/ THIS HAS HAPPENED #ybil Thorne, Boston soclety girl, has scandalised her little world by having a baby and failing to pre- sent ita father. Sybil was quite y married, but there are a great many people who decline to believe it. She married Richard Eustis dur- ing a vacation in Cuba. They met on shipboard and were married after an acquaintance of five days. Two weeks later Sybil left him for great and serious cause. She meant to keep the marriage secret, until such time as she might quietly se- cure a divorce. But, to her dismay, she learns she is going to have a child. Passionately rebellious at firat, she loves her baby wildly from the very moment of his birth. Before her marrfage to Eustis Sybil had been informally engaged to Craig Newhall, who has loved Per devotedly for years. Before she knew Craig there had been another man—John Lawrence, who went to France with the A. E. F. and never returned. He sailed on the eve of | his contemplated marriage to Sybil, and left her thoroughly heart- broken. Meantime Mabel dearest friend, weds and Sybil is matron of honor. < he reproaches herselt for having ne- glected the baby during the prep- arations for Mah's wedding. CHAPTER XXXIII Sybil held her baby on her lap, and twisted his yellow ringlets into Blake, Sybil's| Jack Moore, e an awful, clamuy feel- “as if something dreadful was going to happen to him.” i She clutched him to her heart, and held him so tightly that he| cried in fright, and dug Lis small | fists against her face, to free his little body from her embrace.

It was, for instance, his adorable way to slip his soft, baby hand into the hand of one or in- other of his worshipping relatives. He was an affectionate baby and unusually demonstrative. ‘When he was tired he liked to be held, and, with one hand clutching his own yellow curls, would lay the other confidingly against the cheek of the person who held him. her purple shoul- Christmas came, and Teddy, at eight months, was iovelier and more winsome than ever. Tad brought home a small tree in the back of his car, and it was Valerle who begged to decorate it. She hung the baby's stocking, and bought him toys enough for a dozen children. Then between Christmas and New Yegr's she sold her pleated silver crepe—only slightly mussy —and her scarlet Russian blouse to Dolly Weston for $42, and pur- chased with the proceeds a broad- cloth baby coat of rosy taupe with & beaver coliar. “You muatn't, strated Sybil. “Why not?” ghe demanded. love him more than anything.” Val!” remon- Y After the holidays Mabel phoned. “gybil dear,” she pleaded, ‘“‘you simply must help me find an apart- ment.

And passion, that burns itself out. Infatuation, t'.at comes to its senses after awhile. And compatibility, on which all permanency must be founded. Good old-fashioned affection, with- out speeches and furbelows.” “Then WHY, my dear, if you believe all that, don't you marry Craig?"

Managua, Nicaragua, Oct. 4.— (UP)—Four murders, believed to be of political origin, ocurred on the night of September 30 at_ 8an Marcos about 45 miles southwest of Jinotega, it became known here to- day. The four men miiPdered were propagandists for the liberal party and one of them was Juan Carlos Mendita, a prominent lawyer of Managua. None of thq bodles gave indica- tions of robbery and this led authorities to belleve that the murders had been committed as a result of the tension of the presi- dential race. Only the barest details have reached Munagua, owing to the poor communications from the inland. Neither the marine headquarters nor the American electoral cémmission has received official advices of the murders. The electoral commission an- nounced, however, that the murders | had not affected the registration in- asmuch as they had been committed far from the voting areas. Meanwhile the registration con- tinues heavy, Wednesday was the fourth registration day and while no figures were available, there was a | good turnout. There were no dis- orders reported. Both the liberal and conservative parties claim good majorities, but indications were that the registration was running very close.

CODLIDGES BOARD TRIES 70 AVERT STRIEE Makes Another Effort Today to Stop Walkout of Western “Trainmen. Chicago, Oct. 4. UP)—Efforts {ot President Coolidge’s mediation board to avert a threatened strike of 170,000 western trainmen were re- jsumed here today with trainmen scheduled to give additional testi- mony regarding thelr alleged grieyances, The railroads will not present their side of the controversy until after the unions have finished, it | was announced by Kenneth F. Bur- gess, attorney for the general man- agers conference committee of the western railroads. Evidence was offered yesterday to show that trainmen employed by 65 western roads were underpald in comparison with those in the east and south. This claim was challenged by Burgess, who told the board that the unions had failed to consider, in presenting their figures, the fact that several western railroads had | scales over the standard rate and the fact that increased wages were in effect on many roads through in- creased speed of train operations.
