It was brief and to the point. but
contained no statements which might.
In case Edward ever did write, cause
any tangles. He had wanted to hin

being too drastic an interference with
anOther's affairs. The note as it STOOD.
he hoped, would cause Ellen Mary to
realize the fnality of tile episode.
Having written it, he sealed and al
dressed It, and sent it inclosed to his
brother in the city, to be'mailed from
there.
The following day John went on his
vacation, which lie had postponed .un
til the fall owing to an inability to
obtain q substitute before.
And it must be confessed that as
distance grew between him and Ellen
Mary his heart grew distinctly fonder.
even as his fears grew stronger that.
he had meddled unwarrantably and.
that she would, IL she learned of it,
treat. him with the scorn an interfering
silnpleton deserves.
Fortunately, however, he reflected.
as he started out on the first delivery
after his return, she did not know.
and he would be able to tell after
one look into her clear eyes if she
We're still grieving over the detection
of that worthless youth.
With alternate hope and fear he
made the turn in the road which would
bring him into her sight If she We're
watching, although he doubted very
much, now that her waiting was over,
If she would still run down at his
coming. Furniture catalogs and let
ters from Aunt Enlmie, while divert
ing in their way, were not worth such
great expectation.
Yes, there She was, by George! She
had letters in her hand, too-it- wasn't

Well, Tn on the job again." he
said cheerfnlly. "How many stamps
today?'
Then he noticed that the envelope
she held out had their stamps can
celed. He took them wonderingly
from her hand. AS he saw that one
was the one he had written, his heart
sank. He looked at the other.
Read It," she said briefly.
He opened it slowly and obeyed.
Dear Ellen Mary:
l look back with pleasure on the
summer. Hope your aunt is well and
you also.
Yours truly,
Edward Smith,
There was no address.
He was agshade more decent than

ment as he folded the letter.
They both came last week. said
Ellen Mary in explanation, ''and at
first thought it odd. Then I noticed
how different the writing was and
knew one was the writing I hae
seen when you made out money or
ders." She lifted reproachful eyes.
''Why did you Go it, John? she asked.
John was not born to be an orator,
but at that moment there came to him
one of those feEeitous phrases that
can swing the course of nations.
For love of Ellen Mary" he said
gently, and was nearly overcome at
the light that leaped in her eyes.

ants in Aeolian Hall


Mrs. Leila M. Tinsley, who became
the Hammer of the Lord" for the chas-
tisement Of landlords when $167 a
month WAS demanded for her $10O suite
on the fifteenth floor Of Aeolian Hall,
announced yesterday that she had re-
ceived dispossess notice requiring
her to appear May 10 in the Municipal
Court at Madison Avenue and Fifty
ninth Street.
She expects to do lot Of writing be-
fore that time and to get in some good
blows for the cause Of Office building
tenants. The agents of Aeolian Hall
said they we're compelled to take the
steps they did because of the influence
Mrs. Tinsley's example had on other
tenants, who also were refusing to pay
the increased rent. Mrs. Tinsley hopes
that the same pair of dear, kind men
who served the dispossess notice will
take her to court and hear the procla-
nation she intends to read.
1.-THE notice was served By two fine
looking marshals," she said, "and when
I went forward to greet them as well
come, though belated, guests each
looked as if he were sorry he had been
selected for the job. With becoming
cordiality, however, I invited them into
my private Office and it required only a
few words for them to understand the
situation.
Instantly they became my stalwart
friends. When they left one of them
said to me, Now, Mrs. Tinsley. if we
have to come in and pick you up and
put you out we are going to put on
white silk gloves to do the job!'"

moving spirit behind several gigantic
plumbing supply organizations Of ma
ticnal scope which Samuel Untcrmyer,
the committees counsel, asserted had a
atrangle hold on the building industry
OF the entire nation.

total annual business OF these combi-
nations was S30O, ,O00, 900.
Mr.. Untermyer digressed for q mo-
ment In the course of yesterdays hear
ing to urge Jail sentences for the mem
bers of the Association of Dealers in
Masons' Building Materials and the
brick manufacturers who have pleaded
antitrust laws. Among the individuals
involved we're John A. Mccarthy, inti-
mate friend and former business part
ner Of Charles F. Murphy, Tammany
boss. and Wright D. Goss, the so-called
ssbrick king"
1.-THE entire benefit of this investiga-
tion is not to be gained" said Mr..
Untermyer to the Lockwood commit
tee on housing, unless substantial jail
sentences are imposed upon men who
have been in combinations of this
character, such as the brick manu-
facturers and the dealers in building
materials, who have been the most de-
fiant and the most baneful of all these
organizations"
The committee will go into executive
session this morning and will then
make known its stand in connection
with the matter.
F. H. La Guardia, President Of the
Board of Aldermen: threw some ad-
scandal. He had requested that he
be heard and was armed with bundle
of correspondence bearing on the
