NEWARK. July 6.-Persistent
speeding by autoists on the streets
OF Newark is giving Mayor f. b.
Frazer and other town officials who
are anxious TO make the streets as
safe as possible, much concern and
1t is possible that drastic measures
will soon be taken TO put a stop TO
this abuse OF the traffic laws. Most
OF the speeding however. is done by
residents OF the town who have ap-
parently become OF the opinion that
the town speed laws are not meant
for them.
Depot Road and Delaware avenue
are two thoroughfares where the
speeding seems to be practiced
most while there Is also some fast
driving on Main street, but not near
as much as on the above two
streets probably due to the fact that
the speeders know that the town
officer is on Main street most Of the
time. Hardly a day passes but what
children have narrow escapes from
being run down by the speed fiends
and It is only a question of time un-
Ill some fatal accident happens, un-
less a stop is put to the practice.
As far as children are concerned
Delaware avenue between Depot
Road and ElktOn Road probably
holds the record there being more
than forty children in this one
block This fact however does not
stop the speeders who repeatedly
drive through this street and also
take the turn in the middle of the
block at from 20 to 35 miles an
hour. Residents Of Delaware avenue
are considering taking the matter up
themselves. report all speeders and
insist that they not only be prose-
cuted but that a substantial fine be
imposed as provided by law.

the window to behind him, latched
it deftly, and came forward.
As he did so his eyes met and
held Fancy Revells. They still
smiled, but there was that in the
smile that made her catch her
breath. Then he nodded affably to
Knowles and turned to Bonny.
T've been looking all over the
place for you," he announced Sc
rene. 81 rather fancy this is your
property. You dropped it as you
left the card rooms about twenty
minutes ago."
He tossed it carelessly onto the
table, near to Bonny's nervously
clenched hand, as he spoke, con-
triving by design or accident that
it should fly open-and Fancys
breath rasped suddenly, harshly in
her throat.
The wallet was no longer empty.

hopelessly, her eyes were wide and
scared. Rather gropingly she
reached out and caught at the back
of her chair.
Billy Fanshawe's own fingers
clenched, and he was Unexpectedly
reminded that he was still holding
Bonny Revells empty wallet. For
an instant he brought his eyes
away from the group by the hearth
and looked down at it. Into his
round face there crept something
new and keen and quite foreign to
its customary placid amiability.
Again his gaze lifted, swept from
Bonny, motionless and deadly
white, over Knowles's half-smiling
face, and rested upon Fancy.
1t dwelt there while the fingers
of his right hand slid up slowly to
his breast pocket. Something
rustled family beneath them and
he drew a slow breath softly be-
tween his teeth. Silently he drew
further back into the shadow. Still
more silently his hand found the
catch of the window, turned it and
gently pushed the window itself a
little outward.

And, outside, breathing heavily,
with close-locked lips, Billy Fan

own pocket and Bonny RevelPs
wallet. -,
From within, as he Strengthened
himself at last, he could hear the
murmur of Fancy's voice, low,
tense, shakily indignant.
"What do you mean?' she was
demanding, a shade hurriedly.
"Why do you speak like that-in
that tone? Are you suggest
ing"-
And then she stopped with
smothered exclamation. No longer
silently the window leading out on
to the frosty terrace had been
pulled wide. Between the heavy
curtains, blinking mildly as though
he found the light of the room try
ing after the darkness without,
stood Billy Fanshawe.
His round face was as ruddy and
fresh as ever, his customary smile
drew deep creases about his mouth
and eyes. ... ..
Bland, immaculate, exuding gen.
iality, he made startling contrast
to the three who faced him. Then

veil neither moved nor spoke, only
stood there staring stupidity at the
open wallet and its bulging con-
tents. He was beyond comprehen-
= sion of what it all meant. He
vaguely remembered having seen
this round little smiling man in the
room with his sister when he had
stumbled in upon her less than
half an hour ago, but how he had
obtained possession Of his wallet
he could not imagine.
In any case he had no time for
thought or for comment. With her
cry of triumph and relief Fancy
had pounced upon the wallet and
was now scattering the notes it
contained oyer the table, counting
them breathlessly, and with an oc-
casional catch in her voice.
"Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, nifty!
One hundred, two hundred-three,
four, five.
She piled them rapidly, accurate
", her voice rising in crescendo,
her eyes blazing in her small,
white face. Then, STOPPING half
across the table, she pushed them
all with wide sweep of her arms
toward Austin Knowles.
Give hundredw she repeated,
on a shrill note that was very
nearly hysterical. There's your
money, Mr.. Knowlesl Count it
count it now, and then give me
that receipt for it."
Mechanically Knowles obeyed.
Rather fumblingly he handled the
notes, laboriously counted them,
then, breathing somewhat heavily,
stood upright and looked across at
her.
He did not know what to think
or what to say. The whole thing
was so unexpected, SO amazing, so
utterly unlocked for. He glanced

