Massachusetts Governor Wants Emer-

Boaton.—Governor Walsh said ha
would urge upon the incoming leglsla
ture the enactment of an emergency
labor law which would make it poa-
gible to suspend temporarily sectiona
of the labor law of the state so that
work on ordera resulting from the
European war might be expedited in
the factoriea. Legislation auch as the
new child labor law, the overtime act
and the 64-hour law would be affected
by the proposed measure. The govern-
or advanced his proposal at a confer-
ence of the atate board of labor and
industry.
Lansing, Mich.—The census report
for 1910 sa.vs there were in that year
14,512 boys and 4,781 girls between
the ages of ten and fifteen yeara em-
ployed In Michigan In gainful occu-
pations. While this is something like
19,000 too many, it is cheering to know
that it is less than in 1900, when there
were 19,623 boys and 7,174 girls be-
tween these ages so employed. The

the reporter ahook hie
and hurried away.
Dick waa a dreamer; yea But on
the basic principles of life Dick waa
right, and ho had proved a good
prophet
The atlng of conaclence and remorae
began to take auch a hold on Bob that
he ceased to ahare hie wife's pleaeuree
and he found hlmaelf aggrieved and
annoyed at her extravagancee. Tha
«lght of her coatly gowna actually irri-
tated him. for he continued to loee
thla life of wealth and gaiety the words | hetvlly hla entire fortune now waa
Paying the Prlee.
With all their money and all Mra,
Brand's charm the Brands were not
within the inner circle of New York
aoclety. Juat what the circle la, la
hard to eay. Thoaa who try to define
it are generally thoae who know little
about It, or who at least are not part
of It. The circle la composed of many
aegments. There are times when theae
segments vie with others so that It la
difficult to tell where the one beglna
and tbe other end*. But the bounda-
rles are there, and. generally apeaklng,
they may be determined by tha hori-
aontal and vertical llnee. New York
has grown vertically, Its skyscrapers
stand aa monumenta to mllliona, but
from the Battery to the Bronx it
meaeures the aame number ot feat and
inchee as In the day of Peter Btuy-
Tgpant and It la the landholdere of
New York that dominate the eircle.
Within Ita circumference there hava
been many encroachments. Savanta
are welcomed, toaated and forgotten.
Merrtage and Intermarriage bar*
brought many newcomer^ million-
and bllllonalrea have been toler-
ated, but the Olleniiky remains.
The Branda had neither antecedents
nor matrimony aa passports. Brand'e
wife had beauty, culture, wealth; all
the reciprocal means that society
lovea, but she lacked incentive and
ambition. Her nearest approach to
the inner circle waa the Long laland
hunting set. She wsa an ardent horee-
woman and rode and drove admirably.
She had been received by eome very
amart people of the younger aet in
the hunts at Hempstead and Meadow-
brook and If she had pursued these ac-
quaintances. might have found an en-
tering wedge to the sacred sphere.
But the Branda lived on Little Rock
Bay and It waa eomethlng of a hard-
ship for Mrs. Brand to ahlft her
mounta from her atable half way
acroaa the laland. An ambitloua worn
an would not let auch a little matter
as that stand In the way of social pro
: ferment, but she found the effort Irk-
some. She entered a few of her favor
ltea In the horse show, but more from
pride for her horees tban in social
queat. In fact, Mrs Brand was not
society mad. She courted comfort
and liked her own amusements.
When Jane came upon the scene the
situation changed What Mrs. Brand
lacked In way of aaplratlona, Jane sup-
piled, and what young Mia. Reynolds i
lacked in matter or meana waa amply |
furnished by her new friend. And
Jane wanted all or nothing She craved
not only entree to the circle, hut ad-
mittance to Ita most sacieil confines
She urged Mra. Brand to seek every
poaelble avenue of approach to social
recognition and influenced her to at-
tempt lavieh entertainments. Brand
wae agreeable enough. He rather en-
joyed the energy and teal that Mra
Reynolds displayed and approved of
the effect It had on bis wife He as-
sisted with a supply of unlimited cash.
Jane's only sesame to her goal waa
through her friend and by the meana
of her own peraonal attraction. She
made the most or the latter and the
bllla from her modiste and milliner
cauaed Bob many a misgiving, deeptte
tbe abandon with which he made and
spent his money. He liked to see his
wife look as good as the best and be
plunged harder and deeper so that he
could gratify her every wish without
the semblance of queatlon. Economy
waa a word that he had banlabed for-
ever and If their houee had permitted
It he would have urged her to attempt
acme of tbe prodigious affaira that aba
abared at tbe Brands.
Yet while Reynolds Indulged and
encouraged hla wife he found hlmaelf
often aasumlng a care free spirit that
he did not feel. There came moments
when the false glamor of his life palled
and he gave way to deepeat melan
choly. More aud more be resorted to
the bracing Influence of stlmulanU
and a ceeaatlon from thla practlae only
accentuated hla morbldn
of Brand now came home to him with
poignant atlng. He waa, Indeed, on the
outside looking In. He saw hla wife,
through his apoataay, mount higher to
the goal of her ambition while he eanh
lower and lower. The metamorphoala
of aoul began to take on phyalcal ex-
pression. The candor of hla expres-
sion changed to cunning and .craftiness
and an inherent frankneaa of manner
gave way to conatralnt. At the club
the change became noticeable. Hla
evenings there were not of the con-
vivial aort aa before. He aought only
one form of amuaement—gambling. He
played heavily and loat oftener tban
he won. His speculatlona in tha atreet
also went awry. Within a year from
the date of hla Ill-gotten proeperlty,
Reynolds had begun paying tbe price.
He paid heavily and alone.
His thoughts often turned to Dick
and the happy houra they had apent
in the little bungalow. And Jane had
seemed happy, too, for the reporter'a
boyish nature and lovable waya had
endeared him to both. Reynolda for-
got all the dlfflcultlea of their life
acroes the bay and dated every ele-
ment of discontent and unrest from
the time of Brand's coming. Brand's
coming—tha thourht of It made the
blood aurge through hla velna—he
curaed the day that he had ever made
the rullllonalre'a acquaintance and the
day It had been renewed; and he
curaed Brand himself. What had Brand
ever done or intended to do for him?
He had need him aa a pawn In the
game of apoll! A cat'e-paw to drag a
time In such a way that Hennlng
unable to evade hla look.
Don't quibble with me. Hennlng,
he counaeled. "You know that my In-
qulriea into Reynolds' bualneaa aron t
calculated to do him harm. 1 have
heard eomethlng which makea me
think he was caught pretty bad today.
Now It's yes, or no. If y u don't want
to enlighten me. say so.
Don't atall."

