Miss MacFarlane wanted to dis
charge Flossie she wouldn't lift a
finger to stop her. 1t would be the
best thing in the world for Flossie
to get away from the Dexter Com
pany, and from Hilary H. Dexter,
its president, anyway. The best
thing in the world
"All right, Miss Mac" she said,
lifting her eyes to the shabby, sal
low woman, 'I'll be ready in a
jiffy."
They ate at "A bare wooden table
in a serve-seH restaurant. The
corned beef hash that Mary Rose
chose was swimming in grease, and
the coffee wasn't coffee at all, but
chicory.
AS she tasted it and set it down,
something that Flossie had said the
night before flashed into her mind
-"I get so tired of eating stew
and bread pudding in the kitchen" "
Well, Flossie wasn't the only per-
son in the world who hated poverty
and loved nice things. Mary Rose
loved them. too.
'If l married Tom, he could give
me everything she thought.
But sse was sure she never would
marry him. She knew that she
would rather be John Manners
secretary than the wife of any man
on earth-except John Manners, of
course Wouldn't it be wonderful
if
"a penny for your thoughts, Mary
Rose" The heavy voice of Miss Mac
Farlane brought her back to earth.
Mary Rose blushed and laughed.
II wasn't thinking" she said.
Now. then, about Flossie," Miss
MacFarlane went on. "a man has
been calling her up every day or
two for the last week. She-she
goes out to meet him.
She stopped for a moment to let
that sink in. Then she opened her
handbag, a cheap affair of imitation
leather.
And then" she said, fumbling
in it, "this morning I went into her
desk for some stamps, and found
these"
She laid. two cigarets down on
the bare wooden table. Each of
gold Cd"
Cd for Dexter" thought Mary
Rose
"And this" Miss MacFarlane laid
piece of torn paper down beside
the cigarets, "was with them!
Mary Rose picked it up. It was
part Of one Of the letterheads Of the
Dexter Company, and on it was
typed: Five o'clock at the usual
place If I'm not there, wait for
me-"
She creased it with her nervous
fingers. "You know, Miss Mac, "
she said at last, that Flossie and
Sam Jesup are great friends, don't
your"
Miss MacFarlane SMILED oddly.
"Qh, yes, l know that" she said.
"And look here, Mary Rose. I
wouldn't have bothered you with
all this except that I think you
ought. to know about It. I'm not
prying into Flossie's private busi-
ness because enjoy it-but she's
a wild child, and"
She never finished the sentence.
She and Mary Rose looked at each
other for a long moment, and there
was a kind of defiance in the girls
blue eyes.
IT don't think you need to worry
about Flossie, Miss Mac" she said
at last, with great dignity.

WASHINGTON, June g.
Repeal of the eighteenth
amendment and a substitution
for it of a grant of power to
Congress which would permit
the States and individual com
munities to establish a system
of prohibition regulation SIM
liar to the Quebec system is adj
vocated today by Senator
James w. Wadsworth, Repub-
lican, of New York.
The proposal, coming from wads-
worth, who is not only the probable
leader OF the Republican party In
New York but who Is one of the
most influential OF all the United
States Senators, is sure to split the
Republican party wide open over
prohibition.
Wadsworth is chairman of the
Steering Committee of the Senate.
He Is a candidate for er-election next

literally are lying awake nights try
ing to figure out a plan to defeat
him.
Challenges Borah
Wadsworth not only throws down
the gauntlet to the nti.Saloon
League, but defies Senator Borah OF
Idaho. who through his reported as
sault on proposed wet referendums
has made himself tho foremost cham.
pion of the uncompromising prohi-
bitionists.
His statement, in effect, writes
platform for the Republican party
OF New York and forces these New
York Republicans who don't accept
his Views TO go elsewhere.
1T is a great pity that the
Eighteenth Amendment was rati-

to his fine head, the clean sweep of
his jaw, the line Of the shoulders

Mary Rose wanted to brush 1t

DEATH CASTS
PAIL OVER SCHOOL
Boys and Girls to Take Part
in Funeral of Auto
Victim.
BY EIdora Field

In the dim quiet of the room from
which his frantic mother called to
him in vain Monday when he ran
out into the street before an auto
mobile and was killed, Harry Harp
er, 7, OF 1881 E. New York ST., lies
waiting while his little school mates
come softly in, one by one, to see
him.
He's so quiet-he was always
laughing" they say in awe. Wednes-
day afternoon at the home. the little
girls Of School will be the flower
bearers who will follow the small
white casket. The boys will be the
pallbearers. They are all grief
stricken at School 8.
To Console Mother
Today the teachers came in body
to see little Harry and to console
the mother, Mrs. Lee Harper. She
feels that If she could only have
made the little boy hear her cry of
stop. son-an autov' his life would
have been saved. But she stood by
a closed window when she called and
the little ears did not hear.
II saw what was going to hap
pen an instant BEFORE" said the
mother. "I pounded on the window
and called. but my baby couldn't
hear me and I saw his little arms
fly up. Then they were dashed
down and under those wheels. II
he could have heard me call"
The parents do not blame the
driver, j. e. Wilson, 1918 Parker
Ave. 1.-THE fact that he stopped
before the back wheels passed over
the boy-unless he dragged him,
looks as If he couldn't have been
going fast, but I want 1t thoroughly
investigated, remarked the father
1T seems so terrible that little chill
dren must be KILLED so cruelty.
We've read Of so many babies with
lives crushed out under automobiles,
but somehow we didn't realize
when it comes home this way"
but the father couldn't go on.
OeHcaIe OOHStlIuLlOn
Harry was always our sick little
boy" the mother said. ''He had a
very delicate constitution The last
winter was the first one when we
didn't have to coddle him, and now
after all our care-to have him
taken this way" She brushed away
tears to tell of the little boys pleas
ures over his first long trousers,
bought just last Saturday.
He's been crazy to have them,
but he was so little-we just
wouldn't get them. Last Saturday
though we yielded and. oh. he was
so happy. I'm big now he de-
clared, proud in the little gray long
trousered suit"
