oar*jk. nn. * *
IVhat Madge tind* She Hunt Discover
in Allen Drake'* Fye*.
At my request that she briny m<
gome flowers, Marion darted toward
me to give me an ecstatic little hug. |
then stopped short with n thought
fulness far beyond her years.
"I almost crushed your dress.'' sh«
cried remorsefully, "hut oh. Auntie
Madge, you're Just like a picture In
that gown. And those scarlet an'!

think of the nicest things. I'll hurry |
like everything and net them. One
of each from Grandpa 8pencer's
room, you said."
She danced off, repeating my last
Injunc tion, and I turned to my mil
ror again with eager questioning
Was it true what the child had
said, or was the compliment simpb
the tribute of her childish linagin
at ion? I remembered that Dicky had
said laughingly when ho had design
ed the gown for me that It brought
out the "red hair" of mo. referring
lo the auburn tint which my hair
holds in some lights. But Dick}
had expressed no unusual admiration
when I first had donned the dress
for l\lw inspection. Indeed. I hail
felt with a trifle of pique that In
was more concerned with the sue
cess of his own handiwork than with
my appearance in the gown.
I scanned myself relentlessly In
the mirror for the little lines which
should tell irte that my youth was
flitting away from me. But excite
ment had given me the fillip I need
ed. nnd wjth a little gratified thrill
I acknowledged not ihe truth ot
Marion's words I wasn't so vain as
that but the undeniable fact that I
never had looked better than I did
In this gown.
Madge I* Triumphant.
I possess very few jewels, nil of
them presents from Dicky and my
father, and I opened my case with
a distinct Idea of tho thing which I
should select. My father had once
given me a necklace of quaintly-
carved Oriental brads In odd shnpes.
strung irregularly upon a slender
silver chain. This I fastened around
my neck, and when Marlon breath-
less nnd triumphant, returned with
the flowers. 1 fastened them In my
corsage. Than I bent to kiss the
child whose eyes, wide and lustrous,
remained fastened on me in the en-
thusiastic admiration which only
childhood can give—the most genu-
ine feeling In the world.
"Run and tell Mother I'm ready,
sweetheart," 1 said, and when the
child had departed obediently, 1
turned to my mirror again with a
most unholy little feeling of triumph.
"I'm old enough to know better,
am 1?" I mocked aloud. "Well, per-
haps I am but I'm still young enough
not to sit down lamely In a drab
dress and knit by the fireside while
my husband disports himself at a
luxurious Adirondack camp."
Not until then had I realized fully
how deep my mother-in-law's strict-
ures had cut. She had taken the
position that 1 was past the age for
youthful gowns, that I had no busi-
ness making myself attractive. In-
deed. so caustic had been her words
thai. 1 had wondered if I were not
losing my youth, and the first fresh-
ness of what Dicky in his atrocious
slang called "Ihe map and mop"
which first attracted him.
A Sure Test.
Dicky's flitting to the city, his ref-
erence to Edith Fairfax, this trip to
the Adirondack." all had Intensified
ray fear that I was losing my lure
for my husband.
The particular little devil which
always comes to me when 1 am
troubled whispered in my ear:
"Why don't you find out?"
"Find out what?" I answered.
Itartled into speaking aloud.
"You know." The answer came
almost as distinctly as If it were
a spoken one. and startled, shaken.
I knew that I did not recognize the
menning of the question.
If I were really losing my youth
and attractiveness, f knew with a
certainty which told me how surely
I had read the man, 1 would read in
Allen Drake's eyes. Fastidious to a
fault, selfish and spoiled, his regard
for any woman. I know would be
but admiration, which would auto-
matically cease when her attraction*
lessened In any degree.
For a moment my conscience lifted !
its head nnd tried to speak to me.
but another glance at Dicky's tele- ,
pram made me ruthless. And as the
ring which announced Allen Drake's1
arrival sounded through the house.
I sent another satisfied little glance *

DODSON AND LONG
HEROES AT TULSA
Maybe the Tribe is getting started
at last. Frank Dodson, new Indian
secured from Rochester, in the Inter-
national league, at least gave it a
boost in that direction Wednesday.
In the Wednesday game with the
Oilers at Tulsa, he held the Greasers
helpless in his grasp. They managed
to tease him out of only five hits.
For nine innings It was a pitchers'
battle between Black and Dodson.

