'mprovement of Broad Street
Will be Started in Near

i
MATAWAN, March 2—The ex- |
tension of Board street on the 1
southerly end of tho present street!
will be started in the immediate
tu'ure. For the past several years
[he borougn council has contemplat
ed the opening or this section of
‘hat street, but many delays have
occurred which has held up work I
'nom time to time. At the council I
meeting last night, however, actual '
progress was made toward the |
naming of this mneli needed street.!
Mayor William ir. Sutohin called |
Al lie matter to I he attention of the I
and said that, as lor. is,
need for tho street it should
l>o opened at once, and asked foi !
suggestions. Many property owners
who will be affected were present at
he meeting, but not one objected
to the street being put through.
The question arose as to -whether or
not the street should be run on the
westerly or easterly side of the
property In Valley drive, known as
the Llsk property. This resulted in
a discussion by tho council and the
-ltizens and it was finally admitted
that the most benefit could bo ob
tained both by property, owners and
the borough by running the. street i
ynn the easterly side of this property. !
' Upon motion it was decided to |
place the matter in the hands of the
street committee with power to |
employ an engineer to make survey -
of the proposed street and to have i
all legal matters in shape so that
the council can take some definite
action in tho matter at the next
meeting. It was decided that, two
maps be made, one showing the ex
tension of the street on the easterly
aide of the Lisk property and tlie
ather showing the extension of the
. westerly side of the property. The
council will then choose which is
the most desirable course fur the
extension of Broad street.

Begin Here Today
FAY 1UDOR, wealthy orphan,
suffers a nervous breakdown in
Franc.. aftrr the news of the death
in battle of her brother
\Y!LBUR. and returns to the Tudor
estate on Sandy Cove. She is met
by her aunt, an attractive widow,
MRS. CLARa fl'UOI!, and the lat
ter’s daughter
LAUREL. The summer colony is
frightened bv the report of a “wild
inai:" whom Fav believes she lias
*>ccm peering in the windows of
the Tudor estate. Sheriff lJulsc
and his friend,
Si-.LEANT JOHN BARRY, a New
York detective, investigate. Fu>
is attracted by the personality ot
CAPTAIN WARREN, her brother’s
friend, who was with Wilbur when
he fell. Or* the night of Mrs. Tu
dor’s dance,
KENNETH CLaYTON, wealthy phil
anthropist. who in thought to be
in love with Mrs. Tudor, proposes
to Fay. 8he rejects him. After
the dance, Lautf.‘fe,confcrsses to Fay
that she is in love with
HARRY CADMUS, an old love of
Fay’s but for whom she no longer
cares. Fay congratulates Laurel,
wishes her happiness and the two
girls prepare to retire. An ap
proaching storm prompts Laurel
to cl ewe the windows.
Go on With tlic Story
“Oil, v/e nurt havq the air!" Fay
protested. "Jf you are cold in the
night—’
"Night!" Laurel exclaimed with a
little laugh. “It’s almost morning!
On, Fay, deal. 7’m so glad you don’t
caro about—about Harry and me!
There have been times when I al
most hated you! Will you forgive
mo for being so horrid to you in my
thought.4?”
Fay laughed.
"Or course, dear. I wish you and
Harry all the happiness in the world.
G >od night.”
* * *
It. was nearly ne on the next day
when Martha opened the door softly
and entered with the breakfast tray.
Outside the wind swirled through
the tree*? and a hard, driving rain
slanted in at the opened windows.
Witi a slave' the maid placed the
tray up . n the. table and went over
to clow the windows. As she passed
ire b*d upon which Fay lay the
girl stirred sleepily and turned over,
but did not awaken,^ and from the
other bed there came no sound'or
ip ovement.
The younger girl was lying on her
side with one arm thrown up over
her head, which was almost buried
in tlm pillows, and her dark hair
fell over the side cl' the bod nearly
to the floor.
Martha hesitated for a moment
and tnen touch* d the bare arm light
!v.
The next ir.stan* she had recoiled
foi the arn was icy cold, and now
for tne iirst time she noticed that
a strange bluish shade had crept
over tiie fair sk‘nT
Laurel's lips had fallen slightly
apart, her »*v *s were half unclosed
and showed dull and glassy to the
other’s horrified gi’.ze. while over the
piquant feat jres tinged with that
same hideous blnisp pallor, it seemed
as tnough a band had been passed
robbing then., of -pi expression.
"Miss Lnuiel!" The words envnc
in n strangle l whisper from Martha’s
]i|*s. ".Miss Lai rcl. what is the mat
ter? I*peak *o me!"
Ilev voice died away in )pt throat
and die laid her trembling hand for
a moment on the girl’n breast. Then j
wish a hnlf-stifl- ’ **ry she turned and
fled from tim room and down the j
stairs.
CHAPTER V
An hour oeiure noon, MieniL juiikc
and Sergeant John Barry described
the station ear of the Tudors ap
praachirg them at a speed which
aroused ail the former's professional
l enthusiasm. He stepped out into the
| road with m authoritatively uprais
ed hand and Frank came to a grind
ing stop.
“I an. after Doctor Green, sheriff” <
“What's u i?”
“Don’t know myself, but, accord
ing to Martha it’s sudden death and
look's uncommonly like murder.”
•‘Minder.” Tin* sheriff looked at
hi. companion “Guess wc will both
go right along with you, Frank.”
The two official*; climbed into the
machine, and, as Frank started off
again. -SheriT Hulsc asked:
"Teil us about it , One of the
t guests of the party last night found
I dead in the grounds?”
“No; it’s Mis* Tudor herself—Miss
! Laur.J Tudoi When Martha took
ck'-colfte upstairs to the two young
ladies just now she found Miss
1 Fay all rigid, but she couldn’t wake
| the ether one, and then discovered
that che was (h ad. She didn’t wait
to disturb Mrs Tudor, but ran down.
! stairs to cook, and they decided to
i have me go for Doctor Green.”
| A fe.. words sufficed to explain
the situation to the country practi
tioner, and ho joined them in the
Tudor car. They found Martha,' the i
cock, and Louise awaiting them ^n |
th side porch.
In the meantime Fay. who had !
stirred at Martha’s first entrance, i
found that sleen would not return to I

