"Jim!" I gasped. "The ring! The
ring isn't in the box. It's gone!"
"Nonsense, it isn't gone." said Jim.
rising and coming around to rrv side
of the table. "It couldn't be gone. It
•uust have rolled out of the box when
bertha dropped it."
Suiting his action to the idea. J:m
t.ropped to his knees and crept across
the rug. examining every inch of it.
I followed his example and began pok
ing around in corners. Bertha fell to
moving tables and chairs peering un
der sideboard and serving table, -vring
ing her hands and muttering to herailf
is the unavailing search progressed.
We went over and over the same
ground, the way people do when they ve
lost something and refuse to believe
facts. We turned back the edges of
the rug, rolling it so far that no ring
could never have gotten under it to the
distance we investigated. We moved
furniture out of place and into it
again. We fairly tore the room to
pieces, while our soup stood cooling and
congealing.
Finally Jim got to his feet, his face
grave, his eyes dark and remote.
"I'll look in the living, room. x'vu
and Bertha stay here and go over this
room again." he said.
The minute he left the room Bertha
turned to me and began screaming in
a high, shrill voice, such as I had never
dreamed my quiet, self-effacing maid
possessed:
"You think I took it! It's always
a poor girl like me gets blamed when
things happen. And now, witli tilings
the way they are, you'll be sure to put
it on me. But I tell you I didn't see it.
I don't even know what it is you've
lost."
Up to this moment I had never con
sidered the possibility of a theft. It
certainly hadn't occurred to me to sus
pect my kind, considerate Bertha. But
lier protests made me nervous. I was
glad when Jim returned and took
tilings into his own hands.
"Bertha." he said quietly, "I don't
want to frighten you unnecessarily, but
a very valuable ring belonging to Mrs.
Harrison has been lost. I have sent for
a detective. Is there anything you
would like to say before he comes?
Mind, I'm not accusing you of any
thing. but you must see for yourself
how it looks."
Bertha burst into sobs and begged
me to examine her at once.
"I didn't do it," she sobbed. "But
the police wtil put it on me sure. Oh.

FRIDAY EVENING,
Mrs. Harrison, won't you take me Into
your room and search me yourself?
Honest, I didn't touch the ring 1
didn't even know there was a ring. It
couldn't have been In the box when
you sent me for it."
"How did it get out?" asked Jim ju
dicially.
"Wait a minute." I interrupted.
"There are two things we must clear
up at once. You did know there was a
ring. Hertha, for when you asked me
to come into the hall I was wearing it.
and you watched me while I put it in
the box. But until we sent you for it
just now you weren't alone with the
box—and other people were. Come
with me and I'll search you. if you pre
fer that to the detective's supieions."
Bertha insisted on a minute exami
nation of everything she was wearing.
She even pulled down her long, fair
hair and made me tap the heels of her
shoes and feel my way around the hem
of her dress. The search revealed noth
ing. Suddenly she flung herself at my
feet.
"Oh, Mrs. Harrison, they'll pin it to
me sure!" she sobbed. "The reason I
was leaving and wouldn't tell is like
this. I am married—and my man's a
crook. He's served two years for a
second-story Job and he gets back to
night from the river. I was leaving you
because I like you so well. I didn't
want to stay here and let him come to
me for fear he'd gone onto the place
like ho did my last one and—and take
things. That's why I was going. Now
do you see why the police will fasten
this to me? Oh. Mrs. Harrison, I love
my man even if he is a crook. But I
ain't one. Help me, please, if you love
your husband, help me."
I put my hand out and helped Bertha
to her feet. I was impressed by her
wild sincerity. I felt rather than be
lieved that she had nothing to do with
the theft—if theft it was—of my ring.
Yet what else could I think?
I myself had replaced the ring in its
box an hour before. During the time
that intervened, the box remained on
my livingroom table. Besides Bertha,
two other persons had been alone with
box and its contents—Daisy and Carl.
Unthinkable to suspect Carl, my dear
old pal. Then if Bertha was innocent,
as indeed I felt and believed, whom, ex
cept Daisy, was there to connect with
the disappearance of my ring!
Through my mind there flashed
Daisy's envious expression when first
she saw the ring. Again in my ears
rang her bitter words:
"Kverything's for you. An adoring
husband. Jewels. . . • You—you
matter to every one. Can't you leave
Carl alone?"
I I remembered Daisy's mad rush to
get out of my apartment. But then
Carl. too. had rushed away—out of
town. My braip whirled. Bertha's eyes
were fixed pleadingly on my face and I
! had to say something. So I pulled my
self together and answered her plea
j for help.
j "Bertha. I do believe you are inno
! cent. I'll tell that to the police."
I "Don't let them hold me! Don't let
I them hold me. If I don't go to our
| meeting place to-night, my husband
| will come here and then I won't have
i a chance in the world. And he'll go up
j the river again—or worse. For I think
I he'd kill anyone who laid hands on
j me," cried the girl wildly.
Then there was a knock at the door.
"The police," shrieked Bertha and
j flung herself wildly at my feet. "I never
| touched the ring. Don't let them take
I me. If I don't go to meet my man to
j night I can't answer for him—or for
I what'll happen."

