May looked deep into his eyes,
and held out her hand. EYES," she
said softly GOOD night"
Upstairs in her room, she stood
before her mirror, searching her
face in the glass. The eyes were
brilliant and there was vivid, unac-
customed color in her cheeks. Her
lips smiled.
May addressed the radiant image
in the glass, aloud.
cold girl" she said, "Upon my
soul, | believe we've fallen in love
with this Waterbury man.
1t was the first time she had ever
admitted such a thing to herself, in
all the twenty-seven years of her
life.
She lay down, and was asleep al
most the second her head touched
the pillow.
Like nine women out of ten, the
first thing May Seymour did upon
awakening each morning, was to
look at herself in the glass.
This morning as she leaned across
the Uttered top of her dressing-table
frowned. All the glow and color
that had been in her face the night
before were gone. There were
violet shadows beneath her eyes.
May tried to rub them out with
cold cream. Neither the cold cream
nor a cold shower that made her
tingle all over, erased them.
"Stayed up too later" she scolded
herself. What I need is a face mas
sage. That'll fixe me up"
A half hour later she lay in long
chair in the little beauty salon of
the hotel
While she waited for the operator
to bring hot water and jar of
cleansing cream, May idly watched
the woman in the curtained alcove
next to hers.
There was something familiar
where have l seen her before?"
May asked herself.
Suddenly she remembered. The
woman was the "hostess" from Ad-
oree's supper club the woman
whom Dan Sprague had called
"Francie."
She had evidently just had her
hair washed, and it hung in dark,
dank strings around her neck and
shoulders. And her eyes looked
small and sleepy above wrinkled
pockets of flesh.
She caught Mays frank gaze in
the mirror before her, and flashed
her a smile that illumined her whole

"She has a certain queer charm,
at that" May thought an hour later
as she walked down the Boardwalk,
hunting for a place to breakfast.
Hello, there!" called a gay voice
behind her. May turned, and waited
Tor Carlotta Frolking to catch up
with her.

A little waitress in pink linen

coffee. When she was gone May
leaned across the table.

she repeated. "Why, Mr.. Waterbury,
l wouldn't think of doing such
thing! After all you're an utter
stranger to me- And for all | know
you may be the biggest crook in

In her role of the Wistful Widow,
May bent her head and nodded. "Of

or two. 81 don't know just W hat

nally, "8ut / know I've done moth

May looked up at him and smiled.
At that moment the girdle of lights
along the Boardwalk went out, leag-
ing it in gray darkness. Beyond
the dim band of the sand, the break
ers'rolled in edged with white foam.
"Oh, isn't it beautiful" May
cried. She ran over to the railing
and leaned forward, with her arms
stretched wide "And I love the
wind, don't you? It makes me feel
as if I had wings"
She closed her eyes, and raised
her face to the cold fresh rush of it
as it came in, smelling of the sea.
Then suddenly, she felt Water
bury's arms around her. They drew
her against him, and his mouth
came down upon hers in a short
harsh contact.
Then, as suddenly, he let her go.
May stepped back, breathless.
ooh. you :" she began. And was
in his arms again.
He kissed her again and again
Not roughly, this time, but as
if he would never have done. And
this time May did not resist him, but
lay in his arms, with curious sense
of contentment in her heart.
In all of her life she had never
been Kissed this way before

tenderly, almost comfortingly.

started back toward the hotel. In

lotta exclaimed, "All that! Aren't

"To breakfast" May answered.
ooh, look here Do you suppose
these are real diamonds?'
They paused before the window
of smart little shop that faced the
sea. Within was a collection of di.
amond rings sparkling on bed Of
white velvet.
"Of course they're real They
don't sell limitations at La Callers,

"Do you see that black pearl there

May gasped as she follower Car

the precise size and color of the imi-
tation ones she was wearing around
her neck at that very moment. 1t
would add the last touch of eXpen-

to Carlotta.

her with envy in her round blue
eyes. CPL tell the street it's love

She sighed. "Well," she said, "Pd
like to go to have breakfast with
you, but I've date with the beau
ty specialist, myself. Oh, dearie, II
only I had your youth"
There was a sort of comical trag-
edy in her face as she spoke. And
under the brilliant sun, May saw
that her skin was puckered into
| fine lines.
What dreadful thing it must be
, to be middle-aged and footloose like
Carlotta! To be in love with a man
of the Dan Sprague type who flirt-
ed with check-room girls, dance-club

Portable life was the married wom-
ans existence. Even if she hadn't
much of anything else. she still had

She left Carlotta and walked
along, hunting for little restaurant
called the Blue Rose. She had
noticed it's cleanliness and its fresh
white curtains the night before
when she had passed it with Water
bury.
There was no one in it but wo-
man who sat drinking orange juice
at a table by the window, when May
entered. This woman looked up
and May saw that it was France

