And such proved to be tn cease.
The liquid was fiery and the effect
had instantly made Dick think of
the spirits of salts. He was so run
down and weak that he had swooned,
more, as the doctor said, through
agony Of mind than of body.

of the liquid from the wrong bottle

glass and gulped the liquid down.
Instantly there was a frightful
scalding sensation in his throat. and
with a cry Of horror he.let the glass
drop, and II smashed to atoms on
the table.
Then he began to clutch at his
chest, his shoulders contracted,
means and gasps of pain leaving his
lips, which had suddenly grown
white.
He felt as though the interior of
his chest was being burnt out.
myriads of lights danced before his
eyes, a hammer seemed to be thump-
ing inside his head, while great
beads OF perspiration rolled OF his
forehead.
Spirits Of salts!" he gasped. "oh,
God!"
His knees bent suddenly, and he
fell into a chair and lay there wrlth-
Ing. his hands pressed to his chest
to try to stay the frightful burning
sensation.
He tried to call for help, but only
husky. inarticulate sounds escaped
his white. dry lips
Now the room spun round him,
and his hands went out on to the
table before him and began to clutch
at the cloth. which he pulled into q
wrinkled mass with his crooked
fingers.

Slowly. his eyes almost closed.

shoulders, he traced in large, shaky,

He could write no more. the pencil

forward, his arms outstretched, his
face lying by the photo of the girl
he loved. and then he lost con-

There he lay. very still The

of Mr.. Saville's tragic face.
Awful! Terrible!" exclaimed
Mr.. saville. Dicks dead or dying.
He's taken poison"
"Poison!" gasped Arnold. Then
his eyes opened wide with horror,
and he exclaimed: "The spirits of
salts! Good Godi"
Spirits of salts!" repeated Mr..
Saville.
"Yes, there was some In a bottle"
Then it's hopeless. But where's
the nearest doctor? QuickI You go!
You can move faster than l."
But already Frank was flying
down the stairs three at time, and
then Mr.. Saville returned with a
slow and heavy step.
Dorothy still held Dick in her
arms, and after one brief glance,
almost Of hatred, at her guardian,
she did not look at him again.
Now the old gentleman broke
down.
Don't treat me like this, my
dear" he said, half sobbing. 81

"You acted so as to kill him, and
he was all the world to me-" she
said DULY.
"Arnold's gone for the doctor. If
he gets we'll. I'll make him-you
shall marry him as soon as you
like"
''If he gets well!" she repeated.
you may safely promise"
Suddenly she began to cry, and
Dicks deathly white face was
watered with her tears. There she
stayed, holding him tightly, her slen-
der form shaking with sobs, until
suddenly Arnold and the doctor
burst into the room.
The doctor gazed euriously at him
for a second and then opened his bag.
He poured something from a bottle
into a glass and let the liquid trickle
Down Dicks throat.
II had an almost instantaneous
effect, for Dicks eyes opened. and
he gaEed blankly at the four faces
bent over him. Dorothy's was the
first he recognized, and he smiled
at her.
Suddenly he feebly moved his
hand to his throat.

ian-"but, uncle, your case was so
different TO his. You were in a firm
with people around you to recognize

of Dick; they have not got the op-
portunlty."
"Pshaw! That's no argument,
my DEAR" said the old gentleman
'If he's got the ability to get on.
he'll get on. Evidently he hasn't
got 1t, and I'm not going to allow
you to have anything to do with a

Mr.. Saville gazed thoughtfully at
his ward for several moments, and
then he nodded his head.
Get your hat on. Dorothy" he
said; I'VE will call on Dick. and I
shall tell him Just what l think"
"And that is7"
THAT he must give up all thoughts
Of you and that he must make his

else."

cried Dorothy.

