~SW i, Author of READ THIS FIRST: Lynds Fenton, sympathetically impulsive, is private secretary to Ralph Armitage, who has an insane wife, Lynda’s father, a drunkard, tells her that her mother deserted them, and that all women have thelr price, Sometimes she reflects, and thinks he may be right. Emily Andrewa, who cherishes a secret fondness for David Kenmore, Lynda's friend from childhood, plot: against Lynda. David tells Lynda that he loves her, but she decides that she doesn’t want to be in love with any man. Then Lynda's fa- ther, too, deserts her, and Claire Stanhope comes to live with her. Ralph Armitage is enthralled with Lynda's innocent charms, and, al- theugh he cannot marry her, he‘ save he loves her, and wants her for his own. Emily Andrews contrives a break between Lynda and David, who repigns his job with Armitage | and connects with a rival firm. Ralph comes to believe that Lyn- | da loves him, but she doesn’t. Now | she views the world with so-called modern eyes, and though she’s fond of Ralph, she thinks of price, not| love. Only Ralph's money would lead her to give herself to him, lhe‘ says. At home she thinks of David, | and longs for him. Then Emily| comes with guile, and hints that David has turned to her. (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) CHAPTER LV WHAT SHALL I DO Utterly discouraged and disheart- | ehed, Lynda came out a little later | and sat down in thc shabby old hammock. She realized that Claire and Fred would be married as soon as posal- ble, and that she would be entirely alane. 8he could hardly understand David and his sudden turn about| face. q True, she had told him that she never wanted to look upon his face again but it did not seem possible that so soon afterward he would say the same things to Emily Andrews that he had said to her. Did ,men have a line that they said to all women in whom they be- came interested? Had Ralph Armi- tage said the same things to Pamiila Sheston that he had said to her? As it in answer to her question, & messenger came with a big florist's box for her, and left whistling as soon as she had signed for it. Hastily opening it, she saw an en- velope addressed to her in Ralph's queer left-hand writing. Her disappointment told her that | mercenary side of it, but Lynda, it she had hopes that David would, in | will be my great pleasure to make some way, let her know that he was going away. Slowly, without much interest, she lifted the layers of white tissue pi per and found imbedded in a great bouquet of white violets a curious- shaped atomizer which, when she took it out and sprayed its contents over her face, seemed to be filled with the liquid fragrance of the flowers. “ Languidly she put it back and laid the box ' on the table. “This is Ralph's ‘line’,” she said to herself. “Probably he has sent this same per- fume, with its accompanying flow- ers, totwenty other girls.” She turned her head away, but the odor instdiously stole into her senses. It was s silent comforter. It seemed net only te dry her, tears, but to say: “Take me, take me; the man who sends me believes he loves you now, whatever he may think in the tuture.” Lynda came to & sidden resolve. She picked up the flower box, and opened Ralph Armitage’s letter. It sending perfume and flowers, accompanied by ardent love letters, was Ralph Armitage’s line, Lynda had te acknowledge to herself that it was & charming one. She was heart broken over David. She had just learned of t cAllousness of her father. 8 not knew where to turn, and this token of the admiration and regard trom Ralph was balm to her pride n‘well as her heart break over Da- vid. “A girl is & peculiar human. Per- haps nature has fashioned her so. She must have the assurance that| someone loves her,” she said to Claire that night, when she told her | what she intended to do. “Peculiar, my hat,” said Claire, “All human beings must have a feeling that someone loves them to be happy. I think that is the reason [ clung to Fred, although h. causs me so much trouble, it was his way of saying he still leved me. He told me today, Lynda, that one reason his love for me nev- ar wavered, no matter how terrible his actions, was that I kept myself from him always. Although Claire had not advised Lynda about Ralph, she knew that this speech was her way of saving she thought Lynda was making a great mistake. However, Claire had not Ralph's letter, she told herself. seen Once more she read it over just| before she went to bed. | Her room was redelent with the | odor of white violets, and Lynda, | be used by anyone else. However, T By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON the flower, itself, has faded. "I received this package this morning, with a letter telling me this, and then I knew why you sug- gested this exquisite white flower to