Chapter 70

Chapter EE
After she had written the
note, sealed and addressed it.
Mary Lou sat quite still at
the desk until her hands and
feet grew ice cold and turning
out the light she shivered and
cropped her way back to bed.
once there she lay awake again
for, it seemed to her, a very
long time. She clasped her
hands in the darkness and
miserably, after the way OF
youth, wished herself dead.
The letter was in the desk
drawer. She would wait for an
opportunity, when, say. Mrs.
Lorrimer would be in New
York and Lorrimer perhaps
busy about the place, then she
would put the note in MRS.
Lorrimer's room and slip away,
escape somehow from the knowl-
edge of a love which could
never come to anything, a love
founded, in a sense, upon a
lie
But the next morning dawn
ed sunny and clear and cold.
There was a firm coating Of
ice on the little lake and at
breakfast Lorrimer cheerfully
announced that skating was in
dicated. He had dragged out
his old rusty skates from a
closet and had had them sharp
ened and shined and had or
dered a pair for Mary Lou
some weeks before. So, after
breakfast, we'll wrapped against
the cold, they went down to-
gether to the little lake and
Lorrimer knelt down to put on
her skates for her. She looked
down at his bent. dark head
and wondered how she could
ever leave him. Just to stay
near him. somehow, seemed
suddenly enough but
she couldn't stay.
The Penitent One
He looked up then and found
her eyes on him, intent and
mysterious and sorrowful. He
said, holding her slim ankle
in the clasp of his bare hand:
Don't be angry with me
PnY. 1ect NIGHT Delight.
couldn't help it. Ewell,
blame it on the Christmas
spirit. I can't tell you how I
dread your anger, your mis-
comprehension. You mean so
much to me, you have been so
much to me, so patient and ur1-
d derstanding. If ever I get to
be a useful citizen of this
world again, I-Ill owe it to
you. Do you forgive me?"
She said, "of course" Her
heart was beating like a trip
hammer. Lorrimer pulled her
to her feet, put on his mittens
and his cap, and took her
hands in his. Out they spun
upon the cleaning surface Of
the lake, hand in hand, laugh
ing like childen, circling slowly,
then faster, the blood running
warmly through their veins,
their cheeks whipped to fine
color, their eyes clear and
shining.
"Once I could waltz" he told
her, and put his arms about
her. Whistling, he danced her,
muffled and laughing, about
the lake. Then one foot slip
ped, he made a wild grasp to
recover his balance and they
both fell ANONYMOUSLY.
"Golly, are you hurt?" he
demanded and ruefully arose to
help her to her feet.
His Pathetic Plea
"Only my pride" she told
him. Suppose we don't try
anything quite as fancy as
that for a while"
They skated up to the bank
and back again, In long, grace
full sweeping steps. It was
nearly lunch time before they
returned to the house. On the
way up, their skates Slung
over his arm, he said:
We have-such good times. !
II haven't lived for so long. II

OF DIRECTORY ERROR
Odd Fellows Not Behind Advertis-
ing Book, Secretary Asserts.

Business firms of Indianapolis
and Indiana were warned today
that the grand lodge of the indie
pendent Order of Odd Fellows is
not publishing a lodge directory.
Contracts, issued under the name
of the grand lodge, for advertising
space are not authorized, H. E..
Roesener, assistant grand secretary,
declared.
Roesener stated that H. G. Rock
wood, grand master, wrote letter
of introduction for a man who in
tends to publish lodge directory.
This letter, however, merely was to
introduce the directory promoter to
the various lodges.
Although lockwood furnished a
list of members for the directory,
it was not intended that it should
be used for the purpose of Solicita-
ton, it was stated.
Space buyers in the directory are
not contracting with the grand
lodge, Roesener reiterated.

6-Day Exposure in Sea
Tells on Airmen; Two
Are III.

By United Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Willy
Rody, Christian Johanssen and
Ferdinando Da Costa, European
airmen, rescued after clinging to
their airplane for six days in desc
late seas off the Newfoundland
coast, arrived in New York today
still suffering from their experiences.
Nevertheless, we will try trans
Atlantic fight again next spring, +"
Rody insisted from his berth in>the
steamer Stavangerfjord, whic h
brought them to the port they had
expected to reach by air.
Rody's feet were badly swollen
from constant immersion in salt
water for six days, and he had to
be carried ashore. Johansseh ap-
peared to be in fairly good condi-
ton, but VEGAS leg, painfully in
jured while the three were afoat,
still troubled him, and he was un-
able to leave his cabin when the
stavangerfjord locked.
Describes Flight
Johanssen, who speaks excellent
English, explained why they changed
their course after passing the Azores
on their flight from Portugal
We had intended to take the
southern route" he said, but we
discovered our gasoline consumption
was too high, SO we decided to try
to hit the northern route.
AFTER We passed the Pennland
(about 400 miles off Halifax we
checked again on gasoline and
thought we had enough to make
land, at least, which then was only
ninety miles away. We had seven
teen tanks of gasoline and some Of
these contained less than we figured
I'VE used every drop of fuel in
those last hours, and finally were
forced to drop down to sea.
Weak on Last Day
Our rations consisted of about
ten ounces of chocolate and two
gallons of water.
THE water we apportioned out to
allow ourselves a wine glass of it
each day. When we we're picked up,
We had about two wine glasses left,
and it was full of oil and dirt, for
we had drained it out of the engine
cooling system.
All of us were very weak that
last day, but 1 believe we could
have held out two or three days
more
. The three men were met at quar-
antine by German, Norwegian and
Portuguese consuls.

PINEVILLE, KY, Nov. 17.-When
the first of the frame-up Harlan
murder trials comes up in the Mt.
Sterling Court today, the stage will
be all set for an agreement between
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, the 1. w. w. and the coal oper-
ators, according to George Maurer,
assistant secretary of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, who has been
investigating Harlan terror with the
Dresser committee.
Such an agreement, Maurer
charges, would mean that a few DO
litically selected defendants would be
released-if they agree to do what
Judge D. c. Jones and Sheriff ]. H.
Blair tell them to-and the rest be
railroaded to death sentence or to
a staggering Imprisonment.
The I. L. D. warns against the
danger of an agreement whereby the
four Negro miners held on fake
charges of murder arising from the
battle of Evarts may be especially

A tremendous scab army, organized

Mass Arrests, Raids
Wholesale arrests, house raids and

past few days in an effort TO smash
the NationalMinersU Union in Straight
Creek. E. B. Payne, Jesse Garland,
Chas. Posey, B. Smith. A. Barnett, all
active members of the National Min

criminal syndicalism. Bill. Garland,
Clark Clause, and Chester Ward are
charged with "confederating and

against any miner caught with an
other miner suspected of being Ma
tional Miners Union member. Bonds
in all cases were set at 5000 each,
the judges and coal operators know
