thoughts were not complimentary to
Esther. She could mt imagine a girl,

marrying Murray Crane. He was SO

A KENTUCKY BUSINESS INCIDENT

Fathers may learn from children;

be specific, says the New York Amer
lean.
Some months ago owe one hun
dred foreign insurance companies
with agencies IN the Blue Grass state
threatened to wipe Kentucky off their
business map because an oaerous, OBJ
nox1ous and autocratic statute-the
Glenn-Greene law--had been passed
and was to be enforced.
Commercial houses and industries
who class insurance as a keystone Of
their stability saw serious financial
loss ahead. Associations Of business
men met in protest, and their repre-
~sentat!ves forwarded the Objectionable
points. with reasons, tt the governor
and to the legislature.
But the officials were stubborn,
wkereupon the underwriting concerns
notified their respective agents to take
no further custom and to shut down
on all renewals. The corporations
acted promptly and vigorously.
Then the peoples chosen delegates
sat up and were inclined to listen to
arguraent-from the other side. In
~tinaations were spread around that
discussion Of the proposed radical
changes in the act would be welcon-
ed. Conferences were duly arranged
after a committee on which all fac
lions were represented was appointed.

not see him again. She wanted to
forget them both.
But he overlook her on the way
horne next evening and they walked
4 blocA; together. Esther was with
him, and at sight of her Judith felt
a s~!oEen!ng fa!ntness. She never had
seen any one like Esther. There was
no language to describe her-dark,
glowing sweet, not so beautiful, but
with a something that made her diff
fcrcnt. that set her apart from girls
n could envy or be jealous of.
In her Dom Judith sought rniscr-
ably and vaialy for the word that
would express her thought of Esther.
Perhaps, she told herself, she should
not recognize it if it wore offered.
She was not sure. She only knew
Esther was MOI Of the Martha, Mary,
or madonna type. The something she
seemed to her, than serving or being
served, or raot.erins. Esther would
die, or, what was worse, live and SUI
fer, for the sake Of the thing she
called right"
Judith buried her face In her couch
cushions and groaacd. The mountain
top wt1ereon Esther stood wac not for
such as she. But Murray Crane and
Eethcr Weston and she had only
crossed paths. After a little they
would separate, and the crossing
would be forgotten.
She hoped so, but as days went
they seemed to have merged. Murray
she met everywhere. He intercepted
her on the streets, the eta;rs. in the
halls. Ee called 4 CHEEKY goodnight

and Esther to lunch in an uptown
cafe. Again they had invited her to
a thc1ter, and, for a week, when
Esther was out Of town, she and
Murray had spent every evening to-
gethcr.
Never In all her life had she been
SO happy, and never had she been 60
unhappy. Sometimes she forgot Esth-
er altogether. Sometimes she stared
in wide-eyed agony into the future.
Then one day

At last in desperation she got out

NO PRIVILEGES FOR

Ono blessing resulting from Wonl-
