i John, I don't want to go to Atlantic City without you.
 I'm not sniveling. I'm crying be- cause my only child for whom I have sacrificed so much has treated me with such great disrespeCt.
 "Oh, I beg your pardon, l didn't know you wanted me to say good by. That you had long distance call in. Most sons would think that might wait until their mother had finished talking. All right, I'm used to being set aside for anything by you.
 NO. I will not call you up again. If you want to speak with me, you wifi find me here waiting for you. shall tell Miss Anderson to go down to the station and send inc trunks back.
 "All right, I'll leave them there for a little while if you think best,
 'I suppose you understand that you have made me a great deal Of i trouble and set my nerves on edge and set my heart humping, No one seems to realize, not even you, that the slightest excitement is very bad for my heart,
 Gall me up whcn you have made your plans. l shall probably not be able to leave my apartment today even if you wish 10 go to Atlantic City later. Goodby, my son, I'll try and not he too unhappy over your habitual neglect"

What Madge Hears When She Finds
 Lee Chow.

As I droyo out of the yard, on my way 10 the laundry, where l hoped 10 find Lee Chow, l told my self. grimlN that the present con- tents Of my brain resemblcd hash ed brown potatoes more than any thing else of which I could think. Iillians assertion that the Chinese servant of Hugh Grantland, whom she had known, was not named "Lee Chow" but "Ah Moy," had hewidered me sufficiently but when she, with apparent inadvert- ence, had dropped the intimation that she had some knowledge of Hugh Grantland's disappearance, which I did not possess, felt that was at sea indeed.
 Curiously enough. it was not the doubt of Lee Chow's identity, with all Its sinister significance. which most occupied my thoughts The question which beat insistently against my brain held a more per sonal note. What was the reason for Lillians silence concerning Hugh GrantDanl's bitter hour,' Of which she had just spoken.
 With a flush, l remembered that once or twice in that hectic time when Hugh Grantand and l were associated in war work, Lillian had eel 7.l lItr one or two occasions botrayng her fear that 1 was becoming too much interested in the army officer for my own peace of mind. knew that long ago I had proved to her that her anxiety had no foundation, but was it possible? With an inn patient shrug Of my shoulders, threw the whole annoying subject from me, and found relief for my tangled nerves in the motorists first aid for Impotence, stepping on the gas.
 Lee Chow's Faith Doubted
 By the time I reached the village I had banished everything from my mind, save my doubt of Lee Chow's faith. That was enough, however, in itself, to send the thermometer of my courage toward zero as I parked the car in front of the laun- dry.
 I faced indeed an impulse to get away from the place as fast as l could manage, an impulse which I conquered only with the opening of the door upon whose knob I had laid my hand. For the interior of the laundry a familiar scene to me, was innocuous in appearance. Only the heavy dark curtain which sep srated the shop from the living

Prescott
 q can not understand, John, why I have not heard from you this morning. At what time are you coming to take me to the train?
 You are not going 10 take the morning train? You are not sure We will go today? What do you mean? Here, I am all packed up, my bonnet on and my outside wrap on a chair. I have already had Miss Anderson send my trunk to the sta- ton.
 Why should I wait for you to do that?
 "I thought l would relieve you Of as much worry as possible. l must say, Jack, that you are very inconsiderate of me. You should have thought of me the first thing when you thought it might he inn possible to take me 10 Atlantic City today. What is that matter? Is 1t business?
 "I must say, Jack, that I think you are paying altogether too much attention to your business. There is no reason why you could not have put off whatever Is keeping you here and taken me to Atlantic City today. Your mother and your wife are entitled 10 some of your time Have you told Leslie that you arc not coming today?
 "Oh, that is the reason, is 1t: Leslie has been called unexpectedly 10 Albany. Don't try 10 excuse her 10 me. She probably left Atlantic City because she knew you were taking me over. I must say Leslie is more tnconsidcrate of me than even you are. What could have been more important to her fhar a visit of her husband and her bus bands mother? She certainly should have waited for Us. She knew was anxious 10 go there.

Because he felt that he could do

that of making the world a better
place in which to live, to a greater
number, Harold Bell Wright resigned
as preacher over a decade ago and
became an author. How he has sue
ceeded in his ambition is best at
tested by recent statement officially
released by his original publishers,
ID. Appleton and Co. That state
ment shows that over 56,000,0 900

tons east of Brunswick, and the es-
tablishment of increased rates or ar
bitraries between Brunswick and its
stations east on traffic moving to or
received from the states west of the
Hudson river, it would appear that
Maine shippers are concerned not
only in the payment Of higher
freight rates, but in the question as
to whether they can maintain trade
relations.
Frank j. McArdle, chief Of the rate
department of the public utilities
commission, said Monday that since
this rate investigation is far reach
ing, affecting both the carriers and
the shippers, every effort should be
made by Maine shippers to present
their situation to the interstate COM
merce commission.
Mr.. McArdle further stated that II
it is thought that hearing in Bos-
ton will afford Maine more oppor-
tunity, in that its representation will
be better served than by hearing at
Washington, Maine shippers ana
commercial organizations should SO
address themselves as soon as pos
sible to the interstate commerce
commission at Washington.
