charter offered to any member Of the
company who should, within four
years. bring fifty adults to the New
Netherlands and establish them along
the Hudson, liberal grant of land, to
be called manor, of which the owner
or PATRON should be full proprietor
and chief magistrate. The settlers
were to be exempt from taxation for
ten years. but under bond to stay in
one place and develop it. In the be-
ginning the PATRON built houses and
barns and furnished cattle, seed and
tools. The tenants for themselves and
their heirs agreed to pay him fixed
rent forever in stock and produce and,
further, to grind at the owners mill
and neither to hunt nor fish.
Judge Westbrook. in whose Office
worked, was counsel and collector for
the PATRONS, notably for the man'ors
of Livingston and Van Rensselaer,
| two little kingdoms in the heart of the
great republic.
Mr.. Louis Latour of Jefferson coun-
ty, whom had met in the company Of
Mr.. Dunkelberg, came during my last
year there to study law in the office Of
the Judge, a privilege for which he was
| indebted to the influence of Senator
Wright, I understood. He was a gay
Lothario, always boasting Of his love
affairs, and had little to do with him.
One day in May near the erd of my
two years in Cobleskill Judge West
brook gave me two writs to serve on
settlers in the neighborhood of Bald
win Heights for nonpayment Of rent.
He told me what knew. that there

1t is gala day for separate skirts.
They appear this summer in all sorts
of fabrics for nearly all sorts of occa-
sions. Starting out as purely practical
and utility garments. they progressed
into the more practical of dressy after
noon clothes, and then advanced into
the smartest of sport wear. The ad-
vent of new weaves in silk boosted the
cause of the separate skirt along, and
now no fabric is too sheer and dainty
to make the dressiest of these conven-
lent belongings. Organdie, voile, geor-
gette crepe lend summery charm to
-hera. Occasions where one wishes to
be smartly but informally dressed
seem TO multiply and the separate
skirt fits in with them perfectly.
The two skirts shown In the picture
are of fantasI silk and are worn with
georgette blouses. The heavy rib and
lustrous surface of this silk take the
place Of trimming. By using the silk

to be lawyer and my reasons for it.
He told me that lawyer was either a
pest or a servant of justice and that
his chief aim should be the promotion
of peace and good will in his commun-
ity. He promised to try and arrange
for my accommodation in his office in
the autumn and meanwhile to lend me
some books to read while ! was at
home.
Before we go to bed let us have a

The schoolmaster and his family
were fishing and camping upon the

house with Mrs. Wright and her moth

house 1t was, in my viewi I was awed
by its size and splendor. its soft car
pets and shiny brass and mahogany.
Yet It was very simple.
I hoed the garden and cleaned its
paths and moved the dooryard and did
some painting in the house.
The senator returned to Canton that
evening on the Watertown stage. He
greeted me with fatherly warmth

and was about to close my desk and
start on my journey when Louis La

had brought the writs from the judge
and was going with me.

We got our dinners and set out soon
after one O'Clock. I had read the
deeds of the men we were to visit.
They were brothers and lived on ad-
joining farms with leases which COW
cred three hundred and fifty acres Of
land. Their great-grandfather had
agreed to pay yearly rent forever of
sixty-two bushels of good, sweet, mer-
chantable, winter wheat, eight yearling
cattle and four sheep in good flesh and
sixteen fat hens. all to be delivered in
the city of Albany on the first day Of
January of each year. So, feeling that
I was engaged in a just cause, brave
ly determined to serve the writs II
possible.
I rode in silence, thinking of Sally
and of those beautiful days now reced-
ing into the past and of my aunt and
uncle. I had written letter to them
every week and one or the other had
answered 1t. Between the lines l had

BUGS" BAER SUED
AS CONTRACT JUMPER

New York, Jan. 3O.-Arthur
Bugs" Baer. well known in Wash
inGton and on Broadway, became fa-
nous today, when he was named de-
fendant in suit brought by the
New York World against the New
York American.
According to the plaintiff, Baer's
present employment is in violation
of contract to write for the Eve
ming World exclusively. which was
renewed before January l last, to
run for two years from that date.
The complaint sets forth that the
World paid him SIS weekly under
a renewed contract with a bonus OF
SIS weekly. Also, that while he
served in a military training camp,
the plaintiff, in line with its war
time attitude toward patriotic en-
plCyes, paid him s45, weekly.
The American, it is alleged. Of
fered him a stipend in excess of
what the plaintiff was paying him,
along with a bonus of $1,000. The
World demands an injunction re-
straining the American from en-
ploying the individual defendant un-
til after the expiration of his al
legged contract and Baer from doing
any act in violation of the said con-
tract.
