Youv'e made me happy when I most want to be happy.” “That's all right.” He patted her hand absently and stared straight ahead. Then he said suddenly: “Do you know what the worst part of this whole thing is, Sam? = It's Fourth's money.” “His money? I don’t understand.” “I mean that this invention thing is the worst thing that could have possibly happened. It gave Fourth a lot of money, and giving Fourth do it.

He wouldn't have been dangerous. “We'd be better off if we were poor the way we used to be. It isn't natural for Fourth to have money, and there’s something fishy about it. I feel the way the Frye woman does. I wish he'd lose it all. By the way, have you seen the honorable Mrs. Frye lately?” “No." “I wonder what she's doing?” She said she was going to do some- thing. I wish I could help her. Maybe I will” “Nelson!" “I don't care.” He shook his head doggedly. “Fourth, with money, is bad news, and there’s no two ways about it.

According to official advices, Tokyo considers the note as a “friendly repressntation.” FIGHTING REPORTED GENEVA, Nov. 6. — Dr. Alfred Sze, Chinese member of the League of Nations, has reported to the League’s secretary that Japanese fired on Chinese troops, killing 100. Japanese bombing planes have gerous, and worse than that it makes him cocky. He thinks he can go around trying to run every- body’s lives for them. He'd better learn better before he gets into a bad jam!"” Nelson’s forcbodings take a heavier tone tomorrow, when he tclephones Sam that he also killed 20 more, according to Sze's information. CHINESE ROUTED TOKYO, Japan, Nov. 6—Renew- ed fighting between Chinese and Japanese near Tahsing, resulting in the collapse of the Chinese forces and their disorderly with- drawal northward, is reported in the vernacular press dispatches. The dispatches said the fighting has left the Japanese in complete control of strategic points east and west of Tahsing after a four-hour battle. The Japanese War Office said that during two days' fighting in the vicinity of Tahsing, Japan lost 100 of her troops. JAPAN'S SIDE LONDON, Nov. 5.—Japan’'s side of the story of fighting in Man- churia is contained in a dispatch to the London Daily Mail from Mukden and places responsibility on the Chinese troops under Gen. Mai Chan Shan. Japan charges the Chinese forees attacked after first hoisting a flag of truce. After the fighting was halted by the truce, the dispatches state, the Chinese opened fire when the Japanese approached. The Japanese attacked first and took the first Chinese.lines. The Chinese counter attacked and al- most surrounded the Japanese who were compelled to readjust their lines and await reinforcements. The Japanese, according to the dispatches, encountered the Chinese when they arrived at the Nonn! River bridge and found it destroy- ed. The Japanese crossed the riv- er by ferries and found two smaller bridges destroyed. They then cross- ed the marshes and encountered the Chinese. ———p i “MIDNIGHT IN JUNE” The new Christmas gift picture by Winter & Pond—“ready to mail,” in four sizes.
