sad and bitter. Jimmy-whom she'd
loved and promised to marry-her
own Jimmy-was false to her. just
like she had heard and read about
so often. She could never trust
man again, she knew. She'd have a
career, and men would be merely
the tools she would use She should
have listened to Myrtle long before
wise Myrtle, who told her that all
men were towards and liars and never
to be trusted
She had just been an innocent VIC
tim. But now she was a woman Of
the world. Shed show Jimmy!
She stepped out to the curb to
see il the bus was coming. It was not
yet in sight, but car drove by very
slowly, and looking man
leered out at her.
Have ride, baby?" he invited.
June shrank back against the
building quickly, But the man only
laughed and drove on.

SHE felt frightened now and lone
lier than ever. The tears came
to her eyes, and she fumbled in
her coa4 pocket for a handkerchief.
Her hand found small, square OBJ
Ject. She brought it out and held
1t to the light. Slowly, unbeliev-
ingly, she opened the little white
box and saw the sparkle of the dia-
mond. 1t was only a small, white
stone, but June didn't notice that.
She slipped it on her finger and
watched it glitter at her under the
street lamp. 1t fit exactly. 1t was
just the kind Of setting she liked
best. How carefully Jimmy must
have picked it out, how long he must
have saved to pay for it! The tears
spattered down her face, glistening
like whole rows of diamonds on her
cheeks.
She did not see the young man
standing across the street watch
ing her. She did not see him sprint
across the street toward her lust as
she sl2naled the bus. But in her
haste to get on it she stumbled up
the steps. Behind her a firm hand
grabbed her arm and steadied her.
AS the door closed she turned to f1nd
herself looking up at Jimmy. Her
face was still wet with tears
Then in front of two dozen pairs
OF curious and amused eyes she
threw her arms around Jimmy's
neck and cried into his collar: "Oh,
Jimmy. love you so! And I'm 50
ashamed! Will you ever forgive
me?"
Jimmy patted June's back, and the
bus driver patted Jimmys arm.
Two fares, please" he demanded,
gruf1ly.

And then coming here tonight
and telling me that you love me.
How can you lie like that? You're
a terrible, contemplate person, and
never want to see you again"
Jimmy, who was very young,
looked puzzled. But I do love you"
He tried to take her hand, but she
snatched it away "If you'll only
let me explain" he went on, pa
tiently. TITS so silly for us to act like
two children when can explain it all
SO easily"
Il suppose you're going to tell
me she was a girl from home your
Aunt Mary asked you to be nice to-
And that darling Aunt Mary even
sent you the money to pay for the
entertainment" The girl looked
scornful
Jimmy's face cleared with relief.
"Why, June, how did you know
that? And doesn't that make it all
right?"
80 I even guessed the story you
were going to tell me! How did I
know? Well, when Myrtle told me
she'd seen you she said you'd prob
ably tell me something like that.
Only that's such an old story that
only very stupid men would use
it." She shook her head angrily.
But she looked prettier than ever
with her flushed cheeks, flashing
eyes and dancing, dark curls.
She looked adorable, and Jimmy
sighed.
WOULDN'T believe everything
Myrtle tells you. I think she
must be a little cat. If she weren't
she wouldn't have come running
and telling tales and making some
thing terrible out Of nothing"
80 you think it's nothing-going
out with other girls and spending all
kinds Of money on them and then
lying to me about it. I'm just good
and glad that found out about you
before we got married"
Her soft, little mouth Strengthened
into = small, scarlet line as she
made her parting thrust And if
you'd ever given me that engage
ment ring you've been promising
for 20 long I'd throw it right in
your face. So there! And good-by-
forever!"
She jumped up, struggling to get
into her coat. Jimmy got up, too,
and tried clumsily to help her. She
looked around at him, impatiently.
But she didn't see that he had
stuffed his hand into his pocket and
taken It out again.
And don't follow me and start
explaining all over again. I'm going
straight home and l never want to
see YOU or talk to you again" She

 8: Allegations against Moderator McMahon of discrepancies" fail to develop.
 No New Election Point
 Most important to the present re- canvass under direction of Cor poration Counsel Charles 8. O'Con- nor for the moderator, and Attor- ney Richardson Bronson, for the seven Fusion candidates, is the find- ing that General Moderator Me- Mahon's reports fail to develop the point on which a new election might be sought, according to observers. The general moderator was directed, under the statute, to accept reports of moderators from the various dis- trictS.
 Thus, with Q vote here and there showing discrepancies between ma- chine readings and reports of these bipartisan moderators and check CTS in the 20 districts, all part of the general moderator's final tab. lation, 1t IS the understanding that Moderator McMahon could not be made defendant in any court ac- ton designed to obtain another election in Waterbury. This, of course, on the basis of the machines already re-canvassed.
 Anybody Can Guess
 Whether discrepancies sufficient to warrant further legal recourse by the Fusion candidates will be developed in the later check of the remaining machines, is seen as any, body's guess. However, with the premise of proof of newspaper tab- ulations through about @ quarter of the total of 64 machines, these with the latest return of the burned newspaper tabulations oh ec king bearing general moderator, 1t Is the gues sof many election officials that MT. McMahon will be found blame- less.

