OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
A GIRL AND a MAN
A New and Vital Romance of City Life
by Virginia Terhune Van se Water

| she appreciated that she had made an
admission she had not intended to
make.
"I-I-mean." she began. but Agnes
checked her.
Tell me the truth" she said sternly.
Have YOU tainted before?
We'll. just little. once in a while"
Miss Lucy acknowledged.
"Auntie, you are keeping something
from me-" Agnes insisted, sitting down
by the invalid and taking her hand.
Have you tainted like this before?"
Well. not just exactly as I did just
now Miss Lucy strove to be truth
full. yet to avoid alarming the girl.
Several times l have come to myself
and found that had just sort of sunk
down somewhere and forgotten things
for minute, but l always come
around to myself. 1 would to-day.
TOO, guess, If you had not happened
in when you did"
When DIR, Martin arrived Miss Lucy
protested feebly at Agnes extrava-
gance in sending for him. But she
promised TO obey his orders and lie
still until tomorrow morning.
Trouble With Her Heart
The trouble is with her heart" DIR.
Martin told Agnes bluntly when she
followed him into the hall. she has
had heart trouble for years, but 1t is
getting worse. She ought not to be
left alone. Not that she needs expert
care-for there is no cure for the
trouble-but she ought to have some
one at hand in case she has a faint
turn. You're in business now, aren't
you?"
Yes" Agnes said. Should stay
at home?"
Lord. no! Who'd make the money
If you didn't make it - was the gruff
rejoinder. IF you stopped work, that
would trouble Miss Morley to death.
She has more peace of mind now than
she's had in many a long day. No.
whatever comes, you stick to your job.
for her sake even more than your own!
Isn't there some young person who can
come here for each day while you're
away?"
After a moments cogitation Agnes
remem bered the daughter of the
woman who did the laundry work for
her aunt and herself.
Yes" she said, Il know a young
Irish girl that finished grammar school
this year and who wants to go into
service next winter Just now she's
doing nothing. She will probably
charge less than an older person
would"
That evening. after asking the neigh
Dor from upstairs 10 sit for an hour
with Miss Morley. Agnes walked over
to her laundress's home and engaged
the services of Jennie O'Neill for each
working day for the rest of the sum-
mer, beginning with the following
morning.
And now" the weary girl unused
when. having seen her aunt settled
comfortably for the night, she lay
down herself, ''as the doctor said.
whatever comes have got to keep my
Job-for auntie's sake even more than
my own,''

AWARDS MUST BE
AS LAW DIRECTS
Chairman Mackey Makes Inter
esting Decision in a Case
of Compensation

Tho State Compensation Board is
declared to have no authority to make
an order for payment by an employer
OF one-third of amount of compen-
sation allowed for loss of an eye be-
cause, owing to an injury. an oculist
estimates that the normal vision of an
eye of an employe has been diminished
one-third. according to an opinion
handed down to-day by Chairman
Mackey.
Tho decision was an appeal by the
Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad in
the compensation claim of Louis ].
Book, one of it's car shop employees,
whose eye was injured by dirt drop
ping from the floor of a car under re-
pair. The man was able to resume
work in twenty days, but 1t was ad-
mitted that his vision had been i'm
paired one-third. I'VE do not find in
the act any power to graduate an
award between provisions of the act"
says the opinion. IF in this particular
case the lowered vision has not re-
duced the earning power of the claim
ant, then there can be no compen-
sation based upon any other consid-
Grafton than actual loss" Concerning
the suggested award the chairman
says: The board has no power to
make such an order nor even suggest
such disposition of the case. If,
however. the defendant desires to
make such q contribution to the claim
ant, there is nothing in the law to pre-
vent 1t from doing So
Compensation has been allowed to
the widow of an employe of the Car
negie Steel Company killed by light
ming while at work In one of the plants
of the company in the Pittsburgh dis
trict In another opinion.
1t is stated when the law of q par
ticular state awards compensation only
to the employe when the injury arises
out of the employment, then it has be-
come important in case of death or in
jury by lightning to determine as a
fact whether or not the workman AT
that particular time only assumed the
ordinary hazard of the general COM
munity or whether the nature of his
employment placed him in a position
where he was unusually imperiled."
There is an admission that the man
was at work when struck, and as death
by lightning constitutes an accident
the widow is awarded compensation
including an allowance for a minor
child and burial expenses.

