there, u%ndeniably such a figure, with
JAMIE and Mary Sharon threatening to
burst at any moment, II laughter were
longer denied them, Lucy sat looking
at him with her eyebrows delicately
lifted in casual, polite inquiry. Her
own complete composure was what
most CALLED him.
"Nothing of the slightest impor-
tance!" he managed to say. II was
just leaving. Good-afternoon!" And

before he closed the door he heard
from jamie and Mary Sharon the out
burst of wild, irrepressible emotion
which his performance had inspired.
He drove home in a tumultuous
mood, a Il almost ran down two ladies'
who were engaged in absorbing con-
versation ut Il crossing. They were
his Aunt Fanny and Mrs. Johnson; q
Jerk of the reins at the last instant
saved them by a few inches; but their
conversation was so interesting that
they were unaware Of their danger,
and did not notice the runabout, nor
how close it came to them.
He drove into the Majors stable too
fast, the sagacious Pendennis saving
himself from going through q partition
by n swerve which splintered q 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 nov ap-
preaching completion, but still in a
state of awness hideous to George
though, for that matter, they were
never to be anything except hideous
to him. 4
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

house with him, continuing their con-
versation and delaying their parting.
George stared at them. A hot dis
like struck him at the sight of Eu-
gene; and a vague revulsion, like a
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

steering wheel; 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 q school friend.
The information, delivered in the
library, just before old Sans appear
ance to announce dinner, set Miss
Minafer in quite a f1utter. "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"
Probably afraid to-" the Major sug-
gested. didn't know but he might
break down and cry if he tried to
speak Of It'll" He clapped his grandson
OF the shoulder, inquiring jocularly
"That it, Georgie?"
George made no reply, but he was
red enough to justify the Majors de.
veloping a chuckle into laughter
though Miss Fanny, observing her
nephew keenly, got IN 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
all the rest Of us off the streets"
IF we do we'll even things up by
making the streets five or ten times
as long as they are now," Eugene re.
turned.
Show do you propose to do that?

The Major was skeptical. "Dream

us that you're only dreaming; because
If people go to moving that far, real

mot very likely! How are things
going to be kept bright and clean

"yhey aren't" Eugene replied quick.

all his little dinners were pleasant,
and that this n 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 Isabel's and the Majors
voices became inaudible in the hall.
Then she said quickly, and in a low
voice so eager that it vas unsteady:
George, you've struck just the
treatment to adopt; you're doing the
right thing!"

others with a faint rustling of her

black skirts, leaving George mystifed
but injurious.
In truth, however, he was neither so
comfortable o so imperturbable as
he appeared. He felt some gratifica-
ton; he had done n little to put the
man in his place-that man whose in
f1uence upon his daughter was precise
ly the same thing as a 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 n Of saying
it; and George, divining her thought,
amiably made an opening for her.
"Well, old lady," he said, %indulsent-
ly, "you needn't look so worried. I
won't be tactless with Morgan aguin.
After this I'll just keep out Of his
way" ~-~-~"
"Dear," she said, II wish you'd tell
me something: Why don't you like Eu-
gcne?"
ooh, I like him well enough" George
returned. with a short laugh, as he sat
down and began to unlace his shoes.
II like him we'll enough-in his place."
"No, DEAR" she said hurriedly. "Ive
had a feeling from the very first that
you didn't really like him-that you
really never liked him. I can't under
stand it, dear; I don't see what can be
the matter"
"Nothing's the matter"
This easy declaration naturally
failed to carry great weight, and Isa-

seems so queer, especially when you
feel as you do about his daughter"
At this, George stopped unlacing his
shoes abruptly, and sat up. "How do
I feel about his daughter?" he de-
manded.
"IVell, it's seemed-as if-as if"
Isabel began timidly. 1T did seem
At least, you haven't looked at any
other girl eve since they came here,
and-certainly you've seemed very
much interested in her. Certainly
you've been very great friends?"
"Well, what Of that?" g
"It's only that I'm like your grand
father: I can't see how you could be
so much interested in q girl and-and
not feel very pleasantly toward her
father"
SWELL, I'll tell you something"
George said slowly, and a frown Of
concentration could be seen upon his
brow, as from a profound effort at
determination. "The truth is, I
don't believe I've ver thought of the
two together, exactly-at least, not
until lately. I've always thought Of
Lucy just as Lucy, and of Morgan just
as Morgan. I've always thought Of
her as a person herself, not as any
body's daughter. II I have a friend, I
don't see that it's incumbent upon me
to like my friends relatives. Now,

