the financial infringement, had re-
spected him, and honored him, as for
Carol Durant and Angela
Well, as for Carol, he was at least
relieved of the terrific mental convul-
sion which would surely have fallen
upon him if he had had reason to be-
lieve that she loved him. AS 1t was,
her shock at his disaster would be
tempered by Armstrong; sane philoso-
ply; at most, she would lose in Hill
lard friend of only few months-a
man she had wanted to retain as a
friend, but-by her own admissions
that, and no more. This was conso-
lation trifing and fragile, to
be sure, but something saved out Of
the wreck.
AS to Armstrong-Hilliard marvel
ing somewhat at his own tolerance,
wished him joy. Armstrong was fine
and clean and manly; he had well
merited his victory. AS to Mr.. Cullen
-Hilliard was torn with regret, but
after all, Cullen's gullibility was what
had made the campaign so childishly
simple. AS to Angela who had
really loved him
"Oh, the poor little kidi" said Hill
lard softly. "The poor little kid.
And perhaps he had never loved
Carol Durant so much as when, at ten
o'clock that sunny morning, he went
up the steps of Angela's house to de-
stroy little girls regard for him be-
fore it could be destroyed by others.
On the doorstep, he found strength
in the memory of poor Pierre Dutout.
In way, billiard felt that he, too,
was giving up his life as Dutout had
given his with smile for the
fate, and blessing for the future. Be
cause he was afraid, upnervedly afraid,
that Angela. after all, was in love with
him-and when he put stop to that,
it was the beginning Of the end.

CHAPTER XII.

AS he crossed the threshold of the
long, overdecorated drawing-room, he
knew intuitively that he had blum
dered upon climax. This he sensed
from the attitude of the three who
turned toward him as he entered
sensed 1t before he saw what was in
their eyes. The atmosphere
was vibrant, as though from sound
waves which had passed beyond, and
yet left traces of the swell behind
them. The room was silent; but of a
silence more confounding than a deaf
ening turmoil.
billiard, standing on the threshold,
was himself the center of this atmos-
phere; he felt 1t partly because his
mood was so flexible and partly be-
cause the three who faced him had

simultaneously thrown their fixed at
tention on him, thrown it directly and
challengingly, including him in the
finale of the climax, while they stood
motionless as statues. He looked at
Waring, whose expression was defen-
sively acute; he looked at Angela,
flushed, palpitant and excited; he
looked at Mr.. Cullen. tight-lipped and
frowning; and billiard caught his
breath, as swimmer who launches
himself to high dive, and walked
composedly into the drawing-room.

YOU'D Don't Have to Gamble
When You Buy Roofing

Trying to fill a four-hush may be good
poker, but you can't afford to apply the
same principle to buying roofing. And
you don't have to.
Certain-teed Roofing offers you fair
and square buy. Its merits are on the
table - all above board - everybody
knows them.
Certain-teed Roofing is guaranteed for
S, 10 or IS years, according to weight.
That guarantee is backed by the largest
manufacturers of prepared roofing in
the world. In no case has Certain-teed
ever been known to wear out on the
roof.
Certain-teed Roofing is weather-proof,
fre-retarding and spark-proof. It gives
real roofing protection.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1920-06-18
Certain-teed Means
Known Value

There's no gamble in that proposition.
What do you get when you buy private
brands? What will they do? You
know nothing about them.
If you are willing to buy cheap roofing,
get it at a fair price. I'VE make third
grade roofing, called Guard Roofing,
which is satisfactory where long life is
not required. It looks as good as any
roofing. It is priced and sold strictly on
the basis of ttird-grade roofing.
Any responsible dealer can get either
Certain-teed or Guard for you quickly
from nearby Certain-teed warehouse
or jobber. He gets it when he wants it
and he gets what he wants. He can
afford to sell you at fair price.

ON FERRIES

The committee on finance and
budget Of the New York Board Of
Estimate will give a hearing on re-
quests for new ferries August s..
While no doubt municipal ferries
are meant, It would seem like a
logical time for Tottenville people
to press their claim for a new ferry
to Perth Amboy. The matter would
probably be referred to the Public
Service Commission or to some
other body, but the publicity would
be gained and the matter would at
least be given a start.
The fact that q new ferry COM
pany has a franchise for the Perth
Amboy side and awaits only favor
bic action on the part Of the New
York authorities to start operations
must carry some weight. The awful
service being given here by the
Staten Island Rapid Transit ought
to be inducement enough to get
something going. The public hear
ing Just announced might serve as
an opening wedge.

Ripping Rhymes
By WALT MASON.
SEASIDE MUSINGS.

