finally sat down.
The last song he sang was the
song that Sally had heard John

q year ago when she had noticed
him for the first time: High

Her deep. shadowy eyes were
wistful as she watched him come
back to the little table in the
private dining room. So wistful
that Davy-who couldn't believe
that she wasn't in love with
him-was sure of it at last.
He reached for her hand under
the table and Sally thrust his

as they sat down. She put her
head back against the trunk OF
the old willow tree behind her
and looked up at the moon.
Instantly she felt Ted's arm
going around her shoulders and
he edged closer to her along the
grass.

But plainly Ted had thought
hopefully that that was exactly
what she had come for. In his
simple and short experience that
was what girls usually left q

out into the darkness with a man
for. As usual, Sally baffled him
by not doing the expected thing.

Then she remembered something
else that had happened that
night. Something that she had
been turning over and over in her
mind all week-the thing that
Mile had said to her: even
Johnny had to laugh about all
the funny things you did for
him.
For the thousandth time she
wondered how he had come to tell
Millie about the sandwiches she
had brought him when he missed

put on his desk one morning, the

She turned her head and looked
at him. He was looking at her
and his face was very close to
hers. His shoulder touched hers,
and through the thin linen of
his shirt she could feel that he
was trembling.

Chester Fleming Ends
Life With Pistol Shot

Chester A. Fleming, age a.. died
Sunday afternoon at the City Hos
pital Of self-inflicted pistol wounds
in the abdomen. Fleming was found
on the floor of his room, 1886 Main

tracked by his means. He first told

committee. This was a great blunder.
Wanted a Raise.
Every year the delegates for each
local made a pretence of sending in
demands to the general committee
for an increase in pay. This was sup
posed to protect them with their men.
Just as regularly the general COM
mittee took up the matter and found
that no increase was possible that
year. The vote would be taken to
remain "as is" for another year.
It became clear, however, that as
July 1st of 1926 approached, the day
when new agreement was to take
effect, that the motormen and switch
mems local would not again concede
to the existing agreement.
Several months earlier a strike had
been narrowly averted by the COM
pany when the motormen refused to
abide by a new schedule which the
marlborough tried to put over on
them.
lot lhelf ORDERS.
On June 30th, 1925, at 10 A. NJ. the
general committee delegates from all
the locals were summoned before Mr..
Hedley at his office. This meeting
was illegal even for a company union
inasmuch as the discussion over the
question of wage increase could not
be held in the presence of the officers
of the company and at the company
office.
Always before the regular meeting
of each year the Interborough is care
full to summon the delegates Of each
group of workers separately in order
to make sure that they would vote
right. From such a procedure in this
case the Interborough already knew
in advance how the motormen's dele
gates would vote. The company union
machine was accordingly prepared
for the attack.
Mr.. Hedley spoke as usual: The
company was poor; the poor compa-
ny was so poor that it couldn't be any
poorer. He was sure the men wouldn't
ask for more pay. They had been
good, loyal servants and deserved
more money. They would certainly
get it if there was a possible way.

secured. :.
