A Woman Betrayed Him

The night was perfect beneath the
promontory where the car had been
stopped; the lake lay still under the
glories Of a full moon. But the oc-
cupants of the car, man and a Wo-
man. had no eyes for the beauties OF
the night.
The woman was beautiful, perfect
~ attired. She was evidently Wo-
man fit to grace the 400" Her
hands bore witness to the fact that
she had never known work OF any
sort. She and the cares of the world
were strangers.
The man was different. He was an
ordinary man-even as you and |.
His brow was knit in deep thought,
his mind was apparently tortured by
some great problem. Suddenly he
broke the silence.
"Why, Oh, why, can you not stay
longer" he pleaded, at least until
after the ball?"
81 have told you once before" she
replied, "that can never spend a
moment under the same roof with a
man who tried to do such an infam-
Gus thing as you did,"
II know" he admitted, 'but that
was in fit of passion. Couldn't you
forget that and come back under the
old conditions ."
She pondered for moment. His
heart beat wildly in expectation. II
am afraid not, because ! tire of the
monotony of your home. / long for
the city, it's gay life and its oppor-
tunities. No, shall never, never
come back to you. Please drive me
to the depot"
Not far from the station he drew
up under the overhanging branches
of an elm. Once more he pleaded
with her, but she was adamant
"This is final?" he asked in last
appeal
Final"
well, then, get out and walk, and
be hanged to you and all other
cooks" he stormed. "Tll lower the
wages of anyone in my house, if
want to, or know the reason why. -

PERSHING'S TRIBUTE
TO THE RED CROSS

"It gives me real pleasure to
pledge my hearty support to
the American Red Cross. While
the opportunity for its greatest
service co1ffes during times of
war, and it's achievements dur
ing the late World war have
been unparalleled, yet there is
and perhaps there always will
be a vital need for the humans
tartan work which it renders.
"The present and former serv-
ice men can never forget the
Red Cross, not only for what it
did for them during the war,
but for what it is doing now in
the army camps and posts and
wherever needed in assisting the
ex-service men throughout the
country. The value of the
American Red Cross as peace
time organization can hardly be
over-estimated, and we owe it
our loyal support and active CO.
operation.
JOHN ]. PERSHING,
General"

their lives 1t had furnished them
with entertainment and other enjoy
ment and aid while in camp, but the
great majority had never felt the need
Of the Red Cross before entering the
service and they reasoned they would
not need its assistance now that they
were out of it again.
Since that time many thousands
have learned to know otherwise. The
Red Cross was their friend in the
service and they naturally turned to
1t when trouble and complications be-
set them in civilian life.
Nearly a Million Aided.
Through the Home Service Section,
which has taken up the task of car
ing for the soldier and sailors after
they leave the service, and their fami-
lies and dependents, nearly a million
men have been given assistance of
various kinds. This consists princi-
pally Of financial aid, finding jobs,
obtaining back pay, aIlOtments and
compensation.
The states in the central division
are beginning to realize some idea
of the volume of information work
being carried on by the Civilian Re.
lief, a part Of the Home Service de-
partment. From 1900 to 1000 cases
are handled from each state almost
every month.
The Red Cross does not confine its
activities to service men only. It also
takes care of his family. In little
town In Nebraska recently a certain
soldier stationed at the Alcatraz bar
racks for discipline was granted
clemency and his term reduced. But
he had become so respondent that he
threatened to take his life.
Found Family Destitute.
The Red Cross investigated the con
dition of his family and found they
were in destitute circumstances anC
that his mother was ILL., Moreover, ii
was found that he had been absent
without leave to go to her. Upon
presentation of the facts in the CASE
the sentence was committed and the
Red Cross is helping the family to get
on It's feet.
The fact that all the returned
bodies of dead soldiers are given a
military funeral may be partly at
tributed to the Civilian Relief bu-
reau. While the organization does
not attend to the funeral directly, ii
gives instructions through the Ameri
can Legion and where the family is
financially unable to take care of the
matter, the Red Cross comes to the
assistance and offers relief.
Public health hospitals are filed
with ex-soldiers whom the Civilian
Relief service is taking care of. A
large percentage Of these are Suf-
fering with tuberculosis and shell
shock.
Helps Get Compensation.
Great service has been rendered by
the Red Cross in mental cases in iden-
tifying those who have appeared in
state hospitals for the insane, and
helping them secure compensation due
from the Bureau of War RISK Insur-
ance.
In the federal boards various offices
in the central division, the Red Cross
worker, acting with the Home Service
section, makes necessary loans to the
men, arrangeS suitable living cOndi-
tons, helps collect evidence and sup
ply facts to the board, assists in zap
pealing cases" and settles various
personal difficulties for the men. The
workers also follow up and aid all
men who discontinue training.