KEEP OUT OF ABANDONED MINES

Warning against entering any place
where the air does not circulate unless
one is first assured that 1t contains
enough oxygen to support life, is given
by DR.. Thomas T. Read, safety SER
vice director of the bureau of mines,
in commenting on the recent death
of three persons who entered a well
near lockwood, Maryland, to make
repairs to the piping. Wells, aban-
doned mines, and other confined
spaces where the air does not circu-
late may be filed with black damp,
and the incautious person who ven
lures into them may be asphyxiated.
Black damp is a miners term for air
that has become depleted of it's oxy-
gen and consists mainly of nitrogen
and carbon dioxide. 1t is not poison
Gus, but, being heavier than ordinary
air, it lies in confined space like so
much water, and person who goes
into it is as effectually cut off from
the life-supporting oxygen as if he
had gone under water. Unless i'm
mediately rescued he will die as quick
ly as he would by drowning.

CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE AND IN

The aviator who wants to navigate
the ocean should be trained in the
art of volplaning. When he has gas,
he should gradually mount to an ele-
vation where air resistance is lighter
and then shut off the gas and coast"
like an auto going down hill, by vol
planning or making a gliding descent
nearer to earth or sea as the case
may be. The saving in gas by air.
planes thru this method ought to be
a geat economic feature in going
over long ocean distances. Then,
too, seaplane aviators should take a
few lessons in keeping their machines
up into the wind, like sailing craft,
when alighting on the ocean without
gasoline, or power, in order to hold
the course necessary to ride stormy
and choppy seas. To ride under pow
or on the placid, smooth waters Of
a river or bay in seaplane with a
horizontal wing spread Of so Or 100
feet might not be difficult, but it would
be practically impossible to navigate
an airplane over tossing waves with
out power except by dropping off or
folding back the winrs, SD as to head
up into the wind like a yacht or sail
ing craft The efficiency of an emer-
gency mast and bowsprit to every
seaplane or airplane ought to be con-
Sidered by all aviation corps in their
training quarters.
Americas giant dirigible, Shenan-
dOah, which broke in two last week,
is an object lesson showing entire
ignorance of ability to keep the craft
fore and aft with wind which must
have had a twisting tendency char
acteristic of cyclones or monsoons'
Fore and aft dorsals or metallic fins
in imitation of those on the back of
a fish, that could be raised automat-
ically during a gale, would steady a
mammoth dirigible craft so she could
be brought up into the wind bow first,
to ride out windstorm.
Late statements by Col. Mitchell,
deposed assistant chief of the U. S..
Air Service, have called attention to
a startling condition in our air SER
vice which he characterizes as incom-
petent and criminal negligence on
part of the navy department to keep
down aviation in favor of aeronautics.
His bitter arraignment charges both
the army and navy departments with
opposing development of aviation.
''All aviation policies are directed by
Notifying officers who individually
know nothing about flying, and are
using the lives of airmen as mere
pawns in their hands" says Mitchell.
Those recent disasters to the diri-
gible Shenandoah and seaplane P-N-9
No. l are enough to stimulate huge
sized investigation into the charges
of Col. Mitchell against the war de-
partment which certainly give cre-
dence to criminal negligence, which
may be inspired, as he says, by in
competent army and navy heads that
are debating and dominating the air
service men.

NEW RELATION OF LABOR AND
CAPITAL IN COOPERATION

VIM. Green, president of the Amer
can Federation of Labor "said a
mouthful' in his New York address
last Sunday. Sound Judgment, com
mon sense and the interest of all the
people call for cooperation in spirit
Of understanding and good will, on
the part of ell elements making ur
the industrial life of the nation.
Safety of the nation lies in recogni-
ton of organized labor thruout the
land. Organized wealth and COM
bined capital has failed to destroy
organized labor. When labor con-
serves its own capitaI as is manifest
during the past five years for its
own banks, capital must take notice,
because all capital is directly and in
directly profit from labor. Fight
ing and harassing labor is capital
fighting capital, producing seeds of
revolution. Employing interests are
doing some deep thinking these days.
They are getting down to the usage
Of railroads who take interest enough
to advertise and populate the terri
tory served by them Capital is
awakening to the profits of cooper
alton by encouragement Of labor ra-
ther than antagOnizing it.
Sound judgment, common sense and
the interests Of all the people through
the land call for the manifestation
and exercise, on the part of all the
elements which form industrial life,
for a spirit Of cooperation, under
standing and good will. 1t is to the
achievement of this purpose that or
ganiZed labor is irrevocably COM
mitted. 1t is only through the ex-
ercise of these virtues and qualities
that the great mass of mankind can
be brought nearer to the enjoyment
of life,
