CHAPTER X.

TINE face Of Mr.. James did not
betray his surprise, but its ex-
preston, so far as 1t had an ex-
L preston at all, was one Of con-
centration.
And that Of John Waye was not dis
similar in expression. The gentle and
admirable Dr. Studley would hardly
have recognized him as the agreeable
visitor of that afternoon.
MIR. James, remaining seated and
staring hard, waited for Waye to speak
So did John Waye, and the silence
grew more and more uncomfortable.
At lenght 1t grew unbearable-for Mr
James, and he spoke.
We'll. Mr.. Mysterious Waye?" he
growled harshly.
"Well, Gunman Gryde?" replied John
Waye, and Mr.. James ejaculatory reply
was uttered, perhaps unfortunately, be-
meath his breath. And so the Boy
Gunman valued and respected citizen
Of New York, has only changed the
tools of his trade. The march of prog
ress, eh? A far cry from Hinky Dtnk S
honkatonk to the MonaStsry!"
Mr.. James rose from his seat, an ul-
wonted gleam in his cold, dull eyes.
"you +" he snarled and at the
beginning of the word his hands were
empty At the end OF it a pistol was
thrust hard against John Wages stom-
ach.
"Tools Of me trade, did We say?" he
growled ferociously. Got anything
against this tool?"
mo, you've got it against me-" re-
piled John Waye pleasantly, but you
daren't use it, Gunman Gryde. Chill
6ren are your game"
put 'em up quickI" growled Mr..
James. Quick, Satd!"
'I heard you," replied John Waye.
IF take my hands out Of my pockets
1t won't be to hold 'em up," replied
waye. slowly removing his hands from
his pockets. And besides, I've always
thought-wlnen I've seen 1t done on the
stage or in the pictures. and, indeed, in
real life-that this close to hands up
business is extremely silly and theatre
cal, because as the poor victim begins,
or pretends to raise his hands, he's only
got to go so :"
And John Wages right hand seized
that of Mr.. James, knocking 1t aside as
it did so. Waye twisted the gunman's
wrist with powerful violence. James ut
tered gasping cry of pain and the pis-
tol fen to the ground as Wages left
hand closed on his assailant's throat.
You foul, unspeakable, loathsome
scunll" he growled. shaking him as q
terrier shakes rat.
But mustn't lose my temper and
get rough" he added. as he lifted Mr..
JamsS and flung him with crashing
force against the wall.
Mr.. James gaSped, shook his head
and swiftly stopped to where his pistol
lay.
STOPPING, he snatcl1ed it, and as he

Spirit of Brotherhood
in the Fathers House

Few American tourists fail to pay
a visit TO the city Of Rheims and its
gorgeous cathedral, now happily re
stored through the generosity OF Mr..
John D. Rockefeller. What will please
that American donor of broad and
even catholic mind, we feel, is to
know that the cathedral has become
the objective of many German pill
grimages and that the people of
Rheims are treating the thousands Of
German fathers and mothers who
come to pay a visit to the immense
military cemeteries nearby, with
dignity and sympathy. Walking
through the mystic twilight Of the
interior Of the immense edifice re
Gently, while the organist was prac
ticing up for some coming event, we

On it were printed but three words,
but those three words In that environ
ment held a world Of significance far
more In fact than their literal mean
ing. The card read: Man Spricht

strolled through the nave and trans
cept inspecting the restored portions
and windows, accompanied by our

according to a statement by Mary
Anderson, director of the United

Comparatively few employers are
aware of this insidious type of dan
ger and few recognize the need of
precaution" Miss Anderson said.
Each year brings changes in in
dustrial practices that involve the use
of materials that may prove danger
Gus to women-for example, the de
velopment of the use of radium in
paint and the new substances that
are appearing constantly in pastes,
dyes and other compounds"

UNEMPLOYMENT
COUNT STARTS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Ask-
ing the same inquiries as last April,
4,500 enumerators began a special un-
employment census of 20 important
cities January Is. This special count
will gauge the change in the unem-
ployment situation since the first
census, taken during the general CEN
sus in April
Arthur Woods, chairman of the
presidents emergency committee for
employment, announced the census
would be rushed to completion. AS
the count proceeds, he said, figures
will be rushed to Washington for con-
current tabulation, making totals
available within short time after the
field work is completed. He said Cen
sus Director Steuart was hopeful the
findings coold be reported by the mid
die of February.
Steuart said the 20 cities, totaling
about 21,O00,00O population, repre-
sented one-sixth of the entire popula-
tion and all major geographic divi-
sions, and would give ga good idea of
the national trend"
AS in the April census, house-to-
house canvass system will be fol-
lowed. To develop the extent to
which people have gone to cities look
ing for work, one new question will
be asked, "Has this person been in
the city more than four months ?"
Steuart said an increase, both in
numbers unemployed and in duration
of idleness, was expected from the
January census.
The cities in which the census will
be taken are: Boston, the Manhattan
and Bronx boroughs of New York,
Brooklyn, Buffalo, Philadelphia
Pittsburgh, Dayton, Cleveland, Chi
cago, Detroit, Duluth, Minneapolis
st. Louis, Birmingham, New Orleans
Houston, Denver, Seattle, Los An
geles and San Francisco.
