and when you come back I'll tell

Bobby ran out into the kitchen,
opened the oven door just little
bit, then turned,s took a wisp
from a broom and tried the cake
to see If it was done. The wisp
came out smooth and Slick, so
Bobby knew it was time to take
the cake out of the oven, which
he did, and then came running
back to me.
1T was more than a thousand
years ago, Bobby, when the Vik-
tngs, or Norsemen-the men from
Denmark, Norway and Sweden
were the terror of England. They
used to come in their great ships
across the sea, burn houses and
capture and carry off women and
children, and it was with great
difficulty that the Englishmen
drove them out.
"Th6 King of England at this
time was Alfred the Great. So
splendid was he that his subjects
called him Alfred, the Truth
teller and Alfred, the Wise
"It was during one of the in.
vasions by the dreaded Norsemen
that Alfred was almost captured
by them and fled for safety into
the cottage Of a swine herd.
"The great King asked If he
could rest there awhile and the
swineherd's wife said:

though Soeur ste. Luice were
reading something out of a book.
Marise could not seem to put
her mind on it, and when she
did, she could not understand 1t.
Soeur Ste. Lucie went on, but
by the mercy Of God, I had just

wildly, starting from the fasci-

Marise looked at her hard. She
had no idea whether she was
being told the truth, or some
kind invention which they
thought suitable for her to hear.
"Can't I go to see her at the
convent?" she asked in a whis-
per. giving up the first point.
''oh. yes. yes, my darling, any

A T last we are beginning to
IA see the new Autumn mod
- els and to realize that
satin is to be much in vogue.
Crepe back satin, charmeuse
and flat crepe are among the
popular choice, and the preference
runs In colors to black. How
ever, one finds exquisite gowns
created from moleskin satin, coffee
shades and also dull reds for after
noon wear.

mer season, or those that barely
suggested a sleeve, are the latest
ones that flow gracefully to the

rim or the tight directoire type.
Sleeves that are puffed below the
elbow also introduce a new note.
The long sleeves will give the
woman with stout or unshapelv
arms an opportunity to cover them
to advantage.
The skirts Of the new satin
frocks are draped rather elabor-
ately, for this wondrous material
allows itself to be lifted into gen.
tie loops. Long pointed panels
that hang below the regular skirt
are again featured, and buckles
are seen on many Of the smartest
frocks.
Buttons are used profusely on

market stop to ask her details.

greedy eagerness, her eyes shin-

Marise did not, as a rule, en-
joy Jeanne's interest in murders
and deaths and Kidnapping, but
this time she welcomed 1t and
passed on to the old woman all
she could remember Of what
Soeur Ste. Lucie had told her.
Jeanne was much disappointed:

all probability the government will
take that step.
Hear j. Spencer Smith
J. Spencer Smith, prominent with
the Port Authority of New York
and member of the State Board of
and Navigation also spoke
briefly on behalf of the measure.
He took occasion to refute the argu-
ment that the Morris canal funds
should be used for the state school
fund.
He argued that if the funds were
put to work on the canal project.
in years to come the state schon
fund would be materially increas-
ed.
Colonel Edward Brown, prominent
southern engineer, who has had
charge of the construction of canals
in that portion of the country, de-
clared that if New Jersey does not
see fit to go ahead with the ether
states and sense the importance ana
value of a canal, the whole system
will be minimized.
Colonel Brown declared that New
Jersey will have the benefit now Of
decreased cost of construction. A
few years ago, with more or le3n
methods of excavation, he SAID
that the cost now would be substan-
TALLY less.
At the conclusion of the hearing
it was announced by the committee
members that the bill would be
