Phillips mother plans to give a
party hoping to interest her son in
some other girl. She unconsciously
interests Phillip In Lyra Hlliard, an
old friend of hers. who is coming tc
visit and will stay over for the
party.
Without his mothers knowledge
Phil plans to bring Malice to the
party through his friend, Rodney
Maxwell.
Meanwhile Phillip meets Mrs. Hill
lard at the train and takes her 10
luncheon. Shortly he finds he has
fallen in love at first sight with this
woman who is much older than
himself and hopes Malice will decide
not to come to the party after all
After that first kiss on a mid
night ride Phillip only lives when ha
is with Lyra Hillard and they make
arrangements to go riding together
again after the party to which Nat
lee surprises every one by coming.
The young girls at the party are
Jealous and criticize Mrs. Hillard
for dressing too young.
Malice explains to Phil why she
came and later overhears Mrs. Hill
lard asking his permission to call
him by his middle name.

CHAPTER XVI
Mrs. Tracy Enlists Lyra's Aid
Phillip Tracy looked carefully
around to see what Natlee on the
other side of him was doing. He
concluded that she could have heard
nothing for she was composedly

not do it but l cannot help setting
you apart IN my life. When I am
old l will take out these golden
memories set with the jewel OF your
love and forget that ! am never to
know youth again"
Malice did not dare to listen any
longer SO she turned again to Rod
who was chuckling.
Whats the joke, Rodney-let me
into it," she coaXed.

me what l thought of Mrs. Hillard

said-1 think she is a very sweet
woman
she answered, That's what I
think about her, too - don't like
her either"
Sometimes" thought Malice "one
enjoys knowing there are cats that
can scratch"
The conversation about the table
began to grow more general and
soon the party was ready to depart
to the Biltmore Cascades to dance.
Natlee made the excuse that she
was afraid of taking cold in the
roadster ard Mrs. Hilliari unscl-
fishly Offered TO give up her place
in the Tracy limousine.

When Old Man Coyote. after see
ing the strange footprints in the
mud on the shore of the pond of
Paddy the Beaver. had started for
scared wolf. Yes, sir. Old Coyote
was a scared wolf. He wanted to get
home and he wanted to get there
quickly. So he Travelled right along,
did Old Man Coyote. Every now and
then he turned his head to look
back of him. as if he expected an
enemy of some sort.
He had reached the edge of the
Old Pasture where the ground was
a little swampy, and there he sud-
denly came upon another footprint.
Old Man Coyote stared at that foot
print as if he were seeing a ghost.
Yes. sir. that was the way he stared
at that footprint. 1t hadn't been
made very long. Old Man Coyote
put his nose down to it and shifted
gently. With that sniff a strange
feeling swept all over him. He for
got all about being frightened by
the strange footprints in the Green
Forest. He forgot that there was a
stranger whom he feared. He just
put his nose straight up and yelped
rs only Old Man Coyote can. Then
he cooked his head to one side and
listened.
But this time there was no reply
There was no reply at all. Old Man
Coyote tried it again. And again
there was no reply. Then Old Man
Coyote began to LOOK about eager
ly. He found another one of those
footprints, but it was very faint.
Presently he found more They
were scattered here and there and
most of them were rather faint, as
il the one who had made them had
been very light footed and had
been walking very easily. With his
nose to the ground Old Man Coy
ote began to follow them.
After while Old Man Coyote
found himself up near his own home
in the Old Pasture. There were
rocky lodges and the ground was
dry. There were no footprints, nor
could he find the scent OF the
stranger. Old Man Coyote ran
around eXcitedly. but in spite of all
his running about he could find no
trace of the stranger Finally he sat
down on Lis own doorstep and again
that ueer-sounding voice Of his
went ringing across the Green
Meadows and through the Green
Forest. 1t was little different from
his usual cry. Peter Rabbit noticed
it. So did several others OF the little
people. There was Il note of lone
illness in 1t such as they had not
heard since Old Man Coyote first
came to the Green Meadows to
live. There was note of loneliness
and a note of longing. But his call
wasn't answered.
Then. as Old Man Coyote sat there
on his doorstep there came TO him
the memory of the footprints over
in the Green Forest. and he sudden
" looked about him nervously. II
shouldn't have called like that
thought Old Man Coyote NO, sir,
shouldn't have called like that.

prints over In the Green Gorest may

DIR. FISH FIREMAN
AT PECK HOME
Sees Smoke Coming From
Under Porch-Sub-
dues the Blaze.

