The Daily Short Story

vived Amanda Smiths tale Of
troublous times and departed minus
umbrella and worry, than Almeda
spied the cause of his shame and
grabbing it in a determined hand
rushed to the front door.
| "Uriah!" she shrieked, "Uriat
Hanley! Here's your umbrella
Pas back was non-committal, and
he feigned temporary deafness
Again came the shrill cry: "Uriah
| U-r-i-ah Hanley! You left your
umbrell-a!"
With a resigned sigh pa turned
and went back! Almeda was srail-
! ing from ear to ear. Land. But
Mis- Hanley 'ud be mad if you lost
that umbrella she said. Its
dretful han'some an you can't buy
| silk like that is nowadays"
Thanks" said pa. Yes, yes"
and went on. Could he never dis
pose of that awful green umbrella
Would he always have to carry it!
Aha! Just then he spied a barrel
setting near Joe Shows barn, and
promptly acting upon impulse he
thrust the umbrella in and well out
of sight. Then care free and light
hearted, he set out at much
brisker pace for town. If his con-
science troubled him at all nobody
knew it and all the loafers at the
Grocery and Provisions Store" de-
clared, with cracker barrels for
firm foundation, that "Old man
Hanley was a-gittis younger every
year"
On the homeward journey, laden
down with his recent purchases and
lost in thoughts of cedar shingles
and staging, pa had little time to
notice the darkening skies and lead
en- clouds. Only when a fair-siZed
hailstone bounced of his nose did
he realize the state Of the weather.
He began to hurry as fast as his
tired old feet would take him to-
ward Joe Shows barrel and the
-despised umbrella. Horror of hor-
rors! The barrel was gone And
there upon the ground lay the rem
nants of a violent green umbrella,
the yellowish ivory handle showing
the unmistakable marks of a pup
py's teeth, the ribs pointing hither
and thither and tatters of green silk
flying toward the four winds of
heaven.
Abstractedly pa raised the wreck
over his head and walked the mile
and a half more home. And even
though he tried his sainted best to
feel conscience stricken, he couldn't
find it in his heart to be sorry.
And there was an unmistakable,
if slight twinkle in his eye as he en-
tered his wife's kitchen-the corpse
of the pride of her soul still raised
above his head and dripping streams
of water through its countless
rents. We'll, ma, me and the UNI
brella be home"
Ma Hanley looked at him a mo-
ment and then sank weakly into
chair. MY land!" quoth she-and
that was all
Sam told me that on his next trip
to town pa bought two rather
strange articles that were COM
mented on by the grocery store
loafers. One was very quiet
black umbrella with a plain handle
and the other was a collar for little

The Interrogation Of Barbara
Tough, the Scotch seamstress who
lives in the Hall home, was a much
simpler affair than was considered
likely last Saturday, when she said that
she would go to Jail before she would
tell anything to the grand jury. She
responded readily to questions to-day,
but seemingly gave the officials no new
leads.
Mr. Mason, it was learned afterward,
asked Barbara how many flashlights
there were in the Hall home. This
probably had some bearing on the
statement Of Mrs. Gibson that the man
and woman she saw on the Phillips
farm were lighting their course along
Lovers Lane, which is really the
weed-grown driveway to the Phillips
farmhouse, with an electric torch. In

Louise Geist, the Hall maid, was

said the things attributed to her and
denied also that there was any basis
for criticism Of DR.. Halls bearing
toward her. She is to be questioned

the law Is to be equitably enforced, 1t
requires most careful and judicious
inquiry by the board into living con-
dltlons-the cost of rent, clothes,
food and recreation. If the power,
therefore, exists to fix wages in the in
terest of good morals and the promo
tion Of the general welfare, the power
must likewise be conceded to fix the
prices of all commodities entering into
the determination of an equitable
wage. In no other way can justice
be accorded. The wage fixed for an
employer to pay his employee cannot
be justified, if based upon the un-
restrained prices which the employee
may have to pay the merchant for food
and clothes, or the landlord for rent.
The logical result of such a course
relegates the whole matter of prices
to the realm OF legislation"
Justice Van Orsdel said: "High
wages do not guarantee good morals -
wages have been higher since the
war than ever before and there is
more crime" he added.

Dier Books to Stay Here

The books of E. D. Dier g. Co. must
remain in New York, according to an
order signed yesterday by Judge Julian
w. Mack in Federal District Court di-
recting Manfred w. Enrich, trustee for
the concern, not to comply with SUBJ
pGna issued from the United States
District Court in Illinois. This sub
p1na orders the receiver to appear be-
fore the grand jury tomorrow in Chi
cago with all Of the records Of the
bankrupt firm.
Saul s. Myers, attorney for the trus-
tees, asked Judge Mack to rule on the
matter. He held that in order that the
creditors may have the benefit of q
proposed composition, whereby they are
to receive $50o,ooo the trustee and his
accounts must have uninterrupted
use Of the books.
E. D. DER & Co. failed last January
for nearly $6,000,000.
