Answer to Saturday’s Cross-word Puzzle:

CONVENTION POSTPONED Mine Workers Not to Meet Here Till Next Year. This year’s international convention of the United Mine Workers, which would have been held here the later part of this month, has been postponed a year by a referendom of miners, Stanley Garrison, assistant editor of the United Mine Workers Journal, said today. The miners voted to postpone the parley, he said, because the wage agreement, made with operators at Jacksonville, Florida, a year and a half ago still has a year and a half to run. Wage agreements are the most important part of any convention.

the story to Barbara. She sees Manners leaie town suddenly and reports it to McDermott, who tells her Lydia Stacy was the person who gave him the first tip on the matter. Barbara is sent to interview Bruce on the crash of the Vale Acres project and meets him in the crowded hallway of his office. NOW OO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXVI. _ ARBARA stood in front of K him, but he. only looked ■ down. At length he started and raised his eyes to her face. He said nothing. “Bruce,” she whispered at last. At the word, he drew back. In an instant he had turned abruptly and gone back into the office, closing the door in her face. Barbara almost staggered as she turned away. In the front hall, the crowd had disappeared. She opened the door of the Manners, Stone and Reynolds Company and found a throng inside. The balu little Mr. Stone was standing on a desk trying to talk. Barbara pushed through to the front row. Stone recognized her. He leaped from the desk and seized her wrist. “Come Into my office,” he whispered. “I want to talk to you.” ”Ix)ok here. Miss Hawley," he stammered, “don't blame me for not talking last night. You know how these things are. An ounce of publicity will destroy what chances there are of recovery. I still think we and have come through if the damn press had let us alone. I beg your pardon, but 1 sometimes swear when I am excited. "You see, Reynolds and I never smelled a mouse till two days ago. Reynolds went to Chicago to try to get a loan to help out. Manners gnust have guessed we were on to him and decided to skip before Reynolds got hack. I'll swear we never thought he’d do it. In fact, we had the goods on him so straight I thought he’d, not dare to make a move. “But Reynolds and I are innocent In this. And if the public isn’t too bloodthirsty, maybe we'll save a scrap of reputation yet. You’ll try to help us?” “I’ll try to write the truth, Mr. Stone,” she answered. “But. I can’t color it, for you or anybody else. Will Mr. Reynolds make a statement?”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

“He will if you can catch him,” replied the man. "But my guess is that he's gone home. He looked so sick this morning that we tried to keep the crowd away from him. He’s probably sneaked out the back door.” Barbara went down the inner corridor and knocked at Bruce’s door. Nobody answered. She tried the knob. The door was locked. She left the suite by the rear door and went back to the newspaper office. She went to her desk and sat down to write her story. x “Have you a good hot story for me, Miss Hawley?” asked Wells, leaning over her shoulder. “I’ll give you what facts I could get." Barbara spoke coldly. H*'“" — l ER mother was sitting up in bed when Barbara reached L__j home. The fever held color In her cheeks and an unnatural sparkle In her eyes, but she looked better. “HI, there, tmtmsy,” cried Barbara, throwing down a bunch of long stemmed roses. “See what I've brought you!" Mrs. Hawley picked one up \rlth caressing fingers. "Why did yoi do it, Babs?” she asked. .“You have so many just now. It worries me frightfully. Have you heard anything from my lawyer? I ought to have an accounting of my affairs soon. I'm afraid I'm a poor business woman." Barbara looked away. ‘‘There’ll be time enough for an accounting after you get well.” she evaded. "Just enjoy those roses now and don’t scold me for bringing them to you.” She ran into her own room to dress for dinner. It was about 10 o’clock when the doorbell rang loudly. Barbara rushed to answer it before It should wake her mother. She had spent the evening over her bills and her head was aching violently/ Jerome Ball stood at the door. "Hello. Babs,” he said gaily. “Came by to make peace and to ask you out for a spin. Bob tells me you're having hard lines right now, sickness, and everything." Barbara looked at him coldly. "It wasn’t necessary for you to come.”

