started for the bridge.
"Reatha. this may hurt now but
its hest"
please she implored him, Il
don't want to talk about IT,
Just when she thought life for
them would be smooth and happy
il suddenly became more compli-
Gated. She had lost Eric and ire
main was too severe for cool think
ing che only wanted TO be let alone
In her disappointment.
The DAYS that followed we're mis-
cradle ones for Reatha. She missed
Eric. He had become so necessary
in her life that now without him
the hospital became a tomb. she
missed the tense excitement when
she met him Unexpectedly In the
halls or wards. Their daily chats,
together with Pete had been a Joy
Gus adventure. However, the
work al Belmont represented hap
nv hours, now the days were too
long. the nights were endless and
Reatha's face grew wan from the
effort she was making to keep GO

Eric was now superintendent Of

white papers considered him good
copy. His picture looked out at
Reatha from the pages OF the lead
ing sewspapers. He was interview
ed by reporters. AS Cora put II
"Our Black Ace seems 10 he going
places. can see now why he
played sucker for DR.. Wade. They
were doing an exchange in log roll
ing"
Reatha was miserable. yet she
took pride in the knowledge that
she had had the strength to give
Eric up for the good OF the great
est number. In his disappointment
Eric had momentarily forgotten his
own ideals OF what constituted real
love. They agreed on former &C
casions that real love scorned sell
fishness. 1t had TO be big and fine
TO survive LIES vicissitude.
Another worry came to torment
Reatha. II was Pete. Sincs Eric's
departure from Belmont Petes con-
dition took bad turn. Al first
Reatha attributed II TO Pete's petu-
lence when he found out that DR.
Sherman would he his doctor. And
Pete for some unaccountable rea-
son detested DR.. Sherman. II had
been a Joke in the hospital but now
Il took a more serious turn. An
xiously Reatha studied Pete's chart
Daily his condition grew worse
One day as Reatha stood by MS
bed. rubbing his restless hands, he
said
Gee whIzz nurse. when Is doc
coming? ! want him to look at my
leg. II hurts"
"Now Pete, DR.. Sherman will b
here soon"
"But ! don't want him. l want

"Not now Pete, please try to b
good boy and let DR.. Sherman
look at your leg"
Pete din't answer, Just shrugged
his shoulders and closed his eyes

him.
He continued 10 get worse. His
temperature grew higher at al
alarming rate. More x-rays were
taken with the result that a hurried
call was sent 20 Mrs. Ciano. Pcte''

of failing TO keep faith with labor
He expressed the belief that RooSe-
welt probably would not be cam
didate for reelection.
Lewis asserted that in 1886 or
ganized labor furnished money
speakers, party workers, and mil
lions of voters to help return the
Democratic party to power.
"The Democratic party and its
leadership have not preserved its
faith" He added:
in tho last three years labor has
not been given representation in the
cabinet nor in the administrative OF
policy making agencies Of govern
ment. The current administration has
not sought not seriously entertained
the view of labor upon the question
of national unemployment or lesser
questions affecting domestic econ
omy, internal taxation, foreign trade
relations with foreign nations or The
issue OF war or peace"
Il am one vino believes that R0oSc-
welt will not be a candidate for re-
election. Conceding that the conven-
ton could be coerced or dragoonec
into nominating him l am convinced
that with the conditions now affect

now permeating the minds of the
people his candidacy would result in
