small smile. T don't think she'd fight" she said. But she might ask him what he thought 1t best to do."
 Thereby showing lot of sense for ribbon clerk" he an- swered. "Now the point is, what would he say?" He looked about him thoughtfully, and Linda felt strangely relieved. She wasn't afraid of him anymore.
 "If he were Q gentleman he wouldn't ask her to walk home. He would find shelter for her, and just because I'm director and not a prize-fighter doesn't mean that I can't do the same. What about these cabins2"
 "T1l take the one with the roses climbing over the door," Linda said with Q gaiety she did not feel.
 "We,re all out of roses, but would an orchid bush interest you2" he asked, leading her to the nearest of the broken-down cabins. With Q fiashlight, they studied it's exterior. It was not inviting. The windows were broken. Through the gapes that had been windows they saw the filth and debris within. Linda shivered and drew into the warm arms about her.
 "IIl sit in the car while you find two habitable cabins," she told him, dreading to be alone even in the car in that overwhelming blackness and freezing outdoors.
 He was gone 10 minutes and 1t seemed an hour.
 'There's only one," he report ed. with windows, hunks, fair amount of cleanliness and Q hearth. May I share it with you2"
 Somewhere in the outer dark ness a penetrating wall broke the silence while he waited for her ai1s- wer. Frightened, she drew close to him. "You may,' she said. "We'll stay up all night and talk about movies"
 T used to be a boy scout he said, among other nonsensical things, as he gathered twigs and started Q fire. It was cold in the cabin, but gradually 1t grew warmer and Linda's eyes grew heavy with want of sleep. They talked and talked. Later Linda couldn't remember what they talked about. She only knew she talked with kind of desperation to keep from wondering what would happen next, either with Thorne or with the people who would know that she spent the night with him. Tn Hollywood, it was no easier to explain such things than in Newtown.
 They were hungry, too, as the night wore on. The last thing Linda remembered before waking in the cold, dark dawn, was wish- ing she had some food.
 She stirred in her sleep because she was cold. Her muscles were stiff. Her crepe frock was rumpled and crushed. By the early, waver- ing light she saw that 1t was nearly 5 in the morning. She didn't re- member going to sleep, and opened her eyes wider and wider to find herself on blanket-covered wood- en bunk, her own coat thrown over her and Thorne's coat across her stockinged feet. Across the room in the grey light she could make out the lines of Thorne's sleeping figure. So she had gone to sleep and he had tucked her away; That was thoughtful, but then Linda

And now they were on the last lonely, bleak road that marked thC end of their Journey. Signposts the only marks of civilization marked the way to location of the Commonwealth company.
 And there they were. The engine coughed and sputtered. They werc there, but they were alonel There were cabins, but no light came from them. And 1t was bitter cold fir these mountains.
 "But I don't understand. ThC company was to be herep Linda cried to Thorne, bent over the oper h0d of the motor.
 Probably couldn't get out. That'l picture business, he answered from the motor depths.
 Linda looked at the cabins, shiv. cred and looked at Thorne.
 It wasn't only the night that made Linda shiver, though 1t was bitterly cold, penetrating even the warm softness of her coat. Looking ct the dark cabins and the figure oi Basil Thorne, bending over his mos tor, she shivered again.
 I'm horribly sorry," she said plucking at his sleeve. "I've made Q dreadful mistake. When I got home late tonight my maid told me there were telephone mes- sages but I was in such Q hurry to get out, I didn't look at them They must have told me there was . change of plans. I can't ten you how sorry I am about having you drive me so far to no purpose. As you said, they must have been unable to get here"
 Thorne was tinkering with some mechanical gadget. "I,m sorry, too, Linda. Sorry for you, because it looks as though we aren't going to be able to get out of here. This feed line Is discon- nected some way. don't know the first thing about engines or their makeup, but 1t doesn't look to me as though could do any, thing about it."
 Linda was getting 6 little desper- ate. "Basil, we've got to get out We can't stay here all nightl"
 He lowered the hood and looked about him. Tt might have been worse. At least there are cabins" He shivered. "Sure is cold in these mountains at night.
 @Cant you do something?" she pleaded. Cant you tie something up somewhere, 50 that we can get back to Hemet?"
 He turned his coat collar up and shrugged his massive shoul- ders. His smile was properly rue- ful.
 ',Not Q thing with the car. I'm afraid. We might walk, but 4 must be nearly 30 miles to the last house, and there are noun- tain lions in these parts" He hadn't the least idea whether there were or not, and Linda didn't know. The cold was mak- ing her bones ache and the morn- ing seemed very far away, indeed.
 The company will be out ir the morning he said.
 Linda's quick glance showed him that he hadn't helped much by that remark.
 He drew her toward him in a kind, big brotherly embrace. "What would little ribbon clerk do if she found herself in Q situation like thiS with c prize -fighter?" he asked.

