TOOK up the teasing relation which had
been characteristic of them before his
Illness. A cowboy was indeed out Of
sorts when he could not vent his pecu-
liar humor on somebody or something.
Stewart had evidently beApme q broad

"Wal, the boys are sure after Gene"
said Stilwell, with his huge smile.

strange thing I ever seen."
Madeline smiled her amusement 1t
had been impossible for her to fail to
observe Stewards singular behavior.
She never went out to take her GUS
tomary walks and rides without seeing
him somewhere in the distance. She
was aware that he watched for her and
avoided meeting her. When she sat on
the porch during the afternoon or at
sunset Stewart could always be des-
cried at some point near. He idled
listlessly In the sun, lounged on the
porch Of his bunkhouse, sat whiting
the top bar of the corral fence, and
always it seemed to Madeline he was
watching her. He was pale, haggard,
drawn. His eyes held a shadow
through which shone q soft, subdued
light; and, once having observed this,
Madeline fancied 1t was like the light in
Majesty's eyes, In the dumb, Worship
Ing eyes Of her favorite stag-hound.
She told Stewart that she hoped he
would soon be in the saddle again, and
passed on her way. 4
That Stewart loved her Madeline
could not help but see. When she dis.
covered this she felt little surprise
and annoyance. Then she interrOgated
herself, and concluded that 1t was not
that Stewart was so different from his
comrades, but that circumstances made

when he had tried to force her to mar

self. She recalled subsequent mention
of him, and found 1t had been~peculiar-
ly memorable. The man and his ac-
tions seemed to hinge on events Last
ly, the fact standing clear of all others
in its'relation- to her interest was that
he had almost been ruined, almost lost,
and she had saved him. That alone
was sufficient to explain why she
thought of him differently. She had
befriended, uplifted the other cowboys;
she had saved Stewards life. To be
sure, he had been a ruffian, but
woman could not save the life Of even
a ruffian without remembering 1t with |
gladness. Madeline at length decided
her interest in Stewart was natural, |
and that her deeper feeling was pity. !
Perhaps the interest had been forced
from her; however, she gave the pity
as she gave everything.
Stewart had taken up his duties as
foreman, and his activities were cease
less. He was absent most Of the time, +,
ranging down toward the Mexican line. ,.
When he returned Shllwell sent for
him.
This was late In the afternoon of a i
day in the middle of April. Alfred
and Florence were with Madeline on

FREEZE OUT INSECT PESTS
Says an Expert on the
Subject.

The usual procedure, when flour
mills become infested with the Mediter-
ranean moth. the larvae of which get
into the flour. is to close the mill tight
ly and "gas" the insects Last winter
a mill at Williston, N. D., however, re-
quested the local weather bureau office
to notify the company whenever tenn
persture of 20 degrees or lower for at
least several hours could be antici-
pated. AS soon as weather sufficiently
cold was forecast, the company put out
all fires, and opened doors and win
dows. That night the temperature
reached 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and did
not go above II degrees Fahrenheit the
next day. According to the report Of
the company to the United States De
partment Of Agriculture, through the
weather bureau. all moths and most of
the eggs were frozen, and the process
will not have to he repeated for at
least two years. Many dollars worth
of chemical insecticides which would
have been necessary for "gassing"

END OF STRIKE LIES
IN ADOPTION OF PLAN
Proposed Plan Meets With Gen.

mission Finds Some
Fault With It.

The proposed plan of the Public
Service Corporation to bring an end
to the trolley strike is printed else
where in this issue.
This plan seems to be meeting with
the general approval of all save the
State Utility Board, who seem willing
to accept it, but only in part.
A conference will be held next
Tuesday morning in the Newark Of
fee of the Utility Commission, and all
parties interested will attend
The Utilities Board gives out the
following statement:
"The assumption by the company of
the right to suspend service until this
board and Representatives of the more
prominent municipalities give definite
assurance to cooperate with the COM
pany in establishing it's new rate of
fare. in eliminating competition of
buses, by purchase or otherwise, is
unwarranted and a menace to public
welfare. 1t amounts tc strike on
the part of the company, strike
against the public"
The strikers themselves approve of
the plan, as do the majority of the
stockholders, and number of organi-
cations and individuals of prominence
have voiced their approval.

