There had never been any change in the friendly way he wrote. There were few affectionate phrases. He was not inclined to sentimentality. Yet on each hastily scrawlcd page Gypsy read messages which were infinitely tender.
 For year and a half she had | treasured letters, answered prompt | ly whenever the postman left an en- velope with Paris postmark. and made 1t clear to young men limiting at dinner or dance dates that her | evenings were occupied. She stayed | on at the Twelfth street lodging house. A sandy haired bookkeeper who had moved into the second floor rear was unusually persistent with invitations. A bookkeper at Mac Namara's bore up so faithfully un- der snubs that out of Christian char ity she relented and saw two plays with him. She did not enjoy her. self. Going about with Alan, who was witty and handsome. had made other young men seem common- place.
 l A year and a haif---f9 months, two weeks and three days to be ex- act--she had waited for this meet ing.
 | Suddenly Gypsy found her hands clammy and that she was shivering. She was happy and at the same time frightened. one block ahead she saw the French line pier. With one eye on. the taximeter she began fumbling in her purse. The cab halted. Gypsy was outside imme- diatcly. thrusting bill into the hands of the driver. She was gone before she could hear him 'rhanks. Ma'am" for the extravagant tip.
 Gypsy hurried up the long flight of stairs. She saw crowd of men and women and made toward them. An official was refusing to let them nearer. She pushed forwa~d and presented her permit, ana was = mitted past the rope barrier. The long. barn-like pier seemed to stretch on for blocks. And there was the boat!
 Dignity was forgotten. She ran. Past the neat boxed booths of cus- toms officials. Past waiting messen- gers. Past steamship employees. Gypsy ran until. breathless. she reached the group at the railing op- posite the gleaming white. boat. There were cheers and cries and waving handkerchiofs. Faces on the deck of the steamship. only | few yards away. became q hay blur. Everyone was smiling. Gypsy elbowed her way nearer, to the very edge of the barrier. She forgot these others. had an equal right to be there. She squirmed and pushed ruthlessly to reach the front line.
 Where was he? Where was Alan? All of the faces on the crowded deck looked alike.
 Something must be wrong. Gypsy searched left and right. She tried to steady her quick, darting gaze. Of course he was thereof course she would see him In a moment. There was q new commotion go- ing on at Gypsy's right. They were lowering the gangpianks. Passen- : gers began trooping over. Stewards scurricd this way and that with baggage and men and women be- side Gypsy rushed forward for clam- orous, nffectionate greetings. Laugh ter and tears. A couple beside the girl were embracing.
 More faces. Still more faces.
 Then she saw him. He was part way down the gangpiank before she recognized him. Alan looked more handsome than Gypsy remembered. He was glancing from left to right, He had not seen her. The girl pressed her way forward.
 "Alan." she cried eagerly. Allan lin herc!"

 Fondcst Of all of Cypsys mem orics was the evening before Cros- by's departure. It was late August and because they wanted to be alone they had sought out the most crowd ed place they could find---a boat for Coney Island.
 There had been moonlight: the wheezing. tin-pan tunes of ferry boat musicians; and the cool. fresh night wind. They stood in shadow. lean ing against the boats rail. and Alan's arm was pressed about her close.
 Gypsy" he had whispered, q don't want to leave you. Marry me tonight and let's forget about Paris!"
 A hundred times Gypsy Mcbride had lived through the spell of that moment. Often she wondered how she had had the courage to answer:

 He didn't want to write. He didn't want 10 go away at all. Repeatedly he begged Gypsy to change her
 mind. As repeatedly she refused. lt had been a delightful, fantastic boat ride. There had been kisses which
 each of them, happily deluded, thought to be unobserved. Yes, 1t was all sweet In retrospect.
 And after Alan had gone away there
 had been letters. Jus st as he had promised. At first constant stream of letters. Then one each week. Gradually the letters had come less frequently. But Gypsy could under. stand how that happened. She her. self. tired after long day In the office, often felt too weary to strug- gle with pen and ink. Besides. after Alan had settled down to work at art school and described the strange things about iivlngs in France and the people he met. there was less to write.

time Gypsy passed the young man in the hallway he stopped her and asked if she would pose for a sketch.
 She agreed. From the very first the young couple liked ench other Gypsy learned that Crosby attended night art classes and worked days in a dry-cleaning shop. He found her a splendid subject for sketches and made dozens of drawings of the girl. Evenings when Crosby was not at classes they spent together. Week lends they read or walked or went to inexpensive movies. Mrs O'Harc with unheard-of generosity allowed them to use her gas stove to cook occasionai late suppers.