realized that the new day vas on It's way.
 That would mean that her com pany would soon arrive. And find her there. sharing . cabin with Basil Thornel
 She couldn't be found thereI Their motor was out of order and Thorne had told her 1t was 3C miles back Co the last house. Linda threw aside the coats and stepped out gIngerly on the rough, cold floor. Through the windows shC sew the sky getting lighter. Better for her to be lost, not tc appear with the company than tc try to explain her appearance tn. der the circumstances. But could she get out alonel The roads, even in daylight, were unfamiliar.
 She slipped into her shoes and approached Thorne. Shaking him, she cried, "Basil, please wake up It's nearly s. We've got to get back. We would never be able to explain"
 And when he was awake and had shaken the sleep from his eyes, he looked about him. Don't be stu- pid, my dear. Of course, we can explain. That's the only thing wC can do. We can't get out of here without Q car. Let's get . little more sleep and we'll talk about 4 later"
 He closed his eyes and drew the soiled blanket closer to his chin. Silently Linda watched him for a moment, and then, putt ting on her coat and tucking her hair under her hat, she opened the door softly and made her way out to the road. She thought she might have cried if she hadn't been angry.
 Linda may have walked two miles; she thought 1t must have been 20. The thins oles of her shoes were small protection against the hard road. The early morning air blew in icy swirls against her, and her lips needed the soothing oil of lipstick. She hadn't the least idea wher she was headed for or what would happen when sch made an arrival, and she didn't care.
 And then she heard the roar of Q motor. and Thorne's white car sped down the road toward her.
 "A stroke of luck" he said, coming to stop. Found @ piece of wire and tied her up. Climb aboard, Princess"
 Linda was too tired, upset and hungry to answer that or any- thing else he said to her, but when they were nearing Q town she turn. ed to him.
 "Basil, I want to ask you one great favor. Please, will you turn of the main road and please, as long as you live, will you promise me never to tell one living soul about last r1ight?"
 He laughed. "What a child you arel Of course you have no need to worry. It was quite innocent. Now, I have favor to ask of you. Will you marry 1ne2"
 Marry youl" Linda looked at him in surprise. She didn't like looking at him. His eyes were blurred and bleary. His beard was dark on his red cheeks. She suppressed Q faint shudder of disgust.
 "Thanks awfully for doing the decent thing. I'm afraid can't" she answered, and didn't see the swift anger that flooded his cheeks with red.

NEW YORK-This years Labor Day will
find a large group Of organized workers embark
ed the most important attempt labor has
yet made 70 organize and WELD its political
power.
The American Labor Party will have col
umn on the ballot in New York state. From
several angles It Is one Of the most interesting
factors IN the national campaign.
The ALP leaders seek 20 get out big vote for
Roosevelt and Governor Lehman in New York's
industrial centerS. The two men are the partys
official candidates on the ballot. (ALP is part
OF labor's Non-Partisan League which functions
elsewhere for Roosevelt without forming po-
htical party
whether It is practical now 10 form a national
labor party In the United States. The leaders
privately say that's why they created IT,
Most Roosevelt voters will mark their crosses
in the Democratic column. But If enough of
them take the trouose 10 sign up under the
clasped-hsnds emblem Of ALP, some of the
ablest and strongest leaders In America will
feel justified in spreading the party into the
other states. They believe they can quickly find
strong nuclei in the industrial east. Wisconsin,
Minnesota, and the Pacific Coast. The test
In New York state will cost more than 100000.
Finally, large part OF whatever credit the
Alp gets will have 70 90 to a woman-Mrs.
Gilmore NJ. Herrek, the new party's state cam
paign director. Mrs. Herrick is a person who
always goes places when she starts.

social forces headed by Gov. ALI NJ. Landon

of course, are the driving forces behind ALP
