 Lost. Nan stared at the word. had so counted on winning this case. Lost. Not very many times in his career as a criminal lawyer had John Curtis Morgan been forced to make that confession. Through her tears. Nan saw the very letters of the word grow giant in size. Lost. It was like cry from her heart to his-not. I've lost" but T am lost" Would he not be lost indeed. when he came home to find Iris almost in his very house - only the width of a street between her and him? A magnet drawing. drawing. until he was lost indeed. Nan closed her eyes for a mo- ment then looked at the message again. Please meet me" Suddenly exultation swelled in her heart. He wanted her; he needed her. He was sad and discouraged, and he was crying out to her for comfort
 When she met him at the train his effort to be casual and philo- sophical over his defeat made Nan want 10 press his head against her breast and murmur broken little | words of love and comfort
 Well, Nan - that's that" he said his mouth quirking downward in the smile she knew so well. But ! there was no smile in his deep set black eyes. Guess We were about due for a tumble. Morgan & Nor gan were getting too cocly, :. But We mustn't slip up on the i Blackhull case"
 Because there was so much that must be said. and which she could not yet bring herself to utter, Nan was unusually silent on the drive ! homewarJ. Morgan, glad to let her have the wheel, relaxed against the cushions and closed his eyes. but not once did he take his arm from about her shoulders.
 Here we are, dear" Nan said own driveway, Sorry to disturb you"
 "I was almost asleep" he ad- nlitted, IS he sprang out to opcr the garage doors for her.
 Two or three minutes later. as they walked arm and arm along the driveway 10 the front of the house, Morgan exclaimed:
 "Wcll, we'll see the Tanner cottage has been rented. Who are our neW neighbors. Nan?"
 Nan couldn't tell him-not to. night when he was so tired anl sad. While she was still struggling for words any words rather thar the truth. the necessity for answer. ing was taken out of her hands For the porch light Of the littl, house across the street came on a just that moment. and out of tn, door stepped two figures a mar and woman. Nan recognized tn, man instantly as Rufus Hubbard a divorce lawyer. The woman. o course, was Iris Morgan.

 That meant another kiss. of course. And this time it was Will lis Todd who halted uncertainty on the threshold. unwilling to inter- rupt an embrace which he knew was giving the most exquisite hap piness to the girl he loved.
 We couldn't wait for you, Will lis." Nan cried. Forgive us, won't you? And come look for what Santa Claus left for you"
 She made a great ado of turning her back while he opened the pack age containing the cravat she had given him. ito allow him time to recover from the shock" as she laughingly warned him.

 And they laughed at him again. Morgan explained: The male vo- cabulary. under certain circum- stances. seems to be curiously lim- ha p thing about that tie that I've just been saying 10 Nan about this watch she gave me. What is it., Estelle?" he broke off. as he caught sight of the maid beckoning to him from the doorway.
 Telephone, sir she answered, with an odd note of resentment or sullliness in her voice.
 It required no unusual amount of intuition for Nan to guess that the call was from Iris Morgan.
 Don't look like that, honey Willis whispered, as Morgan strode across the room toward the library to answer the call. I'm glad l came tonight. I see now why you feel about him as you do. Hes a prince. Fight for him, Nan. He's worth it"
 That's big of you, Willis" Nan murmured husllily I'll fight all right. but so will she. And she has the biggest advantage over me that one woman can have over an other
 And that is?'
 John was mad about her for the whole eight years they were mar ried, and he never really possessed her. Now she pretends shes just as much in love with him as he ever was with her Cant you see how the thought of possessing her com- pletely after all those years of frus- trated adoration, must affect him?''
 But he loves you" Willis Todd protested. Not in that insane, slavish way, perhaps. but truly, deeply. You've got to believe that Nan.'
 'I do." Nan said simply. "l l wouldn't fight for a minute if didn't believe that. Now. I'm going to tune in on some choir music. 1 love the Christmas hymns. Don't you?'
 Nan was at the radio cabinet and Willis Todd was relaxed in a big wing chair before the fireplace when Morgan re-entered the room ] With a deep sigh, whether of worry or contentment Nan could not know, he dropped to the couch and stretched his long legs toward the cracking flames of the wood fire.

