RAIL PEACE
MOVE PUSHED
Some of Country's Biggest
Systems Refuse to Enter
Into Agreement

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Refusal by
o number of the country's biggest
railroad systems to enter into the
Warfield- Willard-Jewell plan for
ending the shipments strike, on the
basis of separate and individual
agreements, developed an element OF
considerable uncertainty today over
the scope and effectiveness Of the
peace program.
While some Of the larger systems
have fatty rejected the plan, others,
however, notably the Chicago &
Northwestern and the Chicago &
Milwaukee and st. Paul, had vir-
tually concluded arrangements for
restoring strikers to their former
jobs under terms of the settlement
plan.
Negotiations were in progress with
several roads. in an effort by officials
to effect additional settlements.
JERSEY CITY, Sept. 15.-With
reference to the reported strike
statement made at Chicago by the
railroad employees department of the
American Federation of Labor and
certain railroad companies. E. e,
Loomis, president of the Lehigh VAL
ley Railroad Company states:
1.-THE Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company is not a party to any
agreements which may have been
made at Chicago. The pledges we
have made to ur employees who con-
tinued working after strike was call
ed, as well as to the new men who
have entered our service since that
time, to say nothing OF our promises
to our supervising officers. makes II
out of the question for us to accept
any such plan as is proposed.
"Lehigh Valley employees are now
forming an association of their own,
started on their initiative. and we
have promised to Cooperate with
them in every way. I do not see
how a railroad IA expect to retain
or build up a loyal organization on
any other basis"

The story thus far:

Camille Westbrook has journeyed 1 to South Africa with her little butter fly friend, Dolly Mortimer, who has
 made the trip from London to join
 her husband at Johannesburg. Elliot l Glyn is in love with Camille. She has in her possession a valuable
 ring which she has accepted as security for a loan to Reggie Van Tuyl, who is always in financial diff culties. On shipboard at a fancy dress dance the ring was snatched from her by mysterious masked
 man, but was later found. Camille is warned by an Indian snake
 charmer against keeping the ring. She and Elliot go for moonlight
 rickashaw ride, and are held up by two men. Glyn. with Camille's help,
 overpowers them. They tell him
 they had heard of the ring from it's owner. They said he called himself
 Sullivan and said he was going to
 marry Camille. They go back to the
 hotel. Next morning Camille and Dolly start on a shopping trip. Camille and Glyn are invited to a
 dinner party by Lady Kilmorny. Lady Kilmorny was force in the
 social life of Durban, and she had taken a fancy to Camille.
 When the latter arrived by taxi at the big white villa on the hill, she found it gay with lights and laughter
 and a babble of talk that was like the murmur of tingling stream.
 My dear, so glad you came>" Ca
 mille found herself drawn into the 1 charmed circle, and presented person. l ally to everybody. MT Glyn you have met before" added the hostess at conclusion of the little ceremony. Camille found that Glyn was her dinner partner, though formalities were dispensed with, in this hos l pitable home.
 | Where have you hidden yourself, 1 all day." he began, when they were
 seated at the table, and hum of talk rose, like a screen. During the | thunder storm l looked for you in the hotel but you had not returned from
 your motor run, the hotel clerk told me-"
 l Camille related her adventures. | She was looking very sweet tonight, | in a gold tissue frock with floating | side panels of a vivid rose.
 T was half afraid you wouldn't come tonight" said he. His fine eyes rested pleasurably upon her. How l dear and how desirable she had be- comel Mrs. Mortimer is so cratic

and makes such demands Upon your time. You're too long suffering"
 "Oh, she got over the terror at the thunder storm." reJoined Camille lightly, "She has a theatre party to- night. and left her in a very cheer full frame of mind. Dolly has some very nice points, really"
 Glyn liked her all the better for her loyalty to the absent one.
 "Prlckly points," suggested he, with twinkle.
 But Camille wasn't to be drawn.
 The dinner was an excellent one. They were waited on by tall and bearded Hindus of immobile feature, clad in white, with scarlet sashes. Bare footed, they moved silently and swiftly with the dishes.
 Picturesque chap, isn't he?' mur- mured Glyn, as slim brow hand laid plate of trout before her. "Dyou notice his gold earrings and the perfect modelling of his nose? High caste, and proud as Lucifer. Make wonderful servants, but most dangerous enemies. A friend of mine dismissed one them through a false accusation, and three days later, the paragon came back and tried to burn his house down, in re- venge."
 Why do Panthans work in Africa?" asked Camille. Aren't the Kaffir boys good enough servants?''
 Glyn smiled.
 They're all right in the kitchen, if someone keeps a stern eye on them all the time. But they don't give such perfect table service as the In- dians, and they aren't half so dec- orative."
 Coffee and liquors and cigarettes were served in the wide veranda that ran around three sides of the house. The house was white, and built in the Italian style, with romantic gardens all about it, and a tiny miniature lake or pool, from which came the queer singing of the bull frogs mingled with the hum of crickets.
 "A velvety night. isn't it? The rain has brought out all the scents, too.' Glyn remarked. seating himself beside Camille on the Joy parapet of the veranda, with his back against pillar Well, what do you think of it all?' You haven't told me yet, you know" He lit a cigarette, and she could see the whimsical half smile playing about lis well-cut mouth.
 tiiiih IL al pCIlCGlly DcauIl- full" came the sincere reply. Pm in love with Africa already"
 Yes, the land does cast a sort of spell on people. Wait till you get out on the veldt and among the kop- jes, and youll find a lure still stronger.
 T wonder-if 1t wouldn't be rather lonely?' Camille spoke in a slow, tentative tone
 .Ionely?" The light of the match still flickered, and she could see his startled air. Would you find a place lonely, if you were with someone for whom you cared and who cared great deal for you? I-I hadn't thought of that"
 thrill shot through his listener. What was coming next?
 Monday; All the Match Light.
