CHAPTER XL
nUTH COURTNEY had . long
X and frank talk with her
q mother that afternoon on
her return to her own home.
MrA Courtney informed her
younger daughter that Doris was
out
1T seems Q little strange to me-"
MrA. Courtney commented, "that
Laura should not have sought out
poor Doris at this time. Their
anxiety II the same, I should think.
Laura has been anxious about her
brother; Doris about her betrothed-
Had Laura been a different kind Of
girl, her heart must have gone to
her brothers fiancee."
Ruth was at q loss to explain her
friends attitude. 1t would never do
to suggest that Laura cared more
for the younger sister than for the
older. That would be unforgivable.
well, you see," she ventured,
Laura and 1 have always been
rather more intirl ate than Doris
and Laura are Besides"-with q
sudden Inspiration, Laura did not
feel that she had q right to make
any demands on Doris just now. On
the very afternoon that she got the
news Of her brothers accident. she
reminded me that l must go home
at once to Doris But l told her
that I would not be needed while
you were here"
These words had the effect Of
slightly modifying tho parents
judgment
81 am glad you appreciate how
great was Doris dependence upon
me-" she said. yet 1t should not
have been necessary, Ruth. for you
to be reminded Of your sisters need
Of your sympathy at that crisis"
IT did not need to be reminded Of
II, mother" The girl strove 10
speak patiently. 81 arranged to be
back here by the time that Doris
returned from the matinee-with
Ralph Norton"
Something in her manner OF ~
tering the name Of Doris admirer
impressed the mother"
Matter Of opinisA
Whyr-
II have not said that I do not like
him. the girl replied. Doris likes
him-and he is her friend, no.
mine"
Then, to avoid the discussion OF
a disagreeable subject, she changed
the current OF her mothers
thoughts by remarking:
Laura has just received a long
letter from her father, telling her
a good deal about Hughs condi-
ton"
oh. has she?- Mrs Courtney was
Immediately interested And, OF
course, she read il 10 you. Well,
since she did not think fit to send
II over to Doris TO read, perhaps
you will tell me what Mr.. Rodney
says"
Without further preamble she re-
peated as nearly as possible what
Mr.. Rodney had written.
"Oh. poor boy" Mrs. Courtney
commented when the recital was
ended. And he has such lovely
eyes! But his father seems to
think they are going to be all right
eventually. doesn't he?"
Yes Ruth said quickly. He
said the discomfort was only tenn
porary."
AT her mothers words a strange
fear had seized her Suppose Hugh's
sight should be affected! But no
nothing as awful as that was to be
apprehended. His father had never
even intimated it.
And he speaks Of the injury
being TO the upper part of thu face"
, Mrs. COURTNEY observed. Did he
Fuggest there would be any disng-
urFment?"

son had come! Unwillingly she left
the room and went downstairs per-
haps to have a few words with her
son in private.
AS soon as she went out / told
my companion to lift up the cover
a black metal box, but it was
locked.
Mother and son then entered. I
asked her il she knew where her
daughter kept the key for the box
She did not know, but said that her
daughter would return any moment.
Having finished our search. I was
ready to go downstairs with them
for further consultation.
AS soon as we were seated in the
library the mother began to PRO-
test vehemently that her daughter
was innocent of all reasonable
doings and that her daughters
friendship with DR.. Muck was due
to her love Of music. She did not
suspect that her daughter had al
ready suggested to DIR. Muck to cast
all ordinary precautions to the four
winds.
Within q few moments the elder
daughter came in, and we were
properly introduced to her by
her brother. She was at once &C
quainted with the mission with
which we were intrusted. UpoI
this she broke down and wept bit
terly until my companion and my
self. two hardened agents of the
Department of Justice, could hardly
restrain our tears. The proud
mother sat silently while tears
rolled down the checks. like SO
many beads. The brother again
assured us very politely that his
sister would return presently and
furnish us with the key to the
strong box.

