Patterson. In his lap lay a forlorn
black heap whose name was Chicot
Billinger was speecnless. He rose
and took one step toward the door.
Flight was his purpose. Nothing else
was left him now. Too latel At that
very instant Miss Mayhem entered the
room. A handkerchief was pressed to
her eyes, and If there had been sufEi-
cient light 1t could have been seen
that they were red. Billinger stood
miserably aside. Patterson advanced
proudly to the middle of the room,
but before he could speak the poodle
leaped from his arms and rushed with
joyous yelps upon his mistress.
Patterson was clothed in a proud
humility. and as he opened his mouth
to speak Billinger shuddered in his
dim corner by the door.
"I-er-er," suffered Patterson. Teri

afraid should never see him again.
But where-how, oh, tell met / beg
you" Billinger waited as waits the
convicted criminal to hear his
sentence. Patterson cleared his
throat.
"Er-not far from my office-in John
street" he said. "as was going to
luncheon" Billinger seized a chair to
keep from falling. He could hardly
realize that he was to be spared.

lady. And to think he had walked all
the way down there. | can't think
how he failed to be killed by trolley

Then he glanced triumphantly at
the captive Chicot and went out to
luncheon in high spirits What win

books describe as general sufl-
cheney
Alas for Billinger. While he was
treating himself handsomely at a
neighboring cafe, who should drop in
at his office but the hated patterson,
whose partner had law case in
Blllinger's hands
The first object that met his aston
ished gaze was the form of the mud
that Patterson had received by tele-
phone the awful news Of Chicot's TAX
ing off, Funny thing" he thought.
"Billinger must have found the pup"
But then he remembered that Miss
Mayhem had said that she had asked
Billinger to advertise for him He
remem bered this the more distinctly
because he HAD offered his own SER
vices to that end, and had been any
thing but pleased to find that he had
been anticipated.
A great light began to illumine the
ohscurity of Battersons mind He
passed into the hall, carefully clos
ing the 1oor behind him, and re-en-
tered Billinger's private Office by the
other door. Patterson united the rope
that fastened the dog to the safe,
leaving the other end still tied to
that substantial piece of furniture.
Then, taking the joyous Chicot in his
arms. he stole silently out into the
hall. closing the door behind him, and
walked down eight flights of stairs.
Peering cautiously out into the street,
he reioiccd to see no Billinger, and,
bearing his armful of muddy dog. fed
nrecipitately toward Broad street.

Labor Laws of Two Countries

While Judge Jackson Of the United
States district court in Parkersburg,
w. Va, has sentenced a number of or
ganizers to jail terms of ninety and
sixty days or making infammatory
speeches melting men to strike, the
British courts are wrestling with the
problem Of forcing the labor unions

through strikes. Several large mine

mine owners believe they suffered
heavy financial loss as a result, and
they now ask. through the courts, that
they be compensated from the treas

OF the federation belong In common
to all the meml ers seems to make no
difference, as the officers are held re-
Sponsible. In another case In England
the courts have held that although the
unions are liable for the fctions OF
their officers they must not furnish
the funds to defend the same officers

Eieht-Hour Day Question

On many questions still in dispute
we need more light. Among others the
eight-hour dag will attract increasing
attention. Is a shorter day desirable,
all things considered? Is it feasible to
adopt the eighthour Jay? Or will its
disadvantages be so great as to make
it more of detriment than blessing
to society? Now is the time to have
this question thoroughly discussed.
Shall men be permitted and encour-
aged to turn out all the work that they
can while on duty, or snail the least
efficient or the average worker set the