President Failed To Show Up
For Women's Ceremony.
By Federated I'ress.
WASHINGTON, June 1. — Why
did President Harding change his
mind at the eleventh hour, and fail
. , , to attend the dedication exercises at
!." .Lh" ; th>' "<">■ headquarters of the Na-
tional Woman's party, on Capitol
Hill. May 21?
Washington is buzzing with con-
jecture, since, he had accepted long
before, and had permitted Secre-
tary of the Navy Denby to give to
the women who formerly picketed
the White House and filled the local
jail the use of the Marine band for
the occasion, and the promise of the
use of the naval radio for broad-
casting the speeches and music
across the continent. True, Acting
Secretary Roosevelt revoked the
radio privilege when his chief was
safely a sea. but the Marine band
was there, and Harding himself sent
a polite note or regrets. Why he
did not appear on the platform with
Senator Curtis, the republican
whip, and Chairman Fess, republi-
can congressional ccvnmittee, is the
enigma.
Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, donor of
the building, in a speech which
j sounded almost prophetic of the oc-
Icasion, said: "The existing political

THE
VNOVI E S
By ART SHIELDS,
Federated Press Staff Correspondent.
SOMERSET, Pa., June 1.—Th
Berwind-White Coal Co. has been
hard hit by the strike in the former
non-union fields.
"The effect of the strike has been
disastrous," testified Thomas Fisher,
general manager, when called to the
stand in Somerset court in the suit
of his company and 18 other opera-
tors of Somerset county for a perma- <
nent injunction against the United
Mine Workers.
Plants Idle.
"Today," continued Fisher, "we are
compelled to purchase the coal for
our steamship contracts from Bel^i-
' um, France and Great Britain, and
the miners of Windber have lost the
benefit of the work."
Two hundred and fifty thousand
tons a month was the normal pro-
duction of the miners in the Wind-
ber field, Fisher declared, and the
total capitalization of the plants now
lying idle is 15,000,000. An accident
of geography worked against tho
company at today's hearings. It hap-
pens that the Berwind-White oper-
ations. which have their headquar-
ters in Windber, on the Somerset
county side, stretch across the coun-
ty line extensively into Cambria
county. Miners' attorneys were quick
to take advantage of the fact that
most of the alleged acts of intimida-
tion against which the company
sought protection by a Somerset
county injunction were in Cambria
county and therefore properly out of
the jurisdiction of the Somerset writ.
Such cases were those of Stuart
D. Osborne, who said strikers
stopped him on the way to work
and ordered him to go home; Lizzie
Lucas, who said a former boarder
threatened to "fix her house" if her
man did not quit work at Mine 37;
John Kusrork of Mine 40, who said
that his wife had told him she ob-
served a stone in the hand of a man
who met him and threatened him
outside their house—"I didn't see it,"
he said, "because I ran too fast"—
and William Maher of Mine 40. who
swore he heard Vice-President Mark
advise beating strikebreakers and
writing letters to them.
Frame-up Charged.
Mark, who will go on the stand to-
morrow, says this is a frame-up, and
that he was many miles from Wind-
ber on that day. Strikers say that
Maher is one of the company "pus-
sy-footers," the term which miners
use to describe under cover men.
Attorney Joe Kintner of the miners
expressed amazement that Cambria
county matter should be presented
in a Somerset county court as rele-
vant to a Somerset injunction writ,
and Judge Berkey declared that he
thought eventually this testimony
would have to be stricken from the
record, but that he would let it
stand for the present in order to see
where the plaintiff was leading.
"Blackbaiid" Threats.
Alleged black hand letters, how-
ever. were barred by Berkey. no evi-
dence being offered that any of the
union members had anything to do
with them. Anthony Strapple of
-Mine 36. who tended bar in Windber
ten years, as well as mining for srv-1
eral years, swore to receiving a M-J
ter in Lithuanian, with a big black:
hand inked upon it. Stuart OsbornJ
prompted by Attorney Rose of the
Berwind-White interests, testified tr
a threatening letter found under his
door, and Arthur Vesey, brother of
a Windber guard, said that guards
told him they had been given a
black hand letter for him by a girl
but that he did not see it. Rose
offered to produce the letter but
Judge Berkey had ruled against such,
anonymous matter.
