 Are you?" Jon asked gently. q like tramps. Do you remember years ago when I first saw you you thought he was so wonderful" He's so generous, he'd give away anything he had-and take anything you had" she smiled Julian is a darling" But Jon did not want to talk about her father. DO you remember the funny old things I was staying within Eng land"
 And the garden?" And old miSS-What' her name who was so shocked at us?" They went on with: DO you re- nember?" until the English rec ,ory with its faded chintz and shabby books, was bright with their memories.
 Jon, looking at her strangely, aid, Your hair is like dark beech caves, Nora"
 She thought he had forgotten; but he had remembered. Wings unfolded in her breast. The sky and grass became illumined How everything had changed as she walked back beside him toward the old Dutch house. Her home, her srees, her sky, her cloudsl
 She understood now why he had seemed so cold and hard. He had lnstinctively hidden from her his deep and terrible pain. It was that that was drawing them close to each other now. He was as un- like Nicholas as only brothers can be. But he seemed more akin to her than anyone she had ever known, except her father.
 T know you won't tell anyone what I have told you?"
 He meant, of course, that she should not tell Damon; the smile she gave him was her promise.
 In the drawing room Damon was at the tea table, with a splendid looking old man beside her. Jon took Nora up to him and Damon's father looking down into her pretty fresh face said, T hear you're com- ing to stay with us? That's what we need, youth and freshness about us as we grow older"
 Damon colored faintly and asked Jon if he would make cocktails while MT. Van Worst drew Nora aside.
 "A very strange family He shook his head. "Jon's mother. A lovely woman but-had a passion for letting things free. She'd buy birds, just to let them out of their cages. Yes, very strange"
 As he went on talking Jon glanced at Nora and smiled At that intimate smile of understand ing her heart leaped up. She loved them! She scarcely listened to what old MT. Van Worst was say- ing, intent on those two beside the tea table. Jon was leaning toward Damon and Nora caught only a few words.
 
 "-wretched tramp of a father no upbringing-"
 She saw Damon look up and nod. In the twilight room she saw Jon'S face arrogant and cool. The treach- cry of those few words burned her like red hot oil poured into her heart.
 He had told Damon even while Nora was in the room all that she had poured out to him in that in timate talk. "A wretched tramp of fatherl" He pitied her and he was ashamed of her. He was talk ing her into his home only because it was a duty left him by the dead man.
 Nora sat listening to MT. Van Worst talking or rather she pre- tended to listen while Ions treach-

Chapter IT JOINS BURNING WORDS

JOnathon'S head was sunk De- tween his bowed shoulders. His anguish was suddenly painful tc her.
 T told myself" he continued, q couldn't bear to see you day after day to be reminded of . him .' She waited, watching the bent on the river He spoke steadily.
 Nick was seven years older than I. It makes a lot of difference when you're kids But afterwards I grew up to him. He was always dark and violent and strange. He was something like my mother. , Was he ever going to say any thing more? Was he going to sit forever, his fair head bowed in his hands, his shoulders hunchedo He went on at last.
 Nick scorned most people No one understood him. And I was crazy about him. You know how younger brother sometimes looks up to an older? Well, would have done anything Nick told me to. But he seemed to hate us all- all but me.
 Nothing mattered to him but his painting. He wouldn't go to college It upset my mother. But he liked my step-father; and Da- mon who came to live with us after my mother was married a second time. They left him alone. A few days before he was going to Paris to study, we quarreled. He struck me and knocked me down said I wished to God he was dead. I never wanted to lay eyes on him again He said I never would He went away and didn't write And I was too proud to write first. This spring he was to come back. Instead you came. "
 His eyes, she saw, were blurred with tears. After a while he went on more steadily not in that voice that he forced to be cold and hard.
 When I saw you in the station -that little girl I had met years ago in England, it seemed as though-you'd come back to show me what a beast I'd been. thought Nicholas must have told you he hated me"
 'fHe never told me anything"
 q don't suppose I'll ever get over it. When you love person as l loved him, as you-' his voice trailed off.
 The moment had come that she had dreaded. She must tell him that she had never loved Nicholas Jon held oCt his hand.
 Mora" he said, will you let me make it up to you-for him?" But you may not want me here -w4len you know"
 He was looking at her now, his green eyes on hers. She saw that he had become her friend. And she needed him so desperately. She needed all he had to give, the old house, the security.
 I'm not very-I mean I should earn my living. But don't know how. There isn't anything l car dol" she said wildly.
 But that wasn't what you were going to tell me, was it, Nora?"
 "No. It wasn't"
 If she told him that she had only married Nicholas because she wa' afraid, he would despise her. No she couldn't .-il hin!

