when Stephen and the agent
entered the house. The little
social event had passed off in
all correctness.
He was certain Of the success
of the venture, when at the end
Of the call Liu had invited them
to feast with him.
Hester felt shy, going into
the great bare restaurant filled
with men, where the feast of
Liu was held. In the short dis
lance to the stairway, almost as
straight up as a ladder, she felt
the eyes of all upon her, Step
hen knew that Chinese ladies
do not go out publicity with
their husbands, but he walked
proudly beside Hester to show
how he honored her, not real
izing that in exposing her to
their gaze, like a Sing-Song girl,
he had given the men cause to
believe that he held her lightly.
Nor did he realize that Liu be.
lieved her to be a favorite con.
cubine; only such women did q
man display. Had not Stephen
gone out of his way to let Lu
see her?
To the second feast, the agent
brought his wife, so he said.
In reality she was a concubine.
Liu was secretly pleased that
Stephen had made it possible to
bring her to the feast.
There were sing-song girls
that evening, who came through
the door back of Hester, mine
ing round the table on their
bound feet, leaning over the
mems shoulders, pouring out
their wine.
THE agent certainly spared
no pains this evening. evidently
wants to be friendly" said
Stephen when they were at
home again. I'VE must invite
him and his wife here to our
house."
But before Stephen arranged
this, Liu had invited them to q
third feast. On the afternoon
of the day, the merchant called
on a matter of business. In
their long conversation, the
question of leakage came up
and Stephen gathered, he did
not know how, so adroitly did
Liu convey his meaning, that if
he would falsify the amount of
the leakage, the profits might
be divided. He was angry and
CURLY refused. Too CURLY, he
realized after he had spoken.
Fortunately, the agent accepted
his defeat gracefully, bowling
himself out, clasping his own
hands according to the best
Chinese custom.
THE most miserable one will
call in person for the honor.

the hour for the feast"
That hour passed and a sec
ond. "Liu'S evidently been de-
tanned and thinks it wouldn't
be polite to send anyone else.
Time doesn't mean anything to
them" Stephen explained for
the hundredth time to Hester.

thing" was Hester'S answer,

:: Excitedly Liu demanded that
Stephen reduce the price again,
."'to meet Blodgett," So Blod-
gett had cut without telling
him. At once Stephen saw the
plan. Blodgett had waited
until Saturday to drop prices
below those Of the Company,
knowing that Stephen could
not follow without the con-
sent of his organization, and
that Saturday noon was too
late to get it. But he'd be
ready for him next weekend.
He wrote the boss, asking
that he be allowed, up to
certain limit, to use his own
judgment about the price cut,
both as to amount and to
time. That the boss would
have to take up the matter
with the Shanghai office,
stephen knew. All the week
he waited. Early Saturday
morning the telegram came,
authorizing him to follow
lBlodgett's price drop of the
previous week. Stephen was
disappointed and Inundated,
for all the week he had been
soothing the irate agent by the
promise Of meeting the cut.
He thought of little else; he
talked of little else, especially
over the weekend when his Of
flee was closed.
Lets sleep late" said Hester
on the third Sunday, then
we shan't have so much time

But Stephen woke earlier
than usual. He had been doz-

matter aroused him. He woke
Hester before he thought.

I'm held responsible for the

down to nothing, shall I lose
my job?"
p, Now Hester was wide awake,
,'''Why, Stephen, what would
we do?"
{, I'm a brute to worry you,"
he said, and put forth all his
efforts to reassure her.
- At last the greater resources
oof the big corporation wore

think again of friendship with
the Chinese.

TOLEDO, Ohio. May 1S.-Toledo'a
small but far.reachins automotive
strike entered q new phase today aa
the union prepared to vote on terms
Of q proposed settlement which were
reached over the week end.
A question Of whether the Toledo
unit Of the United Automobile Work.
ers' Federal Union would follow the
recommendations Of Francis j. Dillon,
American Federation Of Labor or
ganizer, became the latest problem.
The union will vote tonight.
Dillon. who has taken an active
part in negotiations here since the
strike at the Toledo Chevrolet plant
began, April 23, issued q statement
late last night in which he criticized
"those who presume, without au-
thority. to speak in the interest OF
the workers"
The labor leader said III we fail In
our efforts 1t will be because EN-
ployers refuse to see and the workers
refuse to appreciate our counsel and
advice"
Wage Increase Sought.
Edward F. McGrady, Assistant Sec
retary Of Labor, said the details OF
the latest peace proposal will not be
given out until submitted to the union
tonight.
The union asked wage increases OF
5 cents an hour, q minimum wage Of
10 cents an hour and changes in
working conditions. The company's
counter proposals, including O blanket
per cent wage increase, were re-
jected by the workers last Wednesday.
While the latest peace proposals
were being perfected here, Donald
Richberg, N. r. A. administrator, and
officials of General Motors conferred

Neither he nor Alfred P. Sloan, presi-
dent of General Motors, was available

Soon after production ceased nearly
three weeks ago at the Toledo plant,
which made transmissions, other fac
tories supplying bodies and parts for
Chevrolet were forced to suspend ope-
rations. More than 10000 men were
