 chair and faced her.
 Then you've seen him before, haven't you?" she asked.
 "Oh. sure" Ann Ludlow told her i've tried to talk to him once or twice, but he's that shy you'd think he'd been brought up by the Quakcrs."
 She rattled on, but Honey Lou had stopped listening to her
 Shy Jack Wallack shy? He had seemed anything but shy last night when he had made love to her in that headlong way of his. She wondered about him.
 At noon she saw him.
 She saw him from the window beside her desk - the window where her scarlet geranium blOomod bravely.
 He was standing in the court yard below. and the first thing about him that Honey Lou noticed was his overalls. She noticed them even before she saw the blue eyes that caught hers and smiled a greeting 10 her.
 They seemed to bring him near CT to her, somehow - those blue ovcralls. In them he seemed just q nice boy, and not the Heir Ap- parent" to the Wallack Mills, as Ann Ludlow called him.
 Then she saw him walk across the muddy, Uttered yard and get into the car that stood waiting for him in a corner.
 With a wistful yes Honey Lou watched him drive the long black and-nickel car out of the courtyard. Her lips dropped at one corner as she saw it vanish down the narrow dark street beyond.
 Last night he had told her that they would be friends. Last night he had kissed her as if te meant it. and had said he was not sorry. But Honey Lou told herself sen- sibly he was rich. He moved in a world that was not her little work aday world.
 He was here at the mills only to learn how to run thcm-so that some day he could be at the head of them. And shc, Honey Lou Huntley, would probably be then just what she was nova woman who worked in the office of the mills.
 No, he was not for her
 Still rich men did fall in love with girls who had no money, and i they married them, too, some times! And she was just as we'll born as he was. She was a Hunt ley Of the Kentucky Huntleys- But what nonsense I'm think ! ing" She caught herself up.
 She turned sharply away from the window, and almost stepped into the arms of Joe Meadows, who was standing there as notion | less as q statue.
 He laughed as hc looked down into the startled. flushed face so | close o his own.
 Baby face. " he half sang. half said to Honey Lou, you've got the | cutest little baby face" | He sat himself on a corner of l Honey Lou's desk, and his smile was broader than ever in his dark, | handsome, evil face.
 Want 10 go dancing tonight, i Honey Lou" he asked.
 Honey Lou gaspcd and shook her | head.
 Don't you always call me Miss Huntlcy'?" she asked, backing away from him, and then to her relief she saw Ann Ludlow coming into the room on her way back from lunch.
 Come here. Ann" she called In her soft, husky voice that was

commission, and $4,000 to the sue
cessful Democratic candidacy of
George E. Bremen. Samuel insult,
Chicago public utilities executive, de-
clined, pending conference with coun-
sci, to say whether he had given f.
nancial aid to the Grove Barrett
political organization in Chicago,
which supported Smith.
Previously Allen F. Moore, of Mon
ticello, Ills, campaign manager fer
Colonel Smith and Republican Ma
tional Committman, had declined to
say who, besides himself and insult,
who were the chief contributors to
the Smith campaign fund. He him
self spent about $4,000 in Smiths in
terests, he said.
insult was excused until tomorrow
so that he might confer with his at
torney, while Moore was given until
Wednesday to produce his private
memoranda, kept in cipher, and other
papers bearing upon the campaign.
Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri,
the committee chairman, directed
Moore before his Temperance to
confer with Colonel Smith and "as-
certain whether he wants to assume
responsibility of refusal to disclose
fully the names of contributors and
the purposes for which the money
was paid"
The Republican national commit
teeman told the committee the total
sum employed" in the Smith cam
paign was $25S,574 and presented
a statement showing the purposes for
which the money was spent.
Moore said he kept no books and
that the totals which he furnished the
investigators were made up by an
examination of his check book.
insult, who described himself as "a
public utilities executive and Incl
dentally farmer" testified that be-
sides the s125,000 which he gave to
the Smith organization he spent sS4,-
734.S5 during the primary campaign
early this year in propaganda among
the foreign language groups and the
Negroes opposing America entrance
into the World court.
There is no question that Colonel
Smith benefited from this cam
paign." insult declared in response to
question by Senator Reed, "but I
would have spent it whoever the
candidate had been because was
very much concerned on the World
court question"
More than half a dozen other wit
nesses are under subpoena and sew
eral of them will be heard when the
inquiry is resume tomorrow.
Smith professed virtually no know
ledge of the financing of his cam
paign, and referred the committee to
Mr. Moore for answer to MOT of it's
questions about his organization. He
said he could name none of his COM
mittee except Moore and that he per-
sonally had given $4,000 to his cam
paign fund.

