She was at the door when she nm

stirred Hazel to speech and action.
"vesta, Vesta!" she cried. and ran
out into the corridor.
But Vesta Lorlmer neither needed
nor halted. And Hazel went back to
her room, quivering. Sometimes the
truth is bitter and stirs to wrath. And
mingled with other emotions was a
dull pang Of jealousy-the first she
had ever known. For Vesta Lorimer
was beautiful beyond most women !;
and she had but given ample evidence
Of the bigness of her soul. With

SO intensely that she would drive an
other woman to his arms that he might
win happiness.
But one thing stood out clear above
that painful meeting. She was done
fighting against the Darkness that
seemed to surround her since Bill
went away. Slowly but steadily 1t
had been forced upon her that much
which she deemed desirable, even nee
essary, was of little weight In the bal.

longed for him. for his CHEEKY voice,
the whimsical good humor Of him. his
kiss and his smile. Indubitably Vesta

MAYOR D|SAPPORvES
OF SALARY ORDINANCE
vctocs Measure Passed by Council
Fixing Pay Of City Directors.
PAPER GOES BACK TO BODY.
Takes Two-Thirds Vote to Pass Over
Mayors Disapproval. Which Mem
bcrs OF Council Claim Can be
Secured.

Mayor Ainslie yesterday jolted the
advocates of a fixed and equalized
salary figure for the city directors to
be named by the mayor and citx
council. when he returned to council
without his approval the ordinance
fixing $4,000 as the salary for each
of the six directors.
In some quarters this action was
not surprising. but to the average
citizens who knows a little about pub
lie matters. the action OF the mayor
came as real eyc-opener. They had
believed that the mayor wouldn't
have the nerve to go up against the
solid council"
He did have the nerve, however.
and indicated by his action that DR..
Ennion g. williams Is the type OF
man he wants at the head of the de-
psrtment Of public welfare. In his
veto the mayor made mention OF no
one else. and 1t is. therefore, pre-
sumed that he has been able to ascer-
tain that he can get men efficient
enough for the other places without
having to insist on higher pay.
The names most prominently men
toned yesterday for the places are:
Captain W. II. Myers. department OF
public safety: Charles t. Boiling. de-
partment OF public works: e. W.
Trafford department of utilities, and
DIR. Williams. department OF public
welfare
Mayor Ainslic's communication TO

out my approval an ordinance, en-
titled An ordinance to fix the COM
nensstion to be paid certain officers

by the common council December 2.

of aldermen December 10. 1918, my
objection thereto being that It fails

head of the department of public well
fare have selected for this Office
Dir Ennion c. Williams. present state
health comnfssSt6ree. who has stated
to me, and also to mcnu~c- nf the
charter change committee prior to
their report to your body, that he is
unwilling to leave his present Office
and accept this place mt salary less
than IS, 600 per annum. l personally
made this known TO all members of
The committee except Alderman
Workman. who was out of town up
10 the night the committee took its
final action. ! had been given to I'M
derstand that the council would pro-
vide proper salaries for proper men.
Acting on this l named DIR Williams
to the committee as my selection for
director OF public welfare. and stated
the minimum salary at which his SER
vices could, be secured. Surely no one
familiar with his qualifications will
fail To consider him a proper man.
81 he 10 hn
considered an excessive one. In or
der that your honorable body may
pass upon the question with the facts
officially and sqnarely before you. l

charges on any articles through
