AS soon as Susan arrived with

mind TO say nothing to Stone about
her purchase of the plantation until
she had received definite word from
her brother and had sent the first pay.
ment to him. She was exasperated by
Bill-Lee's procrastination. although she
recognized Il as characteristic. But
she could not be content until the
deeds of the property were formally
made over to her. When the house
party assembled she was still awaiting
definite word from Bill.
An innocuous young couple, the
Gardeners. from Boston. had arrived
with Eve Goodhue under their wing,
and one morning they were all In rid

''Is one for me?" Sniff asked with
unconcealed eagerness. Bill-Lee might
have telegraphed in a sudden spasm
of conscience.
Stone picked them up and shook his
head at her.
Both for me- You'll allow me?" he
added to Susan to whom he had hap
pened TO be talking.

ogy," she said, ITO me they seem to

"At least that one doesn't" He hand
ed it over to her.
''My dear, can't read 1t without
my glasses. Tell me what it says"
"Just that two fellows | knew well
in England have landed and will join
us today"
"And the other telegram"
Stone read it and it was plain that
it's contents pleased him.
''That is even better news" he de-
clared, "but for the present 1t is a
secret"
"Who are the men, Mr.. Nesbit?"
Pam asked.
Zone is Sir Gregory Dunn, who went
to Elton with me though he is consid-
erably my Junior. The other is Paddy.
the young brother of my best friend.
a fine fellow. He has resigned from
the army and is coming over here to
buy a place. I'm hoping to find a
plantation for him near me-
"What Is his name besides Pad
dy?" Pam asked idly. This man who
was expected was plainly English. She
had made up her mind that she did not
care for the English.
His name isn't Paddy at all. That's
merely nickname. It's Miles. Cap
tain John Miles,"
"But we know hint" cried Eve.
"You remember, Pam? He was one
Of the ushers at Cintra's wedding. We
liked him lots"
"He is an Irishman who wants to
make his home in America and be-
come a citizen here. In fact | sus-
pect an American love-affair is one of
the principal inducements" said
Stone.
''That is jolly" Pam said heartily.
Hes the type of immigrant we don't
often get. He'll be very popular down
here; and the girls aren't the only
ones who liked him, Stone. I'll be
awfully glad to see him again."

The print to the right is that glori-
ously colorful a mere word picture
cannot do it Justice, and when one
stops to think that this print will wash
like new, what more is there to be
desired In the way Of perfect print?
The filmy white organdie roll-edged
petal collar and cuffs add the climax
ing touch. The self-fabric stitched belt
drawn through gay colored ring Is
worth noting.
There is a modest beauty about the
spring posies with their delicate ten
drills so gracefully windswept In the
print to the left which will carry espe-
cial appeal to the woman of discrimi-
mating taste. In any Of its color COM
binations this print is charming, but
in navy with a strain Of lighter blue
running throughout, together with flut-
terry white spring posies splotched with
fresh light green, 1t is irresistible.
The ankle-length frock with contrast
ing fitted jacket admirably solves the
problem of what to wear for semi-for-
NAL occasions. Worn with its jacket Of
solid color you have the feeling of
being correctly attired most any hour
of the day. Remove the jacket and
the dress goes just formal enough to
tune in to most any afternoon occa-

cunning wee puff sleeves. The piquant
little velvet tie about the throat is
reminiscent of the gay nineties." The

Susan was an observant as well as
devoted mother and when she had so
readily Cancelled the plans for PANS
presentation she had done so because
she suspected that something serious
had occurred to make her daughter
take so positive and unexpected a
stand. In some way, Captain Miles
was connected with PANS refusal to
go abroad

and his friend Gregory completed the
party which quickly fused into we'll

negatively, feeling the news unwelcome

This was not welcome news to her.

Legally, should she refuse to accept IT,

With a murmur of letters to write

Forrest, where the gang is alleged
to have made its headquarters
while working in Virginia.
The club has been closed for
the summer, and only two colored
men were there when the men
entered with drawn guns and
ordered them out.
Bombs were planted and the
masked men fled. A few minutes
later there was terrific ex-
plosion and the place went up IN
flames.
The bombing, coming only a few
hours before Robert Mais and Will

erous members of the gang, were

been the work of other CRIMINALS
to warn off witnesses.
Seen AS Warning
Arthur Misunas, another mem
ber of the gang, is being held IN
Richmond, and it is understood ne
is to turn States evidence and
testify against Mais and Davis,
with the State agreeing to give
him life sentence instead OF the
electric chair for his part in the
robbery in which EWell M. Huband,
Federal Reserve Bank truck driver
was shot and killed by the gang
sters.
The bombing, it is believed,
might have been intended as a
warning to Misunas to "clam up"
or be the victim of underworld
vengeance.
When the trial was called in
Richmond, shortly after the accl-
dent on the highway, the defense
asked for a continuance.
This was opposed by the pros
ecution, but Judge John L. In,
gram allowed a continuance OF
one week in order that the de-
fenSe might summon witnesses.
1t was Judge Ingram who last
week accepted Misunas' plea OF
guilty and ordered him held
until the trial of Mais and Davis
was over.

G.NS0.-Strike leaders, in con-
ference with Federal mediators,
early today rejected a new peace
proposal designed to end the truck
drivers strike.
Hopes for peace were running
high when the strike leaders went
into conference shortly before
midnight with the Federal concili-
ators, Father Francis j. Haas and
E. H. Dunnigan.
Emerging from the conference
early this orning, Vincent
Dunno, one of the strike leaders,
declared:
"The language regarding the
question of rehiring strikers
was toned down a bit but the
attitude of the employers on
that point was essentially the
same"
He indicated the question of
rehiring of strikers was the chief
stumbling block in the way OF
peace. The employers do not
want to take back men who
played a conspicuous part in the
strike or who were involved in

into the rate of depreciation; it
is going to look into the 10-cent
rate for local calls charged by
some hotels, and will investigate
the justice of the telephone COM
pany's habit of making a COM
paratively heavy charge for con-
Meeting and disconnecting tele-
phone service in houses.
OF more than usual interest
and Importance is the investiga-
ton of the telephone depreciation
rate. A hearing is scheduled on
this in October and will attract
an impressive gathering of legal
and engineering experts of the
Bell system.
The phone company sets a sum
now equal to about SO a year per
telephone subscriber for a depre-
cation fund, with which to re-
place the plant as it wears out.
This has always been held
sacred by the telephone company,
while utility commissions here and
elsewhere have tried to take over
jurisdiction as to prescribing the
amount that could thus be set
aside and used for a depreciation
fund.
But owing to quirk in the law
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion had the power to set depreci-
alton rates, although actually the
commission never exercised this
power directly. The telephone
company set its own rate and the
I. C. C. merely acquiesced. But it
has been one of the most jealous
ly guarded prerogatiVes of the en-
tire Bell system.
Power Transferred
The Federal Communications
Commission has now been given
the I. C. C.'s former Jurisdiction
over telephone companies, and
the Public Utilities Commission is
endeavoring to work with the Fed
eral body.
In addition to this change in
the Federal field, Judge Adkins
of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia has decided that
the Public Utilities Commission
has the right to set and prescribe
the rates of depreciation.
The commission looks upon this
as tremendous grant of power,
and members of the commission
are quick to assert that they will
use this power just as soon as the
commission rea aches the point
where the facts justify action.
1t will be the first time the COM
mission has ever been able to
touch that huge sum of money
the telephone company guards so
closely, built up out of SO year
from every subscriber.
