Junes mind and staying there The guests
had not yet arrived The impulsve girl hurried
down and out Of the back door across the beautiful
rear porch and down the winding and twisting little
steps toward the Willard cottages Mrs Grogg was
sitting D the kitchen in stony silence when June
arrived there. a silence from which weeping bad
long since passed.

Tommy and Cunningham and Blys sat for some
time together after the big man bad left They
were evidently planning something.
Finally all three went out and stepped into Blye's
luxurious limousine Before they had gone very far
Blye, sitting by the girl, leaned toward her and
began talking to her In low tones BY and BY the
trace Of a smile came to her lipS
In a tastefully furnished drawing room a kindly
looking woman held the bubbllng Tommy's hand
between both her own while they talked. There
were both sadness and loneliness in Mrs Willard as
she drew Tommy to a seat on the couch beside her,
but she had spirit too. for she displayed most
eager interest in the beautiful portrait of June War
ner, which presently peered up at her from Inside
the lid OF June's little gold watch.
When Tommy rejoined the men in the brilliantly
lighted limousine she handed Blye Junes watch

"Why. Al, you didn't give me any money"
The man searched unsteadiy through all bis pOck-
cts. He finally discovered half dollar and dime.

lard as she saw tears In the eyes Of Mrs. Grogg.
Mrs. Willard, who had come to know life In many
sordid phases, took June away.

Mrs. Willard in a matter Of fact sort OF way and

change In their subject of thought

On the corner Of Wander street and Duck alley

snified continuously, both while she was pulling up

The Appointiue
County Offices
To Be Filled Soon

No sooner was the result of the
Freebooter election reasonably GER
tain Tuesday night than the political
wiseacres began to allot the jobs at
the Court House after the complete
housekeeping from top to bottom"
Joseph A. Brohel, chairman of the
campaign committee of the Republi-
can County Committee, and who is re-
sponsible more than any one other
person in Bergen county for the Sc
lection and election of the seven Free
holders-elect, is said to be slated for
County Collector, Walter Christie's
job. Former Prosecutor Wendell
Wright is most prominently men
toned for County Counsel, William B.

mentioned for Clerk of the new Board
and it is not all improbable that

is Republican, may be allowed to

Election day last Tuesday was all
that the Weather Man had in his
best colored brewing bag, and it was
all that the most captious could have
asked. Aside from a strong north
west wind, the temperature could
not have been more ideal. In Pail
SADIE the early voters began as soon
as the polls were open, and scattered
all through the day in job lots. BY
five o'clock 100 ballots had gone into
the box, and at that hour the watch
ers looked for at least thirty more.
In the Palisade section, the sentl-
ment before the election was largely
in favor of White for Mayor Of the
Borough of Fort Lee. He was the
Palisade candidate, pure and simple,
and it was thought that Palisade
would decide the election.
There was nothing in the way OF
incident in Palisade during the day,
except the challenge of voter,
named Scutario, who was not regis
tered. When Bailey Willard an
nounced promptly at seven p. m. that
the polls were closed. The first vote
counted was for Kerwein. The bust
ness of counting went on, and it was
all over at about nine, the result
standing, White 115, Kerwein II.
This was a bitter disappointment
to the Kerwein followers and source
of happiness for Whites, but the
general result was looked for long IN
advance. There was little or no ap-
plause after the count, the feeling
being that the other three polling
places might change the result, and
the time for shouting had not arrived.
The small boy contigent of Pail
SADIE performed their usual bonfire
stunt and got good sized crowd out
to witness the fun. 1t was placed In
Palisade avenue, just north of Bluff
road, and made great blaze when
it was touched off at 8 o'clock. The
Young people enjoyed the fun great
ly, as did the older ones, for every
bodv loves a big bonfire.

H. M. Bailey Talks
In Grantwood Church
On Local Option

Herbert M. Bailey, newly elected
Assemblyman from Bergen county,
delivered an address at Grantwood
Congregational Church last Sunday
evening on the subject of local
option. Mr.. Bailey expressed re-
greet that his two fellow Republican
candidates were not able to be pres
ent, they being called elsewhere to
address other church gatherings.
Mr.. Bailey made a strong plea for
home rule in the control of the
liquor question. Pennsylvania and
New Jersey were the only two re-
naming states in America who had
not this control. Nineteen states
had local prohibition laws. Sey-
nlour N. Sears, in introducing Mr..
Bailey said that the Republican
County Committee in making its Sc
lection of candidates had decided
that they must be chosen with ref
erence to their favorable stand on
the local option issue.
A great part of the credit for the
working up of the local option in
terest was due to the efforts of the
Alti-Saloon League.
Mr.. Bailey said that the question
of the proper choice of the Free
holder Board and the elimination of
the large one was moral one.

