CHAPTER II

Then, standing under the lamp
in the hall, outside of Johnson's
sickroom, he read the crumpled,
blood stained letter Gharian had
written to the girl before she
came to nurse his wounds. II

that established her ignorance OF
his marriage.

Ninon! I'm married. I never
told you because she left me
long ago, and hates me. / treat
ed her bad, dear girl, I con-
fess it; but could never treat
you bad! You're the only girl
/ ever really loved, but I'll cut
out my tongue before I offend
you again! I'm wounded, hot
with fever, and with no one but
a drunken Cree to nurse me.
Maybe it's all deserve, but,
NinUn, you're an angel of mercy
pity me! If you'd only come,
your cool little hands, your
sweet face-I'd live then! But
maybe I'd better die. Nicky
will kill me if I dpn't give you
up, and the thought of losing
you is madness! The fever's
getting me-Laure-that's her
name-Laure haunts me. Her
eyes-how they follow me! For
give, forgive"
It broke off as it began, abrupt
ly, the raving of a fevered man
the remorSe of one who had for
gotten for a while this woman
who still haunted him, this Laure
who must have had a hold upon
Jim deeper in some respects even
than his wild love for the girl.
The very remorse of it stirred
again the subtle instinct in
O'Hara's mind. This Laurie, where
was she? If she could keep a
haunting hold on fevered man.
even while he avowed his love
for another woman, there was
something about her-beauty or
sweetness Or strength of soul
that even a tickle, worthless man
like Gharian could not forget
Laurie? O'Hara was trying to
imagine her, to summon up some
picture of Gharian's wife, when
the nurse let him in to question
Johnson.
Constable Johnson was a trifle
feverish from his wound, and not
a little sullen. He added abso.
lutely nothing to his report, and
OHara began to understand the
inspectors doubts. The wound
ed man gave an impression that

ashamed that there were not a

one of the signs carried the word
"Jew" or mentioned Palestine
For it was an effort of the
Jacksonville Zionist District to
enlist the people of Jacksonville
to petition the president of the
United States to open the gates
of Palestine to Jewish immigra-

Jacksonville Zionists have in
deed fallen down on the job of

stead, it was decided to send him
a resolution signed by local Zion
list groups The resolution
was also sent to the daily news

drastically in publishing
Then Jack Becker, president OF
the local Zionist District, hit up
on the idea of the public appeal
for signatures on a petition to
the President Wherein the
fault lies we do not know +.
what we do know is that holding

lady Zionist visiting here from
South Africa, a student Rabbi
from New York spending the
summer here and two young
Judeans.
Where were the almost 1000
enrolled Zionists of Jacksonville?
The time for action on the
Palestine issue is definitely now
and the type of action def
nitely must be militant
Even in Palestine whether
one agrees with the policies
of the Irgun or not, one
must admit that their kidnapping
of the three British officers has
been effective If we are to
judge solely from our local pa

clusion that never before has the
Zionist issue been given SO much
respect F.. And judging from
the British verdict which COM
muted the death sentence to life
Imprisonment of the Irgun men,

manded a great deal of respect

Supina Far From Satisfied With NeW Bonus Rulin0

Seat IA, House of Representa- tives, State Capitol, Hartford, Oct. 29-(UP-This seat, which began housing Rep. Thomas J. Supkaa six days ago, showed more signs of wear today than its occupant.
 The thin covering of the chair was worn through in several places and the padding was dropping out.
 The persistent legislator, on the other hand, had on fresh suit, and showed no signs that any stuff flng had been kicked out.
 T hope this chair is one support CT can count on," said the Ash- ford sit-down striker, tits got to last flor 168 hours more until elec- tion day" The lawmaker has sworn to stay until next Tuesday, unless guarantee is forthcoming before then that a State bonus for veterans will be considered.
 Informed that Attorney General William L. Hadden had ruled that the bonus is legal, Supina chuffed, that's no guarantee-just politics Before Hadden said the matter should be decided by the courts now he's reversed himself. still think we should have a special ses- sion of the legislature to start the bonus rolling into court-and de- termine it's constitutionality once and for ail."
 Girding himself for another full week as a one-man legislature, Su- pima planned to have 8 doctor ex- anime him. Not that think any thing is wrong, but I just don't want my family to worry"
 He remained determined that his vigil will be "dignif1ed." He turned down an offer from a five piece hlll-billy band, which wanted to serenade him in the Senate house chamber. Supina wired its direct or, Tex Pavel, Stafford Springs, that he would enjoy the diversion but was afraid the music would sound too sweet to his political op- ponentS.

