bly,.
The supercilious maid led Emma
haushtily down rear stairs to the
untouched by the slight. or by the
grim mockery of such departure
from the house which might have
been hers. The determined smile was
still upon her face. She walked erect
now, with her shoulders squared. In
the street she turned her back on the
glare of the splendid avenue and set
off ut brisk pace toward the east.
At length she came to the whining
racks of the elevated. The thorough
fare beneath them was wet and
noiSome cave. Grimy men and
women, with the dull, submissive eyes
of toilng. oxen, thronged the foul
pavements. In a deafening. unend
ing procession iron wheels of ponder
Gus trucks changed savagely over the
cobbles.
With lips parted expectantly, and
firm chin pointed upward, Emma
hurried on, like one speeding to a
goal. Even in that Fastening crowd
her haste was noticeable. A group in
front of IA murky saloon skipped out
of her way with burlesaue agility; a
jocose policeman asked her where the
fire was. Emma's eager smile did not
waver. and the policeman winked at
his companion,
"They never get too old TO beat it
to date" he proclaimed senten-
tiousy.
A blue -cloaked and blue -bonneted
girl emerged from the saloon, jingling
an aims box for the Salvation Army.
Emma tugged n coin from her knot
ted handkerchief and dropped her
pittance in the box.
God bless you for it," muttered the
girl.
Emma did not pause to hear the
benediction. She turned the corner
into side street. 1t was a street of
old brick houses. converted into tene-
ments; beyond the distant end of it,
under the lights of towering bridge,
was revealed the sullen current of
the river.
The shadowy street would have
been quiet had 1t not been for the
countless children; but over side
walk, curb and house steps they
swarmed like frenzied bees. A des-
uumphantly caught and held Emma's
skirt as she passed. She bent down
to loosen the chubby fist and found
that, for the lack of breath, she
could hardly speak.
She waited for u minute among the
children, with hand on her leaping
heart. Then she Gent into the tene-
ment house and up sagging and
narrow stairs.

entered was poorly furnished, but

thorough federal investigation of the
beef packing industry today before the

NJ. Stubbs represents some western
live stock producers. He said pro-
ducers felt packers were dealing un-
fairly with them and that both sides
were entitled TO have light turned
upon the innermost working of the
live stock industry.
''Th producers have many cases for
complaint against packers" he said.
They cannot understand why When
hides and other by-products are higher
than ever before when the demand at
home and abroad for meat is greatly
increased that the price of live stock
can be as low as it was in 1915.
IF you men knew of the empty
feed lots where thousands of cattle
used to stand, of the ruined fortunes
of the last few years, of the Lro-

arrangements so union and nonunion

"Ihe announcement made yester-

minds of all that union labor will not
mix with nonunion labor on jobs in
Topeka, said Frank B. Brown TODAY.
Nhile it was possible that strikes
and walkouts might ensue if nonunion
men were caught on jobs and refused
70 take out cards, it was hoped this
would not he the case. However. even