me. “It could not be your purple-blue eyes, for then 1 would have thought of English blue violets instead of white. “When T received the letter from the perfume chemist this morning, I knew that it was your purity and unattainableness that you suggested to me that made me think of the wonderful bank covered with white atars, in a shady spot in my moth- er's old-fashioned garden, where I always went at twilight to pick the tender flower of which she was so fond. “Dearest, 1 had just intended to write you this explanation, and to tell you that the perfume is yours. It was made for you and will never cannot close this letter without tell- ing you the momentous thing that has happended since T saw you. “My father, bless his heart, has been here to see me again, and he spoke of you with such great ad- miration and affection, that T want- ed to fall on my knees before him and say that I would never hurt his dignity again. And then I thought, 1 cannot say that, for if Lynda con- sents, T will take her openly, and thereby will ensue another story about me that will make all the others that have graced the front pages of the newspapers seem like bed-time stories for children. “Dad says—oh, what is the use of writing what he says as much as T love and revere him? This is be- tween you and me, Lynda. “I am glad that in all our conver- sations, you never intimated that should you feel that you care enough for me to make me very happy. you had some doubts that my love—that any man's love— would last. “If you had, my darling, 1 would have probably told you that I would love you forever and a day. Now that T am writing to you, T am going to have the courage to tell you that 1 do not know how long it will last. T hope it will be forever, dear heart, for never before in all my life have T known such joy as T have in loving you, and it that love should be taken away from me, T would indeed be the lost and forsaken soul that the reformers have called me. “It seems almost sacrilegious to profane this love and refer to the your days in the future free from the slightest care. Then, if anything happens to me, alive or dead, you will have everything that money can give. “Dad wants me to go out of town for & while, He says that he would like to keep you in the office, and that he thinks a year in Europe would be good for me. “I thought it foolish to tell him that 1 would only go to Europe with you. “I am going to California for a lit- tie while until you decide what you are going to do with our lives. T say our lives for my life as well as yours, {8 within your keeping. “Wear my white violets on your whiter breast tonight, all through your sleep. Their fragrance will speak to you of my love for you. “RALPH.” CHAPTER LVI LYNDA HEARS BAD NEWS As she read that letter over the second time, Lynda Fenton wonder- ed if any other real man had ever written a letter like it to a real girl. “It was like a pagc out of a novel written by Elinor Glyn,” she said to herself, smiling somewhat quizzi- cally; nevertheless, she pinned a great bunch of Ralph’'s white violets just above her heart, on the primly- tailored night dress that she was wearing. Here Claire found them when later she tip-toed into Lynda's room to see if she were asleep. “Poor girl,” she said to herself, remembering what a bad time she had had, and knowing that Lynda was in for something much worse, if she was in love with Ralph Armi- NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER §, 1928 “My Son's Sweethearts,” “Confessions of a Wife,” Ete. Copyright, 1938, by Central Press Association, Inc. door marked Private.” Out of the corner of her eye she noticed that Emily Andrews was not at her desk, and she wondered why. Ralph's desk was covered with mail, and on her own there were two envelopes with her name on them. The one on top was in David's fa- miliar hand. Hastily dropping the other, “Ralph Armitage— she “I expect you will be quite as sur- prised to see that I still call you dear Lynda, as you will be to get a letter from me at all. You are very dear to me, even though I do not know the Lynda of today. “ I cannot understand how you could possibly think that I would spy upon you under any condition with any other man, .ynda, you and I have been through too much together not to believe in each other now, and I want to tell you that nothing, nor no one, could have made me believe what I saw the other night. “All my life—ever since I could distinguish living from mere exist- ence—you have been a part of it, and I sometimes wonder if it were just egotism on my part to think that I was a part of you as you have been a part of me. “Lynda, I think the giving up of you would not be so bitter, if it were an honorable man that was asking for you; but don't you see that 1 cannot reconcile the girl whom 1 have