A STENOGRAPHER'S ROMANCE
BY Jane Phelps.

Mrs. Duggsn clean the apartment
occasionally for them.
IF Miss Carter could see me in
my own apartment with n woman
doing the work, wouldn't she have
fits!" Nellie exclaimed. "Geei I'll
bet 1t would be the end OF her And
the way she used to pile all the
work over onto me. l didn't know
enough to be sorry for myself then,
but now I'm terribly sorry for that
little scrub. Nellie Riley, that used
to work so hard, learning nothing,
and getting nothing but kicks and
hard words. Some day I'm going
hack to the Corners to stay over
night--stay at Miss Carter's when
l get lot of swell clothes. It's a
good thing I sent that old suit case
back or she'd have me pinched."
Don't envy, Miss Carter" Gladys
said, "Til bet she'd change places
with you now If she could. II must
be awful to run a boarding house
year after year, thinking all the
time about what to give people to
eat. 1t has always seemed to me
the hardest way in the world TO carr

A NEW CONSTITUTION.

Governor Robertson's proposal that a new
constitution be provided for tho state has met
tho approval of the reconstruction league. At
least the league, through its executive COM
mittee, has adopted resolution recommending
that Governor Walton submit proposal for a
constitutional convention to the new leglsa-
ture.
Just precisely what II Ia in the present con-
sutution that somebody wants to get rid of.
ana just who that somebody Is, we are unable to
say, However, since change is the order Of the
day. 1t might be a very good idea to convene
new constitutional convention and put the
tinkerers to work. We would at least ascertain
just what their intentions are.

History IS repeating Itself sharp division OF

slightest justification for resurrscting this
masked organization with It's disposition TO
subvert orderly government but assuming that
its organizers and those who permitted them
selves 20 be drawn into Il were acting with
great patriotic purpose and the pUrest motives,
sufficient time has elapsed TO demonstrate con-
elusyely that tho order has done and Is now

Nellie Works in MIR. Georges Room

CHAPTER LN.
The elder Mr.. Fallon had gone
away. He was beloved by the en-
tire staff of the office, and his i'll
health saddened them. But while
regreting his indisposition. as did
the other and older employees, Nell
lie felt a thrill of delight when Mr..
George said:
Miss Jones has suggested, Miss
Riley, that you take your desk into
my room while father is away. 1t
will save time"
And even though the suggestion
came from Miss Jones, Nellie's hap
piness was not dampened. She
would be in the same room; hear
him talk. see him. She did now
consciously own to herself that she
was beginning to care for Mr..
George in a way slightly different
from the feeling she had for his
father-that OF an employe for an
employer who was kind and thank
ful. she felt the delight without
analyzing 1t.
But in her talks with Cora she
showed the older girl more than
she knew, and IL worried Cora. 1t
meant keen distress perhaps for the
young girl she loved; the bright
happy creature who had frightened
her dun life. Cora tried tactfully to
talk Of his Mr.. Georges" marriage
some day to a girl In his own social
class. Often she spoke of the fool
ishness OF girls who allowed them
selves to care for their employers.
But Nellie never seemed to realize
she was meant, that she was In
danger.
She did her work happily and

Mr. George.

II does not seem as though much could be
accomplished in the two weeks preceding the
opening of the regular session. though It was
the presidents hope, when he decided to call
the extra session OF congress which began yes
terday that several important matters would
be disposed OF in tho fortnight-among them
the ship subsidy bill. But congress moves
slowly, and fortnight Is short time. So
there Is likely 10 be disappointment. 1t may
even turn out that the measure on which the
president has principally set his heart the ship
subsidy bill. viii he subordlnated 10 bonus bills
and bills proposing changes in the Nolstead net.
These We're the first TO be introduced
other matters seem certain 10 prove OF in
tevest 10 members such, for instance, as the
consolidation Of the radical groups in congress,
particularly I'm the senate. Whether the idea
of a new party is 10 be abandoned or not, the
plan for the present will be to exert control
through old parties. Probably not much can
be accomplished in this way till the new con-
gress meets, which may not he till December,
1928, but the program for future action Is all
ready being laid out, The men backing IL are
more interested in the program than they are
In either of the two parties. II is possible, too
that IN the light OF the recent election the radi-
Gals may he able to work 10 some extent with
and through the present congress.

than part OF the regular session which meets

effort TO get running start-Indl Annapolis