 It was no wonder that to Gypsy the six months that she had known Crosby seemed the happiest of her life.
 There was nothing at all unusual about the friendship. Gypsy saw him for the first time on the stair way of the Twelfth street rooming house which was her home. She barely glanced at him. Another day Mrs Callahan. who roomed across the hall. confided to Gypsy that the new lodger was an artist. Mrs Cal lahan had got 1t straight from Mrs O'Hare, the landiady. The fourth

.LABOR'S CURES
FOR DEPRESSION
AWAIT DEBATE
Proposals to Be Fought Out
on Their Merits, Green
Declares.
BY DAN BOWERMAN
United Press staff Correspondent

VANCOUVER, B. c., Oct. 8.-All
the necessary preliminaries were
over today so $50 American Fedora
ton of Labor delegates plunged into
the job of making known their plans
for ending depression and restoring
the prosperity of 1929.
Except for resolutions which may
be introduced by unanimous con-
sent, all proposals on which the
federation VIII ballot had been in
troduced and referred to commit
tees. AS fast as the committees re-
port them, they will be taken up on
the floor.
The convention faced a showdown
on proposals to wreck prohibition
in one of three ways: BY repeating
the VolStead act, substituting state
control for the eighteenth amend
ment, or amending the Volstead act
to legalize 2.75 per cent beer only.
Three plans for taking up unem-
ployment slack by large scale public
building were offered. One asks
congress for 100000, 900, another
for $10,00O,000,00 and the third
leaves the exact sum to congress. A
number of reSolutionS-one of which
must be chosen-demand the five

resolution for exclusion of Filipinos,

It also was reported today that a
movement is under way to have
representatives of other European
powers visit Washington with Laval,
or soon after his conversations with
Mr.. Hoover.
THE presence Of Lord Reading,
British foreign secretary, in Paris
for conferences with French Off
Gals before Laval departs for
Washington indicates British inter-
est in the premier's visit.
The Italian ambassador, Count
Manzoni, conferred with Laval and
repeatedly discussed the possibility
of Dino Grand, Italian foreign
minister, visiting Washington. If
Grandi visits Mr.. Hoover, Lord
Reading also would be invited to
avoid sighting Britain. Such de-
velopment would constitute Brit

United Press STAFF Correspondent

OKLAHOMA CITY, oct. g. 1t
was on Aug. "a, 1929. A train pulled
slowly to stop at Tishomingo, old
capital of the Chickasaw nation.
William H. Murray, tanned and
rugged from his open life on the
Bolivian plains, alighted. He had
tasted bitter defeat in his South
American colonization plan and
almost was penniless.
Nevertheless, Tishomingo was out
to greet him.
Murray took off his hat and
scratched his head speculatively.
THE loyalty on all occasions Of
these people has puzzled me-" he
said, "but this last greeting digs me
in the ribs"
Clamored for Leadership
This was the spark that rekindled
the fire in the old political war
horse. Thousands of his friends
clamored for his leadership in a
trying economic period.
Several weeks later, reporters
learned that the Sage of Tisho-
mingo" was in Oklahoma City. They
found nim in his room, stretched on
a bed, his shoes off in corner.
In a booming voice, Murray re-
counted tales of Bolivia, choice
Jokes, a bit risque, and the evils of
the federal reserve system. Then
he told of his determination to run
for Governor.
The band wagon movement swept
him through the first primary and
placed him in opposition to Frank
Buttram, Immediately dressed,
wealthy Oklahoma City oil man.
A campaign of invective followed.
Murray polled 134,355 votes, almost
twice that given Buttram. Win
ming over his Republican opponent
in the general election merely was
routine.
He Works Swiftly
The election over, Murray was
obliged to borrow 5000 to attend his
Inauguration. His father, the late
Rev Uriah Dow Thomas Murray,
administered the oath of Office.
Oklahoma knew what kind of a
Governor it had when the legisla-
ture convened. Alfalfa Bill de-
livered an ultimatum for tax re-
forms in his first message.
He demanded rate reductions
from public utilities, a tax on cor
porate income and incomes of those
in the higher brackets. The legis-
lature quickly enacted a law pro-
viding for his advocated tax COM
mission but there their cooperate
seemed to end.
The session ended with several
choice bills unpassed. Murray
promptly served notice he would
ring the fire bells"-a constitu-
tional convention practice of at
tracing voters attention-and in
itiate the bills to popular vote later.
That vote is due soon.
alfalfa Bill" ExpIOdes
The oil problel, faced Murray He
was unwilling ii let it interfere
with his tax reform program. He
appointed a committee to probe the
matter. The con- Nittee advocated
repeal of the sta& Sroration laws.
"Bahw exploded Murray. THAT
committee is dominated by Harry
Sinclair. They're through-dis-
charged. Call out the nNlitia"
That's how Alfalfa Bill works.