had ventured forth to recover some
canned goods which they had
hidden by the roadside. While in
hiding they had subsisted largely on
berries which they picked at night.
They made no effort to escape
when the sheriff found them, in
forming the officer that they were
very hungry. Their supply of food
and their tent were taken away
when James Coughlin, older brother
of David, found and removed the
rented automobile in which the two
fled from Ellsworth.
The boy and girl had a story of
adventure that the Juvenile thrillers
they had read at home seem pallid
by comparison. 1t was story of
twice unsuccessful attempt to storm
the barriers of the international line
of vigilant watching by day and ber-
ry picking by night.
A hired car took them from Els
worth to Calais but immigration off,
Gals who didn't seem to understand
the emotions of young love were I'M
sympathetic and intended marriage
in st. Stephen, n. B., looked far off.
But Coughlin, who has nothing II not
perseverance, tried again, this time
at Alexander. The border guards,
however, said mo" in a way that
left no doubt of the finality of their
decisiona
Reluctantly the automobile was
faced about. The boy bought stock
of canned goods. At East Machias
a tire went fiat, the car was aban-
doned and the couple fed into the
forest after first having secreted two
packages of the food near the high
way.
They found a deserted barn where
they hid as sheriff's posses, aided by
the clue the abandoned machine had
given them, anXiously secured the
surrounding forest. BY day they
watched and by night they tried to
pick berries, for their food supply
had run unpleasantly low.
Sunday night the last of their pro-
visions had gone and hunger was
gnawing. Hand in hand they set out
to retrieve the food they had left by
the road side. The sheriff, tipped
by a neighbor that the youthful low
ers had been seen in the vicinity, was
waiting and quick ride to the Jail
followed, where a plentiful spread
was devoured by the famished elop-
| ers.
Young Coughlin and Nellie essay
ed their first dash for freedom less
than two weeks ago. They were pur-
sued by David's older brother, James,
who found them in an abandoned
| camp. The boy threatened his
brother with a revolver but in the
end returned home and promised his
mother there would be no more
! elopements for long while.
| 1t was hard promise to keep and
| Wednesday they decided to try II
again. A note left by the girl de-
clared they would commit suicide
rather than return but did not deter
| searchers.
Ellsworth merchants said Cough
lin financed his trip with SO in
| checks.

see Mr.. Coolidge had indicated that the
president now regarded trade agree
ments as the logical recourse for an
adjustment Of foreign debts.
THE president has made no state
ment," the official announcement said,
and authorized no interview concern
ing our foreign debts or trade agree
ments. Any claim to the contrary is
without foundation. He did remark to
social visitor that foreign debtors
could pay their debts in part from
foreign trade He has not mentioned
trade agreements"
Since Mr.. Coolidge came to the Adj
irondacks he has maintained silence
Oh the political situation in France,
holding that it would be improper for
him to discuss the affairs of another
country. He also has refrained from
entering the discussion which recently
developed between British officials and
officials of the United States treasury
concerning the funds borrowed by
England from this country during the
war and their uses.
The practice Of attending to govern
ment business as he does in Washing
ton was continued today by the presi-
dent, who went to the summer execu-
tive offices after the departure for the
west coast of Secretary Wilbur of the
navy department, who had been a
weekend guest at White Pine Camp
A strict adherence to his business
schedule was regarded as somewhat
improbable the next few days, how
yer, as more visitors are to arrive to-
morrow when Mr.. and Mrs. Edsel Ford
of Detroit and Richard Washburn
Child, former ambassador to Italy, will
come to White Pine Camp to be guests
for several days.
The son of the automobile manufac-
turer will come by private railroad car
from Michigan, while at the same time
Mr.. Child will arrive from Pennsyl-
vania on his way to a northern resort.
Both visits are said to be social in
character. If Mr.. Ford is to discuss
the proposed leasing of the Muscle
Shoals power properties in Alabama or
other questions of government it has
not been indicated by officials, while
Mr.. Childs is said to be coming in re-
spouse to an invitation from the presi-
dent given before Mr. Coolidge left
Washington, to be his guest If he
should be in this vicinity this summer.
Going to the executive offices soon
after 9 o'clock this morning, Mr.. Cool
idge remained there until noon at
tending to administrative matters. He
found himself without the services Of
either Everett Sanders, secretary to
the president, or Edward T. Clark. per-
sonal secretary, as the former was con-
fined to his bed by illness and the lat
ter had been called to Boston by the
death of relative.
Before leaving for White Pine
Camp at noon Mr.. Coolidge went to
Paul Smiths Hotel, 100 yards from
the executive offices, and called upon
Mr.. Sanders, whose indisposition was
described as not serious.
In the afternoon he again returned
to the executive Offices and when he
left for White Pine Camp for dinner
his desk was clear of mail and depart
mental business from Washington.
w. H. Moran, chief of the United
States secret service, who has been
here for two days inspecting arrange
ments for guarding the summer White
House, left tonight for Washington.

ment that the legislature mayg see fit

Her resignation will be effective
just as soon as this special session
has disposed of these matter, the gov
ernor announced. She aid she hoped
to retire from office not later than
November 1.

If the legislature acts with dis
patch, Mrs. Ferguson will step out of
office about 81 months after the peo-
pie raised her to that position with
an overwhelming vote. The usual
custom OF giving the incumbent a
second term in this state is to be

When Mrs. Ferguson announced her
forthcoming resignation, Moody had

candidates Of 2,1S3. His vote then was
more than 10000 over Mrs. Fer
guson's.
Prior to her decision, the governor
conferred with her husband, James E.
Ferguson, who had done most Of her
campaigning, and their friends, one
of whom was Joseph Weldon Bailey
Of Dallas. former United States SEN
ator and staunch supporter.
The valuation of Texas road bonds
which had been declared invalid by
the United States supreme court in
the celebrate Archer county case
was one Of the principal issues in the
primary campaign. Moody and 9TH
ers demanded special session Of the
legislature to validate these bonds.
Governor Ferguson replied the de-
mand was a political move and in a
speech several weeks ago at Wichita
Falls, Mr.. Ferguson declared that on
ly the people of the road district in
volved could validate the bonds.
While the Archer county bonds to-
tai about 100000, there are about
500, 100000 worth of bonds affected
by the supreme court decision.
Mrs. Ferguson promised during the
campaign, however, that she would
call a special session soon after the
election.
The man who will succeed Mrs.
Ferguson upon her resignation is
Lieutenant Governor Barry Miller, an
attorney Of Dallas and Ferguson
supporter. Miller was an opponent
of Ferguson during the Impeachment
Of 1917 when James e. Ferguson was
