The judge answered in the affirma-
tive, and the jurors filed cut. Other
lawyers were haranguing another (and
male) jury when the women returned.
Seriously, without self-consciousness,
they took their places in file before
the bench and Mrs. Garrison, raising
her voice so that everybody In the
court room might hear, pronounced the
verdict:
1--WE find that the claimant is the
owner Of the property"
The jury manners of the women
were exemplary but protracted. The
trial, which probably would have been
disposed of in thirty minutes by dis
interested male jury, consumed the bet
ter part of the day.

Sick Man Monarch of All He Surveyed

wealthy attorney of Jersey City, was
sick. and his physicians told him that
unless he went back to nature he
would die. DR.. Daniel S. Hardenburg,
Charles brother, and an eminent Jer-
sey physician. was so sure that MS
brothers death was imminent that ne
bought Watts island from their aunt
and gave it to Charles.
Then came the exile and the long
sojourn on the tiny Continent alone
with the seabirds and his dog, with the
ceaseless booming of the surf and the
eery calls Of the seagulls as the only
sound to break the silence.
Il hadn't been there long until /
knew that life on the island was my
way to health" he said. Il truly be-
lieve | would have been In my grave
today had l not gone to Watts. SO.

Life was pretty much zone thing
after another to HardenburS. He
rose at sunrise, cooked his meal and
cleaned his house. Then he rowed his
boats to his fish traps and in the after
noon hunted geese, brant and swan.
There was an inexhaustible supply Of
shellfish at his door.
In the summer Hardenburg kept a
garden and in the winter spent most
of his time with books.
Now Hardenburg finds it a little
hard to readapt himself to the ways of
civilization. He has clerical JOB IN

life had been full of anxiety and strug-
gle. There was mortgage on the old
homestead, and at one time it seemed
a foreclosure could not be avoided.
Then in some way he secured the mon
ey to pay it off, and fortunately 1t
was clear of encumbrance when he
died. That was just a month after
Eunice married Randall Marsh.
Her heart warmed as she thought
Of the loyal, whole-sOuled man who
had come into her life at critical
time. It had been generally supposed
that Randall had some little means,
for he was industrious and thrifty, but
when Mr.. Ralston died Randall stepped
into his place, practical, hard working
and self-Sacrificing.
The tears fell as Eunice reached the
storeroom, and lifted the top OF the
fancy box she had herself covered, In
which her father had been accustomed
to store his extra clothing. Randall
himself had made the receptacle, and
together they had given it to Mr.. Raj
ston on his last birthday. Eunice re-
moved some articles Of apparel tender
~ and with care, placed them on a
chair, and discovered some handker-
chiefs and three pairs Of stockings
rolled up neatly. She took the top pair,
undid it and with satisfaction noted as
1t unrolled that it was new and whole.
"Why, what can this bel" she ut
tered, as an envelope fell from the re-
leased folds. Her wonderment In
creased as she picked it up and found
it unsealed and inside written page
and a peculiar looking key. Then
with staring eyes, breathless, stirred to
the depths of her soul, she read:
after am gone see that this letter
and key are given to Randall Marsh.
1T has been secret he made me prom
Use never to divulge, that he gave me
money to pay off the mortgage. Poor,
noble hearted fellow he had saved the
81 900 to build little home, and gave
it feely to benefit us all. Month by
month | have saved what l could, and
have placed the money in a safety de-
post box in the City bank, where there
is nearly the amount he gave me-"

great cry of joy. She could scarcely

DOLLAR DAY
A BIG SUCCESS.
Stores Thronged All Day
With Shoppers For
Bargains
FROM SUBURBS
All of the Participants in the Affair
Beth Shoppers and Merchants. Well
Pleased

The biggest and best Dollar Day
ever held.
The foregoing, is the unanimous
verdict of practically every merchant
participating in today's big Dollar
Day Sale.
With ideal weather conditions pre-
yailine. there was positively nothing
to mar the big bargain event.
Before s o'clock this morning the
crowd was on the streets and 1t
continued to increase in number
throughout the forenoon and well IN
to the afternoon. The sale will be
continued till the participating stores
close tonight
Some of the stores were so packed
that the crowds had, to wait on the
outside. The shoppers came out
from every section of the city and
incoming electric trains brought hun
dreds from the suburbs and IN addi-
ton many came from points south OF
Alexandria.
The customers were satisfied that
they can buy cheaper in Alexandria
than elsewhere. 1t was clearly dem
onstrated that the purchasing power
of the dollar is once more 100 per
cent.
Every window in the stores on the
streets contained tempting bargains
which were eagerly bought by the
crowds and the stores carried an
endless variety of bargains of all
kinds.
The shoppers today were convinced
that the bargains offered prove con-
clusively that the merchants Of the
city are slashing their prices down
ward and today they realized more
for their Dollar than ever before and
all were satisfied with the multitude
of bargains offered by the various
merchants.

Campaign For This Work
Has Opened In This
City
ALL URGED TO. GIVE
Advisory Board Has Been Organized
Here-Letter From President Hard
ing Quoted

This is Salvation Army Week ana
t review Of the work done in this city
for the year ending March 81, last Is
the strongest argument why the loca!
corps should be supported by our c:ti.
zens. During last year approximately
$4,000 was spent in the. work Of the
Army and the up7keep of the property
on King Street. More than half of this
amount was advanced from the Home
Service Fund, or not contributed by
those of this city.
The most ardent and generous sup
porters of the Salvation Army are
those who know the most about it.
First of all those who know the most
of it are those who are in it. Its ra-
mifications reach everywhere and
there are few, if any, stages of hu-
man need that it does not reach.
A community Advisory Board has
been organized in this City. This
Board is comprehensive committee
of citizens which represents the
Army and the public in the practical
solution of the more aggravated pro
blems seldom understood by the mind
unframed in the scientific treatment
of such eases and which is rcspon-
sFole for providing the community
share Of Salvation Army maintenance
AN active campaign is now being
made to secure $6,20o, being the
amount of the budget for the year
192l-1922. 1t is hoped that the ccm-
mittees in charge of this work will re
ceive prompt and substantial co-opera
ton from every resident of the city.
The work of the army abroad in war
and at home during the period Of war
and in peace has earned and received
the confidence of everybody. A let
ter from President Harding, under
date Of April g.. 1921, reads.
sfHaying seen very much of the use
full and patriotic work Of the Saliva
ton Army in al parts of the coun-
try and having an opportunity to
famiiiarize myself with its work both
here and abroad during the war, |
am very glad indeed to give my en-
dorseanent to your campaign for the
extension of its work. The Salvation
Army surely deserves we'll of all
appreciative and loyal Americans, and
I wish you all success"
1t is hoped that many Will antici-
pate the committees and will send
their contributions direct to the trea-
surer, C. S. T. Burke.
