Letter Carriers Want
Half Holiday Each Week
Ry associated Pre3S

Philadelphia, Sept. 6. Among
the measures discussed at to-day's
session of the National Associa ton
of Letter Carriers was the bill that
has been introduced in Congress by
Representative Kelly, of Pennsyl-
vania, which provides for official
recognition of all organizations of
employees in the classified civil SER
vice of the United States. 1t also
provides for the esta blishment of n
court of appeals for such employees.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted subject to the approval of
the council of administration of the
association.
Among the other resolutions
adopted to-day were those abolish
ing the carrying by letter carriers of
parcel post packages weighing more
than four pounds and the introduce
ton of half holidays on Saturdays.
E. j. Ryan, president of the Rail-
way Mail Clerks Association, made
an address in which he denounced
Postmaster General Burleson. "The
day is not far distant" he declared,
when these postal organizations
will have something to say as to
who is to be postmaster general and
something to say as to directions of
affairs. I say this calmly, because
such system as the one now in ef-
feet cannot endure"

TIE LOVE GAMBLER
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water

! Even now. as he walked home
ward he thrilled at the memory OF
her having turned to him with a
half-confession of something that
was troubling her.
1t was something about her pen
dant. She had started to tell him
of 1t when Miss Goddard had ap-
peared in the doorway.
What had she been about to saw?
Could this talk of the pendant in
dicate that there was suspicion in
the family as to his relationship
with the former owner of the
trinket?
David wished it had never come
Into Desiree's possession if it had
led to her unhappiness. But why
should she be unhappy about it un-
less she knew that he was the
nephew of the original owner? In
that case, she could not be dis
pleased with him or she would not
have tried tonight to give him her
confidence.
He must not let himself think
along these lines any longer. He was
her fathers chauffeur. In that
practical thought lay his only safety
In that thought and in flight. H
would seize the first opportunity to
give up his present position. Then
he would go away and start life
again.
Perhaps sometime he might make
good, away out West somewhere.
Then he could come back and con-
fess all to this girl
He caught himself sharply and
set his teeth grimly.
The Great Obstacle
She was rich mans daughter
That in itself would keep him from
confessng his love until he had q
good income of his own. He would
not demean himself by marrying a
rich woman when he himself was
poor. The suggestion was intoler-
able. And it would be many years
before he could make enough
money to support Desiree as she
should be supported.
Moreover, she would never give
him second glance. The humility
that accompanies true love told him
that.
Yeti would be long before he
would have a right to ask any girl
to marry him. Meanwhile, the one
girl in the world for him would
undoubtedly be married to some
man far more worthy of her than
he could ever hope to be.
But nobody would ever love her
better than he did. On that fact he
would be willing to stake his life.
There was nothing else worth
working for now, he unused. He
was young, yet without Desiree life
stretched before him like a dreary
vista.
Wearily, he climbed the steps of
the lodging house on Lexington ave-
nue. and softly let himself into the
narrow hall. The place had a rank,
stale smell that sickened him slight
ly.
AS he fitted his key into the lock
of his own room he saw an envelope
stuck under the bottom of the door.
When he had shut himself into his
room and turned on the light, he
picked up the envelope. The corner
bore the name of Henry Andrews.
Miss Jeanne De LANES lawyer.
David remembered that, moved by
an inexplicable impulse, he had sent
his address to this man soon after
taking his present position. He had
confided to him that to his employ
er he was known as David Smith"
With a stirring of curiosity. he
tore open the envelope and drew
forth the letter.

Gen. Connor Scores
Herding Of Prisoners

Paris, Friday, Sept. 5.-Brigadier
General d. w. Connor chief of the
service of supply of the American
EXpeditionary Force, was before the
Congressional subcommittee inves-
tigating Army affairs here nearly all
day, to-day, giving evidence regard
ing the sale of surplus supplies and
prison abuses in France. He said
that prisoners accused of simply
infractions of military rules should
have been separated in prisons from
men who were convicted of crimes,
but thought that Brigadier General
w. w. Harts and Colonel Z. p.
Grinstead. of the 15Sth Infantry,
gould not be held responsible for
abuses which have been under dis
cussion.
Colonel Grinstead was brought
before the efficiency board instead
Aof before a court martial as n result
of charges against him, and General
Connor said to-day that this action
was taken on report by the judge

a conviction could not be obtained

Chapter LII

Chapter LII
Well, she had done her best, and
to no avail!
Such was Helen Goddard's re-
Elections as she drove home from
the Leightons' on the night of the
affair in celebration of the signing
of the armistice.
When she left David in the dining
room, and gone out into the hall in
reply to Desiree's summons, she
learned that the taxicab she had
ordered was awaiting her. Mrs.
Duffield's cab was also at the door.
Helen was secretly rather glad of
this, for it meant that the widow
tete-a-tete with her brother to-
night.
But of course the evil hour had
only been postponed. In a day or
two Mrs. Duffield would tell Samuel
Leighton what she had learned.
Then Smith would be under sus-
picion.
Yet she had done her best, Helen
reiterated to her uneasy self. To be
sure, she had talked too freely with
Jefferson and Mrs. Duffield. But
she had tried to make repa arations
by putting Smith on his guard. And,
in return for this, he had as good
as told her he could not be equally
frank with her. He had declined to
answer her simple question about
his knowledge of the pendant.
1t was strange that even now she
could not believe him guilty. He
might be shielding someone else -
one of the maids, perhaps. Yet that
would surely be a most ridiculous
thing to do, and very unfair to his
employers.
Anyway, she would fret herself no
longer about it. Smith had evidently
considered her warning of too little
consequence to heed.
Very well-let him look out for
himself!
This was what David Smith
wanted to do-but not in the way
Helen Goddard had in mind.
The evening had given him cause
for much anxious thought.
First of all, he knew that Walter
Jefferson had recognized him. That
in itself meant that an exposure of
his identity was imminent. Such
exposure would naturally incur his
employers anger. And this anger
would be accompanied by displeas-
ure-even disgust-on the part of
Samuel Leighton's daughter.
In Love With Desiree
This. David De Laine felt, was
more than he could endure.
For he could no longer pretend
to conceal from himself that he
loved Desiree Leighton as he had
never supposed he could love any
woman. The time was past when
he could reason with himself. He
could not stay where he must see
her frequently and maintain his
peace of mind.