always held above every other woman on earth to the humiliation and grief that will be yours if you let Ralph Armitage take you and eventually crush your fragrance and beauty and throw you away as he does the flower in his buttonhole that he enjoys for the moment?" Lynda dropped the letter on her desk. She found she was stfll hurt that David did not believe in her sincerity. Why could he not under- stand that she was trying to work it out just the same as he was? We all long and try for happiness, and if she found that she could be happier with Ralph than with David, why was it not all right for her to choose? Then it came to her that if she chose Ralph, she would have to give up David, and she could hardly think of life without David. 8he had always told David everything, and she would have told him about Ralph if he would have let her. The more she thought about it, the more convinced she was that Emily An- drews had made the trouble between them. Rhe snatched up the letter again. 8he wanted to know if David mentioned Emily. Bure enough he did, in the next paragraph she read: “I tried to get you at home and at the office. Emily Andrews told me it would be useless to look for you anywhere but at the hospital, and 1 could not telephone there, 8o I am leaving town without secing you. T have resigned my position with Armitage & Son. “I expect this is good-bye, Lynda, and although I write the word with the rest, yet it means something very different. Good-bye has such an ir- revocable ending sound. T feel as though one of us were dead.” There was nothing signed to the letter. Lynda told herself that David had ended it as abruptly as he had sometimes ended one of his visits when their discussions had reached & stage when both knew they would never reach an agreement. After she had read it over again, she lost all inclination to write Da- vid—even to thank him for saving her feelings about the check. Bhe picked up her other letter, listlessly, and found it was a rather formal note from Mr. Armitage ask- ing her if she wonld stay in the tage. She was just going out again when Lynda opened her eyen. For a moment Claire could see that she did not quite know where she was, but quickly she smiled and blushed. You think T am silly to wear Ralph's flowers as he asked me to, don’t you, Claire?" “No dear, if you intend to accept him as vour lover.” “Shall 1, Claire?" “The very fact that you are asking my advice about it wonld make me feel that you should not do so.” “Whi Claire came and sat down by Lynda. “My dear, T know what it means to have your name coupled with that of a man who the whole world knows has a wife.

(TO BE CONTINUED) COTTON HAKERS N LENGTHY MEETING Consider Means of Ending New Badlord Strike New Bedford, Mass., Sept. 5 (®— A lengthy meeting of the advisory committee of the New Bedford Cot- ton Manufacturers’ association was held last evening to diacuss a pro- position to confer with textile labor leaders on the possibility of a strike settlement on the so-called exten- sion system. John Sullivan, president of the association, declined to make any statement at the conclusion of the meeting which was attended among others by Willlam M. Butler. Pres- ident Sullivan’s only comment Was that the committee would ask sev- eral further questions of the citi- zens' mediation committee today. The so-called extension plan con- sidered by a committee of the mill organization was advanced by the citizens’ -mediation committee, an organization made up of prominent business men in an effort to break the strike which is now entering on its 21st week. Details of the plan have not been divulged except to some of the tex- tile union leaders and mill man- agers, but it is known to involve consideration of an effiicency pro- gram whereby production will be increased #o0 that wages will be at a higher level than they were before the 10 per cent reduction, Five textile councll pickets were arrested at the Whitman mill gates last night when they refused to dis- perse. They were charged with loitering. L4 Young EIfWill Not Join Mounted Police Del Monte, Cal, Sept. 5 UP— Cortland T Hill, 22, son of Louis W. Hill, chairman of the board of directors of the Great Northern railway, will return to Yale for the fall semester instead of joining the Northwest Mounted Police as was reported a few days ago. “I admit that I thought about joining the mounted police,” said young Hill. “It would be wonder- ful training, but I haven't the time, I have to finish school. As for re- linquiching my American citizenship, | that's the last thing I'd do. Why, it's a joke.” The statement was issued at the Pebble Beach home of the Hill fam- ily to put an end to reports that young Hill intended tb take out British citizenship papers to serve with the famous police organiza- tion.

