He was careful, too, not to meet the political mag mates ingratiating look, but stared steadily out over the landscape. ''Ycu may sell an occasional negative to a paper you know"
 'Yes, know" the political magnate replied quickly. Look here what do you want for your outfit-all of it, camera plates, ali?"
 Want for ;t?" The mans voice sounded puzzled.

 The political magnate turned his back to the sea. The moor stretched miles in front of him and beyond a few ponies, some cattle and three or four wheeling curlews, there was no sign of life. The meeting had been adroity arranged and most success fully carried out. He had arrived at com plete understanding as to his line of action in very delicate matter apart from the confusing cross currents of an unwieldy con ference. No one knew. There was not a single prying eye that had watched, not a single sensitive that had heard They had met, hammered things out and parted, and no one else was one whit the wiser.
 He looked at his watch. He would nave ample time for the run home. With luck he would arrive before the house party had dispersed after tea. He rather wanted 10 catch Parlby, his secretary, and dictate a few notes he had made the previous eve ming. Parlby would think he had evolved them that afternoon. He chuckled, thinking of his astuteness in copveying'a can or pc trol secretly from his own place. So it would appear that he had not gone more than 90 miles-if anyone were inquis;tivc enough to pry.
 Upon the quiet of the cliff head. som nolent beneath the afternoon sun, came the sudden loud noise of human sneeze.

took out large handkerchief and mopped his face. Curiously enough, although the precipitation rolled down his forehead, he felt cold and clammy.
 ''It is not mine to sell," the man told him. It is the property of his paper, the political magnate thought with a shudder. You can get as many as you like at the chemists in Coombe Regis"
 "Is cant spare the time," the political magnate cried Besides, have taken a particular fancy to yours. And the plates. That is the great inducement-I want the pictures you have taken"
 "You admire this bit of wild moorland and seal" the man asked conversationaily. ''It is very fine."
 'No I hate it. I mean-there IS a par ticuar reason why I want those records, fencing so absurdly? He must be well aware of the value of his negatives. Was he merely marking time while he deter mined the amount he would ask? "You know who I am, of course?'
 "No," said the man.
 "Whatv' The political magnate stared at him blankly. Was it possible that there was man in the country who was not acquainted with his features!
 "No, I don't know you. And I can't guess why you want the camera.''
 Look at me-" The man shifted his eyes quickly and then resumed staring. "No, l don't know you," he asserted.
 "Did you say you were going to send the photographs to paper?" The political magnate was mystified. The man seemed genuine enough in his assertion that he did not know him. But it ready was almost unbelievable. Z. IT. f

The political magnate jumped as though the report had been that of an automatic. The blood forsook his rather florid checks. He peered round in ar a..rmed way. The landscape was still empty of human life. Not soul in sight---f you deny souls to the humber members of he animal kin.y dom. Yet the sneeze was unmistakable, very human evidence. And it sounded close, quite sclose.
 granite boulder was embedded in the earth a few yards away. Was it possible that someone could remain hidden behind it? The poitica. magnate, despite the sun, suddenly felt cold. He walked briskiy round the stone. It was as he feared. The ground at the back was considerably lower than in front In the hollow propped against the granite sat man. And beside him that horrible thing, hand camera. The man was staring out over the moor. His eyes were vividly blue. He turned his head as the political magnate approached him, and then resumed his stare over the heather.
 The political magnatte thought rapidly. The wind was off shore and both the general and himself had spoken quietly. It was almost impossible that the man could nave heard anything. But the camera He lad one terrifying moment in pan,c
 ''Wonderful view" said the political mag nate affably.
 ''Wonderful" the man agreed.

 Quite good. Perhaps little too much light though" The man betrayed very slight interest. There was lack of that enthusiasm which proclaims the amateur. The political magnate's heart sank. Evi- dentlyi 4 professional opeRator;. probably

 A chance? It would be funny if t were not so horrible.

