AUSTRIA REPLIES

by The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Oec. l7.-Austria's
reply to the Ancona note was received
shortly after midnight, this morning.
II is now being decoded and will be-
placed before Secretary lansing immedi-
ately.
The note contains about 900 words.
10 took about thirty hours for its cod
ing and transmission, having been hand
cd 10 Ambassador penfeld at noon
Wednesday.
Il was found impossible to get tho
note decOded In time for Secretary
Lansing 10 take IL 10 the cabinet meet
ing. The secretary took instead an in
formal communication from Ambassadors
Penheld, which had preceded the note.
This information was laid before the
cabinet, as was q report Of Secretary
Lansings conversations with Baron
Iwiedinek yesterday. The note itself
was sent by special messenger to the
cabinet meeting about thirty minutes
after IL convened.
There was every evidence that the
note fails completely to meet the Ameri-
can demands. II was thoughe 20 be
evasive and will undoubtedly necessitate
another and stronger measure.

BERLIN. Via Amsterdam, Dec. H.
Berlin does not expect any diplomatic
break between Austria and the United
States as a result Of Austria's failure 70
comply promptly with American de-
mands, in her reply to the Ancona note.
Austria is willing to make Important
concessions to prevent such break, ac-

Another exchange of notes probably will
clear the whole situation.

is heartily approved here, but is ex-

of heavy bronze. 1t was the type
which has wire rod shcathed in a

every customer with special courtesy.
While thus engaged one evening re-
Gently he was Mortified to discover
that the Wire rod with its beautiful
bronze handle was missing.
1T was here a moment SINCE" he
declared to a man who was waiting
for light. Where can it be?"
Easy question to answer" smiled
the customer. THAT little rod is out
there on the pavement just outside
the door. l have not seen 1t, but
know it is there"
Sure enough, it is there" ex-
claimed the cigarmaker, rushing to
recover his property. How did you,
know that?"

He threw the rod either to the right

skeched Perfect Fitting Had Seen

battle was waged, an hour later,
Hyde's barn was full to overlooking
with enthusiastic spectators. Candor
.compels the admission that Conrad
was worsted in the encounter, but that
was not the point He had fought
gamely from beginning to- end.
That was his initiation. From that
day he was admitted to be man
among men, without any regard what
ever to nationality or habit Of
speech; and where the boys led, fol-
lowed the girls. Through them he pa
tiently plddded to Blanche Reynolds,
and having secured her frank favor
there was nothing more in this world
that he wanted. He was the acknowl-
edged sutton of the handsomest, the
most brilliant, the most wonderfully
endowed girl in all the world; he lived
in home atmosphere that to him was
divine; his work was not only con-
genial; it was his life, and his en-
ployers-precious thing to this vivid
emoticnalist-trusted him implicitly.
Both to save expense and to con-
centrate energy, the Office had been
moved down to the mill, where Con-
rad became not only designer and
craftsman, but timekeeper.
One evening Harper asked for his
time-book.
Perched on a high stool, Harper
read him the items one by one; that
on such a date one workman had put
in nine hours, another six, another
two, and so on through the spring and
the early summer.
"That cannot be-" objected Conrad
at one point, raising his head; Wright
hat not work nine hours by the 29th
That day he hat been hurt"
That's So" admitted Harper, con-
fused. I'm looking at the wrong line.
1t was on the 2Sth he worked nine
hours
ga, but on the 2Sth you hat read it
seven hours"
THAT was mistake, too," said
Harper impatiently. make it nine"
Conrad looked troubled. The whole
time-list had an unfamiliar look to
him. and it bothered him that his usu-
ally Photographic memory should be
confused. It did not occur to him
for an instant to suspect that Harper

"1ss an architect Lifts here?"

"1ss an architect lifts here?"
Mr.. Brandon Meade, deep in his con-
tinuous plans for booming the live
little city of Holden, stopped abruptly,
jerked his black cigar from between
his teeth, and surveyed the youthful
stranger through the gently falling
flakes.
Fellow here calls himself one; he's
a contractor, and runs planning mill
besides.' he replied.
The other made an indescribable
little gesture with his hands and shout
ders and head. not exactly of con-
tempt, but more of pity and sorrow.
Then ISIS no chance" he said with
weary resignation.
Are you an architect?" asked
Meade in his turn.

the other. Designer, to originate; ca

Good" approved Meade with awak-
ening interest. I'VE need something

more, took a second look, and damned
it back into his pocket. you can't
expect me to miss business engage
ment because you're too naughty to
eat when you're hungry. Come along
with me"
The boyle was scarcely more than
that-lcoked at him in solemn perplex-
ity. but followed as he was told to do.
Notwithstanding his announcement
that he had no time to waste, Meade
turned with his quick, nervous stride
down the side street, at right angles
to the direction in which he had been
hurrytng, and wheeled into the hall
way of an old, rickety, frame build
ing Up one fight of stairs he stalked
into an Office where, near the window,
a big rough table, Uttered with paper
and drawing materials, was tilted upon
rude trestles. A cheerful wood fire
was burning in an old-fashioned stove;

III.

When they were through, after
three solid hours of toll, Harper sent
Conrad home ahead of him while he
counted up the new record. AS re.
vised, the book showed over a thou
sand dollars still due him from Meade
enough to tide him over this desper-
ate pinch in which he found himself.
Musing in pallid-facad selfloathing
over this, his first departure from rec
titude. he did thing inexplicable even
in one of his careless habits He de-
stroyed the old book, abstractedly
tearing 1t up page by page and drop
ping it in the wastebasket.
In the morning came Conrad, and
recognized those scraps at once. On
the table lay the new book where Har-
per had left it the night before. Me-
chemically obeying the memorable logic
OF the situation, Conrad picked some
Of the scraps from the basket and COM
pared entries. Every legible word
was damning. Here, on the 10th, was
Turner, on the old book three hours,
in the new book nine. Wright was in
the new book for nine hours on that
date, and in the old one his name was
not written down at all, for he had
been at work on another job.
Then Harper came in, strangely
shaken. though trying to preserve an
air of easy nonchalance.
Il have just had settlement with
Meade" he began in voice irtended
to be quiet and CHEEKY, "and what do
you think the fellow did? Offered me
a f1ve-hundred-dollar bonus for the
good work we have done!
Here's your back pay, Conrad" he
said: I'm sorry to have kept you
waiting so long,"
Conrad backed away from the check
as If it were an unclean thing.
"No, MOI" he cried. That money,
want it not! 1t is not goot money. l

book where you tore it up. You hat

Meade plunged into the next Office
through the communicating door,

This was a lawyers office. II one
