BY CITIZENS GROUP
Named Candidate for Advisory
Council Post by Devonshire
Downs Association.

Alfred P. Thorn, general counsel of
the Association of Railway Executives
and past president of the American
Bar Association, was nominated by the
Devonshire Downs Citizens Associa-
ton last night to be a candidate for the
advisory council of the Federation of
Citizens Associations. The federation
will elect six advisory counciimen
April 6.
Mr.. Thorn was named to committee
charged with considering a House bill
under which the District Commissioners
would have authority to close streets
under certain conditions. The bill was
discussed with especial reference to
Van Ness street, adjacent to the Bureau
of Standards, and it was the opinion of
members that under the wording of the
bill the Commissioners would be en-
powered to close the street.

would cut off an outlet to property
holders between Connecticut and Wis
consin avenues and the committee ap-
pointed was asked to consider amending
the bill to protect property holders.

association presided last night

/ we're things she would miss un-
endingly.
For moment she was tempted
to appeal to Harold, to ask him to
intercede for her so that she might
be allowed to stay on at the judi
son.
But the temptation was fleeting.
Harold was weak rod to lean on.
No one would listen to him, least
of all his father.
Still, she was to have the benefit
Of his proven loyalty, and that was
encouraging.
HAROLD learned of what had
Il l. happened before Mildred left
the hotel. In a rage he searched
around until he found her.
PANS back of this" he said
furiously. But she can't get away
with it. I won't let her. I'll cable
dad myself, Mildred, right off. Wait
around, will you?
stay right here. Ill give dad a
cableful Of lowdoWn on PANS
craftsmanship that will burn him
up. He'll never stand for letting
her ride you like this"
He showed Mildred down into
chair. Don't stir. I'll be back in
a minute and then well talk this
thing over"
He was gone, and Mildred waited.
1t was something to have some one
doing battle for her even though
she doubte it would do much good.
1t didn't either, none at all; in
fact, Harold's interference made
things worse, as Pamela knew it
would when she learned that he had
cabled their father.
She met him just after he had
sent his message and he jumped on
her in a fine temper. I've told
dad why you want Miss Lawrence
kicked out" he said. You jealous
little brute"
Pamela smiled, a slow. haunting
smile. 80 you've cabled, have you?
Well, that's fine" She passed on,
"a lok of sly satisfaction spreading
over her face.
Nov dad is sure to believe what
I said" she told herself as Harold
looked after her in unpleasant cog
itation.
He knew her well enough to know
that his gesture of defense had
pleased her And it puzzled him
to know how it could be so, for he
hadn't the slightest idea that Pa
mela had told their father, in a
cable Of her own, that Mildred
Lawrence was trying to become his
daughter-in-laW.
Harold did not receive an answer
to his cable that day and when fin
ally one came he tore it to bits and
simultaneously consigned the whole
world, except Mildred Lawrence, to
damnation.
He got out Of telling Mildred
about it by lying to her. He said
his father hadn't replied, but his
eVaSive glanceS and uneasy manner
gave her contrary information She

father had refused to reinstate her.
"Oh, well" she said. II think I'll
surely find something this week.
You know I haven't told them at
home that I'm looking for a new
job"
She smiled across the table at
Harold-they we're lunching to-
gether-and at that moment if Pa
nela hadn't been his sister he'd
have hated her.
Harold reached over and covered
her hand as she toyed with des-
sert fork. Let me help you he
pleaded. Il can find you a job"
Mildred shook her head. "Then
you would want to own me-" she
said. But will let you do some
thing for me if you will tell me
why you are afraid of Huck Con-
nor"

a curt and def1nlte message from
Mr.. Judson himself to the manager
! ordering him to dispense with Mil
dred Lawrence's services immedi-
stely. She was to have two weeks
salary in lieu Of notice; but she
was to go at once.
When she had finished reading it,
/ Mildred suddenly sat down on the
chair she had at first refused to
take. All the fire and fight had
gone out of her like starch out Of
a wet collar.
Up until then she had retained a
faint hope of being able to induce
| Mr. Dazel to reverse his decision.
She couldn't believe that any one
could have her fired for nothing
more than a personal animosity.
But she couldn't fight a girl whose
resources extended to an indulgent
father who could not be reached by
the other side.
And she had no idea what argu-
ment Pamela had used to influence
her father. It would do no good to
cable him blindly. Besides, she
could not afford to enter into cor
respondence by cable.
Mr.. Dazel spoke gently to her
when she got up to go. Your
check is ready in the cashiers Of
fee, he said and I shall be glad
to recommend you most highly
whenever you choose to give my
name as a reference. You won't
have any trouble finding another
position, I'm sure, and I wish you
immediate success"
Mildred nodded blindly and
groped for the door knob.

closed behind her. "Of all the IN
fair deals that ever we're handed

MILDRED sought a quiet corner
lVA until she could overcome the
first shattering effects of the shock
she had undergone.
It wouldn't do to go home to her
mother before she could manage to
put on a cheerful face, she told her
self.
Perhaps, if she stayed downtown,
she might find another place before
night, Shed put in her applica-
ton at the best agencies, anyway.
It oughn't to be so hard, in a city
of millions Of people, to find job.
"A job, yes, but I need a good
salary I can't take the first thing
that offers" That was the trouble.
With only herself to think of Mil
bred would not have worried. But
they needed money at home.
There always were things they
ought to have and had to get along
without. Little things, like a new
tennis racquet, an electric fan, the
hundred and one things that a
school girl can not be happy with
out.
We'll" Mildred mentally squared
her shoulders, "at least Pamela has
done all that she can to RE.
won't have to worry about her any
more"
But that, she knew. wasn't the
whole truth. AS long as Stephen re-
manned the only man In the world
for Mildred, Pamela could make
her worry. And Pamela had got
what she wanted. She had re-
moved the girl whom Stephen
hadn't quite been able to forget.
Mildred accepted her defeat, but
this one thought gave her comfort.
Pamela had considered her a
dangerous rival. else she wouldn't
have bothered about her.
Only now-and with this new
thought Mildred went weak with a
sudden, very real pain in her heart

probably would forget her
And she knew that the bitter
sweet of seeing him almost daily with
Pamela, the brief visits he had paid