DR.. Clyde NJ. Fish, local physi-
clan, turned fireman yesterday af-
ternoon when he noticed smoke is
suing from beneath the porch at
the residence of Mrs. Charles Peck,
1908 Broad street.
The doctor, who happens TO be a
member Of Volunteer Fire Company
No. l, secured a fire extinguisher
which he always carries in his car,
and subdued the flames, which had
been started in a pile of rubbish
under the porch, it is thought by
a cigarette.
Meanwhile the local fire depart
ment had been called and respon-
ded. When it arrived, members
found the doctor had done his work
well and their services were not
required. Mrs. Peck is the widow
of the late Councilman.
Firemen also responded TO fire
at a dump on the Old Turnpike
yesterday afternoon late.

Police Purchase
Alleged Liquor
Nayl0r Declares He Will Issue
Warrant for Hall Cafe
Proprietor.
NEAR HEADQUARTERS

When the owner of the Hall cafe,
which opened its doors next to the
Police headquarters in Red Mems
hall on First street few days ago.
selected that site, he made a
mistake, that is, if he is in the
business chief Of police Naylor de
clares him to be in.
Police officers from the local
force visiting the cafe yesterday
said they purchased alleged whis-
key, which, Naylor declares, has
been analysed, and contains 40 per
cent alcohol, which means, he con
tinues, that it is 80 per cent proof.
Warrants, Chief Naylor further
declares, will be issued for Robert
Brady, of Wildwood, who has been
named by Naylor as the alleged
proprietor of the cafe.
The cafe, which advertised
specialities in businessmen's lunch
cons, stews, ETC., was fixed up with
a long counter, and seemed to
resemble the old time bar room of
the days before prohibition. Food.
and, according to Chief Naylor,
other beverages, was served over
the counter.

WILL TAX ALL GAS
STATIONS AFTER 1927
Registration Fee of 81 Will
Be Collected by State

Calling the inspectors of his
department into conference here
today, State Motor Vehicle Com
missioner William L. Dill ordered
them to begin a survey of the mum
Der and location of gasoline sta
tons throughout the State. 1t is
estimated that there are about 28,-
600 such stations in New Jersey.
The information has become neces-
sary, he explained, because of a
provision of new law which re-
quires the payment of 81. regis
tration fee by gasoline stations.
Collection of the fees win begin
on January /, next.
Under a recent ruling by Attor-
ney General katzenbach. which
Commissioner Dill brought to the
attention of the conference, auto
lists from outside the State would
be allowed fifteen day reciprocity
privilege for each of as many cars
as they own. Heretofore the prac-
tice has been to allow only fifteen
days to an individual or corpor-
alton, regardless of the numbers of
cars.

Councilmen Say
Award Was OK.
Confident Supreme Court VIII
Uphold Their Purchase of
Fire Engine
DECISION COMES IN MAY

Absecon Councilmen, and City
Solicitor Sedell. are confident that
the supreme court will uphold the
decision Of the attorney that they
had a right TO purchase a fire
engine on a CLOSED" specification
plan when that court makes a
decision at its first session in May.
According to information reach
ing the city, the court has granted
an application for a writ of
certiorari in favor of group of
taxpayers. who are opposing the
awarding of contract to the La
France firm by city council.
Opponents of the fire engine
award want to know whether coun-
Gil was within its rights in award
ing the contract on "closed"
specifications. a group represented
by former Judge John j. McMullin
says that the council was not with
in its rights in awarding that bid.
Council, supported by its Solicitor,
and acting on his advice, says it
is.
The fire engine. purchased and
placed in the Oaks Fire company
building, reached the city several
days ago. 1t is now being tested
out before being accepted.
In statements made following the
Council meeting when the award
was made public, Attorney Seden
declared that. Council acted within
the law in making the award as it
did.

That is Salem.
municipalities throughout this