Van Buskirk
Is Bergen's
New Clerk.

In the county of Bergen, the Re-
publicans won most of the offices.
The big surprise was the defeat of
James w. Mercer for County Clerk.
He was expected to win, and doubt
less would have done so, but for the
treachery of Thompson, who came
out on the Progressive ticket and
thus helped along George Van Bus
kirk. Mr.. Van Buskirk, however,
proved himself the winner on merit,
and that fact alone will make him a
most acceptable clerk. He took a
good reputation into the campaign
for efficiency. The Freeholders
chosen, all Republicans, are as fol-
lows:
The Republican bracketed Free
holder candidates-Reid Howell, of
Rutherford; Ernest w. Webbon, of
Ridgefield Park; Louis S. Coe, of
Englewood; J. Blauvelt Hopper, of
Ridgewood; William Beswick, of
Garfield; William P. Eager, of Ten
afy; and Joseph Kinzley, jr., of
Hackensack. The three Republican
Assembly candidates T. Ack-
erman, of Ridgewood; Herbert M.
Bailey, of Hackensack; and Walter
G. Winnie, of Hasbrouck Heights
were also elected.

Fairuiew Elects Lyons
Mayor Over Adelberg

The Fairview election resulted in
the choice of Charles Lyons over
Joseph A. Adelberg for mayor.
Messrs. Ebel and Kelly were chosen
for council, Vogh for assessor, Fay
for collector, Fiske for justice of
the peace.
The result was a walkover for the
Democratic contingent Lyons, Ebel
and Kelly, for mayor and council;
Voght for assessor, and Fay for col
lectsE'; Fiske, fer Justice of lhe
peace-this in a nutshell is the story
of Fairview's election fight on Tues
day last. The hesult was walk
over for the Democratic contingent.
Collector Fay had no competitor, and
Charles Lyons was reelected over
Joseph A. Adelberg, Republican, by
a vote of 300 to 172.
The vote for county and state Of
ficers was 2 to l in favor of the
Democrats. Councilman Ridgway at
home as elsewhere led all the other
Democratic candidates for Free
holder. For County Clerk, Van Bus
kirk and MERGERS votes were respec-
lively 2O6 and 1O3.

John Cadien, Republican, was
elected Mayor of Cliffside Park on
Tuesday last by an overwhelming
majority over Joseph F. Whelan
Democrat. Mr.. Cadien, or just "John,"
as he is called by the greater part of
the borough, will be known in future
as the "boy mayor" He is the
youngest mayor yet grazing the high
est post in the gift of the electors
of the borough.
The two election districts of Cliff
side Park acquitted themselves with
credit on Tuesday last, polling
total of 645 votes out of 812 regist-
cred. In Grantwood 1892 men cast
their votes; in Cliffside 313. These
same districts year ago polled 2S5
and 274 votes, respectively. In it's
borough went Democratic; locally, it
went safely Republican. Council
man John Cadien, Republican, was
elected mayor by the handsome ma
jority of IS over Joseph Whelan,
Democratic, and president of the
school board. Their votes were,
Cadien, $40; Whelan, 1852. Of these
figures, Grantwood gave Cadien 143
and Whelan 1854; Cliffside's figures
were, Cadien, 1877, Whelan, SO. A
considerable amount of scratching
was done for the candidates in both
districts.
In the councilmanic contest, the
surprise in the count was the heavy
vote polled by ex-Councilman Cohn,
Republican, who ran far ahead of his
ticket and the other candidates. He
polled 346 votes. The fight between
the other three candidates was re-
markably close, Alfred Mutt, Repub-
lican, winning out over George Dick
enson, Democrat, by bare majority

Although it was anticipated that
the Board of Freeholders would again
bring up the question of taking over
the Bergen Turnpike at their meeting
yesterday, not a word was said in re-
lation to the matter, nor about the
proposed compromise of the Public

fare On the Fort Lee Ferry. The meet
ing therefore resolved itself into an
orderly transaction of business. Be-
yond the expenditure og 100000 or

spectively. Thompson's vote was 81