Four of the one hundred and
thirty-three contestants in the
naming of the Fairmont Recrea-
tion company's amusement place
will divide the prize of $50. The
prize will have to be divided for
the reason that each of the four
guessed that "Slack's" would be
the most fitting name, and
"Slack's" it is. Mrs. G. Ps McCRr-
thy, Misses Beatrice Amos and
Kathleen Ford and L. M. Davis
were the lucky ones.

have noted with pleasure Of late
that the appearance of the thor
oughfare has been vastly improv-
ed. Where once tho unsightly
abandoned garage stood, the magic
touch OF the architect, painter and
decorator have produced a palatial
amusement hall that is said to be
the finest In the state. The place
has been fitted up at a cost OF near
ly a hundred thousand dollars.

out by his wife Thursday. Austin
has been in jail since Thursday
afternoon but was not In fit condi-
ton to be brought into court until

costs which he paid.
No other offenders were in court.
Yesterday was the last day OF
the service Of Chief Moran, who had
rendered his resignation some time
ago to take effect on October Id.
During the time he has served as
chief, he has made many friends,
all OF whom were sincerely sorry
to see him retire to private life.
Mr., Moran is now engaged IN the
wholesale tobacco business.
This morning Mayor Conway
expressed his intention Of appoint
ing Patrolman Arthur Arnett, act
ing day chief Of police, in case Ar
nett returns from his vacation to-
day, Assistant Chief Blaine Bog
CESS will act as night chief,
Another vacancy was announced
to take place on the police force
Yesterday when Patrolman John
Jack rendered his resignation to
Chief Moran, who in turn filed 1t
with Commissioner W. E. Arnett.
The meager salary allowed patrol
men was the reason given. This
morning, Mayor Conaway had not
yet received the resignation OF Pa
trolman Jack but was cognizant OF
the action taken.
It is understood that the resIgna-
tion of another patrolman will be
handed to the city board of affairs

Empties We're Scarce
Along the MOnongah
Division Today
COAL MARKET FLA!T
Other Late News About
the Division in Fair
mont Region

Car distribution on tho Monon'
Iahela railway has caused quite
little agitation for some time. but
after the conference this week IN
Washington, D. c., the PennsylVa'
mia and Pittsburgh & Lake Erie
lines desired to furnish commercial
cars to the Monongahela on the
same basis that 1t furnishes the
mines served by their respective
roads.
After the railroad strike last fall
both railroads started to make up
some of the shortage that accrued.
but the progress made with the
equalization was not satisfactory.
At this juncture the P. K. K. ana
p. & L. z. lines were accused OF
counting assigned cars against
their own mines but were counting
such cars delivered to the Monon-
gaheIa which counted them in turn
on a pro rata share against the
mines along the Morgantown ana
Wheeling railway. 1t was claimed
by the p. r. r. that the Mononga-
hela railway, which received It's
empties from the Monongahela diVi-
sion OF the P. r. r. was not en-
titled to receive more cars than the
same proportion on which the MO
nognahela division OF the z: II. Il.
received them. The result was
thai the figures of car distribution
OF the several roads did not agree.
1T has, been commended that the Mo
'npng6hela PATHWAY had de1Vereu,i
cars to the Morgantown G Wheel
ing railway on the basis OF physl-
cal capacity of the latter line rain
or than to receive cars on the as-
gregate rate of capacity OF the
mines on that line. Finally on ac'
count Of some OF the mines falling
behind IN their quota, the Monon-
gahela railway Increased the as
sessment of all mines to gu per
cent. Of their rate OF capacity.
George T. Bell, executive vice
president OF the Northern West Vir-
ginia Coal Operators Association,
today issued u circular letter 10
coal Generators in which the letter
Of r. q, Quick, assistant director
Of the bureau OF service or cars,
set forth the following five points:
"Agatn referring to your letter
OF September 2Sth and to the con-
ference held yesterday with re-
spect 10 the complaints OF the coal
operators against the Monongahe-
la, Morgantown and wheeling,
Pennsylvania railroad and the
pittsburgh and Lake Erie:
"The purpose of this letter is to
state concretely the understanding
reached as the result OF the con-
ference.
"G5 The Pennsylvania railroad
and the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie
agreed to see to 1t hereafter that
cars are furnished to the Monon-
gahelu for commercial loading IN
the samo proportion that cars are
