Attorneys Disagree.
Samuel Untermeyer disagreed
with Morris Hillquit, who is assO'
dated with him as strikers' counsel,
as to the value of the use of the in
junction by labor in its fights against
employers. .. v
"As a life-long champion of labor,
Mr. Untermever said, "I believe in
the wisdom, judgment and efficacy of
the miunction m labor difputcs.
While agreeing that the decision
is an important mo.al victory for
organized labor as a whole and stat
ins: that it "was an act ot just re
tribution and poetic justice to hurl
one of such missiles against its in
ventors," Mr. Hillquit contends
union labor can never adopt this
means as a continuously effective pro
cedure against the employers. '
Can Find Way Out.
"Injunctions against employers
never can be as drbstic a those is
sued against labor, he said. ,
He contends that the employers'
organization, smaller in numbers than
those of the workers, can easily find
ways of circumventing the prohibi
tion. .
"One of the principal merits of
the precedent established in this de
cision, lie said, is that it will tend
to make injunctions less popular with
employers. I hope it will lead to
the eventual complete abolition of
judicial interference in labor dis
putes by means of injunctions."

The Shadow of Death.
-"Things for Josh!" she aiJ
b!ank!y. V
"Vc. pott wine and stuff. I
don't know what there is in he
lioti-e, but you can come along and
hce."
lie led the way across the hail,
and she followed; the was dumb
with sheer atnacment: she could
only stand by as in a dream as he
tanarkcd the well-filled larder and
parked a basket.
A cold fowl and a jelly, two bot
tle of port and some grapes.
"Oh, have you always got things
like this in the house?" she asked tt
last with a gasp,
N'othard looked amused.
'I suppose so," he admitted. "I
don't believe I've ever been in the
pantry before!"
They went back to the study, and
a few minutes later a taxi drove up
to the door. Ninette was watching
Nothard now with fascinated eyes;
the dreamlike, feeling was beginning
to wear off and she realized that this
wonderful happening was all true.
She was going home in a taxi, and
he was going with her; they were
taking all sorts of delicate food for
Josh, and now he would soon get
well, and be able to go about again;
she was all eagerness to be gone.
When they were driving away she
leaned forward, staring into the
darkness with strained eyes.
"He'll wonder where I've been,"
she said half to herself. "Oh, I do
hope he won't have missed mel"
She turned suddenly to the man be
side her. "Is it very late?" she
asked. .
"About 10," he answered.
"Then I've been out hours and
hours."
"We sfiall soon be there now," he
told her.
But it seemed an eternity to Nin
ette. When at last the cab stopped
in the ' street where they lived she
sprang out and rushed into the
house.
Nothard, following, stumbled after
her through the dark, narrow pas
sage and upstairs, carrying the bas
ket. He was amused at himself, though
he knew perfectly well that then
was nothing to be amused at. The
darkness and heavy atmosphere of
the house oppressed him; somchov
he had never realized that people
had really to live in. such surround
ings. His life had been rather a sel
fish one more from force eof cir
cumstances than any real desire on
his part to make it so.
Beyond a married sister he had
no relatives in the world,' and did
not want any; he was exceedingly
well off, and wrapped up in his busi
ness; he had never troubled much
about his fellow creatures.
But there was a vague sense of
shame now in his Heart as he climbed
the stairs and followed Ninette into
the back bedroom above.
He could hear her movi'iisr about
in the darkness, could hear her say;
"Wait a minute while I find the
matches."
He heard the 'tspurt of a match on
the box, and by the flickering cand!$
light for a moment caught the pale,
anxious silhouette of her face before
ihe turned swiftly to the bed.
"Joshl" '..' , - -
Nothard put down the basket he
carried and crossed the room softly
till he stood beside her.
He began to say something about
"Sorry to hear you're ill, Wheeler."
but the words died in his thrpat as
Ninette gave a strangled cry, "Joshl
Josh!"
Nothard caught the candle as it fell
from her hand; his own nerves were
haken as he shaded the light ana
bent over the pinched, sick face on
the pillow. ' .
Ninette need not have feared that
Josh Wheeler would have missed her,
for Josh Wheeler was dead!
There was a moment of tragic
silence, then Northard put the candle
down on the table beside the bed and
touched Ninette s arm.
"Come away," he said hoarsely
"come away!" ; . '
He saw that she had not really
understood what had . happened.
though the first glimpse of Wheeler's
pallid face had wrung that strangled
cry from her; she stood there, bend-
nig a Jittie over him, her hand on
ns shoulder. ...
"Conic away," Northard said again.
She turned then and looked at him
across her shoulder, and suddenly her
eyes dilated and she began to shak
es she read the shocked compassion
on his face.
Twice her lip's moved before she
could frame any words, then she
said in a cracked, difficult voice:
lies dead, isn't he?"
"Yes." It. seemed the kindest
thing to tell her at once, but the
scene he had expected never follow
ed. She gave a great shudder and
for an instant shut her eyes.
"Dead Josh!" she whispered with
hite lips.
Nothard put an arm around her
and led her away; she came quite
unresistingly, walking like' a figure
asleep.
At the doorway he stumbled
against the", basket of food he had
brought with him, and an angry
pang of remorse shot through his
heart, as he realized .how little he
had been too late.
This afternoon, when the girl
called at his office, he might have
been able to help her; he might have
teen able, to save Tosh Wheeler's life,
but now

She broke off with an angry cry at
Ninette slipped from Nothard'i hold
nd fell fainting at his feet.
CHAPTER VIII.
, A New Home.
Nothard went on his knee besids
Ninette and raised her head on hit
arm.
"Fetch some water, can't you?" he
shouted angrily. "Standing there
staring! If it's your precious money
you are afraid of, I'll lee you don't
lose it! I wonder you're not
ashamed to call yourself a woman!"
He bathed Niette's face, but shs
showed no signs of life.
"Lay her down flat, sir," the matt
suggested. "That's the way with
wimmcn in a faint, lay her down,
flat and rub 'cr 'ands."
Nothard did as he was told, not
because he believed in the advice,
but because" he was at his wits' end
to know what to do.
It was a pathetic scene the dark,
miserable hall, the drab woman, and
her husband, and Ninette, lying
there so white and helpless.
And suddenly Nothard knew how
impossible it would be to leave her
there all night with these people:
they would drive her mad with their
heartlessness and vulgarity, and with
pititui incongruity Ninette s . own
words came back to him.
He had a sort of idea of brinc-ine
me up as a lady; my mother was a
lady!"
Poor Ninette! Nobodv. had ever
called to Nothard for pity as she did
tnen, and with sudden resolution he
rose .to his feet.
I ve got a taxi waitincr outside
Help me carry her; I'll take her away
um unis nousc.
ine woman interrupted aeani
stiarpiy.
And what about niv monev? How
do I know I shall ever see it?"
She was not as utterly heartless
as she seemed, but life had dealt
naraiy with her and the greatest
thing in the world, to her way of
thinking, was monev: monev boueht
ncer and torgetlulness.
"If your husband likes to come
along with me I'll give him some
money," Aothard said harshly. "On
condition vou look after that noor
devil upstairs and behave yourselves."
Between them they carried Nin
ette to the waiting taxi and drove
away again through the darkness.
