there, undeniably such figure, with
jamie and Mary Sharon threatening to
burst at any moment, If laughter were

most CALLED him. ea ~

with long strides he reached the door
and hasteneu through the hall; but
before he closed the door he heard
from jamie and Mary Sharon the out.
burst Of wild, irrepressible emotion
which his performance had inspired.
Z He drove home in a tumultuous
mood, a Il almost ran down two ladies

and did not notice the runabout, nor
how close it came to them.
He drove into the Majors stablestoo
fast, the sagacious Pendennis saving
himself from going through partition
by a swerve which splintered shaft
of the runabout and almost threw the
driver to the floor. George swore, and
then swore again at the fat old darkey,
Tom, for giggling at his swearing.
He strobe from the stable, crossed
the Majors back yard, then passed
behind the new houses, on his way
home. These structures were now ap-
preaching completion, but still in q
state of rawness hideous to George
though, for that matter, they were
never to be anything except hideous
to him.
In this temper he emerged from be-
hind the house nearest his own and,
glancing toward the street, saw his
mother standing with Eugene Morgan
upon the cement path that led to the
front gate. She was bareheaded and
Eugene held his hat and stick in his
hand; evidently, he had been calling
upon her, and she had come from the
house with him, continuing their cons
versation and delaying their parting.
George stared at them. A hot dis.
like struck him at the sight of Eu-
gene; and vague revulsion, like o
strange, unpleasant taste in his mouth,
came over him as he looked at his
mother; her manner was eloquent OF
so much thought about her companion
and of such reliance upon him.
The two began to walk on toward
the gate, where they stopped, turning
to face each other, and Isabel's glance
passing Eugene, fell upon George. In
stantly she smiled and waved her
hand to him, while Eugene turned and
nodded; but George, standing as In
some rigid trance, and staring straight
at them, gave these signals of greeting

If people go to moving that far, real

"I'm afraid So" Eugene assented.
"Unless you keep things so bright and

more attractive than the new Ones"
''Not very likely! How are things
going to be kept bright and clean

steering wheelc but Lucy only nodded
gravely and smiled no more than
George did. Nor did she accompany
Eugene to the Majors for dinner the
following Sunday evening, though
both were hidden to attend that feast,
which was already reduced in num-
bers and gayety by the absence Of
George Anderson. Eugene explained
to his host that Lucy had gone away
to visit school friend.
The information, delivered in the
library, just before old Sans appear
ance to announce dinner, set Miss
Minafer in quite a futter. "Why,
George!" she said, turning to her
nephew, "How does it happen you
didn't tell us?" And with both hands
opening, as if to express her innocence
of some conspiracy, she exclaimed to
the others: "He's never, said one word
to us about Lucy's planning to go
away!"

gested. didn't know but he might
break down and cry if he tried to
speak of It'll" He clapped his grandson
on the shoulder, inquiring jocularly !:
'"That it, Georgie?"
George made no reply, but he was
red enough to justify the Majors de-
veloping chuckle into laughter
though Miss Fanny, observing her
nephew keenly, got an impression that
his fiery blush was in truth more fiery
than tender.
After the arrival Of coffee the Ma
jor was rallying Eugene upon some
rival automobile shops lately built in
a suburb, and, already promising to
flourish.
II suppose they'll either drive you
out of the business" said the old gen.
tleman, ''or else the two Of you'll drive

''If we do Wen even things up by
making the streets five or ten times

turned.

all his little dinners were pleasant,
and that this one was no exception.
George did not move, and Fanny,
following the other two, came round
the table and paused close. beside his
chair; but George remained posed in
great imperturbability, cigar between
teeth, eyes upon, ceiling, and paid no
attention to her. Fanny waited until
the sound of Isabels and the Majors
voices became inaudible in, the hall.
Then she said quickly, and in low
voice so eager that twas unsteady:
"George, you've struck just the
treatment to adopt; you're doing the
right thing!"

black skirts, leaving George mystified
but injurious.
In truth, however, he was neither so
comfortable nor so imperturbable as
he appeared. He felt some gratifica-
ton; he had done little to put the
man in his place-that man whose in
fluence upon his daughter was precise
ly the same thing as contemptuous
criticism Of George ANDERSON Nina
fer, and of George Anderson Nina
fer's 'ideals Of life." Lucy's going
away without a word was intended,
he supposed as a bit Of punishment.
Well, he wasn't the sort of man that
people were allowed to punish; he
could demonstrate that to them
since they started it!
Isabel came to Georges door that
night and, when she had kisesd him
goodnight, she remained in the open
doorway with her hand upon his
shoulder and her eyes thoughtfully
lowered, so that her wish to say some
thing more than goodnight was evil
dent. Not less obvious was her per-
plexity about the manner Of saying
it; and George, divining her thought,
aniably made an opening for her.
"Well, old lady," he said. indulgent-
ly, ''you needn't look so worried. I
won't be tactless with Morgan again.
After this I'll just keep out of his
way"
"Dear," she said, IT wish you'd tell
me something: Why don't you like Eu-
gene"
"Oh, like him well enough" George
returned, with short laugh, as he sat
down and began to unlace his shoes.

Milk.

