had informed him that the president
Of the company appearing as the low
bidder John X. Montgomery Of New
York; had figured in one or more
projected aeronautical enterprises in
Cuba, where his experiences had re-
suited in complete failure.
After testimony by Mr. Colladay and
by Elihu Root, IT,, who appeared as
counsel for the Pan-American Grace
Always, Postmaster General Brown
asked if any evidence submitted was
intended to indicate bad faith on the
part of the former Postmaster General.

ton Of charging bad faith, but he stood
by his assertions that the contract had
been improperly awarded.
Taken Under Amusement.

matter under sdvisement, allowing
counsel 10 days In which to file briefs.
He requested Mr.. Colladay also to sub
NIT memorandum explaining on what
legal grounds he, as Postmaster Cen
eral, could vacate the action of his pre-
decessor.
w. Irving Glover, Second Assistant
Postmaster General in charge of air
mail, testified that an international
existed at the time of the
award of the contract, because of poten-
tial foreign competition. He said also
it had been his understanding that one
feature of the plans Of the American
International Always, Inc, was 10

When she arrived at the
designated spot, she found
herself surrounded by blue
rhododendrons, while in a
special bed Of its own was q
thriving rose bush, with a
single bloom. It was q
beautiful delicate thing,
with it's petals just opening
to the sun. The edge Of
each petal was almost trans
parent, then it deepened into
9 delicate peach, then shell
pink, and finally into a deep
rose.
So exquisite was the
flower that Cynthia bent
and touched her lips to it.
As she did SO, Earl cried
out:
ST know what to name

his car and returned with a
very competent-loo looking pair
Of overalls, and get to work.
That night, as Cynthia
was leaving the greenhouse,
she noticed Earl waiting in
his roadster.
"Climb in, and let me
drive yOu home,' he invited.
As they sped along, she had
the opportunity to study him.
She liked his chin, she
thought, and his eyes. And
the way he smiled. She
wondered how long he would

would.
The next day, she showed
Earl how to cut and wrap
flowers and on succeeding
days, Mr.. Hodgins went into
long discussions with his
prOtege, as he soon cOnsid-
cred him, as to the proper
way to raise dahlias, and the
fertilization Of hotbeds for
tube roses and Iris, and the
amount Of water they
needed. Soon Earl was
spending most Of his time in
the greenhouses with Mr..
Hodgins, and exchanging his
theoretical scientific knowl-
edge for Mr.. Hodgins' prac-
tical training.
At first Cynthia was re-
lieved that this college boy
hadn't lived up to the repu-
ton of most college youth,
and later, she had to admit
to, herself that she was a