But he isn't well. He's worked
so hard and had no encouragement

speak to him as you say, 1t will-will
make him desperate"
And then we shall see whether
he's got anything in him or whether
he's just a spendthrift. Get your
hat on, my dear"
Dorothy realized that II was use,
less TO argue with her guardian; he
was as obstinate as a mule on this
point.
A taxicab speedily conveyed them
to Dicks apartment, and then they
toiled up three flights Of stairs and
knocked at the door. alongside which
was the plate bearing Dicks name.
No answer was returned to the

knock, and Mr.. Saville turned to his
ward and nodded his head in know
ing fashion.
"Out, you see," he said. Probably
drinking or playing cards with some
more like him. Anyway, Wen go in
and leave a note for him"
He opened the door, and instantly
a startled cry broke from Dorothy's
lips, for she saw her lover lying
partially across the table. face
downwards, his arms outstretched.
Look, look, uncle!" she cried.
"He is i'll, he has tainted"
Mr.. Saville's calm deserted him,
and with an exclamation Of alarm
he followed his ward to Dicks side.
Between them they lifted him back
so that he lay in his chair, Land their
eyes filled with fear and horror as
they saw his dead-white face, closed
eyes and blue lips.
"oh, he's dead, he's dead" sobbed
Dorothy.
Mr.. Saville placed a trembling
hand on Dicks left breast and
pressed It there for several mo-
ments.
"His hearts still beating, he"--
But he was interrupted by a
scream Of terror which broke from
Dorothy's lips, for she had seen
her photo with Dicks written words
on II:
Taken poison"
She stood gazing at 1t with dilated
eyes, her hands clutching her
bosom.
He's killed himself" she whis-
pered suddenly, her voice husky and
awed.
Then she slowly lifted her head
and gazed with wide-open, angry
eyes at her guardian.
'It is you who have killed him" :"
she said, pointing an accusing finger
at him, you with your cruelty"
Then she suddenly fell on her
knees by Dicks still form and
wrapped her arms around him.
Dick. Dick, dear!" she walled.
Mr.. Saville's face had suddenly

He lay back in~his chair, for he

encouragement was the medicine he
required. but he had found no one

His head was aching, and II grew
worse instead Of better. He felt
slightly dizzy, and he wondered
vaguely whether he was going to

Two weeks and two days and he

But Supt. White didn't like Schnei-

months Schneider had been working
on this same job. And he was a good

after Schneider had a straight eight

you don't do what you're told"
On one point after another, the In
dustrial Board was surprised at the
ignorance of the Florsheim Co. as
shown in Schneider's case The COM
pany has 1,200 men and would be
supposed to know what the law is in
cases where men are crippled up
while at work.
The law is that the employer shall
pay all doctors bills and all expense

Since that time and today
Schneider is a member of the march
ing army of 100000 and more job
less men in Chicago. Only, Schneider
is different from most Of them be-
cause he has a wife and six children
and a home at 1405 Fifth street and
is hustling for eight peoples bread.
This week the Industrial Board of
Illinois is taking up Schneider's case
and looking into a peculiar angle of
it where the Florsheim Co. seems to
be laughing at the state law as a
joke. w. V. Conley, secretary of the
board, stated today that Louis Flor
sheim, president of the company, and
other officers would have their dis
regard of the workmen's compensa-
ton law called to their attention.
Either the Florsheim Co. man
ayers don't know the law or they are
wilfully evading it" said Conley.
The story goes back to Oct. 81,
when Schneider was going to climb a
ladder and rig pulley. The ladder
was shaky and he was suspicious of
it. He knew that safety first" is a
good thing. And Coroner Hoffman
and the newspapers and many good
men are saying, Don't climb up
ladder if you're not sure it's safe
take no chancesw But Superin-
tendent White had just "balled OUT
Schneider for not working fast
enough and it was certainly no time
to stop and monkey around fixing a
bum ladder.

 Today's engagement was the third in dtaae series of conferences the pres ident has arranged to talk over with leaders in the industrial and financial world general business conditions as well as measures in Congress.
 One direct result Of the conference with the Chicago business men is the possibility that the trade commission bill which has passed the House and Is now pending in the Senate may be modified as to details
