CHAPTER Xxx

Most loving fathers are jealous OF
men whom their daughters admire.
Desiree was the only creature whom
Samuel Leighton loved deeply, and,
had Smith been her equal, he would
have been irritated by her champion
ship of the young man AS it was,
added to the parents natural jeol-
ousy was his wounded pride that his
daughter should show a sentimental
loyalty for a man in his employ
a chauffeur of whom he knew moth
ing except what an unknown cor
respondent had written.
Leighton had already forgotten
that only q few hours ago he had
declared to Jefferson his confidence
in Smith 1t was one thing to be-
lieve the fellow was honest, but quite
another for Desiree to try to prove
the chauffeur in the right and her
father in the wrong.
For a while Leighton was very
angry.
His temper was of the quick and
rather violent type. But his love
for the child was stronger than his
temper. When he had sat alone
smoking for an hour, after Deslree
had retired to her room, he was
willing to regard the whole affair
in a more temperate spirit.
OF course. Desiree has spoken
very foolishly - yet, after all, she
was ony a girl and had inheriteo
her mothers impulsive disposition.
The mans face softened as he re-
membered Desiree's mother-so like
her child in looks and disposition.
Desiree had been attracted by TINS
good-looking chap, first because he
had had a wound stripe on his
sleeve-then because he had been
suspected of a theft Of which he
was innocent.
ANY warm-h hearted girl would
have espoused the cause of a young
soldier who had been wrongfully
accused. So, after all, Desiree, with
her sentimental tendencies, could
scarcely be blamed for her passing
indignation.
Her father was sure that it was a
passing sentiment. For one thing
she would never see Smith again.
The chauffeur had left his position
in anger. He would know better
than to show his face here in the
future. He need never. expect his
former employer to recommend him
to anyone!
A Comforting Reflection
A second later Leighton was call
ing himself a fool for fancying that
Smith would ask a favor of him.
"I really can't blame the chap
for getting a bit hot over the situ-
alton" he unused. Had I been in
his shoes I would have been vexed.
too. But now he is gone and we
can drop him and his behavior from
our minds. In a few days Desiree
will have forgotten all about him"
With this comforting reflection he
went to bed and to sleep.
Desiree. too, spent an hour in deep
thought-although she went to bed
and put out her light before letting
her thoughts dwell on her recent
dispute with her father
She tried to convince her con-
science that she had been in the
wrong-but her efforts were vain.
surely she had been right In resent
ing her fathers sneers at n man who
had been his faithful employe.
Then she appreciated that in talk
Ing this line of argument she was
not dealing honestly with herself.

NEEDS FUEL AND
RAW MATERIAL
Germany Losing Trade Be-
cause of These Two
Factors

Icipsic. oct. 14.-Robert Schmidt,
Germany's food and oconmic minis
ter, in a speech at the Leipsic fair,
said Germany was "sick with two
diseases, lack of raw materials and
fuel.
During my visit to the fair build
ings," he said, II heard constant
complaints about the lack of coal.
We have the workers and we have
the orders in plenty, we can easily
But when l asked each individual
exhibitor why he did not accept
orders he replied invariably that he
lacked raw material and. fuel. 1t is
true that every effort is being made
to force Germany back into an in
ferior place, not in the usual way
of competition, but through politi-
cal methods. German trade, how
ever, will build its way in world
trade, for no power can prevent the
hunger for goods where it can be
advantageous satisfied.
People are accusing us of again
having recourse to the dumping sys-
tenn We do not merit this accusa-
tion, and ! must deny it most ener-
getically. l have the hope that in
spite of all hindrances we will soon
clil.b up to prosperity if work and
constructive power, raw materials
and coal are placed at our disposal
in sufficient quantities.
I'VE need the world market. The
pressure will be removed from Ger
many and we will get credit abroad.
We must be convinced that we are
again to climb. This people is not
to be destroyed economically. If all
energies revive, 1 hope that we are

to Jail. I haven't even told you she
brought it back of her own free will.
And yet you understand. You have
pity for her"
Pity" repeated Jim, and 1 was
never more surprised that at the way
he said that, for I'd thought the Har-
rison pride had no understanding OF
the need Of mercy. PITY? We all
need 1t. Go as far as you like with
the Condor child or anyone else

And if Fate knew what was going
to happen the very next day-how
she must have grinned.

said Jim.
"You?" I asked uneasily.

you'll come to me. Then there will
be perfect confidence between us.
Jim gave me an odd start and con-
trolled 1t suddenly. Then he said
returning with obvious relief to the

PLANS TO HANG
THE kA|SE R AGAIN
ENCOUNTER SNAG
Case Of Napoleon Cited and
Recalled That in Case Of the
French Emperor No Trial.
Was Ever Held,

Paris, April 1S (by the Associated
Press) The plan of the council of
four to have Belgium prosecute the
former German emperor on the
charge of responsibility for the war is
meeting with objections which are
again bringing UP the whole subject
for revision.
Those who have the matter in hand
divide the question of war response
bilities into two distinct classes. The
first class includes military and naval
offenders like General Ludendorff
and Admiral Won TirpitZ. and those
accused of various excuses against
the usual rules of warfare. The sec
ond class includes former Emperor
William, chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg and others whose of
Tense is chiefly of political nature.
Concerning the first class, that of
military offenders, it is agreed that
there IS no international court-martial
suitable to undertake such military
trials, but it is pointed out that every
country has its own system of coul't
martial for military offenses conf
mitted within it's borders. This has
developed the suggestion that these
countries combine their courts mar
tial and act under similar procedure
codified from all the separate mill
tary codes. A joint Court-martial
you'd thus be constituted capable of
dealing with offenders of the first, OF
military and naval class.
Concerning the political offenders,
| it is said that a tribunal is not neces-
sary and would be ineffective, owing
to the legal immunity of political Of
| Tenders. Therefore it is maintained
that the acton against Napoleon
| furnishes a precedent for the determi-
nation of the allied course as a gen
eral measure of policy,
| In the case of Napoleon there was
no trial, but he was confined on the
! Island of ST. Helena as genera
measure of policy for the tranquility
of Europe. Some such general policy
is designed to reach eX-Emperor Will
| liam and other political offenders
with Belgium or another country
against which the political offense:
charged were chiefly directed acting
for the purpose of securing the extra
dition of the individual as preimi
nary to putting the general policy into
effect.

CARPENTERS WILL ENTER
FIELD WITH CONTRACTORS

Phoenix, April 1S.-The union car
penters of Phoenix today carried the
war over. wages into the camp of the
contractors and advertised that they
were prepared to figure on any job
in the city.
A week ago the carpenters, follow
ing their failure to persuade the con-
tractors to pay the 81 a day scale,
threatened to So into the contracting
business on their own account and
today they carried out their threat.
Their advertisement states that Car
penters' Local 1889, with headquar-
tiers in the labor temple, is prepared
to figure on contracting Jobs and to
carry them out.
The contention of the union men is
that they were promised 81 day on
March /, that a few of the contractors
paid this wage for "a short time and
then dropped back to the old scale
of $3.50 with the majority Since then
numerous conferences have been held
but the men have nos succeeded in
obtaining 81 rate. .s.