PRESERVE
To COMP PRISE
1000 ACRES

HARRISONBURG, Va, Nov. 5.
A 1.O00.acre game sanctuary has
been established In the Shenan-
,6oah Mountains. Of northwest
Rockingham, near the West Vir-
ginia line, by Game Warden
Wade Fawley, in an effort to
replenish the stock in deer, wild
turkeys, pheasants and other
game which formerly freduented
the region.
The Shenandoah National For
est furnished part Of the wooded
land in the tract, while individ-
uals turned over other parts Of
the area.
Deer Increasing
The sanctuary includes the So
acre "deer park" which was es-
tablished in the Shenandoah
mountains five years ago by pri-
yate citizens and which now con-
tainS nearly 100 deer.
Hunting in the entire area Is
strictly forbidden and those in
charge of the game projects hope
to increase the deer.
This animal was extinct in its
former favorite haunts before
five deer were placed in the
fenced-in inclosure in 1924.
Plenty Bears
Bear are reported as plentiful
in the area, and permits may be
obtained to hunt them in the
game preserve. The same is true
of wildcats. Four bears have
already been killed by mountain
-huntsmen after the animals
raided flocks Of sheep.
The hunting clubs are now
organizing for a busy winter
season. The sport is a strenuous
one, however. the last bear killed

Biedenkapp Speaks for
Single Agreement

Especial to the Daily Worker)
BOSTON, April 12.-The indie
pendent Lasters' Union of Boston,
after hearing Fred Biedenkapp, gen
eral manager of the Independent
Shoe Workers Union of Greater
New York bring a message of soli-
darity to the Boston shoe workers,
began immediate steps to unite with
the rest of the 5000 shoe workers
now out on strike here in demand
for the signing of one agreement.
Thirty of the Al shops in Bos-
ton are on strike 100 per cent. The
lasters took the lead Monday morn
ing and the stitchers completed the
tie-up Wednesday.
Strike Spreads.
When the lasters called their
strike last Monday, they were the
sole bearers of the banner of revolt
against the oppressors as their

ranks of the shoe workers, and by
Wednesday the tie-up was complete
with the exception of three plants,
one of which, the Thomas G. Plant
Shoe Co., is now receiving the con-
centrated efforts of the 5000 strik-
ers.
A special appeal was made to the
Boston shoe workers to prevent
members from deserting their ranks
to go to New York as scabs, and
Biedenkapp also promised that the
New York union would make every
effort to protect the Boston strikers
from desertions in New York.
Biedenkapp was invited to address
the mass meeting of the lasters at
Chelsea, Mass, late this evening, as
the first step towards striking the
Chelsea shoe factories where con-
ditions are even worse than those
in the notorious Boston plants.

TO DEPORT ALL
COMMUNISTS IN
BRITISH india
Viceroy Issues Order
Defying Legislature
Resolution
Scores May Be Expelled
To Strip Parliamentary
Heads of Puppet Power

DELHI, India, April 12.-An
ordinance expelling all Communists
from India was issued over the heads
of the two puppet Indian legislative
bodies today by the viceroy, Lord
Irwin.
This assumption of power by the
viceroy is legal under the dicta-
torial government of India. A reso-
luton ruling out of order any dis
cussion of the Public Safety bill,
which also aimed to expel all Com
munists, was the first action of the
legislative assembly on reconvening
after the recent bombing.
Lord Irwin made a gesture of
Difference to the parliamentary au-
thority of the president of the as
sembly, adding that where the gov
ernment "was for weighty reasons
unable to acquiesce in the assem-
bly's actions, the viceroy would al
ways make use of his dictatorial
power.
He further declared that the gov
ernment wanted the powers pro-
vided in the Public Safety bill and
intended to get them.
He asserted that the rules of the
Legislature would in future be
amended in such a way as to pre-
vent Interruptions of the govern
ment's policy by the president of
either legislative chamber. This
move virtually ends the semblance
of legislative government in India.
The deportation of scores of left
wing working class and peasant
leaders is forecast as the immediate
intention of the Anglo-Indian gov
ernment. 1t is expected that this
will be the fate of many of the lead
ers arrested during the recent Red
raids and mass arrests, who are now
awaiting the farce of a trial in
British India in the penitentiary at
Meerut.
