CHAPTER LVI
LYNDA HEARS BAD NEWS


Al she read that letter over the
second time, Lynda Fenton wonder
ed II any other real man had ever
written a letter like 1t to real girl.
1T was like a page out of a novel
written by Elinor Glyn," she said
to herself. smiling somewhat ouizzi-
cally; nevertheless. she pinned a
great bunch OF Ralph's white violets
just above her heart, on the primly-
tailored night dress that she was
wearing.
Here Claire found them when
later she tip-toed into Lyndas room
to see II she were asleep.
poor girl" she said to herself
remembering what a bad time she
had had, and knowing that Lynda
was in for something much worse,
il she was In love with Ralph Armi-
tage.
She was Just going out again when
Lynda opened her eyes.
For a moment Claire could see
that she did not quite know where
she was, but quickly she smiled and
blushed
You think ! am silly to wear
Ralph's flowers as he asked me to,
, don't you. Claire?"
mo dear, II you intend to accept
him as your lover"
i Shall I, Claire?"
THE very fact that you are asking
my advice about it would make me
| feel that you should not do So
Why"
Claire came and sat down by
Lynda. MY dear, know what IT
means TO have your name coupled
with that Of man who the whole
world knows has wife It is hell.
Lynda and whether any love is big
enough to pay for It, I do not
know"
Again Lynda Fenton thought Of
Claire. She is a good woman and
her price would be only the conven-
| tionality and responsibility Of mar
rage
For the first time since she had
F, been working at Armitage & Sons
Lynda Fenton dreaded inexpressibly
10 go to the office the next morning
She knew. even before she saw the
morning papers. that there would be
another sensational story in them
about Ralph, and that she would
figure in It.
She also knew that every girl In
the office would be cranine her neck
as she passed through, to see how
she looked.
Once again she looked into tbs
glass and said to herself that there
was one thing to be thankful for
and that was that all people-oi
which she was one-did not veal
their daily history blazoned on their
foreheads.
She made up her face more care
fully than ever before. and with he'
gallant little head held high. her
eyes to the front. she walked with a
sprightliness she did not feel
straight through the big room to the

ASK COURT RULING
L. S. Asks Highest Tribunal to Make
Finding on Canada.C. 8. Employ.
n,ent Regulations.

Washington, June rs R>-The
United States has asked the supreme
court to pass on the right of persons
living in Canada and working in
the United States to cross the Dor
der without presenting vised pass
ports.
The government emphasized In It's
petition for review the Importance
Of the controversy. stressing the
number Of persons who will be az
fected by the outcome.
The question reached the federal
district court for western New York
which held that Mary Cook and An
tonic Danelon, British subjects. both
living in Canada, were immigrants
who must have passports to cross
the border when entering this coun-
try daily for work.
The circuit court of appeals took
a contrary view holding that Cana
dams working In this country and
returning to their homes in Canada
at night are ''non-immigrants" I'M
der the immigrant law Of 1924 and
that under the jay treaty of 1894
they are privileged to cross and re-
cross the border without passports
for purposes of business.