Vancouver, b. c., Sept 21.-The

naught New Mexico at sea today,
marred the arrival here of the Pacific
fleets flagship and the destroyers An
thony and Ludlow a few hours later
and upset most of the elaborate plans
for the entertainment of the Ameri-

The ships of the squadron dropped
anchor at Port Atkinson at o'clock,
while thousands of Canadians lined
the adjacent shores to give the visit
ing battle craft an enthusiastic well

At a conference between Command
err Manchester OF the New Mexico and
Dr. A. S. Monroe, port physician, it
was decided there would be no visit
of the civic reception committee to
the New Mexico, no shore leave for
the sailors and no luncheon to the
Prince of Wales Tuesday. when Adj

aboard the dreadnaught.
The visit Of the squadron, it Is ex-

day night instead of Tuesday after
noon, since the health regulations will
preclude the possibility of the Prince
of Wales travelling to Victoria as Adj

MEN AT PUEBLO PLANT
TAKE BELONGINGS HOME

Pueblo, Colo, Sept. 21.-Hundreds
of employees of the Minnequa Steel
plant of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company took their personal belong-
ings home with them tonight when
they finished their shifts. The ma
jority of these men are said to be
members of the steel workers union
and do not intend to return to work
tomorrow morning. Others were
men who are not members of the
union, but knowing that the strike
will occur in the morning and realiz-
ing that the plant may be shut down
for days, weeks or months, took their
belongings home for safe keeping.
The steel strike is certain to occur
in the morning, although there are
many business men of this city who
believe that the strike Will yet be
averted, but cannot explain just how.
Officials of the company an
nounced that the plant will be open
as usual in the morning and those
employees who desire to work under
the present conditions, which means
work under the Rockefeller Industrial
representation plan instead of the
Union contract as demanded by union
leaders, will be welcomed back to
their old jobs.

national administration as the center

election OF King Swope, republican,
in a democratic congressional district
is very unpopular in Kentucky. Inc

NPERTURbED BY
MEN s DECISION
Corporation Heads Show No
indications That They Are.
Nearing a Strike Which May
Halt Business for Months,

New York, Sept. 21,-The usual
Sunday calm prevailed today at the
headquarters of the United States
Steel corporation. There was no in
dication of uneasiness over the tact
that a strike designed to force suspect
sion of operations in all the companies,
las plants in twenty states Will go
into effect tomorrow.
Ebert H. Gary. chairman OF the
board of directors, and James A. Far
rell, president of the corporation,
spent today at their country homes
MIR. Gary adhered to his policy or
silence. Each subsidiary has been
given permission to, meet the SITUATION
as its officials see fit The only gem
eral order made public was the letter
from Mr.. Gary to the presidents OF the
various subsidiary companies direct
ing them not to yield on the principe
of the open shop"
1t is not probable any comment will
be made until the corporation learns
what percentage of its 26S,000 en-
ployes responds to the strike call.
These reports must come from plants
In Pennsylvania. Ohio, New Jersey,
MARYLAND, Massachusetts,, Illinois, In
bama, California. Washington, Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, Wisconsin. Kansas,
Minnesota, West Virginia, Delaware,
New York and Ontario Canada.
Half Million Affected.
1t was estimated the number of
workers affected directly or indirectly
by the strike will aggregate half a
million. The average daily pay of the
corporations employees, including the
administrative and selling force, is
1929, according to a recent report to
the directors. This is an increase of
116 per cent since 1914. when the
average was Sass. The average an
nual pay in 1918 was $3.50.
Properties owned by the corpora
ton were valued on January LIST last
at 1,87t,261,897 and its total assets
aggregated $2,57161T,175. The undi-
vided surplus amounted to Sass, SSS,-
421 and its income for the year 1918
was $15S,631, $3.50
Records Of the corporation show
that 60,741 employees have become
shareholders in the companies FOL
which they work. They own l56,6S'
shares of stock and their pay ranges
from $3.50 a day to $50 a day.
In a recent report submitted to TIE
! director it was shown that $12,65O,0O
was expended in welfare work II
| 1918. The pension rolls of the corpor-
alton for 1918 show 2.90; persons on
! the lists with payments OF more thar

| including the endowment of $4,000
! 600 created by the late Andrew Car
negie in 1901. is now more than $l2,'

The report of the welfare bureau
shows that in all localities where i