 "How sad. And you can't walk I must have that camera" He stopped with sudden impulsveness and thrust wad of notes into the mans right hand

ARSENIC IN NATURE

arsenic are to be found not only in human and animal organisms but in certain plants such as the cabbage, turnip and potato, and in wheat. Jadin and Astruc, members of the French Academy of Science, found also that arsenic is to be encountered in rice, peas, beans, lettuce, celery, asparagus, parsnip and in most vegetables used as food by man, as well as in apples, pears, pineap- ples, oranges and nuts. Since plants un- doubtedly get the elements from the soil arsenic must occur far more widely in na-

 "Pulford," he cried. "What's happened to Tom? He went off to Coombe Regis to get more plates somewhere about eleven. I guess it's about five now.'
 'Just on," Dr. Pulford replied. "Tom sprained his ankle badly coming back to you. It was long time before he made anybody hear. He's in my surgery now mad will do well.'
 The man held up his right hand with the wad of notes.
 Look at that, Doc," he said. "Some madman gave them to me and scooted with Toms camera and all. He must have come up here when I was asleep. He wasn't here when Tom left me. The beggar never found out what was the matter with me-" he added proudly.
 Good heavens" Dr. Pulford cried in astonishment. "Two hundred and fifty pounds"

CENTRAL P. 0. FOR BOROUCHS OF
CLIFFSIDE PARK and FA|RvIEW NOW
SURE THING; PAL|SADE OUT OF IT
P. o. Dept Advertising for New Quarters in Vicinity of
Cliffside P. O.; All Fairview to Benefit by Services
Dietrich and Woodcock Deserve Credit

central post Office with city de-
livery and collection service is now
assured for the boroughs of Fairview
and Cliffside Park Palisade is not
included and will continue as before
with the post Office at the Junction.
The postal authorities are now adj
vertising for new quarters in the vi
cinity of the Cliffside post office. The
new quarters must have 1000 feet
of floor space and a complete post
Office equipment according to the spec
ifications and all bids are to be sent
to Postmaster Banville of the Cliffside
post office.
The original plan was to include
Palisade, Grantwood, Edgewater
Heights, Cliffside, Hudson Heights
and Fairview and all the communities
with the exception of Palisade favor
ed the proposition. There was some
opposition in Palisade on the grounds
that the identity of Palisade would be
lost under this plan and the citizens
inconvenienced by the establishment
of central Office in the Cliffside sec
tion
Fairview did not endorse the plan
until they had assurance that the
lower section would benefit from it
and receive delivery and collection
service. Under the present plans all
of Fairview will be served.
1t is not known what disposition
will be made of the present en-
ployees in the several Offices. How
ever, there will no doubt be enough
work in connection with the new
post office to provide employment for
most of the present help with the
possible exception Of the p0srmasters.
There is little hope of having a
government building in the immedi-
ate future but ultimately it is not an
impossible thought to entertain
Councilmen Dietrich and Wood
cock deserve credit for their efforts
in causing some action to be taken
on the situation and the residents in
the lower section of the borough
must feel very grateful to these men
who opened the way for delivery serv-
ice for them.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON

At 2:15 last Sunday morning a tour

Amsterdam avenue, New York City,
collided with a Hudson River car
going west on Main street, about 100
feet west of Lemoine avenue.
Misses Gerda and Lena Forsher and
Misses Jennie and Clara Wilson, all
of Ridgetield Park, were in the tour

the driver All were taken to the po-
lice station and treated by Doctors
Crandall and Connors and later taken
to their respective homes.
The condition of the street was
very bad indeed, over two feet of ice
on the right hand side making it al
most impossible for the driver of a
car to turn off the tracks. The Pub
lie Service Corporation took pictures
about the scene of the accident
Both the driver of the car and the