Unable to reach an agreement on a slate of candidates to be backed at the democratic state convention in New Haven, Saturday, the lecal delegation dropped the umit vote for the first time in many years at a caucus last night. Although favored by 13 of the 17 delegates, Willam E. Thoms, Wa- terbury aspirant for the nomination as governor, failed to corral the en- tire delegation on & second ballot taken in the expectation that Thoms' great lead would result in & complete switch to him. Charles G. Morris of Newtown and New Haven, twice the party's candidate, received four votes. It was made plain that the opposition to Thoms was pre- dicted upon a desire to deny him the nomination this year because of his refusal to accept it two years ago when, the democratic leaders felt, chances of party success were slim. 16to1 A vote taken to determine wheth- er Augustine Lonergan, former member of the lower house, should be favored for United States senator over P. B. O'Sullivan, resulted in 16 votes favorable to Lonergan en- dorsement and one opposed. It wac then proposed that . the delegation agree to go to New Haven with the unit plan in mind, but that a caucus be taken on all votes and questions before the _convention at which time any delegate would be privileged to break away. Fourteen livered, whereupon Mr. Leeney sald that he was anxious to aid the local candidate, but would remain stead- fast in his advocacy of the nomina- tion of Thoms for governor and Lonergan for senator. i Mr. Farley, who had at first fa- vored a unit vote, withdrew and an. nounced that he would prefer to vote as he saw fit without being bound. Mr. McDonough expressed & view that the unit vote would be a mistake. Mesars. Farley and McDon- ough are busines associates of Mr. LeWitt, the candidate. After Mayor Paonessa had spoken in f sentiments had been seconded by others present, Mr. Farley remarked that it appeared to be A Lonergan delegation and he proposed a vote by ballot to determine if it was pos- sible to deliver a unit vote for the Hartford man, One objector pre- vented such a vote. 13 of 17 Favor Thoms On the next ballot the name of Thoms was proposed for endorse- ment, and by a 13 to ¢ vote this was rejected. Mr. Dunn then proposed the unit vote with caucuses at the convention hall, but this failed of passage when three protested. When it was found impossible to fix & slate discussion turned to the cstablishment of headquarters and it was voted to empower Chairman Mangan to make arrangements for this feature. Following the state delegation meeting, those who will represent New Britain at the congressional convention were called to order, and on motion of Richard O. Bchaefer, former Mayor Joseph M. Halloran was elected chairman of the group, Mr. Schaefer was elected secretary. A motion to have this delegation vote as a unit was proposed by John J. Walsh and it was unanimously approved. S for Moore Edward O. Kilbourne, who at one time was a member of the achool board, spoke at length on the quali- fications of Jesse *Moore of Farm- Ington for the first district nomina- tion for congress. Kilbourne express- ed a conviction that Moore was the strongest man in the district and eminently fitted for the post. He did not wish to propose endorsement so far in advance of the convention, however. Chairman Halloran and others spoke favorably of Moore's qualifjcations for the office, no other candfate appearing to have support. Although no motion was put, it seemed assured that Mr. Moore would have the entire 17 votes.