I walk beside the e and muse,
among the surge dashed rocks; the
waves roll up and wei my shoes, and
spoil my green silk socks. 1t seems
to me the oceans sound is one great,
endless knell; its waters are the
battle ground of all that in them
dwell. Like cannibals fish make
their meals of relatives that pass;
the swordhsh fills itself with cells, the
dolphin eats the bass. All fishes are
avoiding foes by every futile means;
the sailed Goldfish briskly goes, pur-
suing canned sardines. I sense an
endless tragedy where'er the break
ers boom, the striking epic of the
sea, that tells of death and doom.
And if l babe the warfare cease, I'd
simply waste my breath; in vain I'd
preach a balmy peace to those whose
trade is death. Until the end of
stars and suns the hungry fish will
slay; the big will chase the little
ones. and stow the same away. The
shark would look on me with mirth,
or bid me amble hence, just as the
people do on earth. when I talk
peace and sense. And on the lana
as in the sea red blood must always
flow; alack, alas. and woe is me.
that such things should be SO!

ANOTHER PARK For ESSEX

1t will be Of interest to the people
Of Perth Amboy. and Of Middlesex
county generally, to know that the
Essex County Park Commission has
Just added another park to the
Essex county park system. This
makes the seventeenth park for
Essex county, and Essex isn't any
where near as big as Middlesex
county.
The new park in Essex county is
a tract Of about ffty-hve acres, in
gliding Verona lake which is a
body of water covering about thir-
teen acres. The report of the COM
mission gives the following descrip-
ton Of the new park:
THE property is a beautiful tract
of wood and water directly adjoin-
ing Bloomfield avenue in Verona.
The ground has many fine trees and
an attractive little stream flows into
In6 lake al It's SOutltClh Cho 1AS
lake is about thirteen acres in ex-
tent and the water supply to main
tain il seems ample. 1t Is accessible
by the Bloomfield avenue, Montclair
trolley, and IL at present used as an
amusement park and bathing place.
II IL crowded in summer with pic
mic parties and bathers and in win
ter furnished excellent facilities for
skating"
For the purchase of this tract
Essex county is issuing bonds for
100000 1t is pointed out, how
ever, that the commission will re-
tire 100000 worth Of bonds this
year so that the new purchase will
not add anything to the tax budget
of the county.
The significant fact IS that Essex
county now has seventeen parks,
some Of them very extensive, for
the people Of that thickly populated
section to find enjoyment. Perth
Amboy has spent considerable
money for park property. but moth
ing is done to develop the tracts
which the city already OWNS. If the
city should spend $150.oOo remov-

THE GERMANS AT SPA

The principal trouble with the
Germans at spa 10 that they do not
know that they have been licked.
France. remembering the harsh
terms dictated to her in 1871, is not
Inclined to give an inch on the de-
mands Of the allies in the latest
peacs treaty. From a French point
OF view this Is perfectly ~justihable.
Realizing how Germany conduct
ed the war and the promises made
by the Kaiser that Germany's
finances would be reconstructed
through indemnities collected from
the enemy. n can readily imagine
how 1enient the German war lords
would have been had they been the
victors. Germany forced the wal
with the idea Of greatly extending
her empire and collecting vast suns
as indemnities. She lost and is now
auibbiing because she is forced TO
take her medicine.
The root Of the trouble is the
failure Of the allies to fight the wal
out to a final decision. The humane
object Of the allies to save a few
thousand lives that would have been
lost in two or three weeks more OF
aghting may cost another million or
two OF lives in the future as it may
be necessary to again teach Ger
many mat she cannot ride rough
sbod over civilization.
Germany was beaten to a fragile.
The American troops had entered
Sedan on the last day of the fight
ing ana had cut her main. line OF
Communication. There Vas nothing
left for her to do but seek a hasty
peace on whatever terms she could
make or Internationally surrender.
she should have been compelled to
do the latter. Nothing short Of
Hinasnburg in person delivering his
sword over into the hands of Mar
rhal Foch should have ended the
war. That would have been a SON
clgsion that the German nation
suid have understood; with such
victory 1t would not have been
necessary for France to insist upon
such severe terms in the peace
treaty.
The great trouble with the situa-
lion at present Is. Germany, still
believing that she had not been
beaten and seeing America desert
ing the allies, is taking advantage
Of the situation and Is making all
the trouble she can. Had America
stayed by her associates and helped
clean up after the fighting was over,
as she should have done. the situa-
ton would be much brighter today.
we have the Republican sena-
ters, who placed their personal
hatred of President Wilson above
the peace of the world, to blame
for this. situation. In fact, the stu
alton at Spa today may be traced
directly to the door of the United
states senate. Whatever the stti-
Jude Of the political parties before
and during the war, the Republic
cans have certainly been playing
into the hands Of Germany since
the armistice was signed.
