SEAGIRT. N. J. Sept 14.—Gov.
Wilson last night declared that when
he saw Gov. Dix at Syracuse Wed-
nesuay he gave him no assurance ot
support. This deciaratoin was coll-
ed forth by a published report that
such assurances were given. Oov.
Wilson bad nothing more to say on
the New York situation.
A Syracuse dispatch says that
democrats in charge of the arrange-
ments for Gov. Wilson's visit took
exception to his statement that had
he known the State Commitee and
epunty chairmen were to have met
there he would probably not have
accepted the invitation.
Gov. Dix is quoted as saying he

"I’m forced to rate your water

Dr. Carrick, inspector in the Holland
Magazine Clean City contest, while
here the other day—a statement
that "listens good” to all who have
contended that no city in the world
had purer or more wholesome water
than we. He also confided to some
that Denton's drainage was execept
tonally good, and that Denton's
homes were not only weir kept as a
genera) thing, but that there were
more good homes of from 13500 up
than almost any city of the same
size he bad ever seem. Dr. Carrick
refused abslutely to comment,
though, on one phase of the city,
and that was the condition of the
streets behind the business section
of the city. His silence was elo-
quent along that line and we be-
.ieve it can be said if Denton does

it they might ride with him. He didn't

happened to him before,

had too much,
vance, a bill which, in the light of a
smoky kerosene stable lamp later,
turr.ed out to be ten dollars, but that,
too, had happened to Bill before when
he had given a lift to a "souse.”
They rode what Bill judged to be
about two miles, and got out at a path
evidently leading to a house, Just be-
fore coming to a small bridge. He
remembered the bridge distinctly.
They had called "good-night” to him.
One of them, he thought, spoke in
German. Ho had ceased to think of
tbe incident until he saw tbe row the
newspapers had kicked up about a
young woman having been, presuma-
bly, abducted from a place in that
vicinity on that very morning. He
had hesitated about informing the
police, because he didn't want to get
mixed up 'bout nothing when he
wasn’t sure 'bout nothing, and didn't
know nobody ; and he couldn't be i

of her. It’s growing cold"—he shiv-
ered, but the breeze that came in waa
hot and sultry—"and ahe has only one
shoe. Loulie, does shd know how to
use that revolver?"
"She can plug a dime at fifty
yards,” I replied, remembering that
somebody at the club once said he
would like to see her plug a dime at
fifty yards.
"Then why didn't she shoot V he
demanded auddeniy.
"It's an awful thing to ahoot a
man, now, isn't it?” I demanded
turn. "Even,if he la a thief?”
"Great Lord, no. when ahe’a in
danger; it’s self-defense.”
"Well, that’s the way I’d feel about
it, and that's the way she would, too.
Perhaps when she realized there was
danger it was too late.”
He was exasperated with me. ’ He
couldn’t see that a woman’s mind
works differently from a man's. He
came close to me after a moment,
drew me into his arms and placed a
very brotherly kiss upon my fore-
head.
“Women,” he said softly, “women
are angels.”
The worst continued to happen.
Just at that particular instant Hap
banged on the door and. without wait-

awfully awkward situation. There