IN CIVIL SERVICE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Senator
McAean's bill providing that women
shall have equal opportunity with
men in appointments TO positions in
the Federal Civil Service will have
the backing of the National Wom-
ems Trade Union League with its
affiliated membership of 1000 or
ganized women wage carncrs, &C
cording to Mrs. Raymond Robins,
President, and Miss Agnes Nestor,
Legislative Chairman of the League,
in Joint letter to Senator Mclean
today Copies of the bill will also
be sent out by the legislative head
quarters of the League in Wash
ington to the various women's or
CARNATIONS throughout the country,
with letters calling attention to the
importance of the measure to work
ing women in private industry as
well as in Government employ.
Women have struggled for years
and are still struggling for equal
rights and equal compensation with
men in industry" says the letter to
Senator Mclean; ''to have the
principle of equality written into
the law of the land will affect not
only the women now and in future
to be employed by the Government,
whom it directly concerns, but all
women who must earn their living
in any occupation whatsoever"
Senator McLean's bill provides
THAT nominating and appointing
officers when requesting certifica-
tions from the eligible list of the
Civil Service Commission, shall not
specify sex, unless sex is a physical
barrier to the proper performance
of the duties of the position to be
filled" The bill has been referred |
to the Senate Committee on Civil |
Service and Retrenchment.

CAN'T SETTLE
INDUSTRIAL UNREST

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The
greater portion of President Will
sons message to the first regular
session of the Sixty-sixth Congress,
which convened December l, was
devoted to the labor question. Be
cause of illness the President did
not read his message to the law
makers, as is his custom.
Summed up, the message declared
that it was idle to talk of suppress
ing industrial unrest and that it was
necessary to remove the causes for
this unwholesome condition.
Speaking broadly, the President
said that unrest arose from the fail
ure of the Government to arrive
speedily at a just and permanent
peace which would permit of re-
turn to normal conditions, from the
TRANSMISSION of radical theories from
seething European countries pend
ing such delay, from heartless prof
iteering that has increased living
costs, and from the Vaccinations
of passionate and malevolent agi-
tators."
1T seems to me-" said the Presi-
dent, that in dealing with this sit
uation Congress should not be i'm
patient or drastic, but should seek
rather TO remove the causes" and
that there can be no permanent
and lasting settlements between cap
ital and labor which do not recog-
nize the fundamental concepts for
which labor has been struggling
through the years.
Governments must recognize the
right of men collectively to bargain
for human objects that have at their
base the mutual protection and well
fare of those engaged in all indus
tries. Labor must not longer be
treated as a commodity. 1t must
be regarded as the activity of human
beings, possessed of deep yearnings
and desires.
Return to the old standards of
wage and industry in employment
are unthinkable. The terrible trag-
edy OF war which has just ended and
which has brought the world to the
verge of chaos and disaster, would
be in vain if there should ensue
return to the conditions of the past.
Europe itself, whence has come
the unrest which now holds the
world at bay is an example OF
standpatism in these vital human
matters which America might well
accept as an example, not to be fol-
lowed but to be studiously avoided,
The President made a short, indi"
rect reference to the Miners strike
In connection with his statement
that the right to strike sis invio-
late and ought not to be interfered
with by any process of govern
ment" An exception was made
where the Government found it nee
essary Ito protect its power and ma
jesty against the challenge of any
class"

THE CODDL|NC OF
PROF|TEERS WILL
NOT BRING PEACE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Domes-
tic peace and social order will not
result through a policy of deport
ing reds" and coddling profiteers,
declared A. r. OF J.. Vice-President
Woll in a letter to Will II. Hays,
Chairman of the Republican Nation
al Committee, in reply to a query by
the latter regarding labor's views
on social and Industrial questions.
The trade unionist's answer in
cludes several thousand words, and
it's tone is indicated by the follow
ing:
ut is a sad commentary upon the
history and development of our land
that the State and Nation, instead of
maintaining a just, fair and natural
equilibrium of personal rigts, privi-
leges and relations, not only under
took to place arbitrary corporate
POWERS and advantages in the hands
Of a few, but at the same time I'M
dertook by affirmative action to de-
stroy or render ineffective the hope
and aspiration of the great mass of
our people-the workers-to protect
themselves against the exercise of
these great corporate powers dele
gated exclusively into the hands of
few to dominate the lives and des-
tiny of the many without restraint
or limitation"
The trade unionist opposes the
giving charter rights to corpora
lions that deny their workers the
right to bargain collectively.
Unless such a check is placed on
the corporate powers, now granted
to the State by individuals, the do
nestle conflict which is now raging
in the midst of us cannot and will
not be permanently ended.
ut should also be remembered
that from the inception of modern
civilization the privileged few, Ell
ther by an alleged divine right. her
editary assumption or by legislation,
nave put property rights, most of
which were stolen rights, above hui
man rights. We have now reached
period of civilization when men
should be placed before and above
the dollar. Activities and results
with this end in view should not
and cannot longer be ignored with
safety to the nation and our people.
II We are to remove the existing
unrest, it is essential that criminal
profiteering shall be put to an end.
The cost OF necessities has gone I'D
with leaps and bounds, and this in
crease has not been due to a proper
tionate increase of labor cost. On
the contrary, the workers have been
unable to keep pace with the ever
increasing cost of the necessities of
life and as long as this condition ex-
lists serious discomfort and unrest
will prevail.
ITO deport the reds and at the
same time coddle the profiteers will
not bring us to state of domestic
tranquility"