money was lost, or, perhaps,
should l say, how?"
There was the faintest possible
emphasis on the last word. Re-
veil, flushing darkly, took a step
toward the speaker, but Fancy
flung out her hand.
Her face was piteously white,
her lips quivering, yet she faced
him bravely still. And beneath
his bewilderment, distress and dis
may Billy Fanshawe was conscious
of a quick throb of admiration for
her. There was something so des-
perate in her whole attitude, her
whole expression-something at
once protective and daringly de-
fiant. She found her voice with
an effort.
''That," she said, very low, "is
impossible for me-t-for. either of
us-to tell you! "We"-
She stopped abruptly, flushing
to the roots of her hair as Knowles
broke in upon her speech with a
short laugh, and her outflung hand
clenched fiercely as it fell to the
side.
Knowles eyed her thoughtfully,
half amusedly, yet from beneath
lowered lids, and there was that
in his gaze that brought the pain
full color singing to her face for
the second time as though he had
struck her.
"Oh, l say, you know he MUIR
INJURED. "You surely don't think
I'm quite green enough to swallow
that bluff, do you"
He paused deliberately, letting
his eyes wander from her tense
face to Bonny's deathly pale one.
And for the first time very dim
inkling of the girls meaning began
to dawn upon Fanshawe.
She was making one wild, pitt
full and tragically hopeless at

was fighting for time-time to
think, to plan some means of max
ing good the deficiency; above all,
she was fighting to shield her
brothers honor, and the honor of
her name. ,
Looking at her, Fanshawe was
aware that she would be prepared
to go to any lengths, to lie grimly
and desperately If need be. But
he was aware, too, that she was
putting up a losing fight.
She had nothing to back her,
nothing to substantiate her assur-
ance that the money was lost.
Even now she was beginning to
lose some Of her hitherto perfect

Fancy's rigid face and having
offered his case to both of them in

carefully and lighted up.

Young Bonny Revell still stood
stupidity staring. Fancy, one shak-
ing hand against her throat, the
other pressed heavily upon the
table, was swaying slightly, her
head flung back.
Mr.. Fanshawe, with an express
sion Of half questioning, vague
surprise in his mild, jolly eyes, was
whistling tunefully scarcely above
his breath, his hands thrust deep
in his pockets, the while he bal
anced himself lightly first on his
toes and then on his heels, for all
the world like an attentive but
scarcely comprehending schoolboy
watching some more than usually
surprising demonstration of his
elders unexpected caprices.
"Five hundred pounds"
Austin Knowles repeated the
words rather thickly and cleared
his throat: Again that curious,
hard breath rasped painfully in
Fancy Revell's throat. She lifted
her hand.
"The receipt, pleaseT
There was, that in her tone that
made Knowles vince, flush and stir
sharply, setting his teeth hard
upon his lip. For, second he
seemed to hesitate, and in that sec
ond he happened to catch Billy
Fanshawe's roundly placid gaze.
Immediately the little mans face
became mass of creases, he grin
ned affably.
''Nice little haul" he observed,
conversationally. mighty glad I
saw you drop it, sir"
He transferred his bland regard
to the motionless boy, and taking
both hands out of his pockets rub
bed both energetically over his
bald, pink head.
"Guess you were Jared some
when you found you'dlost it. Un-
der the circumstances should sug-
gest a double whiskey and very lit
tie soda"
He chuckled softly, bringing a
plump hand down with a would-be
cheering whack upon the shoulder
nearest him.
"Here, get along and have it,
man. You look as though you
need it,"
While he spoke he was propell-
ing Revell gently but with determi-
nation toward the door. Upon the
threshold he paused, chuckling
again.
'Take a couple, neat" he ad-
vised cheerily. "I'n look after
Miss Revell until you come back"
He turned back into the room
and met Fancy's eyes as she took
slip of paper out of Austin
Knowles hand. For a moment
she held his gaze, her own inscrut-
able. Then she stepped back, look
ing Knowles full in the eyes.
"And now," she said, with a
sudden choking passion of scorn
and resentment in her voice, "now
-gow
And Austin Knowles, bewil-
dered, baffied, still utterly at loss
to place Fanshawe's position in
the whole affair, went.
AS the door closed upon him
Fancy Revell turned blindly, and
cropping her way to the big arm
chair dropped Imply into it, turn
ing her face against the high
leather arm, lying for several sec
onds quite still, her face hidden,
her hands fallen Imply on either
side of her.
Billy Fanshawe looked at her,
away again, then coughed gently.
At the sound she stirred and
looked up. Her face was drawn
and pitifully white. She looked
spent, exhausted, but her eyes
were still almost unnaturally
bright.
Over the polished surface of the
round table they met the half
troubled, kindly blue ones.
"Why did you do it?" she asked
at last.
Fanshawe made a wide, half dep

