Then they would sit down a little self-consciously, avoiding each other's eyes, but each one tilled with a sense of expectancy. It was at the fourth little supper for two that George put his hand across the table. "Let's go on this way forever, dear," be said eoaxingly. of the whole movement, and under the guise of a military commander, INVITING FATAL ACCIDENTS. Road Supervisor Thier again reminds us, in his exhaustive report to the Board of Freeholders on the growing business of inter-state and intra-state omnibus lines in Bergen County: First, that the law now requires, in the case of intrastate buses, that the owner shall file an insurance policy of only $5,000 for each vehicle, no matter, how many passengers it may carry.

Second, that the inter-state bus lines are not locally regulated and are not required by law to insure against accidents, though some of them may be doing so voluntarily. Third, that schedules in some cases call for a speed of forty miles an hour or more on the Bergen County and other highways of the state. These facts are more important even than the subject of taxation which the Supervisor also discusses. Though they are alarming and have been known to the lawmakers for a long time, scant attention is paid to them during the sessions at Trenton. Five thousand dollars would not go far in liquidating the damages likely to result if an omnibus, full of passengers, traveling at a speed of forty or more miles an hour, struck another bus, a pleasure automobile or some solid obstruction.

Nearly every owner of a small car carries insurance of for possible injuries to one or more persons. Usually nobody does anything about such reckless transportation until a bad accident occurs and then the Senators and the Assemblymen fall over themselves to draw and pass a remedial law. Several persons were burned to death before regulations were adopted calling for rear exits. Mr. Thier is trying to warn us in time.

Then Senor Nayland used his last cartridge he felt for more in the black box.

but there were none. He was angry, and pushed the box away from him, so that it fell on the ground. At that moment a bullet struck General Zumaya In the head, and he fell-close to the box. At first he was not unconscious, he moved, and he spoke a little, but we could not tell what he was saying." "It was then, just as we Imagined that all was over with us. that there was the sound of a volley being fired, and the soldiers of General Zumaya came not a moment too soon.

The other soldiers, they ran away, except some who wer captured. So came our relief." "When we looked around ws thought General Zumaya dead. He lay quite still, and the curious thing was that his hand held the little black box. There was a surgeon among the soldiers who rescued us, he examined Zumaya. and told us he was not yet dead, and there might yet be a chance for him to live." eSnor Valdez then went on to explain that umaya was taken to the hospital, where he lay for sev-eral weeks In a critical condition, unconscious for the greater part of the time.

Ultimately, with the help of skilful surgery and nursing, he recovered. "But, by that Senior Valdez, "Senor Nayland and I had departed from San Miguel. The Senor Nayland left the day after the fight. In fact, he had come to us for his farewell dinner. And I bid adieu to my nephew three weeks afterwards.

Just before I left my nephew was giving me messages to take to my family at Hernani. when, by chance, he looked at the little box on the table. And a thought came into his mind.

This box, he said, had been presented to his nephew by General Zumaya, It stook on a table In his room, and he, used It to keep cigarros In. "Did he know there was probably a secret division In it?" asked the Major. Senor Valdez shook his head.

It lies along the express highway for vehicular traffic through the Holland tunnels; It adjoins four trunk line railroads: It has docks for shipping goods to all parts 'of the world. What more could an airport want? Mr. Glover does not say so, but In his words may be descried a willingness to see In a Newark airport buy a little home of our own way out somewhere, and anyhow, we see Merchants who do business In Houndsdlteh, an East End London street, wish the name changed because they claim its unsavory reputation hurts their business.

The three men, having finished their meal, were sitting in the patio over their coffee and cigarros, when they heard shots being tired, and shouting. The next minute General Zumaya and Manoel Garcia came running up, crying out they had been cut off in a street skirmish, and were being pursued by what they called revolutionary troops. All this happened at the juncture when Don Uonzolez had assumed the president, the late president had escaped, but order had not yet been restored, and there was still desultory lighting between stray parties of the contending factions. "What could one do?" said Valdez, throwing down his hands, "one could not see one's friend shot down in cold blood, even if one did not wish to take side My nephew at once invited them into his house, and we closed the doors just as the revolutionaries came into view, round the corner of a street.

"Jersey Justice" has in part atoned for the needless killing of Beatrice Meaney in the seige between her family and State Troopers.

Yesterday the three men convicted of manslaughter and assault and battery in her death appeared for sentence before Judge Robbins, in Fj'lcmington. Lieutenant Rogers, leader of the troopers on the fatal night, was sentenced to five years in state prison. He was also fined $1,000. Trooper Larson, first to fire on the Meaneys, was also sentenced to five years on two counts, in addition to a $1,000 fine. Trooper Daley, who beat a prisoner, must pay a similar fine and spend two years in prison.

Out in the cool peaceful country she found rest for her jaded nerves. Each day brought her fresh energy and soon she was happy again, yet she counted the days until she could get back to George. One night as she lay in bed in the dark thinking about him, she laughed aloud as she caught herself longing who will do as well. throuahout the state.

It is hard to reconcile the statements of W. C.

Bridgeman, leader of the British delegation at the Geneva naval conference, relative to the cruisers with the facts. According to the cables the British spokesman claimed that his government had been forced into the construction of the heavy type cruiser. But the fact seems to be that it was England which forced the United States and Japan into a course which they do not seem to have contemplated. At the Washington conference the cruiser was made permissable but it was not mandatory upon any of the signatory powers to build. It seemed then rather unlikely that there would ever be such a vessel.

But England started to build them and it was not until it had such ships well toward completion that the United States and Japan started on the same course. At no time since has either of the two nations approached England in the number of such cruisers built. It is certain that none of the other powers started the building race and what "forced" England to construct them is not easily determined. It is not to be denied that the large cruisers appear to be effective and serviceable, but they have become almost as expensive as big battleships. I A.1 ir.

Such renowned aquatic stars as Ernst Vierkoeter, Charles Toth, Olax Farstad and others were obliged to leave the water after comparatively limited exertion. Only Edward H. Keating, the 24-year-old New Yorker, and one other man were able to approach their goal, Keating's victory, although a surprise to many, was a triumph of youth. Only a giant's strength could have withstood the rigors of the ordeal.

The failure of the others is rather easily explained. Most of them had been used to salt water swimming, in which the buoyancy of the water aided in keeping them afloat Caught in the icy currents of the mountain stream and spring-fed Lake George, they soon became exhausted. The Lake George swim was arranged for publicity purposes, but it proved to be far more of an endurance test than the competitors believed. Young Keating therefore deserves high praise for his ability to conquer in the gruel-line race. lrrWf- UOOONMI Stud 1 A I I A VI 1 I WOl 1 WN(Mr WJ.
