 After his childish petulance, on tho climbing expedition, he had apolo- gized to Giyn as we'll as to Camille. And. in a subsequent conversation with the man from Africa, he had delieately hinted that there was an understanding between himself and Miss Camille that might not be mo- ticeable to the casual visitor, but had existed for some time.
 This subtle hint-which. by the way, had also been gratuitously given him by two women of the shooting party who were jealous of Camille and anxious to queer her pitch-might not have worked harm, in itself, were 1t not for the fact that

Camille was proud, and Elliot Glyn had hurt her by his words.
 Not that the latter had the least desire to inflict pain upon her. He had suffered considerably himself, of late. but it never had occurred to him that Camille might be unhappy.
 The suffering was on his side, and his alone, he thought.
 She had played with him. She had never truly cared for him. But then 1t was absurd to imagine that a young, pretty, popular girl could find her ideal (and of course all girls possessed ideals) in a man of his type who. after all, was a homeless wan derer on the face of the earth, and, from the financial point of view, had made no definite mark in life.

for Civil Service Laws.

Failure of the Republican Ad-
ministration to give some plausible
as to the wholesale ex-
pulsion of the entire executive staff
of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing was today compared TO
the parable of the hunter and the
bear by union officials who have
investigated the matter.
Fear For $1,000 Jobs.
Union officials are concerned in
the matter because of the fact, ii is
pointed out, that IL II is possible for
the President to summarily dismiss
Civil Service employees. without
charges being preferred against
them. none Of the jobs OF the $1,000
Governmental employees an the De-

LITTLE NAVY" TANCLE
IN PRESIDENTS HANDS

The row between little and big
navy advocates was thrown back
to the White House today for Presi-
dent Harding to mediate.
Having listened to the arguments
of the members of the House Appro-
priations Committee, who insist they
will appropriate money for the pay
of no more than $1,000 men, Presi-
dent Harding today heard the other
side of the story from Secretary of
the Navy DENLY and Assistant Sec
retary Roosevelt. who want a navy
of sc, 900 men established.
DENLY and Roosevelt had long
conference with President Harding.
When they left the White House
they said: The matter is in Presi-
dent Harding's hands"
The belief prevails that in the end
President Harding will bring the
opposing factions together on q
basis of about $4,000 men.