Fancy's lips opened; but
it was Bonny Revell who
spoke.

up. q" the boyish
voice was a note higher
than its wont, the eyes look

He broke off. Knowles, staring
at him, raised his brows. Then he
laughed.

"But earlier this evening you told

"And l wish to God" Bonny
broke in harshly, "that l had

Again he broke off, as though
the words he was trying to utter

the pencil back into his pocket and
stood upright.
81 don't understand" he said,
slowly. There was sufficient of
perplexity in his voice to make it
sound quite natural; yet, in his
corner, Billy Fanshawe stirred and
frowned. Vaguely he was con-
scious of subtle something under
the smoothness of the tone which
reused in him a slow sense OF
anger and dislike.
Perhaps Fancy Revell noticed it,
too, for a little sound broke from
her white lips, and as her brother
was about to speak again she took
a quick step forward.
"Mr. Knowles" she said, keep
ing her voice steady with an i'm
mense effort, "something-some-
thing very distressing and terrible
) has happened. 1t was that which
we were discussing when you
came in"
She paused to moisten her lips
keeping her eyes fixed upon the
pale ones looking out at her from
beneath their shady lashes, and in
spite of herself a tremor passed
over her, her hand lifted involun-
tarily to her breast.
"It-it is no use skirting round
the truth" she went on. "The
fact of the matter is, Mr.. Knowles

amaze, wonder, question. Again

aware of something else beneath
all of these-something of faint
unbelief.

 Small declines of the early part of the week were due to liquidation which accompanied first May notices. this sort of selling being in sympathy with the issuance of notices for 25,- 900 bales in the New York market. Notices here amounted to only 1000 bales. After first notice day was over more attention was paid to river and weather news. which was unsat- isfactory, on the whole, causing a buying movement of moderate pro- portions on which the market moved up to its highest levels. The ex- tremely heavy rains in Texas. accom- panied by further floods, were con- sidered to be extremely damaging to crop prospects in that state.
 Break in Levee
 The break in the Mississippi river levee In Concordia Parish. La, put a large area of cotton land under water, and cotton men expressed the opinion that the water would not subside in time to allow anything but very late start for the crop in that sec-
 
 there was more or less complaint about too much rain in some sections, too little in others and of too low temperatures for germination here and there. Opinion here at the end of the week was that, generally speak ing, planting had not made the pro- gress that should be seen at this time of the Year.
 The matter of acreage caused much discussion. and three private esti- mates made their appearance, one placing the increase in the acreage at s per cent, another at II per cent aui another at 19 per cent. The latter re- port indicated almost the largest area on record, s7,469,ooo acres. The fg- ures caused little stir in the market because they seemed to be regarded as too high.
 Mill accounts were somewhat bet ter, and much favorable comment fol- lowed the news by cable from Liver pool that the Lancashire dispute had been settled. Reports from New Eng land to brokers here that several large mills might cancel some of the business they had taken. because of the prolonged strike. caused almost a sensation. Later in the week the trade was favorably impressed by es- inmates of 10000 pieces of print cloths as the weeks sales in the Fall River market. Weekend market cir culars continued to call the market much of weather affair, and pre- dicted that fluctuations of the near future would depend largely on the weather map.
