CHAPTER ~.

The three at the table did not move
for perhaps twenty slow seconds. DR..
Strickland, who had pushed back his
chair, and whose hands were resting
on the table before him, stared at them
steadily. Anne, with a quick little
hiss Of surprise, smiled family. Alix,
the unstilted, widened her eyes, and
opened her mouth in unaffected as

girls faces, and was silent.

laughed, with all child's innocent
exultation. The next instant Anne
and Martin were shaking hands, and
Alix had enVeloped Cherry in an en-
thusiastic embrace.
Surprised exclaimed Alix. "Why,
aren't you surprised yourselfr
Her sister flushed exquisitely, and
Martin laughed.
"We're just about knocked silly -
he confessed, and all the girls laughed
joyously.
A place was made for Martin, and
biscuits and omelet and honey and
tea were put into brisk circulation.
Cherry took her chair, all dimples,
iushes, smiles, and shy confidence.
"And what are your plans7" Anne
asked materially.
Her uncle, who had been silent dur
ing the excitement, mildly interposed ::

Thousands upon thousands of women

Women's complaints often prove to be

If the kidneys are not in healthy con-

to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head

Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-

Schultz Sentenced to Die.
But First Tries Suicide
Cuts Wrist, but Is Hailed to
Court. Where He Denies
Murderino Ball Family

MIDDLETOWN, Conn, Oct. 25.-
Emil Schultz, who was convicted Of the
murder of three, members of the Ball
family last week, was sentenced to be
hanged on April 10, 1922. at the state
prison. by Judge w. M. Maltbie to-day.
In the Jail at Haddam this morning
Schultz attempted 70 kill himself by
cutting his left wrist with piece Of
tin. Surgical attention prevented loss
Of much blood, and he was taken to
court. Judge Maltbie did not rule on
the motion to set aside the verdict on
the ground Of insufficiency of evidence,
saying that he would further consider
the motion.
Schultz when placed at the bar said {:
"I have been robbed Of my lands, my
money. my bonds, worth $4,000, and
my family. l swear by God Almighty
that | did not burn the Ball family. I
am absolutely innocent"
Sentence was imposed and Schultz
was taken mediately to state prison.
His counsel expects to carry the case
to the Supreme Court Of Errors. Coun-
sci claimed that aside from testimony
of Julius Schultz, son, there was no
direct evidence to connect Schultz with
the crime.

Buyer of Sparkill
Property Revealed
AS Standard Oil Co.
Mystery in Purchase of 1 500
Acres, With River Front
age, Solved by Filing of
Deed; Cost Over 2 Million

Mystery surrounding the Sparkill
land purchase, seven years ago, which
conveyed $500 acres of woodland and
swamp, bounded by the Lake Shore
Railway and Hudson River east and
west, the village Of Palisades, N. Y, on
the south, and Sparkill, N. Y, on the
north, was solved yesterday when deeds
to the tract were filed by the Standard
Oil Company. The consideration in
volved in the purchase was 100000.
The deed was recorded in New City,
county seat of Rockland County, by
Judge Oswald A. Bauer, of Sparkill,
who said, when questioned rs to the fill
aside from the fact of the transaction.
Information obtained last night sug-
gests the probability that this property,
lying as it does at the head of the
Port Development projection, is to be
used for establishment of an export
storage and shipping point by the
Standard Oil Company. The strip is
about one and quarters miles
long and half mile in width.
The deeds were originally recorded
in the name Of A. A. McCreary, who
died year ago, in the West, without
revealing his principals in the trans
action. During the war speculation was
rife as to who were the actual pur-
chasers and suspicion was aroused in
some quarters that they might be
enemy aliens intending to use the land
for purposes inimical to government.
The tract extends from the most north
ern point Of deep water navigation on
the Hudson and is admirably adapted
to development as shipping point to
foreign ports.
1t also was learned yesterday that
the New York Transit Company, a sub
sidiary pipe line company of the Stand
ard Oil, has obtained right Of way for
a pipe line to the newly transferred
tract.

Wife Says Refusal to Aid
Plot Enraged Husband
Mrs. Hero Lays Marital Woes
to Rejection of Demand to
Testify Falsely

Refusal to testify falsely In behalf
OF her husband in a damage suit, ac-
cording to Mrs. Laura Hero, who is
suing Alfred Hero for divorce, was the
underlying reason for the trouble that
has crept into their marital affairs.
Mr. Hero is in the automobile supply
business
Mrs. Hero told Justice Hotchkiss
that she had refused to testify for her
husband in a suit for damages which
her husband and his mother had planned
against Santini & Co. The plain
TIN said that late one night she over
heard whispered conversation be-
tween Mr.. Hero and his mother. and
heard her husband say: ''If we do not
get Laura put in an insane asylum
you and I will go to Jail" Soon there
after, said Mrs. Hero, she went to
Watertown to rest
That was not the first time" said
the wife, II refused to enter with them
into such unholy and improper projects,
IN which they were constantly in
volved, and it was srch refusals on
my part which incurred the displeasure
Of my husband and his mother"
Mr.. Hero denied the charges of his
wife, and Justice Hotchkiss refused TO
grant Mrs. Hero alimony or counsel
fees because she failed to file sun
porting affidavits.
