definite decision upon the selection OF
site for the proposed new South Jersey

offer OF a free site in the beautiful Whit
ney estate.
Citizens have made subscriptions sum
cient 10 purchase twenty-five acres or TINS
estate known as the Holy Bush tract, to
provide a free site for the normal school
since negotiations have BEEN under way.
over this proposed site the state Board OF
Education is said TO have obtained an option
'upon the entire tract Of approximately nfty
acres. in addition to an option on another
flfty acres Of farm land Just adjoining the
Holy Bush tract
The choice OF the location OF the new
normal school lies between Glassboro and
Woodbury, in view OF the tentative decision
Of the State Board OF Education to place
the institution in Gloucester County. Wood
hurry business men are working hard TO
land the school for their city, and they
have the support OF towns In the western
mart of Gloucester and Salem Counties.

CHAPTER XVI.
Suddenly the merrymakers ceased their
laughter. A shrin cry from within the
house Of Nadlna made them pause. Jether
rushed among them, carrying an empty
teakwood box which had been broken
open.
Robbed! Robbed" he cried "A thief
has stolen all my money. Thou woman
thou hast robbed me"
Nadina faced him Indignantly, with pre-
tended scorn. Art thou mad?" she said
coldly.
MY chest is empty. Not one shekel In
H. and thou alone knewest where ! kept
my gold. Thou hast taken all and left me
not single COIN
Nadina took the box from him and threw
1t angrily upon the ground.

friends?" she demanded angrily Have
any need of thy small treasure, who own
this house and feed thee and thy friends?
Vert thou not drunk, l would have thee
| tioEged for slaudering me"
Jether gazed about him with a dazed ex-
preston. Yes. II is true ] did lend much
money TO my friends" he stammered. "a
had forgot the money 1 did lend them, but
stll there was plenty when last l opened
this chest" Nadina seized his arm.
Hast thou no money elsewhere?" she
! whispered
Jether shook his head. None"
But thou hast a father who Is rich In
| lands Send to him for more"
Il have already had my portion" ad-
mitted Jether sadly "He will give me
naught"
Nadina shook him angrily, and turned
aside contemptuously.
| What thou hast loaned is lost she
| cried. But IL all the money is gone, how
| wilt thou pay me all that thou owest me?
Jether proudly raised his head. Thou

not comprehending and she continued

But use thy skill carefully, so that no one

From her dress she drew two dice, and

METRO PLAYERS FOR

co-stars in Their Compact at the Victoria,
demonstrate the fact that cooperation wins
in motion-pcture work, as II does In all
other walks of life They remain the
screens leading exponents of the value OF
teamwork.
II am firm believer in the double-star
system" said Mr.. Bushman recently. Per
haps I am somewhat prejudiced in favor
of II on account of the success Miss Bayne
and ! have had In working together both
In the old Essanay days and in our pres
ent happy association with Metro. Actually.
our experience has been such as to make
the single e-star system look to me almost
lopsided. You go to see a star and find
that other details of the production have
been subordinated to hin-or her. The star
Is excellent. and the leading man, or
woman, perhaps not so excellent. On the
other hand with teamwork each plays
into the hands OF the other II is human
nature for the men in the audience to be
especially interested in the woman star and
in the man star There are exceptions. OF
course. but that is the rule. See what an
advantage the double-star system has? It
provides potent attraction for every per-
son in the theatre"
Miss Bayne further illustrates the value
Of teamwork by agreeing with Mr. Bush
man. THE authors IDEAS" she declared,
there is the cooperation OF two stars. Some
of the strong. virile ideas will be sacrificed
II there Is noted woman star at the head
of the organization and the male part oppo-
site her has not, perhaps, been strongly
enough cast, and in case n man is the role
star, the more beautiful. artistic phases
which absolutely require capable woman
to interpret them are lost II the leading
woman is not exceptionally clever.
"Of course. there is the danger that
parts will be stronger for one than for the
other, and then professional Jealousy may
arise. But in the long run l believe the
chances are about even. I know II has been
so with Mr.. Bushman and myself. In our
next production, Gods outlaw as we'll
as in previous productions, such as Romeo
and Juliet. Man and His Soul and The
Wall Between, sometimes one part has
stood out and sometimes another, but on
the whole / think neither of us has any
thing to worry about in this regard and
i fully agree with Mr.. Bushman as to the
value of the twin-star system"

Idas mother, her only remaining parent

the mother and daughter had been beau

sisters, and could understand it was the
mothers caresslng voice that had helped
TO soothe the great hurt when the daughter
found the man to whom she had given her
heart was not worthy. And now her
mother, her one great friend who could
understand and comfort her, had also been
taken away.
My heart poured out to the girl. She
was even beginning TO doubt the mercy
and love of God who had taken from her
everything she had thought worth living

thousands Of poor folk in the big cities an
opportunity to follow Hoover's advice to
stop eating hlgh-priced meats and save

To get an idea of what is meant by lots
of fish one should see the soops coming
into Gardner's Basin filled, hold, deck and
boats, clear to the rail, with silvery beauties
good enough for any king to eat baked or
fried to a turn. Atlantic City never saw
so many fish as have been brought In this

ARTIFICIAL fishing bank and catch as many
fish as he can carry. The banks further

Getting the seas tribute Off to the mar