less than tha forty thouaand dollara
with which Brand had rewarded hla
duplicity. It waa not bia loases, how
ever, that unnerved him. It waa the
thought that ha now had nothing of hla
own making and that for avery luxury
hlft wife enjoyed, he and she were
bounden to Brand. Jane waa obllvloue
to It, but that only aggravated the 111.
He avoided her. Night after night be
remained away, urging press of busl-
neaa while he waa engaged in nothing
more urgent than some game of chance
which for him had loat even the ele-
ment of aoclaMtity. Hla sleeping houra
were as troubled as hla wakeful onea
and pleading extreme nervousneea to
Jane, he advlaed that they occupy sep-
arate rooms.
He dreamed constantly of Dick and
the bungalow and of his earlier days
with Jane. And once be dreamed of
something else. He awoke clutching
at the clothea, with beads of cold sweat
starting from his brow and the picture
of a horrible nightmare •till before
hla eyes. He had dreamed that the
dam had collapsed and that hundrede
of persons were dead, martyre to his
crime. And while he dreamed theae
dreams Brand alept peacefully. One
waa a conscience-prodded transgressor
and tha other a self-satisfied progress-
ive.
At laet Bob decided on an eecape
He determined to riak everything he
bad, houae and all, in a final coup. If
he won, he would go away whether
Jane went or not. He could give her
enough to be comfortable on if he were
succeaaful, and If he loat—well, there
would, at least, be a change.

