knew just how unhappy
Dicks father was, for Uncle John
is his only brother. Dad Is not as
we'll as l could wish and this will
be great shock to him. Mother
Waverly is developing the most
wonderful case of nerves l ever
encountered, and between them it
has been pretty hard for Mollie.
/ am afraid that Aunt Mary
won't make things easier for her
when she comes, for it seems to
be foregone conclusion that she
will come to live with them after
Uncle Johns death.

I shall do everything | can to per-

money to do this, and / know she
will be much happier to be per-
fectly independent, even il she is
lonelier by herself.
/ had gone to sleep with all the
joy of anticipation of Dicks
homecoming and here / was in
the morning plunged into sorrow
and stress that Death brings in
its train.
When l reached Dicks fathers
house l found both Mother and
Father Waverly very much upset.
Mollie took me aside and said
she had sent for the doctor and
then l tried to soothe poor old
Dad, who looked very near death
himself.
He began telling me about
when he "and John" were boys
together, and by gradually get
ting him interested in boyhood
memories I was able to quiet him
until the doctor came and gave
both him and mother a quieting
potion.
l told Mollie to get a nurse,
for she. poor child, looked COM
pletely worn out, and l will prob
ably be at Uncle Johns for a
week at least. The new maid Is a
jewel, and Mollie keeps house
| much better than her mother.
When we had few minutes
together Mollie gave me back the
fifty dollars l lent her some
months ago with rather rueful
little grimace: "It's rather hard
to pay for furs when you are
needing a new spring hat, Margie,
but l determined that would
save something out of my house
keeping and personal allowance.
took the money from her, al
though I made up my mind /
would buy her an Easter hat as
| soon as 1 came back. I needed one
| myself, and Mollie and l would
have 4 regular orgie of spring hat
buying.
1 know one thing very thor
| oughIy, and that is that no wOm-
an, especially young woman, can
be very unhappy on q bright
spring afternoon when she has on
| a becoming hat, and Mollie shall
realize that, too.
While we were talking Dick
came in and he had hardly time
| to say q word to me, because Dad
had so many directions for him
and We had to make a train in an
hour.
We hurried away, and 1t was
not until we were on the train
that / fairly looked into Dicks
eyes and heard his caressing
voice--that was almost like the
touch of his lips-saying: "Darl-
ing, this was not the home-com-
ing I have been looking forward
to, but at least am glad I've got
you here beside me-"

and | think it's up to me to
pay them before we get mar
ried.
Hoping you will give me
an answer, and thanking
you, sincerely,

WOMAN AERONAUT KILLED
Mrs. Nettie St. Clair Falls 800 Feet
From Balloon Landing in Shallow
Water Near Wisconsin Resort.
REPORT OF SUICIDE IS DENIED

Marinette, Wis, June 9-Falling
800 feet from balloon Mrs. Nettie
st. Clair, twenty-five years Old was
dashed to death in shallow water at
Lakeside, resort near here, in the
presence of 5000 persons.
The young woman is believed to
have unbuckled the safety belt that
held her to the parachute, so that
when she fell she would not be drag
ged beneath the water. While doing
this, she probably lost her hold. She
had waved her hand a moment be-
fore.
A report that she had lost her hus
band, E. E. St. Claire of Muskegon
Mich, that she contemplated suicide
in the Lakeside fight, is denied by
Jack Krall, manager of the resort.
A cork life preserver that she wore
was crushed into bits by the impact
of her body on the bottom of the
lake.

L0NTRACTSARE VIOLATED
Miners in Calumet Copper District
Who Gave Evidence Before Inves-.

NATION COULD SAVE $3,312, 900

By Congressman G. H. Tavenner.
Washin gton, June 9.-Miners of
the Calumet copper district. in
Michigan who gave testimony before
the house Investigating committee,
have been blacklisted by the mine
owners now that the strike is set
tied, according to Sidney Thomas,
president of the local unions in the
Calumet district, in a letter to- Rep
resentative w. J. Mcdonald of Mich
igan. .r'- 49," - - -.
Although under the terms of the
strike settlement there were no dis
ordinations in the hiring back of
strikers, except that, those men who
were indicted or arrested for any Sc
rious charge were not to be hired,
the mine owners, according to Thorn
as, have turned away many who were
never arrested and who took no
prominent part in the strike. -.
''And job to a man with a large
family means something," comment
ed Thomas. 49,. ~
t'Some are turned down for work, -
wrote Thomas, because they went
before the Investigating committee.
One manager said that those went
there will never get any more work
in the copper country Asefar as /
know no one has been hired from
this end of the mining community
who did go before the committee.
Before the hangers promises
were cold they broke them. Their
idea was to get the strike called off
without any written agreement;
then get the men once more at tn cir
mercy and treat them as they always
did" . .....
If these charges are true they
ought to he considered by the In
dustrial Relations commission as one
cause of great unrest in this coun-
try. If workingmen believe of any
employer that he will not keep any
agreement he may make with him,
there is little chance of industrial
peace in that community.