The corporation is capitalized at
$125, 900. The property value as ap-
praised by H. B. Joyce, prominent
real estate dealer in Grantwood, is
$1,000 The present building as it
stands today represents an actual ex-
penditure of $4,000, and the theatre
when completed will cost $S5,000, Civ
ing total of $151, 900 actual physical

MIR. Lem Gets More
Than His Share

Following is rather clever and
humorous account of the unfortunate
experience of Henry Lem, a citizen
of Grantwood, taken from the col
lumns of the Hudson Dispatch of
Wednesday morning:
Henry Lem, young Chinese
American, of 94 Washington avenue,
Grantwood, found himself in a pecu-
liar situation yesterday afternoon
when he looked at his hands and
found a summons in each palm. He
must have decided that it was a
cruel world as Bergen County Traf-
fic Officer Braun jumped to his mo-
torcycle and sped off along the
macadam road.
"How in the world did the young
Chinaman get two tickets is the
question which no less than several
hundred Grantwood residents asked
when they learned of the incident.
This is the same query that many
others will ask when they learn
about the issuing of the slips.
ut was learned that Lem was driv-
ing REQ truck for Grant
wood contractor along Gorge road.
There was only one license plate on
the machine. Another truck follow
ed, and there were no plates in evil
dence on this machine.
"The traffic officer was in the vi
cinity and he detected the trucks. He
rode in front of the car manoeuvred
by Lem, put up his hand, and the
contractors cars stopped dead.
Lem produced his drivers license
but could not furnish the owners Ii
cense for the truck. The conse-
quences were that the officer wrote
him a ticket Henry took IT calmly,
thinking it much better to accept it
quietly.
Machine No. was standing di-
rectly behind the REQ truck. 1t was
a Ford. The man who had been drlv-
ing it stood at the side. crowd
gathered He slipped into the crowd.
who was driving this machine"
asked Braun. No one replied but
presently, according to information
of a bystander, the lad who had been
in charge of the car, pointed at Lem
and said he was driving the truck.
Lem said nothing. The cop pro-
duced his pad and wrote out another
summons. Yes, sir. The same name,
the same age, the same address, and
in fact everything the same as on
the other slip, but the charge this
time was for operating machine
without license plates. The recipient
of the first ticket was handed the
other summons.
Evidently someone had informed
the chauffeur that it was not the
best thing to argue with an officer
of the law, for the youth was calm.
"The cop then sped off in quest of
more alleged violators of the law.
"The summonses called for Henry
LENS appearance before Judge
James Moore in the Traffic Court at
the county building in Hackensack
next Monday night"

Once Nor .ei ID

It is certain that the limits of Lake
Erie and Lake Michigan were once
more extended than now. 1t is reason
ably probable, say students of the
subject, that some of the territory now
drained by the Wabash and Illinois
rivers was once covered by the waters
of Lake Michigan. The cisco of Lake
Tippecanoe. Lake Geneva. and the
lakes of the 0canemowoc chain is
evidently a modified descendant of the
so-called lake herring. IT'S origin most
likely dates from the time when these
small deep lakes of Indiana and Wis
consin were connected with Lake Mich
igan. Several of the larger fishes,
properly characteristic of the Great
Lakes region. are occasionally taken
in the Ohio river.

TWO GIRLS LEAP FROM
AUTO IN W. PALISADE
Residents Startled by Screams
Sunday Morning; Were At

men who, before this particular eve-
ming, were unknown to them. They
saw the sights in the park with two
of the newly made acquaintances, and
about 1880 expressed a desire to 20
home. The men volunteered to drive
them home in their car, and after join
their other two companions the party
of six started off.
Instead of taking the girls home
they drove to West Palisade, and in

first to jump from the car, but she
was not injured, and, screaming,
chased the car for short distance.
1t did not stop, so she walked to An
derson avenue, where a passing mo-
torist took her as far as the bus line,
by which she returned to her home in
Jersey City.
The other girl had attempted to

PLAN TO SOLVE MAP
PROBLEM DECIDED ON
Will Submit to Mayor and Coun-
Gil; Imperative, Says
Post.

On Thursday evening of last week
Collector Post, Engineer McClave,
Auditor Wright, Assessor Timony and
Attorney Agnew met in the borough
hall to go over the muddled map sit
uation and find remedy.
The meeting resulted in the follow
ing plan, which will be recommended
to the mayor and council on Monday

First.-Create tax assessment
map, double the scale of the sewer
assessment map now being used, to be
completed as of October /, 1928 This
map to contain house numbers, show
type of building, sewers, municipal i'm
provements, water mains, hydrants,
gas lines and the name of the original
property map covering each develop
ment.
Second-To create a history of the
changes in block and lot numbers.
Third-To reconcile block and lot
numbers on all assessment maps with
this borough map. so that all out
standing taxes and assessments can
be properly allocated
FOurth.-After this has been done
and proper record of the outstand
ing taxes and assessments against
each lot has been created a tax sale
should be held, so as to protect the
borough's liens on all delinquent
items
Mr.. Post says the foregoing can be
done inside of three months, and he
adds that it is absolutely essential if
the s230,000 due the borough in out
standing taxes and assessments are to
be properly collected

The tree from which the ancient
Egyptians obtained their papyrus
f1ourished in the lowlands along the
Nile river. 1t grew to a height of
about ten feet, and seems to have been
known only in Egypt. The paper OBJ
tanned from it was formed from a sort
of inner bark. which consisted of thin
sheets growing around the wood.
Various colored liquids were used
for ink; these were usually black, but
sometimes red or green. A species of
lamp-black, or ivory-black, similar to
that used in painting In modern times,