HOOVER HAS WON
 COMMITTEE OVER

(Continued from Page D new deal convention, including not only the Republican party but "la- Dor, agriculture, industry, the Am- erican Legion and practically all permanent phases of American life, young and old"
 Few committee members favored the Edge proposal, although w. S. Hallahan, West Virginia, said he could "see substantial merit in Sen- ator Edges proposal and am in fa- vor of blending" 1t with the Hoover plan.
 Labor Would Stay Away
 R. B. Creager of Texas thought the Edge plan Impractical" Neither the American Federation of Labor nor the Committee for Indus- trial Organization would officially participate" Creager said. "Agricul- ture is not organized and has no universally recognized leadership. The same Is true of industry. The American Legion consists of Repub. licans, Democrats, and others, 50 there is no possibility of 1t as an organization uniting on any pro- gram"
 Senator Daniel L. Hastings, Dela- ware national committeeman, said he favored both the Edge and Hoover proposals with c strictly Re- publican conference first which would decide the best method of holding @ later meeting to include others.
 East Don't Like Hoover
 Some eastern Republicans object vigorously to discussing the pro- posed convention as "Hoover,s plan"
 I'm in favor of the interim con- ventio1 if they will keep personali- ties out Of it," said Mrs. F. c. Tall- man, Delaware. They must take a stand on matters of policy and do some constructive work instead of merely attack the new deal. The interim convention is not MT. Hoov- CTS idea. Although I like MT. Hoov- CT personally, the people hate him."
 Miss ConSuelo Northrup, Vermont, said she believed 1t was "a mistake always to bring Up Hoover" H0Over'S Bid AS Boss
 Many Republicans saw in the con- vention proposal Mir. Hoover's bid to recapture the leadership of the party, although the former presi- dent made 1t plain in 8 speech in Boston, Mass, Wednesday that he seeks no public office. Failure of Gov. Ali M. Landon of Kansas, 1036 Republican presidential nominee, to endorse MT. Hoover's proposal lent credence to the belief that Mir. Hoover and Landon were struggling for control of the party.
 Several Republicans indicated support of the proposal of Mir. Hoover and Col. Frank Knox, 1036 vice-pregidential nominee, for the appointment of committee of dis tniguished Republicans" to formu- late "draft of fundamental prin- ciples" which would be submitted to the interim convention for approval.

 HaUe Been Examined

 While minor discrepancies" be- tween counters on the first seven machines, re-canvassed yesterday and the day before, and the mod erator's report, are claimed by those responsible for the current check, these discrepancies" appear be. tween one of the three "moderators reports" and the machines.
 There was the count rnadee lection night, the recount on demand of the defeated Fusion candidates, two days following the election, and the recapitulation of figures following @ recount from the machines dur. ing the present legal proceedings
 Third Recount
 The Democrat on Tuesday pub- lished a story (See page 2 of the issue fo Oct. 26) concerning the last, or third recount. This re- checking of figures from the ma chimes showed that the newspaper tabulations giving Mayor Frank Hayes reelection by 66 votes, City Sheriff Angelo Nardona reelection by one vote, is basis for the re- ports made in The Democrat con- corning the complete check of the machine figures with tho modera" tors report.
 Figures Are Same
 To date, the third set of figures, those used by The Democrat "un- officially" last Tuesday, have been shown to be the same as the read- ings on the seven machines from the 18th, 4th, 18th and 17th dis- tricts, 1t is learned from 8 reliable source.
 For the benefit of those interested In the current re-canvassing and who otherwise might be misled by the stories of "discrepancies", the brief story appearing in The Dem- ocrat last Tuesday is reprinted as follows:
 Story of Tuesday
 "Check of election figures made during the weekend in connection with recount of machine totals pro- vided by current court proceedings, shows that Mayor Frank Hayes was reelected by 55 votes, The Democrat learned today from 8 reliable source. This figure is 10 votes less than that arrived at in the "official" recount of General Moderator James R. Me- Mahon three days after the election, on October 8.
 "The Democrat tabulated Mayor Hayes majority over Senator George T. Culhane, Fusion candidate, at 67 votes on election night.
 Another Change
 Another change in the "offlciap figures was in the vote cast for city sheriff. The Democrat learned that a recapitulation of this vote shows that City Sheriff Angelo Nardona was reelected by one vote over Domenic Barbieri, Fusion candidate. The moderator's figures in the re- count, gave Nardona four votes over Barbieri.
 Tt Is understood that the moder- ator's returns for the vote pluralities in the other contests are virtually exact, that is, check with this latest recount in the battle developed by dispute of the seven Fusia1 candi- dates for re-canvass of the machines
 Election night The Democrat tab- ulated 19,l26 votes for Mayor Hayes, as against 14,390 Republican, 4,76O. Independent Democratic, @ total of 10,600 votes for Senator Culhane.
 For city sheriff, The Democrats totals showed 10,101 for Sheriff Nar- dona, as against 14,447 Republican, 1858 Independent Democratic, Q to- tai of 10,100 votes for Barbieri.
