Raleigh, July 29-North Cardinals
Labor Commissioner, Major A. L..
Fletcher, will be the South's repre-
sentative at conference in Wash
ington late in August, called by
Frances Perkins, U. S. secretary of
labor, and designed to work out de-
tails of uniform wage-hour law to
be proposed in various states.
Major Fletcher has already receiv-
ed an invitation to attend the con-
ference, at which a group of about
dozen will gather, from the secretary.
tte has announced his acceptance.
That he will be the only southern
representative is almost certain as
the group will contain only about half
q dozen state commissioners, and it is
hardly possible that the south will get
more than one representative.
Federal labor department officials
are known to regard North Carolina
as having the best labor laws of any
Southern state, and Miss Perkins un-
doubleday selected Major Fletcher for
that reason.
The major said that he will go to
the conference with an open mind on
the matter of a uniform State wage
hour law. He believes that such a
statute should follow as closely as
possible the recently-enacted federal

The Grocers pushed over a run IN

1t was a nip and tuck battle from

other, don't we?"
Thence once again he lapsed into
his professional manner, drew a
pad from a cubbyhole of his desk,
and wrote upon it rapidly. "Have
this filed. It will help you. It's
a mild tonic, nothing mOre." He
glanced toward. the door.
| Noel knew that she was being
dismissed, But it was hard to go.
Julian looked tired and worn, and
his bronzed face was thinner. She
couldn't even see the little incip-
lent dimple in his chin. But then,
of course, that only came out,
seemingly, when he smiled.
"You haven't been taking care
of yourself, Julian" she said sud-
denly.
II am tired" he admitted. "Got
to manage for a day in the coun-
| try before long. Of course we doc
tors don't have many days off,
Noel smiled with tender remi-
niscence, thinking of their day on
the river, when Julian had thrown
away his dignity and had behaved,
like happy boy. All of sudden,
she said impulsively, '1've missed
you, Julian"
His face seemed to harden, as If
he were struggling to put barrier
between them. THAT is flatter-
ing" he said, when you consider
the number of men paying you de-
voted homage"
"And that's unkind," Noel said
in low voice.
Julian looked contrite. TIN
sorry" he said, and added in a
voice that was not quite steady.
forgive me, my dear. Tina lit
tie overworked, suppose"
Noel managed a smile. "Of
course ! forgive. you" Then she
added, 81 would never have
thought of coming here had it not
been for Miss Chester. She made
me promise to go to a DOCTOR"
Julian's tired face relaxed in a
smile now. "She's determined
like that, one of the best nurses T
ever saw. Somehow she nearly al
ways manages to get her way
about things"
Noel had reached the door now,
SO he said goodby. She went out
with Julian's last words echoing
ominously in her mind.
So Ruth Chester had a manner Of
getting her way about things, did
she? Did that mean that she
would probably get Julian too, be-
cause she was determined to have
him?
When Noel reached home, there
was no change in Laurie. Ruth
Chester was consulting with Doc
tor Merridew, who was on the
point of leaving.
Remembering Laurie's pitiful
plea, Noel made another search for
some clue as to who Jimmy might
be. A sudden thought came.
Laurie's purse. She hadn't looked
in it. There might be a card or
picture or something.
In a few minutes Noel was eag-
erly searching through the few
things the purse contained. A
comb from a 1O-cent store. A
fresh handkerchief. Lipstick and
small cheap compact. Nothing
else.
Then Noel heard something
crackle against the lining in one
of the small compartments. She

door, o~i opened it with her head
held high.
These society DANES give me a
pain" the girl said, sliding deeper
into her chair. ''They think the
whole world must stop for them
And there's not a thing the matter
with her, either. She's just got a
crush on the doctor" Then she
gave a giggle. But he knows how
to get rid Of danes like her."
She was, Of course, talking to
the young man in the uniform, but
Noel couldn't very well help over
hearing. She soon found that the
girl was right. Only about two
seconds elapsed before the door
was opened again, and the air was
once more filed with perfume.
The woman's voice came heavily,
THANK you so much, doctor.
You're such a comfort. Now, are
you real sure you can't have din
ner with me tonight 2"
Noel heard Julian's voice cour-
teous but firm, declining the invi-
tation. The woman left the Office
with a flourish. The girl behind
the table, which did service as a
desk, called out Next, and man
got up and disappeared behind the
closed door.
At last it was Noel's turn. She
went in to find Julian bent over
his desk with his face between his
fingers. He said, not looking up,
Just minute, please"
Noel took a chair near his big
roll-top desk and waited. A min
ute or two passed, then Julian
turned around in his swivel chair
and faced her.
He drew a quick, sharp breath.
"Noe1" he exclaimed in surprise.
Then asked. Have you been i'll 2"
She shook her head. I'm never
i'll. Laurie is, however," she went
on, land your very efficient nurse
insisted that I see a doctor. She
didn't say for me to come to you.
In fact, she rather insisted that
see another doctor, Doctor
Archer, I believe, but well,
had my own IDEAS" she finished
with a little ghost of a smile. Then
she went on, some of the old bit
terness rising in her voice. "Of
course I know you have no respon-
sibility toward me now, but per-
haps professionally" her voice
broke, and she could not finish.
. '"That was not very kind, Noel"
Julian said. And added, I'm glad
you came to me. If you had not,

Then went on, "You do look tired,
Noel. Too much dancing and ex-
element, I'd say. shall prescribe

ut wouldn't do any earthly
good" Noel retorted.
You mean you wouldn't follow
my prescription"
Il certainly would not"
Il seem ID remember that you
are a very stubborn young lady,"
Julian said, his voice tense.
Suddenly Noel said unhappily,
Are we going to quarrel again,
Julian 2"
And Julian's voice came, briskly
professional, Certainly not. We
haven't time" Then he said in a
low voice, I'VE do seem to have a
