continue as it had during these few days what dangerous quicksands might she Tot find? How was she to guard herself against the future, friendless and alone, Where already her few innocent actions had caused such questionable glances and | remarks?
 The thought of Pedro Cabannello, with his glossy black hair, his glittering eyes, the suave Latin-American manner one minute and the fiery temptuosity of pas sion the next, unnerved her. Must she face this man day after day in the office, and yet continue the tasks ahead of her? How could she stand the strain of sordid surroundings and ges- tured inRuendoes of the boarders and then go down to work, fighting her way through the seething mobs in the subway trains. to give worthy service to her em- I ployer?
 H. Montague Mortimer was a puzzle to her. He had shown her every consider ation and a generosity whichNwas pug gle to her. She had never heard of an employer advancing salary to an un- known stenographer for the purchase Of pretty clothes; even now the sharp ache of womanIy shame smote her as she real ized her indebtedness to him. "Oh, it is wrong all wrong! Jane told herself, sitting up once more. and facing facts tearlessly, although no less fear lessly. q must do something to escape from the net which threatens me"
 Yet what could she do?
 It was true that her employer had said no word by which she could suspect any, thing but sincerity of sentiments He had wanted her to look smart, up-to-date and "prosperous;" he had told her that she could pay for the new clothes as soon as possible. But Jane could not forget the little slips of conversation in which he had many times intimated that she could be of greater service to him than an ordinary stenographer.
 And there was the grizzle-browed, gray haired Hoskins her employers intimate. and that mysterious contract by which the formers team" of women were to sell stocks at an exorbitant commission. And Hoskins' conversation with her, his virtual suggestion that she, too, could sell the securities and make tremen- dous profit by her work-what could that prestage but some unknown, threatening complication which would bring further worries and more bitter tears?
 Jane Brown admitted to herself that she had entirely misjudged her own cap abilities In the quiet days in little Fern bank she had believed that it would be a simple matter to secure modest, but sufficient salary, in some busy office, surrounded by other stenographers ana omen workers, where the cares Of the day would end with the hour of office closing. Here, however, she was sur rounded entirely by men all apparently working at cross and mysterious pur- poses of their own, and more lonely and helpless than ever was her own condi- ton. What could she-what should she do:

By nature woman is an economist and moralist. Her standards are a gauge of community advancement. For the gen eral benefit of the family her standards must be high.

STEADY GROWTH
OF PARCEL
POST SERVICE
st. J. Post Office Received
Nearly 5000 Packages in
Two Weeks

In response to a request by the
Post Office department to make a
detailed report of all parcel post
packages handled from Oct. 1 to Oct.
Is inclusive, the St. Johnsbury Of
flee has completed its report which
will be of much interest to all.
The number of parcels received at
this office from other Offices in the
two weeks period was 5,792 and they
were delivered as follows: Through
the general delivery and boxes, 995;
by city carriers on their regular trips,
985; by rural carriers, 482; by special
delivery, 25; by the parcel post car
rier, 3,305.
The number of packages mailed out
from this Office during this period
was 2,794. These weighed 1912
pounds and the postage paid was
$292S9.
The last count taken before this
one was in the two weeks period in
October, 1917, and comparison be-
tween the two is of interest. Two
years ago the number of parcels re-
ceived at this office from other offices
was 4,425, and they were delivered as
follows: Through the general deliv-
cry and boxes, 688; by city carriers
on regular trips, 757; by rural car
riers, 199 by special delivery, 6; by
the regular parcel post carrier, 2,775.
: In the 1919 period there were Gil
insured packages and 50 c. O. d.
packages handled, while in the same
period two years ago there were 2S2
insured packages and lG c. O. ID. par
cells.
These statistics show conclusively
the steady growth and popularity Of
the parcel post.

Villas MAKES
BITTER ATTACK
ON LEAGUE
Chittenden County Senator
Talks for Hour and Half
-
at Newport

Bitterly assailing President Will
son and Premier Lloyd George of
England, Martin S. Villas, state sena-
tor for Chittenden county, speaking
before a small audience at School
House hall last night declared that
the League of Nations does not make
for peace but for war. Senator Villas
delivered his address in a very dra-
matte menner and drew a vivid pic
ture of the terrible mess the United
States would get itself into if she en-
tered such league. The senator
talked for 1 hour and 80 minutes but
held the interest of his audience
throughout his speech because of the
tremendous power he put behind his
words.
Senator Villas said:
"The League of Nations is not pri-
marily and fundamentally a league
TO enforce peace but an alliance be-
tween certain nations, of which the
five principal nations, England,
France, United States, Japan and
Italy form the nucleus, for the pur-
poses of self-protection and hold to
the pelf and plunder taken from Ger
man under the conditions of the
treaty of peace. 1t is with no feeling
Of pity for Germany, however, that
| speak of these terms. &
ut is my belief after having inves-
tigated the league of nations that it
is not a treaty of peace but an alb
ance of the conquering nations with
the exception of the United States, to
hold the possessions they gained in
the war against Germany and Aus
tlia. A*.:ta .l'
:."'Under the peace treaty Germany
is left bankrupt. The hands of the
allies are. filled with spoils and
plunder..
"Lloyd George, prime minister of
England, was able to say recently in
parliament that 100000 square miles
of territory had been added to Great
Britain's possessions. Lloyd George
might have said further that tie flag
of Great Britain at the close Of the
war waves over one-siXth of IL e en-
tire world"
