Gains of one to three roints wera, reg- istered by the popular industrials such as minor steels, motors and {heir specialties, tobaccos. textile and about a score of un- classified issues, including prices in the final dealinfs, but the net result again sugzested an overextension of the bear position.

They said at Fortner's and outside, teo, that Loie Glyn moved quicker tham mest people comdd think and that, ske could wait on two customers te anybody else’s one. i Loie had been at Feriner's three years.

They had four rooms close to-Fortner's, and Mrs. Glyn kept them and made Loie’s clothes and her own when she was well enough. Loie dreaded “milk check” Saturday. Especially she dreaded having to wait upon old Mr. Shad. ‘When the saw Him worming his avay through the crowd toward her, she shud- dered with aversion. He was so ugly, bis worn fur coat smelled so horribly of cow and there was tobacco juice in his ‘white whiskegs. The other girls refused to wait wpont Mr. Shad. Loie had be- gun to wait upon him out of pity, and new he would have no one but her. “There's your lamb!” Ella Landis nudged Loie maliciously. “He's got his eye on you already. Better look out. Some day he'll kidnap you and carry you home in the pocket of that old fur coat” “Oh, don't” Loie murmured “He'll hear you” She glanced up with a left, she and her mether were alle to smile.

She defily wrapped a dozen small articles into a neat parcel and tied st and shoved it across the counter to a dingy woman who had a roll of bills as big as Loie's wrist The sight of so much money made the girl sigh.

Mr. Shad began to eonsider & He held it up to the light, he whistled under his breath, he asked twenty-nine ques- tions concerning it. He was taking a lot of time. Three times Mr. Fortner cast a critical eye at Loie, three ‘times Lucky G1 the little bell that called a clerk rang, and once he came by and spoke to her sharply. “Most through there, Miss Glyn?* Loie was beginning to be scarlet but she knew it was useless to try to hurry old Mr. Shad.

Ella Landis, slipping behind her, pinched her. “Morgan Wright and his mother have ecome in and 'm going to wait on them. Don’t you wish you were me?” she whis- pered.

SOVIET EUSSIA CONDEMNED BY ORGANIZED LABOR ‘Washington, Feb. 27.—Organized labor throughout the world, especially 4in the United States, is urged to raise its voice in protest against the “ruthless persecu- lina and salughter of labor unionists” in soviet Russia in an appeal issued here tonight by the Amercan Federation of Labor. “Let the soviet savages know what labor of the civilized world thinks of their bestial system.” the appeal declares. “Let every labor organization in the country respond.” “Let the soviet savages know what la- bor of the civilized world thinks of their bestial system.” the appeal declares. “Let every labor erganization in the country respond.” The federation’s declared that after “tricking” labor into support- ing the soviet regime, Trotzky and Le- nime, its leaders, began ‘“carrying out their threats of extermination of the leaders of Jabor and peasant parties and also of so-called ‘hostages.’ ™ The appeal cites at length a list of charges against the soviet regime, de- claring that it has established a system of “slavery” made long hours and Sun- day work compuisory, and has forbid- den strikes, “There has probably never modern times or in statement been any counmtry,” the statement congcludes, “a more ruthless persecution afl dslaughter of labor union- ists than that which is now taking place in what the Norwegian labor party calls ‘barbarous soviet Russia.'

Feb. ?7.—Firemen fighting a Dlaze in Village street here today discovered the body of a woman lving on a bed in one of the flame-swepr rooms.

Frank Pertillo. who lved with the wo- man, was arrested later by the police and charged with the murder. He is 60 vears old and also is known s Frank Grippo. The prgice believe him te ba mentally unbalanced. Pertillo denied that he murdered the woman, who was his sister-in-law. He told a rambling story of having left the house early this morning und gone to East Hartford. where he had several boats on the Conpecticut river. He said he knew nothing of the murder or the fire until he returned home. The pris- oner attempted to throw himself down tne stairs in the police 'station and also knocked his head against the wall in his cell. A guard was put in his cell to watch him.

When presently * Morgan and his mother approached her she kept her eyes upon the calico and pretended not to see them. XAt that moment old Mr. Shad came to a decision. “Wa'al,'Igttle gil” he drawled in his loud voice, “I'll take half a yard of that there. Eliza just wanted 'nough to fin- ish out them blotks she’s piecing. And here's something to pay you for your trouble” He laid a box on the counter before her. “It's just one of them young Plymouth Rock roosters that Eliza dressed for ye.

It has been discovered that the water may be sufficientiy backed up to greatly increase its efficiency as it passes along by a dam of pliant ropes, which can not be objected to by the land owners along seen. Mr. Fortner was glaring. She wanted to hide under the counter, away from all those eyes, and especially that coldly bright smile of Morgan Wright's mother. Ella Landis was having 2 spasm of giggling at the cash register. Oh, it was awful! And yet, somehow, when she looked up into the old man's face she was touched. He was evident- ly waiting for her to sgy something kind and she said it. Her voice came low, but clear and very sweet. “Thank you, Mr. Shad. And please tell Mrs. Shad that I thank her, tco. I'm enly too glad to wait upon you at any time.” And then something unbelievable hap- pened. Morgan Wright put his cor- rectly ulstered arm about Mr. Shad's mangy fur shoulders and drew a!l the attention to himseif by so deing. “Hel- lo, Ebenezer!" he cried. “How are you?
