Washington, Sept. Pew mem
bers OF tho Administration knew OF the
governments intention TO take legal
action against the railroad strikers
The subject was not even discussed
at yesterdays meeting OF tho Cabinet
Preparation OF the case at the Depart
ment OF Justice was closely guarded
and Attorney General Daugherty left
Washington yesterday noon ostcnslbly
to go TO Columbus, Ohio, for a visit
with his mothers family.
The remainder Of official Washing
ton. including even President Hard
ine's legislative advisers, were taken
by surprise when tho news OF the Chi
cago Courts action reached here,
What apparently caused the greatest
surprise WAS that the government |,
action was taken on the same day that
optimistic reports had como from both
Administration and railroad sourccs
that the railroad situation was flribrov-
ing and than more men were return-
ing TO work in tho railroad shops.

a minister far back In the hills. Eve
lyn had explained that for some time
to come no one but the three must
know Of the marriage.
Pollyop had learned a great many
things In two yearsl What girl does
not after she's passed her fifteenth
birthday One Of the things she had
found out was that Oscar was a dread
full person, more dreadful than most
Of the sQuatter men. OF course the
men folks Of her people did beat their
women, now and then. That was their
right without any question. The blood
colored even her ears as she rennen1-
bered how Oscar hectored his wife for
the money It was 30 hard for Evelyn
to get. Another thing she had come
to understand was that, II Oscar had
not been afraid of the powerful Rob
ertson family, he would have forced
Evelyn into his home long before this.
1t had been a hard two years task to
keep him quiet.
"Mebbe you are gettin' sick, Oscar"
she interposed. g" don't know
mebbe; but you know what that old
Miss Robertson would do to you an
her girl If you told. You'd get Eve,
mebbe, but you sure wouldn't get any
more money"
The mans face darkened.
'That's just the rub" he conceded,
but at that Eve amt playing square
with me. The RObertsons have money
to burn, and she deals 1t out to me in
small little dollars. I tell you I'm sick
of the whole thing"
Polly noted the glitter in Benefits
angry eyes and felt again the culver
of fear.
"She gives you oil she gets her fin
gers on" she came back at him in de-
Tense of the absent Evelyn. Lots Of
times she's got along on about nothin'
to send you cash, an didn't / come
! runnin' UP here with 1t as soon as she
give 1t to me? Now her mas gettin'
on that Eve amt spendin' her money
on herself, an she watches 'er like a
hawk does a chicken. She told me
that only yesterday"
The squatter girl rose to her feet,
anxious to be gone. -
oscar, you might be lettin' me
have Just a wee bit Of milk. You
amt losin' nothin' through me-"
She picked up the pail, and with q
growl the man snatched 1t out Of her
hand.
"Women're a id nuisance" he
grumbled. "Well, wait here"
he went out Of the room, and Polly
Hopkins drew a long breath. It wal
getting harder every day to get the
milk she needed.
When Bennett returned, she wal
standing with her hand on the dool
knob. ready to go. In silence she tool
the pail he offered her.
"Tooka here, Pollyop," he began alb
ruptlY. as Polly opened the door