The heat was still intense when. at
o'clock, Agnes Morley climbed the
stairs to her home.
The sun hung low in the west like a
ball of fire, shining redly through the
mist that had lain like pail over the
city all day. There was no relief in
sight, the evening papers said.
Looking back over the past day,
Agnes felt as if she could not have
endured 1t had it not been for the
pleasant hour of rest and refreshment
that she had had with Mr.. cambridge
that noon. She wondered whether she
would tell her aunt of it-then decided
not to do so. Aunt Lucy might not
understand. She had some old
fashioned notions about what girls in
offices should and should not do.
AS Agnes opened the front door with
her latch key the stiffness of the little
fiat struck her as unusual
"Auntie!" she called.
But there was no reply. There was
nobody in the living room. and as
Agnes went into the adjoining bed
room she found that this. too, was
empty.
"Auntie!" she called again, hurrying
down the narrow hall to the kitchen.
Here, she uttered an exclamation of
horror. For, lying full length on the
moor, was Miss Morley. For an instant
the awful idea seized the girl that the
elderly woman was dead. Then, as
she ran forward. she saw that her
aunt had tainted.

she repeated.

away long enough to run upstairs to
the apartment of a neighbor who had
telephone. Here she called up Miss
Lucy's physician and asked him to
come at once. Returning to her aunt's

Wilkes-Barre Carmen Refuse Latest

Wilkes Barre. Pa, Oct. L. = The
hope held by Mediators James A.
Steese and Walter McNicholas that
the trolley strike would be speedily
settled vanished yesterday when the
mediators returned to this city to take
up their peace work.
Striking carmen, who at the end of

Enid Markey, Louise Glaum
and Truly Shattuck Asso-
ciated With Dustin Far
mum in Alaskan Romance.

In putting forth the Alaskl
love story called "The Iror
Strain" as his first contribution
to the new Triangle program
Thomas ii Ince has brought to
getbe the most talented wOmeI
of his studio in the company OF
Dustin Farnum. who plays the
leading role. Mr.. FarDum's lead
ing woman is Miss Enid Msrkey,
who IS associated with "sOcla
butterfly" types and knows how
to play them effectively. Mr.
lnce intrusted the soubTette role
to Louise Glaum, ordinarily a
leading woman but here playing a
subordi nate part in order TO pro
vide a perfect ensemble. Even
Truly Shattuck, the former star
of musical comedy and prlma
donna of light opera, appears in
the minor role Of Ends mother.
The strength Of the cast on the
masculine side is indicated by
the fact that Charles K. French
plays the Alaska mining king,
Ezra Whitney There are also
two Indian characters, which are
splendidly enacted by real red
skins. Here is the story:
Octavia Van Ness, San Fran
cisco social butterfly, IS taken to
Alaska for her health: where she
meets Chuck Hemingway. She
RI pulses bis advances, and he
steals the girl, enters into a
forced marriage with her and in
stalls her in his cabin. Six
months elapse. and the girl, now
strong and well, is still antago-
nistic to Chuck. Kitty Molloy,
soubrette of the Arctic dance
hall, arrives ia the village, and
Octavia's jealousy is excited, and
for the first time she loves her
husband. They returned to Cali
fOnnia and are reunited with the
girls parents.
This is d story of strlkingly
contrasted character types. of
the difference between artificial
society and outdoor nature, of
fOrcefnl worth and social vanity.
1t gripped the spectators very
closely when it was played re.
Gently in the Triangle theaters of
