She got into the roadster be-
side him and looked at him
with troubled eyes as he leaned
forward to start the engine.
Suddenly he seemed like an
utter stranger to her. this man
who had been her pal and
sweetheart for almost two
years.
What did she know about
him, after all? Nothing, really.
She knew that he sold bonds
and didn't make enough money
to get married on. She knew
that his family lived in an up
State farm and that he had
worked his way through college.
She knew that he played golf
on Sundays, and that his small
roadster was not quite paid for.
But about the real Tom
Nicholson she knew very little.
she said to herself as the car
skinned along through the
gray. cold-looking streets. And.
yet, here she was, on her way
to live in that flat with him.
To shut herself up in it with
this stranger!
why, I don't even know
whether you're cross when you
get up in the morning." she
said aloud, "or whether you'd
be stingy and horrid to me, or
whether you'd be true to me-"
She gaSped as Tom turned in
his seat and gave her a startled,
puzzled look.
I'm not going through with
this" she finished wildly. and,
putting her head down into her
little white-gloved hands, she
began to cry.

less bushes. It bore the poetic
name Of Halfmoon Park.
On many and many a sum-
mer night, Tom and Lovejoy
had sat there on one of the
iron benches, watching the
stars come out like flowers
in the dark meadow of the
city.
Dusk was coming down over
it that November afternoon by
the time they reached it. Tom
stopped his car in the street,
close to q familiar clump Of
leafleSS shrubs.
sWe1l have to talk this over"
he said queitly. Are you sorry
you married me, Lovejoy? Or,
are you just nervous the way
they say brides always are?"

goods I thee endow-" he was
saying.
She could have giggled at
that, nervous as she was.
For outside in the bleak mar
row street were almost all Of
Toms worldly goods. A small
black roadster and an army
blanket that served him as an
automobile robe.
Everything else that belonged
to him-clothes and books and
three golf sticks-were already
in the tiny furnished flat that
was waiting for them across
the town on Hewlett Street.
They had rented 1t three
weeks before when the mar
riage-idea had taken its first
real grip on them.
I'VE shouldn't even look at
it," Lovejoy had said when
Tom showed her the ad in the
paper. you know we won't be
able to get married until you're
making heaps more money,
Tom. We mustn't even think Of
1t seriously"
But they had thought of it.
And that very afternoon had
rented it.
It had three rooms and q
breakfaStnook, and furnished
with brand.new carpets and gay
painted furniture. There was
bed-linen and table-linen and
flat silver in the pale-green cup
boards. There was a shining
new electric coffee.pot and q
small white electric ice-hox.
There were deep chairs and a
r wide green davenport In the
nving-room. There was a small
smoking table and a builtin
bookcase. There was even q pic.

had said. mo furniture to buy,

Then and there he had writ
ten q check for the first months
rent and the place was theirs.
But it had taken him three
weeks to persuade Lovejoy to
marry him.
Even now no one knew that
they were married and had a
home all ready and waiting for
them. -

Lovejoy asked when they were
coming out of the minister's

NEW YORK,-Many credentials
are being received by the Unem-

from shop committees, A. F. L. To-
Gals, and fraternal organizations,
besides the Industrial Unions and
Unemployed Councils, who have

ence will be held Sunday, Sept. %,

ject is to unite the employed and
unemployed workers in the struggle
for unemployment relief and the
enactment of the Unemployment In
surance Bill as proposed by the
Communist Party and endorsed by
the Trade Union Unity League and
the Unemployed Councils.

the example set by Local PITT of
Brooklyn where motion to elect
delegates was bitterly opposed by
Kivowits, the business agent, Ras-

be intimidated by the threats which
these bureaucrats made about the
suspension of the local and other
such steps which we know takers

elect delegates carried by a vote
of three to one. Sam Nesin of the