They were transferred from the Detroit, Wwhich had brought them from Ireland, in a gaily decorated tender at 7:30. Mr, and Mrs Kel- logg went finmediately to their suite where they were served dinner. The great liner, largest of the American merchant marine, weighed anchor and steamed out of port at 10:30, SILK INDUSTRY SCORED Swansca, Walcs, Sept. 5 (P— Workers in the artificial silk indus- ry are subject to various physical ill effects as a result of their labors, the Trade Union congress heard to- day. As a result of the allegations the congress passed a resolution calling for the home office to inves- tigate the causes of disabilities of workers in the artificial silk indus- tries, and demanding that the dis- favored such a proceeding and three were opposed. A unanimous vote be- ing required to bind the Jelegation, it was necessary to drop this plan. George LeWitt, attorney and school board member, who is a can- didate for secretary of state, will be backed by the 17 delegates. Mangan Delegation Head Judge William F. Mangan, state central committeeman for this dis- trict, called the meeting to order. On nomination of James R. Hal- loran, the committeeman was elect- ed chairman of the delegation. On motion of Chairman John E. R. Keevers of the democratic town committee, Attorney David L. Dunn was elected mecretary, On Mr. Keevers' motion, Mlz. Nellie McCrann was made vice chairman of the delegation. Attorney P. F. McDohough was made a member of the resolution committee on motion of Willlam J. Farley, On motion of Mr. Keevers, Coun- cilman Frank.L. Conlon was placed on the credentials committee. Mr. Keevers was elected to the permanent organization committee on Mrs. McCrann's motion. Endorsement of the candidacy of Mr. LeWitt for secretary of state was voted on motion of Attorney Dunn. Isency Opposes Unit Vote Mr. Keevers next moved that the delegation vote as a unit and the discussion began when John K. Leeney emphatically refused to be bound by any such vote, declaring it was his desire to vote for certain candidates and that he proposed to do 0 as long as they remained in the field, irrespective of any unit votes. “1 will not be bound by any unit vote. We saw what happened in Madison Square Garden four years ago when some of the delegates wanted to vote for Governor Smith and couldn’t do so because of a unit ve'o " Mr, Leeney explained.

G. Woods nolled the charge of evading responsibility in the case of Willlam Gray, aged 27, of the same address. Gray was arrested last Wednesday on a war- rant issued by Mr. Woods, after charges of driving without a license and evading responsibility had been nolled in Greece's case. Greece took the blame for an accident on Allen street but after being in a cell for a while he told the police that Gray was at the wheel. Without Greece's testimony the state was powerless to prosecute Gray, there being no other witnesses. Greece's whereabouts were unknown to the authorities to- day, and it was rumored that he had | left the city, Gray's automobile struck a car which was jacked for repairs on Al | len street, near Carlton, last Tuesday | night about 9 o'clock, and the driver did not stop. The registration was noted, however, and Greece was ar- rested when he sald he had been driving. Jupge W. F. Mangan rep- resented Gray. Drives Without License John Kragiel, aged 40, of 29 Law- lor street, pleaded guilty to the charge of driving without a license and was fined $5 and costs on rec- ommendation of Prosecuting Attor- ney J. G. Woods. Frank Bubrowi- sky, aged 42, of 97 Broad street, who was charge in the same case with cvading responsibility, had the charge nolled. Officer Thomas Blanchette testified that the -cases were the outgrowth of an accident on Broad street about 12:30 Sunday night and Kragiel admitted that he had no license. Attorney Lawrence J. Golon asked the court to take into | consideration the fact that Kragicl | was once a licensed driver and at the time of the accident he was con- | sidering the purchase of the car. He was technically guilty as charged, the attorney admitted. Drunken Driver Fined $100 Victor Regales, aged 21, of 91 Jubilee street, pleaded guilty to the charge of driving while under the influence of liquor, and was fined $100 and costs with a suspended jail sentence of 10 days, on recom- mendation of Mr. Woods, who nolled the count of evading responsibility. Attorney Thomas F. McDonough represented the young man, who was arrested on August 30 on Hartford avenue. Withholds Wife's Mail Silvio Giomonti, aged 35, of 95 Mitchell street, charged with breach of the peace and assaulting his wife, Annie, was warned by Judge Roche that disturbances such as occurred Sunday must cease.