Do You Real
cheatnut from the flame, and then he
had thrown him the ehell. And for
such little gain aa waa hla he had Buf-
fered an Incomparable loee. He waa
butned and Beared forever. In the hit-
terneas of theae momenta Reynolds'
very aoul waa racked and torn and In
hla heart, at tlmea, there waa murder.
He wondered what Dick knew of
hla actual deal with Brand. He longed
sometlmea to look up the reporter and
bare the whole etory. But canfeealon
to another would do no good now; It
Unto Him That Hath.
Mr. Richard Meade It waa now-not
Dick. If Reynolda had followed the
activltlea of the tlmea be would have
seen his frtend'a Blgnature over articles
of Import in an enterprlalng weekly.
For the reporter had abandoned
hla newapaper work and Joined the
staff of a powerful publication. He
waa a valued man, a "muck-raker" and
crope were fine.
If a year had wrought so much to
the detriment of Bob. It had been, on
the other hand, equally beneficent to
Dick. In the clearneaa of eye. direct
neaa of manner and quiet reaerva^one

ceaa waa manlfeat In hla outward ap-
pearance, and hia anvlronment. He
eat at a desk as big as Brand'e In a
aulte aa flnely furnished and aa richly
carpeted. He looked out upon a buay
thoroughfare, one of the croaa atreeta
In New York'a colony of publishing
houees. He inspected the passing
throng, not with a reetless spirit of in-
quiry and conjecture, but with calm
obaervance and quiet analysis. Dick
was etlll a socialist, but a socialist of
deeds, not words. He had learned to
subdue his direct frontal attacka on
tbe enemy and to take more credit
unto hlmaelf and hla kind. In thle re-
apect he had outdiatanced his employ
era and his writings attracted serious
attention from tbe men who think
When Dick thought of Bob and bis
venal aurrender to Brand he did not
acoff at his friend or rail at his tra-
ducer. He pitied Reynolds, not only
for what he had done but for what he
waa—a palpable victim of the ayatem's
way. And the very worst kind of a
victim, for at flrat the system bad
merely stolen a part of the man'a earn-
ing power and now It had atolen the
man hlmaelf. The reporter knew be-
yond a doubt that the falae premlaea
on which Bob bad founded hla new
proeperlty presaged only one thing—
collapee. And unlike Reynolde, he had
not almply wondered and dreamed. Ha
had watched. He had kept himself In
formed about Bob. ready when the In-
evitable ahould come, to extend the

"All on one atockT" Meade asked.
. "One was enough." replied the
broker. "Coneolldated Wire did tha
trick."
"Quite au unexpected drop, waant
ItT" the young Journalist commentad.
Oh, by the way," he added lightly.
Mr. Brand, of the Hudeon company,
baa been trading In Consolidated. I
suppose he took a tumble, too."
Hennlng laughed outright
"Yea, he took a tumble all right, hut
he took It flrat—before the drop—and
aold. Slocks go up on a rlalng mar-
ket," he said placidly. "They go no tar
and then they uaually go down." ^
"And very rcaaonable of them, too."
Dick feigned no surprise at Brand'e
good fortune. He got up and walked
about the room, Inepectlng, In turn,
the mural decorations. Then quite
casually he Angered a pad of paper on
the broker's desk and toyed with a con-
venient pencil. Unwittingly he drew
some little lines on the paper, two
vertical, and aero*, them, two hori-
zontal ones. Then ha drew them
again—a double croaa.
Hennlng, a keen obeerver of thla
artiatic trifling, reddened ellgbtly, but
hia immobile featurea underwent no
change. He watched the writer reach
for hla hat and neither spoke. Aa Dick
opened the door the broker offered no
commonplace good by. Hla worde
might have seemed somewhat Irrele-
vant, but for tha little croea Dick had
acratched upon the pad.
"Meade," he aald, without rlalng.
"you're wasting your time at that
magaslne stuff. Why don't you coma

In the street beyond a doubt"
"Thanka," answered the Journallat
complacently. "Coming from you that'a
quite a compliment. But even a brohar
can't ignore soma trutha If you don't

"I'm afraid not," Dick anawered.
"From what I knew and from what I've

He went out Into the crowd. It waa

were filled with a hurrying, acurrylng
throng.
