The first protest. he said, came
from Pennsylvania railroad workers.
followed by appeals from workers on

Roberts said the New York coun-

await action by International officers.
He explained these order had been
FASTENED out to forcsiall sporadic

district council would be held as soon

There is only one hope for these

me angry blood rushed to his face. Us
rated to feel that perhaps he had dis
appointed her.
He left Mrs. Herict in the lounge and
went straight up to his wife's room.
ohe was not there, but q book which
lie knew she had been reading was lying
open on her dressing table and a little
pair OF white shoes stood neatly together
on the rug.
Chris rubbed the back Of his head
with a curiously boyish lock Of embar-
iassment. 1t seemed odd to think that
he and little Marie Celeste were really
husband and wife! He cast furtive
look mt himself in her mirror. He did
not LOOK much like married man, he
thought, and laughed as he took up the
book which Marie had been reading. It
was a book of poems, and Chris made
little grimace. He had never read n
poem in his life, but his eyes fell now
on some OF the lines which had been
1aintly underscored with a pencil
What shall I be at fifty,
=, Should nature keep me alive
IL find the world so bitter
When am but twenty -nye1'
Fle read the words through twice with
a vague sense Of discomfort.
Had Marie underlined them-nnd ;f
so, why? They did not convey n tre-
mendous deal to Chris, though he had
a family uncomfortable feeling that
they might to a woman.
Marie was not twenty-five either,
she was only nineteen And anyway
It was absurd to imagine that she wes
finding the world bitter when she had
Just written home to Aunt Madge that
she was quite happy.
He had the book still in his hand
when the door opened and Marie came
in. She caught her breath when she
saw her husband.
You, Christ"
Eyes, thought you were in" He
turned round, holding out the book.
Are you reading this2'
Yes She tried to take it from
him, but he avoided her. "Did you
underline that verse?"
but she laughed, as she bent over the
book and read the words he indicated
''Did I? OF course not. It's a
pretty poem. It's Tennyson's Maud,
you know" Chris knew nothing about
Tennyson's Maud" but he was re-
lieved to hear the natural way in which
his wife spoke. He shut the book and
threw 1t down carelessly.
Il came to say that I'm sorry about
last night-about forgetting to take you
out, l mean. clean forgot all about
it. Wen 20 tonight, shall we?' There
was the smallest hesitation before she
answered. She was taking off her hat
at the wardrobe so he could not see
her face.
"Mr. bakers has two tickets for a
concert" she said at last. II almost
promised him would Co." She waited.
If you don't mind" she added.
'Of course, I don't mind. Go by all
means. dare say you'll enjoy it. 1
shall be all right can have a game
at billiards with some one. l suppose
it's time to dress?''
Yes, think so.'
See you downstairs, then?"
Chris went Off whistling. He was
quite happy again. Somebody else had
marked that verse. He ought to have
known Marie Celeste would not bo so
foolish-and they were stupid lines any-
way. He could not imagine why any
body ever wanted to read poetry.
