Luther walked across the barn floor
and with mighty push of his long arm
swung the door wide enough for Anabel
to slip through.
go if you want to-" he said. eff you
think what you say, you haven't any
right to live with me. I'll send you
money to live on. You stay till you feel
different about me-"
"I'n never feel any different" retorted
Anabel, "and I'll never take cent of
your money; save it for your old quarry!"
blinded in the moonlight, though before
her eyes still hung Luther's face. She
heard the train whistle in the distance.
It had passed the flag stop. There wasn't
another train till morning. Oh, well,
she'd have to walk. There was nothing,
nothing at all, to be afraid of.
Once she looked back. In the barn
door, black against the radiance of the
lantern swinging above his head, still
stood Luther, motionless.
On she went, keeping in the middle Of
the road. Not that she was afraid! Oh,
no! It was just so unbelievable that
this was she, Anabel Lee, running
through the night, alone and unloved.
THERE was sudden ringing of hoofs
behind her. She stepped quickly
into the shadows. But Luther had seen
her.
Get in" he said quite casually. Fire
fly won't stand, or I'd help you."
Only for second did Anabel hesitate.
After all, she had to get to Uncle Abner's
house tonight. She wouldn't sleep at
Luther's, and it was absurd, come to
think Of it, to attempt to walk the IL
miles over the mountain. She climbed
up wordlessly.
The moon rose higher and hung over
them, ogle-eyed, mocking her shame. To
have to be helped like this in running
away from her husband!
At last, when they emerged from the
gloom of the elms into the open road,
Luther spoke.
"It was something pretty awful you
said about me, Anabel. Thought at first
I couldn't ever forgive you, but If you
love woman enough you'll forgive any,
thing, guess"
'Love!" cried Anabel That's all the
trouble. If you'd loved me the way 7
did you-"
Luther'S left arm reached out to her,
then almost at once both hands gripped
the reins again.
"You needn't be scared, Anabel," he
cautioned. a curiously exulting note vi

home flying. I understand now what
it's all been about"
The young horse wheeled on slim hind
legs. Anabel, clutched close to Luther's
side, essayed to speak, and could not
not until they neared the barn and the
young horse went stepping daintily over
the threshold.
"You-you left the door wide open,
Luther! Old BeSs-"
ITO be sure" laughed Luther. 'I knew
we'd be back before the creature could
catch cold. What do you think I mar
ried you for" he continued irrelevantly,
"if I didn't love you, seeing that I knew
all along your Uncle Abner was going to
leave his money to that fool nephew?

wanted you then, but I'd sort of got
tied up with Cora. Cora opened my eyes
herself. She wasn't kind to creatures,
ran her horse to death, hunting, and
then you were so good to mother"
"Oh, Luther" began Anabel, feel
ing very small and foolish.

BUS
HEARING SET

Hearing on a proposal of the
Capital Transit Company to aban-
don it's line to Rockville has been
set for next Thursday, following a
postponement yesterday at the
county commissioners Suboffice
in Bethesda.
Reason for the postponement
was given as absence of the dele
gates representing the State road
commission, who were engaged in
a conference on PWA work.
Meanwhile, protests from citi'
zens that having to pay higher
fares, which would be required if
buses alone were their means of
transportation, would be a hard
ship, continued to be voiced.
Representatives of the County
Commissioners, the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, the State Roads Com
mission, and the Transit Com
pany, will appear at the hearing,
Thursday.
The Rockville spur of the Tran
sit Company is one of two left of
lengthy trolley lines which once
ran from the city to several nearby
communities. Bus service has re-
placed several others.

AROUSED
BY OPEN-SHOP
THREATS
PIastering Contractors Edict
Likely to Lead to Strike
Of All Allied Trades

