Oh, has l dot booful eyes, dolling Pat
tywatty? Yes, l has / has dot
pretty eyes" His voice rose to an
unbearably piercing climax. "Oh, what
prettiest eyes l dot! Me and Herbie
Atwater Oh, my bOoful eyes Oh,
my bOoful-'
But even as he reached this apex,
the head, shoulders and arms Of Her
bert Atwater rose momentarily above
the fence across the alley, behind the
tOrmentor. Herbert's expression was
implacably resentful, and so was the
gesture with which he hurled an OBJ
iect at the comedian pre-occupied with
the opposite fence. This object upon
reaching its goal, as it did with more
a splash than a thud, was revealed as
a tomato, presumably in a useless
state. The taunter screamed in aston
ishment, and after looking vainly for
an assailant, began necessarily to re.
move his collar, as Noble went on his
way.
How blindly we walk our ways AS
Noble flourished down the street there
appeared a wan face at a prison win
dow and the large eyes looked out
upon him wistfully. But Noble went
on, as unwilling that he had to do
with this prison as he was that he
had to do with Master Torbins to-
matO.
The face at the window was not like
Nhu tsYO NJ hn sNgfn
dow barred. though the prisoner knew
'sOlace in wondering If she did not sug-
gest that famous picture. For all pur-
poses, except during school hours. the
room was certainly q cell and the
term of Imprisonment was set at three
days. Florence had finally been
obliged TO face questions awaiting
her and 1t would have been better
for her had she used less imagination
in answering them.
Yet she was not wholly depressed
as her eyes followed the disappearing
figure of Noble DIN from over the
fence If the yard whence she had
ventured for better view of Noble,
thereby rlsking heavier sentence.
Noble passed from her sight, but
nevertheless continued his radiant
progress down Julia's street. Life
stretched before him, serene, ineffably
fragrant. unending. He saw it as a
fiower-strewn sequence of calls on
Julia, walks with Julia, talks with
Julia by the library fire. Old, MIR.
Atwater was to be away four days
longer, and Julia. that great-hearted
brlde-not-tO-be had given him her
promise and sacred word.
Blushing, indeed divinely. SHE had
promised him. upon her sacred word,
never. so long as she lived, to he en-
gagged to anybody at all.

could see but one person; a boy Of
thirteen or fourteen who looked
through a crack in a board fence,
steadfastly keeping an eye to this aper-
ture, and as continuously calling
through it, holding his head to one
level for this purpose, but at the same
time dancing-and dancing tauntlngly,
1t was conveyed-with the other parts
OF his body. His voice was now sweet,
now piercing, and again far too
dulcet with the overkindness Of bur
lesque; and If, as it seemed, he
was unburdening his spleen, his spleen
was a powerful one, and gorged. He
appeared to be in a torment of tor
menting; and his success was proved
10y the pounding of bricks, and rocks
of size, upon the other side of the
fence.
"Oh, dolllng!" he walled, his tone

The anthracite miners convention
went sOlidly on record against contract
breaking, when, following lively de-
bate, it unanimously adopted a resolu.

The exposition of the unions posi-

declarations by Secretary Treasurer
William Green and Vice President
Philip Murray against any cessation
of work in the anthracite fields on
April and narrow escape from de-

the brewing Of beer were the features
of the conventions work. All other

Final rejection of the proposal Of
the Erie railroad that a general re-
ductiOn in wages be established was
made at the close of the three-day
conference between railroad officials
and union leaders at Cornell, N. Y.
Each class of workers was summon
ed to the conference and informed of
the intention to reduce wages to the
scale prevailing prior to July /, 1920,
and each in turn rejected the pro-
posal The cut would mean a loss Of
about 40 cents a day for men in the

Opposes UnempIoyment Insurance.

Samuel GOmpers, president OF the
American Federation of Labor, told
the delegates to the meeting of the
Civic federation at New York that he
was emphatically opposed to any form
Of unemployment insurance for the
United States. Any such system. he
declared, means recognition of unem-
ployment as a permanent condition,
and he expressed the belief that I'M
employment is cOntrOllable and that
there is a remedy for it. He said
''ln England unemployment insur-
ance has been a failure, because what
labor wants Is not insurance but en-
ployment. Another big objection to It
is the fact that such system would
subject working people to all sorts OF
rules and regulations and investiga-
tiOn and supervision"

According to Secretary Of Labor
Davis, one and one-haIf million more
jobs for adults would be thrown open
to relieve the unemployment situation
If child labor we're eliminated.
Both from this standpoint and from
the general standpoint Of giving chill
dren a chance in life, Davis appealed
to employers the country over to cease
the practice of working children in the
heartless nav of factories, mines,
quarries and farms. He added:
"A careful survey in which the chill
dren's bureau of the department added
points to the disturbing fact that de-
spite the number of unemployed adults
there are great numbers OF child la
bOrers. Everywhere and everyone
with whom we come into contact urges
the department to bring about some
change in the conditions. In view OF
this fact, | urge all employing children
to supplant them with adults, prefer
ably those having dependents, while
this present Industrial depression that
is causing the general unemployment
lasts.
Employers of children, you can
help and am sure you will"

Reports from various localities indi-

ployment has been less than was an

to mitigate the gen eral situation, but
