 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER x.
 Judy said nothing to Chummy about her dinner with Bruce Gid. con. She merely told her that she was dining out with friend. and she came back quite early.
 Chummy did not ask any ques- lions. She was still too much un- balanced-poised, as 1t were .on a knife edge between memory and forgetfulness. She fully realized now that her mind had been a complete blank in some respects. 1t was most probable that Judy had friends of whom she had known nothing in the somnolent skate of her brain,
 There was something rather Alarming that Judy had recog- xizea. Chummy did not for Q mo- naeit realize that Judy had been seeine her lover, and had been go- ing about with him quite fre- Qtsentfy, without knowing who he was. His return. So far as sChummy was concerned, took place on the day when she came into Mkr room in the Village and found him with Judy.
 Judy had been obliged to warn everybody at the cafe about this. 1t was the most mysterious fact of Chummy's condition. The nice, handsome boy" whom she had met before her illness had evidently, in her reawakened mind. not the slightest connection with Alan Stsyne. And yet, when she had dreamed of him during her illness, it had been as he was now, and not as the pallid, half-starved fail- ure who gave up the hopeless struggle and went away.
 when she thought over her evening with Bruce Gideon, Judy could find nothing amiss with it and nothing particularly in its favor.
 It has already been said that she knew life, but she knew 1t chiefly in one respect as far as men were concerned. To her all mer were alike-except the "boys" at the cafe, Bastien Dumont, Alan Steyne, and extraordinary chartc- ters like Max Dickbread and Doc tor O'Shane. None of those had ever made love to her. All others

GAS FIRM REPLIES
TO UNION PROTEST
Statement Says 80 Per Cent
of Money Paid Out Will
Go to D. c. Workers.

The Central Labor Unions condem-
nation of the Washington Gas Light
Co. for awarding a contract to Baltl-
more firm for the construction of a new
gas holder at its Southeast plant was
answered today with statement that
80 per cent of the money paid out in
wages on the project would go to
Washington labor.
The statement was issued by the gas
company, but quoted officials of the
Bartlett Hayward Co., the firm en-
gagged to build the $265,000 gas holder
Protest Non Union Labor.
Oragnizad labor leaders quickly re-
sponded to the statement by declaring
the protest of the labor union was
based on the plans of the contractor
to engage non-union men on the job
and not because of any fear that Wash
ington workmen would not benefit
Charles E. Young, secretary of the
Washington Building Trades Council
said the non-union men are being en-
ployed at a wage scale far below the
union standard.
The gas company statement pointed
out that its officials had impressed on
the contractor that they desired that
Washington labor be employed on the
new gas nOlQer III SO lar as is pos
sible. and that the firm had agreed to
do so. John Mason, vice president OF
the firm, also is quoted as denying that
wages would be cut to panic levels
He declared. the statement said, 1.-The
company would pay the same wage II
has always paid for the same work
under similar conditions. even during
boom periods when labor is scarce"
Seek to Aid Employment.
George A c. Wood, president of the
gas company, pointed out that the con-
tract was awarded the Bartlett Hay
ward Co. because there is no firm in
Washington qualified to erect the gas
holder. I'VE have requested the COM
pany to give special consideration to
Washington labor" he said, land they
have assured us that it is their inten-
ton to do so. Further than that we
are not in position to go. We have
made our position and desires in the
matter very clear. One of the rea-
sons for building the holder at this
time was to supply more work for
Washington men,"

MYSTERY SHOOTING
WAS ONLY FIGHT
Wife of Participant Says Dis
pute Over Ambulance Call
Was Cause.

The story of a mysterious shoot
ing which caused police to raid an
apartment at 8l6 K street last night
and arrest a 19-year- artists model
and two men was told today by Mrs.
Katharine Throckmorton. wife OF one
Of the men involved.
The affair, according to Mrs Throck-
morton, was nothing more serious than
a fight between her husband. Robert
w. Throckmorton 81. brother Of Cleon
Throckmorton. noted stage designer
and scenic artist, and Arthur L. Smith,
80, theatrical producer, which started
from an argument over whether Emer-
gency Hospital should be asked to send
an ambulance for Mrs. Clara Moore, an
artists model. who had been a guest
at the Throckmorton's apartment for
the last several days. and who was Ill
when Smith started to telephone the
hospital Throckmorton, according to
his wife, wrenched the telephone from
Smiths grasp and hung up the re-
ceiver, which led to an exchange OF
blows. Smith fell and struck his head,
inf1icting a small cash.
Some One Called Police.
Some one-nobody seems to know
who. but Mrs. Throckmorton declared
that she thinks it was Smith-called
the police reporting that there had
been a shooting.
Automobiles loaded with officers drew
UP in front of the apartment house. OF
which the Throckmortons are resident
managers. Because every one involved
refused to talk. other than to deny that
there had been any shooting, consld-
cradle mystery surrounded the affair.
AS matter of fact. Mrs. Throckmor-
ton asserted, no shots were fired. for
the very good reason that neither her
husband nor Smith was armed. You
can't do any shooting without gun,
she pointed out.
Trio Are Arrested.
The fact that Smiths head was cut
and his clothing spattered with blood,
however, made the officers decide to
place Smith, Throckmorton and Mrs.
Moore under arrest. They were taken
to the third precinct police station. where
they were at first listed as held for IN
vestigation." Searching the apartment,
the police found several guns, they re-
ported, but Throckmorton denied that
any of them had been used. This de-
NAL was repeated today by his wl1e.
After questioning Smith, Throckmorton
and Mrs. Moore for some time, the Of
ficers charged them with disorderly
conduct They were released on post
ing SIS collateral each, which was for
feited this morning in Police Court.
