Steam Engineers Plan to Get Second
Class Rate for Their Organ.

The executive board of the Interna-
tional Union of Steam Engineers called
today upon Acting Postmaster General
Grandfield and submitted to him its plans
for distributing its official organ. the In
ternational Steam Engineer. so that it
can be readmitted to second class mail
privileges. Several months ago the ex-
ecutive board was informed by the postal
authorities that their publication could no
longer be considered as second class mail
matter. as it was sent to members who
merely paid their dues and did not pay
any subscription.
The session Of the executive board this
morning was devoted to the adjustment
of protests, claims and other grievances
from the various locals within its juris-
diction.

It was no slight relief to her
when he decided to buy the car,
but that again was detracted from
by his invasion of their tiny
stronghold and his vacillation as
to when he would take delivery Of
his purchase. She did not quite
know what to make of him In the

his favor, and he looked too frank

undecided whether to walk as fal

CHAPTER XII.
MRS. SMITHS IDEA OF A
SQUARE DEAL.


Fanchette had raised no objec.
tons when her young mistress had
spoken of selling the runabout,
since 1t seemed that, otherwise,
they would soon be reduced to dire
straits. Count as she might, there
were but twenty dollars left in the
oaken Golfer which was their only
available treasury since Jules
Chevral had despoiled them of
their small balance in the New
York bank. And further forcible
argument in favor of the sale was
that furnished by the weeks kslfs
which she settled in Stormport on
Saturday. 1t proved most con.
vincingly that twenty dollars would
not last them long.
On Sunday, therefore, they def.
initely decided to advertise the car
which had been such source OF
pleasure to both of them
Fanchette had very often &C.
companied the girl on her excur
sions, and had even become, under
her tuition, fairly expert me
chanic. Now all she had to SO
lace her was the thought that

sleep.
The girl said that she was sent to
the store Just before closing time by
the Donal woman, told to hide until
everyone had left the place, and then
to pack suit cases with valuable arti-
cles and carry them away. The wom-
an is said to have instructed the
child even to telling her the size of
waists, the quality of silks and all
the articles she was to make way
with. 1t was the plan for her to
pack several suit cases.
The fact that the girl left the door
of the store ajar attracted the atten-
tion of watchman.
The Donal woman is in Jail 1t is

She stoutly denies any knowledge OF
the affair in which the girl was APP

is believed by the police, who regard
1t as the solution of mysterious thefts
at the same store in the holiday sea-
son.

Tor several years in the home of the

time ago on charges that the Donal
woman had turned the hose on the
