Dick and Peg rushed to
release her, but Felicia s

on the empty cot in the

"They took him !" Ann
gasped, as the gag was re-

glad. Passion was still there,
alive in them both, yet from
this new tenderness and
mounting faith in one ap-,
other was growing a love
that very real, deep, and
enduring.
On the Hodges steps she
held her for moment In
gentle, almost brotherly,
embrace. '"Poor little sleepy
kidd" he said, and turned
back to the roadster. He
had just started the engine
when her scream sounded
from the house.
"Dick! Dick !"
He was MP the steps in a
breath and she rushed to-
ward him, her blue eyes big
with terror.
In the living room, where
Felicia had .ilst turned on

Dick united the gag, but

Felicia had darted up the

"Ann!" her voice sounded,

She rushed to the door of
her own room, the door be-

was locked.

set aside the precise order Of this
church, or to regard himself as superior
to the law of a body of which he is the
servant"
After pointing out that the Episcopal
Church had dared to challenge the
world on the question of Christian
unity" Bishop Freeman expressed the
opinion that the solution of this prob
lem is to be found not in definite pro-
gram or in a prescribed formula, but in
a fraternal spirit advanced by those in
terested. "A group of men widely diff
ferent in taste and temperament" he
said, will, under the spell of comrade-
ship, find their minds singularly af-
fected by common point of view" A
further expression of his views was con-
tanned in the assertion, uniformity we
may not seek, but unity, Christian fell
loWship, we dare not refuse"
Bishop Freeman also urged consid-
Grafton of the financial problems of the
rural clergy. THAT a clergyman capable
of administering the affairs of a
parish" he declared, should receive a
wage below that of unskilled labor and
at time when the cost of living has
risen from so to 60 per cent, is not only
inconsistent but utterly inequitable."

made.
James Burkitt, who calls himself a
"Jeffersonian Democrat" and who led
the fight on Mayor Hague, was the OBJ
Ject of two hostile demonstrations after
the voting.
When he appeared at a meeting Of
colored voters last night he was chased
four blocks by the crowd before police
reserves, responding to riot cali, dis
persed his pursuers. Another hooting
crowd of Hague partisans gathered at
his home. A stone was thrown through
a window before police routed the
throng. A police guard was stationed
at the house.
Each organization had five candf-
dates in the field. The five receiving
the highest number of votes are elected

Hague received 67,879 votes. The

ticket of three Democrats and two Re-
publicans was 1885.

Query on Knockers
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
You can go plumb to hell, that's my
business!" said the Ambassador, pulling
hard on his undressing pipe.
That was the answer Charles G..
Dawes, newly appointed Ambassador to
the Court of st. James gave newspaper
men today in reply to an inquiry as to
whether he was taking along to Lon
don supply of Knockers.
Before replying. however, he asked
whether diplomatic answer was want
ed or whether an answer that the ques-
ton deserved was in order. The CORE
spondentS were referring to the Gus
tomary silk knickerbockers worn by
diplomats at King Georges functions.
Is Guest of Hoover.
Gen. Dawes was initiated into the
foreign service today amid an air of
cheerfulness. He is guest of President
Hoover at the White House and went
over to the State Department during
the forenoon to call on Secretary Slim
son and receive his instructions pre-
paratory to sailing for England on the
steamship Olympic from New York on
June z. He spent more than an hour
with Secretary Stimson and afterward
posed with the Secretary for camera
men.
Don't put away the pipe" remarked
Secretly Stimson to the Ambassador
as the pictures were about to be taken.
The new Ambassador, with new
pigskin portfolio holding his documents
and bearing on its side in his own
handwriting &C. G. Dawes, Evanston,
Ills, U. S. A." returned to the White
House, saying he was going back to
Chicago before sailing for his foreign
post.
The former Vice President turned
aside all serious questions asked by
newspaper men. When asked for his,
opinion on the reparations problems
and the naval controversy he reached
into his pocket and, producing tele-
gram, remarked:
Now let me tell you about Lady
Astor's invitation"
Invited to House Party.
He said Lady Aston. daughter of the
State of Virginia, who occupies seat
in the British House of Commons, had
sent him and Mrs. Dawes an invitation
to a house party in their English home
on July 16. The Ambassador said he
had sent a message to Lady Aston say
ing he could not make any important
engagements before arriving in London.
Gen. Dawes, the State Department,
Washington: How wise you are.-Nancy
Astor," was the text of the reply he re-
ceived today.
1t brought hearty laugh from the
Ambassador.
