"Your uncle, Lord Winton, took
the title and the whole properties CT
your family by the accident of birth.
Your father, the second son, having
no title and no fortune, entered the
diplomatic service and was allotted
to n of the little courts OF south
eastern Europe. He married your
mother there, and you were born
and grew up in the atmosphere OF
Serbia.
There was little chance that you
would ever have fortune or title.
| Lord Winton had two sons; one of
them married an American; the
other remained unmarried. There
were three lives between you and
this title and its immense estates in
England D.. . What chance was
there, monsieur, that these persons
should be removed and these bene-
fits descend to you?"
He paused.
But they were removed, mon
sieur, and the benefits nave de-
scended. The war appeared. Both

alcoholic league, for copies of the
American dry laws, and an account
of the measures taken for their en-

METUCHEN ROAD
WORK PUSHED
Hope to Have the Lincoln
Highway Ready for Cold
Weather

METUCHEN, Nov. 16. - Every
possible effort is being made Ia
complete the Lincoln Highway from
Metuchen to Highland Park before
the co., weather sets in. Accordin
to the contractors who IRE speeding
UP the work, the highway will he
finished within one month, If the
present favorable weather will keep
UP and gives the men an opportun-
ity at the work without ~hindrances
The south bound half of the high
way, which is sixteen feet wide is
now open to the east bound traffic
1t is one of the best constructed
roads in the country. it is claimed
by the contractor since the smooth
edge of the warrenite finish, gives
the road a first class surface for
automobile traffic.
The west bound traffic continued
by the way of a detour through
Germantown. The detour road is
in good shape and being maintained
SO by the State Highway Commits
sion, while the construction of the
Lincoln Highway is put to an end.
The contractors are pushing the
work as fast as possible. The ex-
cavation of the road under cons
ing of the concrete is being pushed
at both ends Of the highway. It Is
estimated that over 600 feet Of the
road are receiving the finishing
touches every day.
A complete drainage system Is
the chief feature of the new road
work. Through the entire length
of the road. the sewer for the wa
ter is being constructed which will
eliminate a great deal of expenses
in maintaining the road in good
condition. The massive construction
will assure the good shape Of the
highway for many years.
To facilitate the traffic for the
Princeton game the Lincoln High
way will be opened for both east
and west bound traffic, 1t was de-
clared this morning by the c~ontrac-
tors.
While the Lincoln Highway is
receiving it's attention, the North
Main street of the borough Of Metu-
chen is swiftly being completed.
The work on this road has been
hammered on many occasions, ac-
cording to the contractors. The
