Only the embrace of Jack $

ster from subsiding into a jellied
heap upon her parqueted floor.
Her only self-control was that she
held her tongue.
Fortunately, there was little
necessity for her speaking. The
bride and groom chartered on and
she began to regain some slight
steadiness--enough to consider
systematically how she was to es-
cape undiscovered from the pair,
when suddenly her wits we're sent
spinning by a new fear.
The real Matilda! Mrs. De Pey-
ster's ears, at that moment fran
tically acute, registered dim
movements of Matilda overhead.
The couple chatted on about
their household arrangements,
and Mrs. De Peyster, the prisoner
of Jacks affectionate arm, stood
gulping, as though her soul were
trying to swallow itself.

be back In five minutes and then
We'll get supper down in the

Yes, all three of u.s." agreed
Mary.
Jack picked up his bag. Fran
tically Mrs. De Peyster tried to
think of some way of holding him
back from a possible encounter
with Matilda upon the stairway.
But she could think of nothing
Jack went out.
"I'll go to the kitchen-and get
you something to eat" Mrs. De
Peyster gulped. Mary followed
her into the dining room. but the
supposed Matilda hurried on into
the dark buffers pantry, where
she sank into a chair.

returning, and, pushing the pan

about the company being perfectly

A Kiss In the Dark

IL WdS LIS uehJ ud..
Olivetta had mailed a few hur-
ried notes to friends about her
sudden departure for a complete
rest in the utter seelusion of an
unnamed spot in Maine-Jack De
Peyster had moved out-and up
in her sitting room sat Mrs. De
Peyster. reading.
The day passed pleasantly. Her
social season had been a strenu-
GUS one, and just to do nothing
but rest was a relief to Mrs. De
Peyster.
Soon she was being dressed in
one of Matilda's sober housekeep-
ing gowns, the twin of tho dress
Matilda now wore, for her even
ing ride with William. They we're
fortunately Of nearly same same
figure.
Matilda, the competent, skilled
Matilda, was inexplicably incom-
petent at this function. AS she
followed the fully CARRIED and
thickly yelled Mrs. De Peyster
down the stairway, her nervous
ness increased.
Mrs. De Peyster opened the
door, unlocked the door in the
boarding and locked 1t behind
her, stepped into her brougham,
which had been ordered and was
waiting at the curb. up Fifth
avenue and into the park, Will
iam," she said.
Half an hour later the carriage
turned again into Washington
Square and drew up before her
house. She stepped quickly out
and hurried up her steps.
She had unlocked the door in
the boarding and had stepped into
the dark entry, when she became
aware that William had deserted
his horses and was stepping In
just behind her. AS though It
were a matter OF long custom,
William slipped an arm about her
waist and imprinted a kiss upon
her veil.
Mrs. De Peyster let out a little
gasping cry and struggled to free
herself.
Don't be scared, Matilda"
William treasured her. Nobody
can see us in here" And he pat
ted her on the shoulder with mid
dle-aged affection.
ITS all right. dear" William
again treasured her, with his
staid ardor, ITS mighty good to
be with you like this. Matildal"
He heaved a lovelade1 sigh.

Lars Larson Buried,
Worked 56 Years For
Valuoline Oil Co.

Lars Larson, aged SO, of Washing
ton avenue, died at his home early
last Tuesday morning, after a two
weeks illness. Pneumonia developed
from mild attack of grip, from
which he suffered three weeks ago.
Previous to his last illness, Mr.. Lar
son always enjoyed robust health,
and was seldom heard to complain.
The physician in attendance did every
thing possible but his condition was
too critical to warrant hope for his
recovery.
Funeral services were conducted at
his late home by the Rev. Nauritz
Stolte; of the New York Swedish
Congregation. Interment took place
in Fairview Cemetery ON Thursday.
The deceased just finished a service
of fifty-six years with the Valvoline
Oil Company. He began work in the
Edgewater shops when twelve years
of age, and being steady and faith
full, he had the respect and esteem Of
his employers, who are among the
many that mourn his loss. He is sur
vived by his wife, his son Carl and
his family.

baseball team of C. P. H. S. journey
ed to Englewood to play the high
school team of that city. Although
the home town boys were defeated
they are not, by any means, disheart.
ened, for the showing made by them
gives promise of successful season.
The score, to 0, indicates in itself
what kind of a game it was.

the very first inning and it looked

to think so and frightened up, as Il

until the eighth inning. Cliffside had
several fine chances to score, but each
time it's attempts fell through Al
any rate, with little more practice,
this team is bound to bring home
more than a few victories this season
The same team will travel to Has