Doc Mcdonald of Miami Never Forgot Home Town'
By THE OUT EASTER

William Mcdonald died recently at his home in Miami, Florida. His wife and several children sur- vive. That was the bare an- nouncement as given by some of his Florida friends, although the Miami papers told of his activity in business since he went there about 25 years ago, and of his marked success in the real estate trade he established some years back.
 There was nothing said regard ing bis Waterbury connection, but the fact is he was born here, Out East, in day when his folks lived comfortably in their nice little home in East Main Street beyond the Wolcott Street junction, and just before the turn easterly at the No. 112 building of the Scovill Manufacturing Company.
 To Us who knew him well, he was Doc" Mcdonald.
 That was the name applied to him in his youthful days, and it stuck during all of the years he was employed in and around Wa terbury. Doc" was like the rest of the boys of his period, he got to work early, after a schooling that took him to the high school, but not to the finishing courses. His hobby was that of driving a horse. He did errands on Satur- day around an out east grocery for the privilege of driving the delivery horse. And then one day, he got regular job in Kilmartin's grocery over in the west end. Kilmartin'S was an old-fashioned cracker and cheese establishment. The head of the store was 8 well educated man, and often tried to shoo Doc" back to school for further training. From that point on, Doc" cared little for the place, got out, and drifted into similar other places about the west end, and in the north end. Shortly af- ter 1920, he went south and his home had been there ever since.
 During the years, number of Waterbury people met Doc" in the south, and were well looked after by him, not permanently, of course, but in exactly the same manner he would have expected, had he been the guest, instead of the host. No one knew better how to entertain, how to please, and how to satisfy. He did all of this for the sake of Good Old Water bury" as he often said. While his home was elsewhere, he fre- quently con1ded of his love for old friends and acquaintances, and his wish for the good and welfare of school mates, and Athe Out Easters" of old. To Jack FTeney, one of his best frineds, he put question after question, regarding various people every time Jack made his appearance.
 "No one," says Jack, lever seemed like Doc Mcdonald when it came to remembering old friends. He always had a kind word for everyone"
 Doc" Mcdonald was specially pleasing in company. He livened up to whatever was being discus sed, expressed his opinion, and said nothing beyond that. His was an attitude of the jovial kind; he was seldom seen with out smile; he was staunch to those he liked, but never unkind in expression toward others.
 This doctrone of living he car- ried with him from Waterbury to Miami. And it was this principle and precept of life as personally practiced that brought him the success that followed him in his change of residence from these parts to the warmer climate of Florida

Raise Asked in Textiles /
 Cotton and Royon
 Group Seeks Hike

Boston, Oct. 29-UP)-A general wage increase of Is cents an hour will be demanded for 90,0oo cotton rayon workers in New England and the Middle Atlantic States, accord ing te President Emil Rieve of the Textile Workers Union of America (CIO)
 He announced plans to reopen wage negotiations in 125 plants in the six New England states, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The decision was reached yesterday at meeting of 300 dele gates after day-long conference.
 '@The need for wage increase for textile workers must be clear to everyone" Rieve said. Past wage gains .... are being wiped out by the rising cost of living. Textile workers and their families are flnd- ing it increasingly difficult to main tain a decent standard of living .. with meat at $1 pound. who can deny the need for wage relief"
 Rieye, declaring the profits of textile mills fantastic" said the demand for a cotton-rayon wage increase was the first of union wide program in which increases will be asked for every division.
 Current contracts between the T.W.UA. and the cotton-rayon mills do not expire until next year, but the agreements provided for reopen ing of negotiations before Jan. for reconsideration of wages.
 Rieve said there would be no strikes as virtually all agreements provide for arbitration in the event that the union and employers fail to agree on the amount of increase.
