unionism is not in any sense a pri-
vate or technical fight. The issue
involves vast numbers of citizens
who at the moment have only the
slightest inkling of what it is all
about. But it touches them for all
that, because If John L. Lewis wins
his fight trade unionis,n n the
United States will double or triple
its membership within a years
time.
This, of course, IS statement of
opinion, but it is difficult to deny
the assertion that the enlistment of

The irony of the situation was lost neither on Jimmy nor on Slade as they faced each other tensely, across Slade's desk. In the office next door, they both knew, Tom Moulton sat, mulling late over business papers probably, and just as probably letting his mind drift now and again to that problem which had wrinkled his fine brow with perplexity for months past the problem of his ward, Mary,
 Jimmy and Shade were concerned with the problem of Mary, too. But with something of a difference. Jimmy's fingers closed tightly around the heavy handle of his walking stick, where 1t rested next his chair, as he said to Slade:
 You know damn well I can't pay the money, Slade. When you advanced it to me you said needn't even think of repayment for several years"
 Slade smiled, not pleasantly. "Of course," he said. But you see, I'm rather hard-pressed just now; I couldn't foresee that when I made the loan."
 He smirked at Jimmy's drowning face.
 Looking back" said Jimmy tits
 so easy to see what your game was. I was fool not to have seen 1t sooner. You were so generous with your market tips; so confi- dent that things would work out all right; so willing to help me out as you called it--which meant plunging me further and further into debt. I should have known your motive, Slade. Anyone who knows you at all should guess that the bias of your temperament is not toward charity. But it never occurred to me to connect Mary with your schemes"
 Jimmy stared at him sullenly.
 Something of Slade's smirk came back. "I'll play the sport, Jimmy" he said. "I'll call the debt square and give you $1,000 to get out of the country. That's not hard to take, eh?"
 The sullenness in Jimmy's face deepened. "I get it," he said. "I leave the country-under a cloud, of course-leaving you a clear field with Mary, to tell her what you please about me, to persuade her to marry you and forget about me-"
 "Very well stated" Slade said, allowing for your biased view of the facts. How do you like it? Your alternative, of course, is to stay in the country and face certain dis grace from the unpleasant publicity which I shall make it my business to secure for you."
 And what" Jimmy asked, makes you 50 sure that your plan will work perfectly in all its de- tails? I mean, supposing for the moment that you have listed all the alternatives for me-what of Mary? You're quite confident she will marry you?"
 slade nodded toward Moulton's office. "With the help of our friend there," he said, "I think I can manage. He doesn't like you, you know.
 "The news of your scandalous speculation" Slade went on, twill confirm his opinion of you. He thinks you're young and reckless"
 Hes no graybeard himself" Jimmy replied.
 "He's thirty-five," Slade said. "And the responsibilities of guard ianship make him feel older. He was fond of Mary's father. He won't let her make a mistake in marriage. He won't, in short, let her marry young scoundrel."
 "Nor an old one," said Jimmy. "Apart from your years, what have you to recommend yourself as the ideal suitor? don't think Moulton likes you any better than he likes me-"

 HER GUARDIAN Two Men Fought Over Girl in One Office; In

Slade smiled happily. ''Tve req son to think otherwise" he said. T talked with him the other day about Mary. Told him thought an older man would be better for her than a young one. He seemed quite impressed and said h0 thought so himself. He spoke Of you = rather vindictively, I thought"
 Jimmy was silent for moment. You seem," he said pointediy, "tO consider me enough of a threat to make it worth your while getting me out of the way"
 "Yes," said Slade darkly, "I dO.s' He shuffled his papers again and went on very rapidly, "We've list- ed the alternatives. Have you made your choice?"
 Jimmy got slowly to his feet. The walking stick was stili in his hand. "We haven't listed all the alternatives, Slade," he said.
 Slade saw the motion of his arm. He started to rise from his chaiE had not even time to cry out before the blow fell: The walk. ing-stick dropped from Jimmy's hand to the soft carpet; Siade's body crumpled forward out of the chair.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-09-24

Jimmy stood very still, watch ing the inert form and the crimson circle widening on the dark carpet. He heard a door close out in the corridor. His hands trembled; Moulton was coming. It could be no other.
 If he could stall him-if he could keep him from seeing what was behind the desk-he'd gain time anyway, to clear the town, to find a hideout. He perched, him self on the desk, facing the door, trying to be casual. All this thought and action had been accomplished within seconds. The door opened. 1t was Moult0n.
 "H-hello," said Jimmy weak ly.
 Moulton did not return the salu- tation. "Slade here?" he asked. To Jimmy he looked very impressive in the doorway-a handsome, rather austere, thirty-five. 'Slade's gone," said Jimmy. It was characteristic of Moulton's re- serve that he did not ask why Jim my should be here, alone in Shades office. He turned to go. Then he stopped and spoke.
 "I might as well tell you what came to tell limit should inter- est you, too."
 "Yes?" Jimmy asked, barely keeping the quaver from his voice.
 T think you should know that Mary and were married this morning. My position as guardian made me diffident for long time. But I love her, and-she loves me: It took us a long time to find 1t out. That's all. Will you tell him." Moulton went out.
 Jimmy sat staring at the door with vacant eyes.

Officer Discovers Fire


The fire was discovered about 80
O'Clock Monday morning in the Pal
ace Theatre building by Night Police
Officer ]. Priestly jackson, who
spied the flames through the win
dow in the section of the theatre
near the projection booth. The Off
Ger said he had passed by the thea
tire about fifteen minutes before and
hadn't seen any ire.
Mr., Ayers, who operates the thea
ire, believes that the fire was caus-
ed by short circuit and had prob
ably been smOuldering for some
time before it got u start. He said
he thought he detected the OdOr Of
smoke late last Saturday night when
closing up, but upon making a
search could find no signs of fire.
Aid From Laurel, BTidgeVille
The Seaford and Blades firemen
quickly realized that the fire had
gained such headway in the theatre
building that it would be impossible
for them to cope with the situation,
in that the building is located at
High and Market streets in the con-

A call for assistance was sent to
BIidgevllle and Laurel. Companies
from both of the towns Joined the
tiremen in fighting the flames.
In the excitement, the family Of
Mr.. Todd and four or five Occu-
pants of the rooms on the second
floor, were forced to leave their be-
lOngings in the apartment, due to-
the smoke that filled the building
before the flames finally spread. Mr..
Wright was missed after the other
occupants got out. Firemen rushed
into the smoke filled apartment and
led him out.
All of the occupants of the apart
lnent were given shelter in the Sus-
sex Hotel across the street from the
theatre.
Theatre Rebuilt Two Years Ago
The Palace Theatre was practical
ly rebuilt and reCquipped about two
years ago and was considered one OF
the finest theatre properties in Del
aware, south OF Wilmington. The
Todd building also was in practical
ly as good condition as it was when
it was built. Several fine residential
