face and narrow shoulders were filling

At the end of three years the fore
man started out as an independent
contractor and the boss took his place.
Pennington would have then become
boss, but the new contractor asked
him to go with him as foreman, and
Pennington, With an odd feeling Of
exultation and wonder, consented.
All this time the Pennington agent
had heard nothing, and an expression
of speculative concern was beginning
to appear in his face.

for he was man who required a
great deal of money, and being in Eu-

A small portion of Esther Kilton s

The world was an unsatisfactory
place at best, and if it was to be
hedged in by high walls, what pleas
IRE would the little cells be?
A band of music was approaching,
and his gaze went to it with the
crowds.
Behind the music came a great
block of marching men, and behind
them another and another, and still
another. Then Pennington under
stood. It was Labor day, and this
was the trades parade.
Under other circumstances Pen
nington's gaze would have turned
away indifferently; but there was
only the sidewalk or the street, and
Of the two the street was the less
tedious. 1t was at least a moving
bore.
The first impression that came
clearly to his understanding was one
of the strong, stalwart units of the
blocks; the next, their contented and
even happy looks.

tinged his dreams, who had since
grown distant and somewhat scorn-

Yes, they seem strong and happy,
Esther" he answered, "in spite of be-

Because of being in the trades,
she corrected swiftly, a vibrant ring
in her voice that brought his eyes
again to her face. She was looking
out at the marching blocks, her gaze
steady, but with a tremulousness OF
the delicate lips that somehow remind

Peaceful Army of MiIlions.

The American Federation of Labor,
the most powerful and numerous OF
the labor organizations of today, mum.
bered last January in active members
nineteen hundred and seventy-odd
thousand. Since that time their mum
bers have increased until they are
now well beyond the two million
mark. The nearest approach to &C.
curacy is to place their number al
2,025,OOo.
These include only the active mem
bers. When one considers the families
of these members, the auxiliary asso
Citations affiliated with the parent body
in the way of relief associations, chill

to say that more than two million can
be mustered
And that is out of the American
Federation of Labor alone. Besides

other labor organizations, as well as

unions, but which take advantage oi

as an epoch when primitive man first

POST OFFICE LOSES
ON RURAL CARRIERS
Beck Favors Doubling Rural
Routes and Increasing Sal
aries of Few.

Something will have to be done to
stop the losses all over the country
on rural route service" said Post
master Beck today. This office is
losing seventy-five per cent on rural
route men or about $500 year.
81 believe the plan announced by
Postmaster General Burleson will help
to solve the problem. This provides
for combining some of the routes and
paying carriers $500 annually for
carrying two routes.
THE carriers here receive $1,000 a
year. Some Of them have completed
their work by 10 o'clock in the morn
ing. Figuring this down, they make
about 81 an hour for this service. OF
course these men have machines
while those with wagons cover their
routes In double that time.
by condensing all the rural routes
out of this office. we could save
$4,000 a year. While we may never
be able to double up all routes be-
cause of their location, probably will
be able to make some saving. A
small saving in all the offices of the
country would make an enormous
amount of money"