And now come rumors of an in
crease in the price of milk in the au-
tumn of two cents a quart and per
haps four cents. The usual precise
explanations of the necessity are
given: the drivers of milk wagons
want more pay, farm laborers want
more pay, milk costs more to produce.
In addition a new reason for the ad-
vance appears: Western dairy farmers
are active buyers OF grade cows,
New York dairy farmers are taking
advantage Of the opportunity to re-
ducc their herds, and consequently the
supply of milk will decrease.
If the price of milk is raised again
there will doubtless be more investi-
cations, the result of which may be
expected to be explanations satisfac-
tory 10 everybody except the con-
sumer. As a novel experiment why
not cease investigating and, instead,
import some Western dairy farmers?
From the prices they are reported to
be paying for cows they must find
the business profitable and to their
liking. Perhaps they could give New
York the relief which assorted Off
cial activities have heretofore failed
to achieve.

TO END RULE BY STRIKERS.
A Proposal 10 License Employees o.

To THE EDITOR OF The suN-sH: Per

Every man employed by a public util-

He should also be compelled to swear

Of the national Government and the
State Government and 10 perform his
duties to the best Of his ability, Just
ms every officer Of the United States
and of each and every State does.
There should be sentence in the
license to the effect that II the licensee
should break his contract with the pub
lie corporation which employs him he
should be regarded as deserter and
be imprisoned for so doing.
The contracts should be so drawn that
not more than one-twelfth of the same

Since the national and State Gov

charge the public, the same or similar
commissions should be authorized to
determine the maximum charges which
the employees of such corporations can
make for their services. or II you wish

There should be one public service

Mr.. Henry Ford's Generosity to
Mr.. Wilson.

Appropriately displayed In the ad.
mirable typographical dress which
habitually adorns "Mr. FoRD's Own
Page" in the personal newspaper or.
gan Of HENRY FORD of Detroit, the
Dearborn Independent, this sugges.
ton of keen interest to all Americans
has had conspicuous place:
Since the League OF Nations owes
its existence to WOODROW WILSON
more than to any other man-though
there is no desire here to disparage
or minimize the help given by the
representatives of other nations:
since the League Of Nations owes its
existence as a part of the Peace
Treaty to the insistence of WOODROW
WILSON that 1t should be a part of
that settlement-what would be more
fitting than that he should be al
lowed to finish the work he began by
becoming chairman Of the executive
committee OF the League OF Nations.
and so in fact the President of the
World Federation
With his customary historical &C
curacy Mr.. Ford credits the League
Of Nations with something it does
not possess-existence; but this is q
matter of minor concern. The greai
and pregnant and significant fact is
that the man who out of the wealth
of his ignorance thinks BENEDICT
ARNOLD was "a writer" has nominated
WOODROW WILSON for President of tn,
World. This act of idealstic generosity
on Mr.. FoRD's part is the more affect
ing because the only thing WOODROW
WILSON ever nominated Mr.. FORD fol-
was a United States Senatorshlp Mr.
Ford couldn't land.

Two American Soldiers Who Made
Good.

Early in 1918 two young men, Pri-
vate FOREST D. SEBASTIAN of Edo
RADIO, ILL.,, and Private JEFF Cook OF
Lutte, Okla, were sentenced to death
by a court-martial in France for sleep
ing on. outpost duty. There was no
doubt Of their guilt; the defence Of
fered at their trial was that they
had been on duty five consecutive
nights and were unable to sleep In
day time because wood was being
chopped in their dugout for the COM
mandlng officers quarters" Presi-
dent WILSON took the case under con-
sideration and granted both young
men a full pardon.
So far as the world knew that was
the end of the matter. The last chap
ter. however. has just been written
by the Secretary of War in letter
to the President. SEBASTIAN died In
battle In the Aisne offensive, July,
1918" thus fulfilling all requirements
Of the romancist for a worthy and
noble redemption. Cook was wounded
in the same battle land restored to
health in time to fight In the Meuse-
Argonne battle, when he again fought
CALAMITY and was the second time
wounded" While this may not meet
so fully the romantic ideal, it permits
Cook, "now restored to health and
honorably discharged from the SER
vice" to enjoy his rehabilitation in
the high favor of his former COM
rades in arms and his country.
The offence of which these two
young men were guilty is one of the
most serious in military law; so long
as there has been an organized army
the penalty perhaps has been death.
While the offence is one the gravity
OF which cannot be exaggerated, the

CANDIDATE MAY SIGN

Justice Cropssy Also Rules

Two things were determined about tie
primary law by Justice Cropsey In the
Supreme Court in Brooklyn yesterdaN
First. that a designee may witness the
signatures on his own petition secondly,
that he may sign his own petition With
out invalidating II.
These points were made in two sepa-
rate cases. In the first Alderman Alex
ander Bassett sought 10 invsldste no
petition OF Joseph de Grace, a candidate
in the primaries for the Democrats
nomination for Alderman in the Forty
eighth district. because De Grace had
put hiH name on the petition q number
of times as a witness to signatures
Justice Cropsey held there was nothing
In the law TO prevent this and the pref
erences Of the voters should not DO dis

In the second case James Sailo asked
to have thrown out the petition OF James
A. Kelly, candidate for the Democrats
nomination for the Board Of Aldermen
in the Forty-th!rd district. The only o0e
OF the allegations that Justice Cropsey
found to be correct was that Kelly had
signed his own petition.