ng no reply, decided that she would
permit her ccusiii to sleep undis
u. bed.
i'urely La ircj was lying in a pe
•u'ian.x uncomfortdh'e position! Her
v. ,i.l \v,s hanging sc far over, and i
• Mild it bo that she was cold? There
a .is a peculiar bluish tinge to the
lesh of her arm.
S.-airily knowing what prompted i
he quick ha’f-suff oca ting sensation j
>f alarm which caught her by the j
throat, l ay threw herself out of bcil I
ind ay.plot;died that still figure.
Her work in the devastated re
5-oils cf Fra ice had brought her into
contact with d*-ath in so many vio
let t. hideous forii a that one glance
sufficed to tell her the truth. With
a wotf*less cry of ho.Tor she slipped
unconscious to the floor.
"Wnat is -he matter, Martha?* i
tho physician asked. "Frank tells
me that M?s« Luu;el is dead.”
"Yes, doctir! She Is lying there •
jiiot ns though «he were asleep, tin- |
til you get i gliijlf'Se of her face!
It'^ i'l ldue-ttk*- and horrible.”
"Has Mrs. Tudor been awakened? ■
Dot s I «• I.1I0W:”
"f didn’t da re! Will you come up
now. Kir?”
'tin- rj<y t.u- nodded and followed
tie girl upst ihs irat silent room ;
w I li the mo’.ionlc -s figure upon the i
bed and the senseless one beside it. ;
"llolk. w int ha vi* we here? Miss ,
F; \ mml have been told. Help me I
lift hir, Martha. Is there-a spare j

"Yen, right next door to the one I
purr Mr. Wilbur used to occupy.”

borne from tr.o room the doctor bent
over the body lying on the bed.
Jle straightened, and there was a
peculiar hard glint in the direct gaze
which lie bent upon tlie servant.
"is it the usual thing for Miss
Laurel and her ci usin to sleep to
gether? They always share the
sumo room?’’
••Yes. Since Miss Fay’s return
from 1'ranee they have occupied this
ro m together, just as they always
did when they were little girls.”
•'bo they always sleep with the
windows closed like tills?”
“So. wide open. 1 closed them |
myself when 1 brought the chocolate
in this morning because tlie rain
was beating in frightfully.”
"You are sure of that, Martha?
You arc positive liiat the windows
w1 re wile onen all right?"
"Positive!” Muitha gazed at him
foi a mumen' in astonishment, and
then approached the nearest of the
windows. "See. the carpet and cur
tains arc still sopping wet. doctor.
W'l.-it .tas happened to Miss Laurel?”
‘■She is dead, Martha, and has been
to> some ho tr«. 1 think I will go
now a’lc liavt a look at Miss Fay.”
Lay had regained consciousness
and was seat’d upon the side of tlie
bed, wrapped in u dressing gown.
Her hands re riasped tightly to
gether ami she was staring straight
before her as the ugh scarcely con
s nous of tlie presence of Barry and
ti.c sheriff, who hovered in the
doorway.
The latter turned to the physician.
“Anything suspicious about it.
doctor’ Anything in my line of
w irk’”
"Yes. That peculiar bluish tinge
wr.ii ii l.as suffused the entire sur
face of the skin. We find that usual
ly in cases of asnhyxiatlon. an hy
pothesis manifestly impossible in
this i.isittnee. sine.- there was no il
luminating o: ccal pas in the room,
tlie w ndoWs vet wide open, and the
other occupant. Miss Fay, here,
•seems to have been quite unaf
fe •ted.”
Doctor Green drew a chair up to
liic btdside and possessed himslf of
one of Fay's cold, l'stless hands.
"My dear, what can you tell me
of Ihls? Di x anything disturb you
during the 1 ight?”
•Nothing. D was quite late, near
ly morning whet the dance broke up
and the guests left. Being in
mourning, you knew. 1 did not ap- ?
pear, but the lights and music and ;
general hustle kept me awake, and 1
when Laurel ranfts upstairs we had |
quite a long talk. She was in the
very best of r ealth and spirits, doc
toi; in fac t, I remember that she said
she had never l*eer so happy before
in all 1 ei life! I!as Aunt Clara

”Xo, and it must bp done lin
mtdii'.ely. Do you feel strong enough
to go to lii-r?”
Pay hesitated but only for a mo
ment. Then the old indomitable
spirit came to her rescue.
•‘I will »o. Doctor Green.”
The girl went slowly down the hall
and op«red her aunt’s dour.
“Why, Fay. how you startled me!
is anything the matter? Is Laurel
111?”
Fay trok Toth her aunt's trem
