CHAPTER XIV.

Then the Chivvises came back from
their vacation Unexpectedly early. They
had found the hotels expensive and
Mr.. Chivvis was afraid that his job
would be snatched from him If he
were not there to hold it down.
Clay called on Daphne that evening
and the Chivvises retreated to their
own room. But as they could be over
heard it was evident that they could
overhear, and the lovers found no
chance to say any Of the things that
frightened their souls.
One evening Daphne said to Clay in
as low voice as he could hear: "Mrs.
Chivvis is growing uneasy, honey,
about our being together every eve
ming. I told her we were engaged, but
she didn't seem convinced. Perhaps
you would let me wear that beautiful
engagement ring again. / was a fool

Clay blenched in misery. "Erm

much on it; and last week had an in
sulting letter from the jeweler. He
threatened to sue me and notify my
firm, and I-well, 1 had to send it
back"
He was so downcast that she an
swered with mock cheer: "Oh, that's
all right, honey; it doesn't matter.
After all, it's only ring. And we
have each other"
"But we haven't each other. This
way of living is driving me crazy I'll
be all right as soon as these hard
times are over and I can make some
commissions. But it's so dismal to
wait. Couldn't we get married and
live on my salary?"
| Il could If you could"
He caught her in his arms so vic.
lently that she squealed.
The next day Clay telephoned to her

choice of accepting half his salary OF

Leila Had Decided That 1t Was Better
for Her Health to Stay at Newport
Till the Cooler Weather Came and
Her Summer Wardrobe Had Been
Worn Out.
Leila off to Newport, where they
boarded humbly, if extensively.
While they were gone, at their sug-
gestiOn, Daphne moved down into
their apartment. 1t was large and
beautiful, and, as Clay said, it was
mot infested with Chivvises.''
Now and then Clay quarreled with
Daphne because of her obstinate de-
termination to have trade Of her
own. Then they made up. And quar-
relied anew-lovers' Quarrels, summer
storms that break the sultry tension
OF the air and make peace endurable.
Bayard came back alone. Leila
had decided that it was better for
| her health to stay at Newport till
the cooler weather came and her
summer wardrobe had been worn out.
So Bayard Joined the army of
town-tied husbands, the summer wild
overs. He went back once a week
on furlough to spend a Newport Sab
bath with his wife. He became one
of the Friday-night-to-M o-Monday-morn-
ing excursionists. There was leisure
enough in his office.
He insisted on Daphne's keeping
her room in his apartment, and of
evenings he affixed himself to her
and Clay and made their company a
crowd. But they welcomed him as a
chaperon Of sort. Also, he paid his
way with liberality, except for occa-
sional spasms of retrenchment, when
he economical atrociously. He pre-
dicted that good times would never
come again. The whole world had
gone to pot and would never come
out.
Suddenly he changed his tune; sud.
denly the whisper went about that
hard times were ending.
In his bachelor days, when Bayard
was growing in commercial stature
like a young giant, he had regarded
his business with all the warmth of
poet. His office building was his
Acropolis and his Office the peculiar
temple of his muse; and her name
was Profit. He thrilled like q noet
to the epic inspiration of a big sale
and he knew Joy akin to the poet,s
revision of his scansion if he devised
scheme for reducing overhead
charge or wastage.

Long Hours and Small Pay
Rule In Far Of China

Shanghai.-American labor unions
are in many cases dissatisfied with the
eight-hour day. and would reduce the
hours OF labor to six. China has no
fixed number of hours to work. except
in the case of certain individual fac
tories and firms. With some Of the
latter the twelve-hour day prevails
while with a smaller proportion the
eight-hour day has become the custom.
In the shops, however. the hours are
just as long as the proprietor wants to
keep open. The apprentices. youths
who in America would still be in the
grammar school or the first year or
two in high school, are the ones who
suffer most from this Their work
time varies anywhere from twelve to
nineteen hours. Most of the shops
keep open at least sixteen hours.
It is estimated that in the shops of
the foreign settlement alone in Shang-
hal there are more than 10000 boy ap-
prentices. Their pay is small, or moth
ing at all, though they do receive rice
and lodging where they work.

seattle. Wash. - An anti-Japanese
defense movement has been definitely
launched here.
In no other American city has the
aggressive energy OF the men from
Nippon put the mark OF the Mikado

Elsewhere the japanese problem Is

There is scarcely a line OF industry
in which Japanese are not firmly en-
trenched and making white compet'-
tion look sick. In many the Japanese
already hold the whip hand.
Here are some Of the facts on which
the defense campaign is based:
japanese own and control hundreds

In many communities the japanese
children attend japanese schools in

These japanese business moves are
financed through Japanese organiza-
, tions. chambers of commerce and

amazingly low rate OF interest. This

venture that will give the JapancSr
an added foOtlOld in America.
The Japanese works fifteen to
eighteen hours a day. His children
increase five times as rapidly as dc