OUT OUE WAY—By WILLIAMS

Jerorrje brought out a long box. It bore the name of a florist. “Something for the sick room,” he said, Barbara melted. The box was full of white roses and lavender sweet peas. “How nice of you, Jerome!” she cried. “This just about makes up for everything. Mother will love them.” She ealled the nurse and sent the flowers upstairs. “You look dead to the world,” said Jerome. “Won’t you Hde around the block with me, for a litle fresh air before you try to sleep? I really want to talk with you.” "I'll go,” she smiled, "but only for a few minutes.” The night air brought relief from the throbbing in her head. They drove in silence for some time. Jerome did not speak of the escapade that had ended their last ride together. Barbara had made up her mind to forget it. Jerome suddenly stopped the car. He put his arm carelessly around her shoulders. Barbara drew away. “I lust wanted to tell you,” he said, “I'm going to be married.” mBROMK leaned hack against the steering wheel and wafehefl Barbara. She said nothing. “Well, aren't you going to congratulate me?” Barbara replied, “Yes —but Isn’t it a little hard on the girl?” “Isn't what a litle hard?” Jerome stared at her. “To let her pin her faith on a man like you?” Jerome chuckled as he started the car again. "Oh, well,' he remarked, “you didn’t find me so altogether repulsive before I told you. Or, at least. If you did, you concealed it pretty well.” "Please take me home." answered Barbara, between clenched teeth. Jeroitie only chuckled again. The roadster wheeled around the corner. Barbara's hand was on the car door. She looked down the street and caught her breath. Every light In the Hawley house was burning. Before the car had stopped Barbara was out of It and up the steps. The front door slammed while Jerome still sat staring after her. She met Mrs. Bryan and Mrs.

Goodhue in the lower hall. The night nurse came down the stairs. The three women stared at her solemnly. Mrs. Bryan advanced and put her hand on Barbara’s arm. “Don’t take it too hard. It won’t do any good to go' to pieces.” Barbara’s hand flew to her mouth. She slipped to the. floor. • • EHE doorbell rang. Barbara started nervously, Mrs. Bryan ran to answer it. Andrew McDermott stood in the door. “Why, come in, Mr. McDermott,” criecLßarbara, ‘catching sight of him and running t<s meet him. “I’m glad you’ve come.” The man took her hand. “Thank you." he said. “I felt it wouldn’t be an intrusion." Barbara shook her head. “There’s never been a time when I needed my friends more,” she said. They entered the living room. “It was very soon to come,” said McDermott, “but I thought you might be glad to have someone. I needn’t tell you how sorry the Telegraph people all are, Barbara.” She smiled bravely. “No, you needn’t,” she said. "I do warjt to talk to you, though,* about your plans for the future. Perhaps my friendship for your father combined with my interest in you .will prevent it from being an impertinence." He was smiling his whimsical smile. Barbara smiled back. “You see, Mrs. Hawley. I know that you are In great danger of some sort of nervous crash unless.you stop short and get anew start. And the Telegraph can’t afford to lose you, even for-a short illness. You see my motives are partly selfish —like most motives.” Barbara listened gravely. “What have you planned for the future?” continued McDermott. Barbara told him of the new apartment. He nodded. “That’s a good idea. This house is no place for you now.” Barbara glanced around the room. "It’s the only home I have,” she said. “But I couldn’t bear it without mother. And I couldn’t afford to keep it up either. I’m rather hard pressed financially just now.”

McDermott leaned back In his chair. “That’s another thing. You are earning more than we’re paying you. But we can’t stretch the budget any farther this year. I wish to heaven we could. I don’t believe in paying a cent less than my workers earn. But a budget is a budget, you know, and the powers that be are Implacable. “Now I’ve plan that,will help you on that score, but will help me infititely more.

Perhaps you do not know, either, that I have an 18-year-old daughter who Is in a boarding school In Chicago. “Frances has finished her course at school and will soon be on my hands. I have not a woman relative to place her with. Neither do I want to put her in the care of an ordinary hired chaperon.

ing that you take her into your new apartment with you on a fifty-fifty basis. You’ll find her pleasant company and I shall be tremendously relieved to have her with you. She Is going to study dramatics this next year and I want her to be here in Indianapolis. YVhat do you say?" Barbara considered a moment. Then she smiled up at him. "It’s a go," she said. “Even if I didn’t want to, I’d do It for you, Mr. McDermott. You’ve been so kind to me. But I really think It is & good plan, anyway. You mustn’t expect me to be a regular dragon duenna, however. I’m not constituted for one. But I will keep my eye on your little girl and let her be as happy as possible. I think it will do me good to have her, too.” McDermott smiled. He took her hand and rose to go. “Thank you,” he said. "You’ve solved my problem for me, and I hope it will solve yours, too, to some extent.” As he was leaving he said, "Don’t try to come to work tomorrow. Miss Hawley. You’ll need the day to see to the moving.” (To Bo Continued)
