assault
with intent to kill.
The police are also looking for
Bender's accomplice, Frank Liptak,
but, as yet unsuccessfully.
The case, as thus far disclosed,
gives evidence of a feud of a bust
ness nature between the principals,
which led to the planning of the night
time assault.
The victim of the assault was able
to appear on Thursday, with his head
bandaged up, and identified the one
assailant, Bender, when brought be-
fore him.