FOR JONES

Gentleman" Mike Romano has
been substituted for Paul Jones,
the Texas Flash" who was to
have faced Chief White Feather
in one of the preliminary matches
at the wrestling show tomorrow
night at the Washington Audi
torium. Promoter Joe Turner to-
day stated that Jones was in
jured in his match with Dick
Daviscourt in Baltimore last
night.
Romano, the Italian heavy
weight, has a flock of admirers
here, and Promoter Turner signed
him to meet White Feather i'm
mediately after hearing Of the
injury to Jones.
Dick Shikat, who briefly held
the heavyweight championship
until Jimmy Londos knocked him
off the throne, will lock arms with
Billy Bartush in the feature
match.
There's something about Billy
Bartush that sets local fans
wild and he'll have the most
sentiments tonight. Many Of
the wrestling bugs here think
Billy entitled to a return match
with Champion LOndoS.
Other old Standbys with the
Washington wrestling public will
grace tomorrow nights program.
There is Chief White Feather,
who always gets a raspberry or
two, even when winning. He
will mix with Paul Jones, who
rocks 'em to sleep with his cradle
split. A nice guy, this Jones.

HOSPITAL ASKS
|NTERNE AID

The executive committee Of
Emergency Hospital will today
study a plan whereby some means
may, be found to relieve internes
at the hospital from the necessity
of waiting at court in the trial Of
cases in which they figured.
In the past, the work at the in
stitution has been hampered and
in a number Of recent instances
ambulance calls have been delayed
due to the absence Of the internes
at court.
New Plan Proposed
B. B. Sandidge, superintendent
of the hospital, said that he has
suggested on several occasions
that the internes be permitted to
make formal dispositions for in
PRODUCTION in court by some au-
thorized employe at the hospital.
It is probable that this same
recommendation will be made by
the committee today and a COM
mittee named to confer with the
United States Attorney.
Calls Are Delayed
There are at present, 10 internes
stationed at the hospital. Yester-
day, six were assisting surgeons
at major operations, one was in
court in the trial Of a case,
another was at an inquest at the
District Morgue, one on duty in
the emergency room and the
other one was off. AS result
Sandidge said four ambulance
calls were delayed.

The association will be assisted

to negro citizens throughout the
country for achievement in art,
literature, business, industry and

GRANTS OFFICE
ROLLS GROW

The growing job of caring for
Washington's Federal reserves
and Fairgrounds is disclosed by
the fact that the office of pub
lie buildings and parks, under
Col. U. s. Grant, 3D., now has
1888 employees on its payrolls.
Not many years ago, the roster
of the office numbered only q
few hundred workers. Between
the development Of such projects
as the Arlington Memorial Bridge,
the Rock Greek and Potomac
Parkway, and the extension Of
the public building program, how
ever, greatly enlarged demands
have been made upon Colonel
Grants personnel.
The Fine Arts Commission
makes less of tax upon the
Treasury for personnel than any
other Government institution. 1t
carries only three workers on
civil service rolls, members Of the
commission receiving only neces'
sary expenses for their work.
The Treasury remains the
largest department in Washing
ton, so far as the number OF en-
ployes is concerned. It now has
1883, with the Department OF
Commerce a close second With
