Judgment a good deal.
Poor little Elise watched drearily
through her employers innumerable
love affairs. Ladies. redolent of fine
perfumes and rustling silken skirts
swept into his Office; flowers adorned
his desk. Once there wasA fight, and
Robert trounced his rival while Elise
looked on aghast, her heart CULVER
ing until she saw Roberts fist strike
the aggressor to the floor Then she
ran to him and looked into his face
so eagerly that Robert forgot his an
ger and smiled back at her and took
her out to lunch. That was q gala
occasion, but Elise was forgotten
through long, dreary weeks while
discreditable scandal pursued it's I'M
even way through the columns of the
newspapers.
And how she chung to her promise
to Joe, and looked for the day when
she could tell Robert that she had
redeemed it. She tried in innumer-
able ways to steady the big man.
There was bottle of bromo settler
always tactful1y placed at his desk
when he was late in the morning, and
Robert always accepted it in silence.
He must have known where it came
from, but nothing was ever said.
Then came the panic that followed
the boom Robert was by this time
millionaire several times over. His
deals were the talk of the street. One
thing was never said among all the
charges made against him.. 1t was
never alleged that Robert Joyce went
back on an agreement. But others
were less scrupulous. The collapse
of the big Western pool was caused
by treacherous partners, who sneak
ed away from the compact, leaving
Joyce to shoulder the burden. Rich
as he war, it was more than he could
carry.
Those were wild days at the Office.

that could be procured was obtained
to help the big man fight his grim
battle against those who were forcing
him to the wall. Once Elise was in
trusted with the secret mission of
selling Joyce's Rubens. The har-
assed man dared not let his creditors
know that he was at his wits end.
For the first time the girl went to the
big house to carry through the deal.
She saw that it was nearly bare. Pic
lures, silver and costly gall had
gone; and still, like wolf at bay,
Joyce fought for his respite.
: For three weeks the battle went on,
with alternating hope and despair. At
last, Robert Joyce, grown gray and
old, found himself done for. He acted
with singular quietness in those days.
The fiightiness had all gone out of
him. He was the reed and Elise the
oak.
He called her to him. Miss Mar

he stopped her sternly and asked her

AS she was passing out she heard
something snap behind her. She
rushed back. Robert Joycestill sat
at his desk, and he was dropping a
cartridge into revolver.
In an instant she was at his side.
She snatched the weapon from his
hand and flung it upon the floor. And,
kneeling down, she buried her head
in his coat and sobbed heartbrokenly.
Joyce looked at her in surprise.
His hand stroked her dark hair.

house property in the northwestern
part of the city as q park site. He
believed that vegetation would grow
better there than 1t would along Am
boy avenue and upper Smith street.
He believed that smoke and fumes
from factory killed trees and other
growth on the former water works
property and along Amboy avenue.
In expressing opposition to acquir-
ing park property at this time. Mr..
Wilson said that the city should
guard itself against becoming prop
erty poor. He pointed to the acqui-
sitions of property the past year and
told of the city owning land in almost
every corner of its territory. Mr..
Wilson said he could not see need
for public park at this particular
time. He pointed to the open coun-
try in the western, northwestern
and northern parts, and claimed that
congestion was hardly sufficient to
warrant the necessity of park now.
Regarding the future, Mr.. Wilson
pointed to the several tracts of land,
which the city has in hand. These
Included two slices of valuable water
front property. the former water
works site, the aims house farm and
the old reservoir site in the extreme
northwesterly part.
In the opinion of Mr.. Wilson the
establishment of a municipal electric
light plant here should come before
parks. Then too, he maintained.
there were street improvements and
other things as necessary which were
more important than parks just now.
He declared that the city had pro-
Jects amounting to approximately
100000 under way and he contend
ed there were not available funds for
park establishment at this time.

That this city should have public
parks, but not until some projects
now under way had first been carried
through, was the contention express
ed by Aldermen F. William Hilker
and William G. Wilson, the two Re-
publican members of the Board of
Aldermen, when interviewed in re-
gard to parks. Both expressed them
selves as being in favor of having
such public recreation places in the
city. but they maintained that such
things as municipal electric light
plant and necessary street improve
ments should come first. Mr.. Hilker
declared that the city should have
parks just as soon as IL was deemed
wise and convenient to have them.
Being the father of the municipal
electric light movement here, Alder
man Hilker stands out prominently
for this PROJECT first, last and all the
time. He nodded his head emphatic
ally when he said that the city should
have parks, but not until it had first
secured a municipal electric lighting
plant. He advanced no particular
ideas concerning the subject, but ex-
pressed himself as being In favor of
a park In any location that would
give the most benefit to the city as a
whole. Although the third ward
representative In the council. he had
no suggestions to make relative to
locating a park In that ward Laugh
ing. he did mention that the city
might proceed to plant trees and
place benches for recreation purposes
on the triangular plot owned by the
city at New Brunswick avenue and
Fayette street.
Wilson Favors Poor Farm.
Il While not in favor of establishing
one or more parks at this particular
time, largely on account of the finan-