Mrs. McCord Dies
In Washington

The death of Mrs. R. T. McCord, for
merly of Palisade, where she lived for
several years, was a great shock to
her many friends here. She passed
away at her home in Washing
ton, D. c., last week, where she
had lived about three years. Mrs.
McCord was a woman of peculiar
charm of personality in that she lived
her life plainly, sincerely and without
any suggestion of ostentation or social
aims. Her one ambition was in the
home, to which she devoted the best
form of service possible for woman to
render. In Palisade Mrs. McCord was
connected with church work largely,
and her earnestness in it was the ad-
with her. During the World War she
was at her severest test and gave her
self to the work of the Red Cross and
other war work with will that was an
admiration and an inspiration. Some
what frail, she never tired never halt
ed in her devotion to the cause of
country.
In her church work Mrs. McCord
was unselfish and devoted to the last
degree, and her friends missed her
kindly acts when duty made it neces-
sary for her husband to leave for
Washington where he was engaged in
Government service. But she never
let go of her devotion to Palisade. She
kept in touch with the village and
came back once or twice to see her
old friends. There is something Pc
culiarly sad about the death of this
good woman who knew no higher re-
ligion than service to God and family
Women like her are few and would
to God there were more, for she was
an example of exalted loyalty and
*aithful endeavor almost unspeakable.
She was crown to her sex, and God
bless her memory.

Senator Edge to

Trenton, March 19.-When United
States Senator Edge, on April IL,
comes to Hackensack to address the
Bergen County Republican Commit
tee, he will come to start the pre-
liminary maneuvring for his cam
paign for denomination next year.
Senator Edge is ready for that cam
paign despite the fact that in the
legislative session at Trenton he has
just sustained three distinct jolts:
The Republican Legislature ignored
his advice in favor of a single hand
State Highway Board and the Re-
publican Senate in spite of his pro-
tests confirmed a four member BIZ
partisan State Highway Board OF
Governor Silzer's choosing.
The Republican Legislature re-
jected his advice in favor of a con-
current resolution asking Congress to
modify the Volstead act, and enacted
no wet legislation of any kind
The Legislature ignored Edges ap-
peals in favor of Senator Mackay's
bill.

ASSESSOR CAVANAUCH
TALKS out PLAINLY
Tells How He Met a Queer Situa-
ton in New RatabIeS From
PaIisade Ave. Highway.

Assessor Edward Cavanaugh, head
of the Tax Assessors Office, Borough
of Fort Lee, has about completed his
figures for this year. In talk with
Palisadian representative this week
he said
"Of course, the ratables in our bor-
ough have grown greatly in the past
few years. And the borough has not
been slow in taking advantage of in
creased values and has gone ahead in
the way of expenditures, away ahead
of anything so far on the books in
borough history. In these days it
takes more money to do anything.
There is no denying that. At the
same time, there is large proportion
of our taxpayers who have been un-
willing victims to this thing of over
spending. 1t is not necessary for
me to arraign anyone, but the
tendency in the Borough of Fort
Lee is to spend the peoples
money too freely. l say this with all
due respect, too, to those who have
the spending of the money. l do not
believe they have given due consid-
Grafton in certain directions. For in
4stance. ! beliexe. we have spent al
least 100000 more on Palisade ave
nue. than was necessary. The origi.
nal bid for that piece of highway
was about S146,000, yet we find
the bill running up more than
100000 beyond those figures Why?
Well, don't ask me. But somehow |
cannot subscribe to the statement
that the main reason was because the
first estimates were built or based
upon a so-called STRAIGHT LINE
SURVEY. And l do not think very
many others believe in that because
it should never have happened that
way. A bid is bid. Anyhow, this
Palisade avenue has helped things
considerably, only it has not been an
EQUALIZED thing But the only
way we were able to meet the demand
for more money this year was to have
more assessments. We've got them
out of this new highway in increased
valuations"
How much did you raise that
way?" was asked.
Il believe about S500,000,' replied
the Assessor, enough for present
needs, if they don't forget and over
spend again"

Bergen Assessments
Up Over 100000

Through the kindness of Robert B.
Murphy, secretary of the Bergen
Board of Taxation, the Bergen Eve
ming Record has been furnished with
the following table of valuations as
prepared by the various assessors in
their respective municipalities.
The figures of Franklin township
and Saddle River township for 1922
are materially reduced this year be-
cause of the fact that a portion Of
each municipality was chopped off
and formed into the boroughs of
Franklin Lakes and Paramus.
There is a general increase in val
uation all down the line, and with an
increase of the rate per s1OO in many
places the taxpayers will have more
to pay than last year. These are the
values in total:
