HELP THE CHILDREN
OF NEWARK.

This week and next week the an
nual Thanksgiving collection for
worthy poor children is being taken
in the public school rooms of the
city. Last year this free will offering
amounted to more than $250.00, every
cent of which is used by the attend
ance officer, Mr.. Handel, to purchase
shoes and other clothing for worthy
children. Parents who are able to do
so are requested to give their children
small amounts for this offering.
Contributions from either citizens or
organizations in the city to this fund
will be appreciated. Every cent con-
tributed helps to keep some child IN
school, and there is no loss by having
to pay salaries as Mr.. Handel is in
the regular employment Of the Board
of Education. There is no more
worthy charity cause in the whole
city. Mr.. Handel visits the homes of
the children and knows their need
before aid is given.
Signed,
Wilson Hawkins,
Supt. of Schools.

IF I had ten times a million, and
could buy you character like his,
would gladly pay it all-aM!"
The slash of a whip in his face would
have stung him far less. He stared at
her a long moment, while the full
meaning of the words cut through the
armor Of his self-esteem. Modification,
anger, furious chagrin famed in his
face. He raised his hand as if to
strike her, and instead, whirled about
and rushed out through the porch. !
The girl sank on her knees, and
pressed her hands to her lips to stihe
the cry that would have called him
back. When she looked up, her face
was white and drawn with anguish.
But she had conquered.
Gle shall not-shall not know my
weakness - she whispered with fierce
determination. IF only it has Offend

he may go aWay-forever! might

one of the commissioners brusquely
proposed that Hardy be summoned to
attend upon them. Vandervyn inter-
posed with the suave suggestion that
the acting agent might leave in the
safe some Of the papers necessary to
a full understanding Of the affairs of
the agency.
At this the party fingered only for
a parting nip at Dupont's liquid hos
pitality. Assuring Marie that they
would return in: time for dinner, they
left under the escort of their host.
With the excuse that he had mislaid
his hat, Vandervyn returned to the
dining room. When he came out, he
shut the door. Marie was alone in the
parlor. All the suppressed fire Of his
passion famed in his face, as he
turned and came swiftly back to the
waiting girl. There could be no doubt
that he expected her to meet him half
way.
She stood beside a chair somewhat
pale, but outwardly very calm. She
did not advance a single step. Yet

while," he replied. His voice shook
with the irresistible passion of his
love. dearest !-let me call you that
here, this once! 1t was here I first
looked into the depths of your heart,
and learned how good and kind you
are"
The girl turned to hide her face
from the reverent alteration of his
gaze.
mo, no." she murmured. "Don't,
please!"
II must speak, DEAR" he replied. II
ask nothing of you. It is only that I
wish to tell you how you made me
realize again that life is worth living.
When l came from the Coast, I had
lost one dearer to me than anyone else
in all the wcrld-my mother. She
was a little woman, very frail-her
blue eyes were dim and faded, her
hair white; but even when she-was
at the very end-her dear eyes sought
to ease my grief with the same look
you gave me as you bent over me
here and thought me fatally injured.''
"Please!" begged the girl, choking
back a sob. II do not deserve
Your mother but I am not kind nor
good!"
Hardy went on in the same voice
of profound passion: ''You lifted me
out of the shadow of the Valley. You
came to me in my blank darkness, a
glorious light of divine goodness that
compelled me to see that all was not
wrong with the universe-that even
so great loss as mine might be for
the best"
II am not what you think mel
am nOt!" she reiterated.
"You restored my faith and hope
he insisted: 1T would be selfish of
me to ask anything more of you
now
ut would be useless useless J" she
cried.
He was too little versed in feminine
nature to realize that her vehemence
might indicate an effort to suppress
an inner doubt of the assertion. Had
he been few years younger, youth
ful lmpetuOslty might have won him
that which his reverent respect shrank
from urging. He had taken her
gloved hand. He pressed it to his lips,
and freed her.
Il shall not annoy you, DEAR" he