Washington's muddled labor
situation became further compli-
Gated today with the disclosure
that several plastering contrac-
tors hiring union labor are con-
templating "open shop" policies.
The plastering contractors and
their employees were in session to-
day in an attempt to bring about
an amicable termination Of the
plaSterers' strike, which has tied
up work on many Government
buildings since May S. The plas-
terers are striking for $1.75 an
hour and 30-hour week.
Deadlock Looms
Before initiation of the con-
ference a check-up revealed that
the contractors will refuse to pay
the wage demand Of their en-
ployeS. Union leaders also were
adamant in their resolve to hold
out for their demands.
There are about 375 union plas-
tererS in the District. About 100
Of these would go back to work
if the strike is called off today,
there being insufficient work to
absorb the residue.
With a deadlock between the
disputing parties forecast by
spokesman for both sides, posi-
bility of an early settlement of
the strike appeared remote. With
this in view, several of the con-
tractors today threatened to de-
clare an open shop" since, they
asserted, they are losing hundreds
of dollars each day of the strike.
Would Bring Strike
An "open shop" for plasterers
on any building project would re-
suit in general strike of all build
ing trades on that particular job.
The plasterers' union is member
in good standing Of the Washing
ton Building Trades Council, and
it is a certainty that the council
would throw its full support in
back of the plasteters' trouble
with their employers.
Carpenters were waiting today
a decision from the Labor Board
of Review regarding the payment
Of $1.10 an hour for carpenters on
PWA projects, the wage scale de-:
handing by the contractors. The
carpenters in other projects here
are receiving $1.25 an hour.
Secretary of the Interior Ickes
said yesterday he would be glad
to offer his services in the new dis
pute, but that a decision from the
Labor Board of Review should be
handed down first.

The old school-day doggerel
could be used today as a classifi-
cation for the wide variety of men
and women on the District relief
rolls, according to the first COM
plete analysis of expenditures Of
Federal relief money in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Mr.. Street Reports
A report on this subject was
made today by Elwood Street, Di-
rector of Public Welfare.
The report showed that in May
$676,757 was spent for relief pur-
poses in this city among 1898
families and 4,059 single men and
women; that the average cash
given as direct relief was $16.86
per case; that when needy per-
sons worked for their relief the
average each earned in May, was
about $38; and that the average
lover all was about a dollar a
day.
OF the approximately $4,000
cases on relief, nearly 1000 did
not receive money, but got ser
vices, such as medical treatment.
Nurses, Teachers Helped
A cross-section Of the classes Of
people on relief for May was
made up out of 1886 cases, show
ing 939 skilled and unSkilled labor
ers, 200 servants, 100 clerical work
erS.
There were eight trained nurses,
six teachers, two lawyers, one ar
fist, one pharmacist, one physician
on the list.
There were "chiselers," too, for
the report speaks Of 628 cases
turned down by the board, Of
which q full third were either in
receipt Of sufficient income or
could not furnish proof Of their
distress. l'%

SITE PURCHASE
FACES DELAY

Further delay occurred today
in the commissioners efforts to
buy land for the proposed Jeffer-
son Junior High School in the
block at Seventh and Eighth, H
and I SITS. S. w., when George
E. Sullivan, attorney for the
owners of the land in question,
informed the board that he would
accept no less than 100000 for
the entire site1 but would take
$105,00O for a part Of the land
Originally the Commissioners bar
gained for the whole site at
$150,000, but Congress appro-
priated only $105,000. Meantime
the property owners increased the
price.
Commissioner HAGEN indicated
today he would ask for a legal
decision as to whether the APP
preparation act permits the Com
missionerS to buy a part of the
site wanted.

Attempting to follow that
adage cost him just SO or 10
days in jail today, following his
plea of guilty to violation Of the

George approached a number

gested that he act as guide to

customers.
Board Surprised
The action of the Commission
erS today came as a surprise to
the A. B. C. Board, which had
confidently expected that its rec.
ommendation would be approved.
The members, however, had not
counted on the strong disapproval
which came from higher-ups in
the Administration, but which was
relayed to the District Building
through Commissioner Allen.
In addition to keeping up the
screens, the Commissioners, in eff
feet, passed the buck" on the Ia.
koma Park wet and dry row right
back to the A. B. C. Board.
Yesterday the board reported to
the Commissioners that Takoma
Park stood about 1920 to $50
against liquor stores, and wanted
to remain a dry area.
The A. B. c. Board took the posi-.
ton that it had no power to es-
tablish dry areas, and asked the
Commissioners to decide.
Today the Commissioners said
they would not create any dry
areas, and told the A. B. C. Board
to decide every application for a
liquor license in Takoma solely on
its merits.
Twelve Applications
There are approximately IL ap-
plications for liquor licenses Of
ali kinds pending in Takoma
Park, which is the area from
which the most vigorous pro-
tests against taverns, beer parlorS
and liquor stores have been re-
ceived.
The fact that each one of
these applications must now be
reviewed on its merits causes
A. B. c. Board members to ex-
pect active fights pro and con in
the case of each one.
Another decision today by the
Commissioners extends the hours
of sale for "off sale" licenses to
IL o'clock. At present liquor
stores have to close at 10 p. m.
