Copyright, 1928, by Central Press Association, Inc. “How much of this story { READ THIS FIRST: Lynda Fenton, a singularly inno- cent girl, is private secretary Ralph Armitage, who has an insane wife, Lynda’s father, a drunkard, tells her that her mother deserted them, and that all women have their price. Lynda meets Emily Andrews, who cherishes a secret fondness for David Kenmore, Lynda's companion from childhood. Emiyl plots against Lynda from the very beginning. Da- vid tells Lynda he loves her, but " 'she decides she doesn't wany to be in love with any man. David trav- els for Armitage, ' Ralph Armitage meets with an accident, and Lynda goes to his home to take dictation. There he is enthralled by her innocent charms. Next day he tells her that he loves her. Lynda attends June Challer's jazz party. Ralph Armitage goes in bandages, David arrives unbeknown to Lynda, and Emily Andrews subtly leads him t6 a hidden view of Lynda, David sees Ralph clasp her arm, and hears him address her in en- dearing terms. He rushes in, Ralpi rises, then collapses. Next morning David tries to ex- plain to Lynda that he sought only to protect her, and asks marry him, She spurns him, saying that she will accept that which means most to her, though now she's undecided. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XLVII As Men Look at Lives When David Kenmore got to Mr. . Armitage's office, he did not wait to knock. He opened the door as quickly as possible, and he, too, for & moment, saw the elder Armitage without his mask. He was reading the morning pa- per, and he still had it in his hand he looked up at David. ‘Kenmore, were you at that dis- graceful party last night?” he said, abruptly. “Yes, sir, T was at that party, but there was nothing particularly dis- graceful about it that I could see, | except the brawl that took place between your son and myself."” “My God, Kenmore. Do you mean to tell me that you were the man who fought with my son “We did not fight. No matter how angry I was at any man, I would not strike one who was crip- pled in any way. I have not seen the morning paper, and I do mnot know what was said about it. Without a wo Mr. Armitage passed it over. reporter had evidently found out nothing except the mere hearsay that Ralph Ar- mitage tried to fight with another man at June Challer's part and dislocated his shoulder aga and tore the bandage off of his broken ribs. The reporter did not say, l#w- ever, that the affair had been over " some girl, Then, to give the story color, all Ralph's tragic marrisge hashed over, and it was intimated that the other man had caught Ralph making love to his girl David laid the paper down “How much of that is asked Mr. Armitage “It Is all true,* said does not tell enough. that is all You have probably Miss Fen ton, Mr. Armitage, but you probab- Iy have forgotten that Armitage & Son hired her on my recommenda tion, “1, however, that you gave favor to me.” “I remember all about more,” said Mr. Armitage, time you told me that she had been childhood pals ever sinee true David. “It is seen ve mnot forgotten her the position as a it, Ken- Manage Your Real Estate For You to her to | had been | At the | and you | | night?” | thing was only between Miss Kenmore.” The face of the man on the bed | grew steely. “Why should T apologize man never saw before last he asked. “Why should he | The whole | Fen- j to a butt into my affair ton and myself.” “David Kenmore, Ralph. has loved Lynda Fenton all his life.” “What is that to me?

Mr. Armitage’s reference to Lyn- | da as someday being his ‘wife, angered David. “I am glad you remember that, sir, for your own son has probably made it impossible.” What do you mean, Kenmore?" “I mean that talph Armitage, | junior thinks he can buy with your | money anything that strikes his | tancy.

I should have known what would happen when a girl like Lynda was presented to a man like your son— a man who has no decent regard for any woman.” The two men looked at each oth- er steadily for a moment. Mr. Armi- tage opened his mouth to speak, but closed it again—while uncon- scionsly David drew himself up in almost military fashion, ‘Good morning, Mr. Armitage,” he said, and left the room. "he older man bowed his head and, as the door closed on David Kenmore, it sank lower on his | breast. Presently he left his room, IRE ng word that he would not be in any more that morning.

(UP) —Many people have heard and read stories of the fabulous wealth of the Osage Indians of Oklahoma and are accustomed to the tradition that all Indians are either rolling in wealth or comfortably provided for. A state investigation of the In- dian tribes in New Mexico has proved this belief untrue. Only two per cent of all the Indians in America have incomes exceeding $500 annually, the New Mexico committee found after wecks of investigation. The individual per capita incom: survey is less than $200, especially affects southwestern states.

SURVIVORS TELL ABOUT DISASTER (Continued from First Page) of the train, said the worst was the terror everyone was thrown into. Choked by Smoke “We didn't know what had hap- pened, couldn't see and were choked by the smoke. It was as if a couple of thousand wild animals had all been turned loose at once in a cramped, dark pen full of smoke and were fighting to get out.” Lawrence Kerney of New York, a passenger in one of the forward cars, sald the train at the impact shook like a leaf. “There was some screaming and a rush began for the windows,” he sald. “But on the whole, most peo- rle kept their heads. The women were cooler than the men.” Policeman on Sceme John F. Ward, a mounted police- man on traffic duty, was riding past the subway entrance when he heard the crash. He ran down the steps and with the aid of a small electric flash pulled dead, dying and injured from the cars. “There was a tremendous jam,” he said, “It seems like a miracle that more were not killed. When vou realize that the sudden crash and the extinguished lights added terror and maddencd those trapped in the cars, I wonder that the list of dead did not have hundreds of names,” Chauffeur Alds Many Peter Molitor, a chauffeur of Brooklyn, aided many to escape by smashing in the window nearest him with a wrench, “It was like a madhouse when the lights went out,” he said. “Every- where I could hear shrieks. Those who were not shouting for help were sobbing. There were a number of children in our car and their cries could be heard above every- thing.” Stories of a similar nature were told by othera.

Fewer Passengers New York, Aug. 25 (UP) ably fewer passengers took part in the usual morning rush hour of the New York subways today. The long feared “subway disaster"” had happened at last and in a great many minds the details of the acci- dent were all too vivid.

(UP)— The rinth assembly of the League ° of Nations, which will follow closely the proposed signing at Paris ¢f the Kellogg war-abolition treaty, ex- pects to put the final touch on the problem of world security. League members frankly admit that the Kellogg treaty will consti- tute the greatest step yet taken, with the possible exception of Lo- carno, toward solving the problem of security that has to date been the greatest obstacle to any pro- gress toward disarmament, In the event, however, various nations still fe:l their security is not sufficiently guaranteed to per- mit of a limitation or reduction of armaments, the September assem- bly of the League will be prepared to put into effect. immediately a program that should overcome all final objections to a disarmament conference, Virtually all of the ministers who will participate in the cigning of the Kellogg pact at Paris - ill come immediately afterward to the League assembly and will thus be in a position to push to completion the basis of security already estab- lished by the Kellogg pact. To this end the assembly will have at its disposition the complete programi as prepared during the past year by its eecurity commis- sion under the direction of Foreign Minister Benes of Czechoslovakia. This consists of a dozen model bilateral and multilateral treaties covering the pacific settlement of all disputes, arbitration, concilia- tion, non-agression and mutual as- sistance. They are based for the greater part on the principles and system established by the Locarno treaties.