The telegram to the President fol- .
lows:
"The executive committee repre- 1
senting the various international un- |
ions in the iror? and steel industry
met to-day to consider the'awful sit- j
uation which exists in many of the
Iron and steel industry centers. The i
coercion, the brutality, employed to !
prevent men and unions from meet- j
ing in halls engaged, upon private
property in the open air: the thug-;
gery of the corporation's emissaries, ;
the wholesale discharge of numbers
of men for no reason than the one ;
assigned that they have become j
members of the union, have brought
such a situation that it is exceed- j
ingly difficult to withhold or restrain '
the indignation of the men and the ,
resistance that they declare it is
their purpose to prevent.
"The executive committee, rely
ing upon the case as presented to l
you last week and your earnest dec- '
laration to endeavor to bring about j
a conference for the honorable and
peaceful adjustment of the matters;
in controversy, have thus far been
enabled to prevail upon the men not J
to engage in a general strike. We |
can not now affirm how much long
er we shall be able to exert that in- (
fluence, but we urge you, even in
the great work ir? which you are en- 1
gaged, to give prompt attention to j
this most vital of issues, for, if the
men can no longer be restrained, it J
is impossib'e to foretell what the i
future may hold in store for an in- •
dustrial crisis which may ensue and
frustrate the project which you
have worked at for peaceful und •
honorable adjustment of industrial
affairs in our country.
"A meeting of all presidents of the
twenty-four international unions in
the steel industry has been called to
take place on Tuesday, September
9, in Washington, D. C., .to take such
action as they may deem necessary. ■
May we not have your reply on or
before that time as to whether or
not" a conference with the steel cor- (
poration is possible?"

] Allies Will Not Pledge
! Themselves Not to Take
Further Steps Against Huns
Tiy Associated Press
Washington, Sept. 5. The text'
of the ultimatum from the Peace!
I Conference to the German Govern
; ment demanding elimination of the
provision of the German constitu
; tion providing for Austrian repre
sentation in the German Reichsrath j
i was made public to-day at the State ,
Department.
It asserts that in ordering an ex- i
1 tension of their occupation on the j
; right bank of the Rhine in event the |
: demand is not complied with within l
i fifteen days from September 2, the
| Allied and Associated Governments
i will not pledge themselves not to
i take further measures to force com-
I pliance with the terms of the i
I'cuce Treaty.
A summary of the ultimatum was
contained in press dispatches from!
Paris, September 2. The full text |
follows:
i "The Allied and Associated Powers j
have noted the German constitution, i
; August 11, 1919, and have noted that j
! the provisions of the second para- j
graph Article 61, constitute a formal
violation of Article 80, of the Peace j
Treaty, signed at Versailles June 28, I
1 1919.
( "This violation (paragraph 1, Ar
i tide 61) by stipulating the admis
sion of Austria to the Reistag as- |
: similates this republic to the Ger-!
man lands (Deutscher lander) which I
I compose the German empire, the
I assimilation of which is incompatible
(with the independence of Austria
j (paragraph 2) by admitting and
| regulating the participation of Aus-
I trla in the irryierial council, the
article creates a political bond and
['political action common to Ger
i many and Austria in absolute con
tradiction with the independence of
i the latter.
I "Consequently the Allied and As
sociated Powers, after having re
' minde dthe German Government
.'that Article 178 of the German con
stitution declares 'provisions of the
'Treaty of Versailles cannot be af
fected by the constitution' request
the German Government to take due
measures to suppress this violation
immediately by declaring the second
paragraph of Article 61 null and
void.
"Without pledging themseslves
not to take further measures in case;
of refusal, and by virtue of the j
Treaty (notably of Article 4281) the j
i Allied and Associated Powers de
clare to the German Government j
that violation of its pledges on ea- |
sentlal points constrains them, if |
their Just demand is not complied
with within 15 days from the pres-I
. ent time, to order at once an ex- j
tension of their occupation of the |
right bank of the Rhine."
Hold Final Meeting
on German Peace Pact
By Associated Press.
Washington, Sept. s—The foreign i
relations committee to-day held '
what Chairman Lodge had an- 1
nounced would be the last hearing |
on the German treaty. Represen- j
tatives of Italian societies and oth- 1
ers presented Italy's claims on Fi

! Representative La Guardia, Re

later service with the American
Army in the same region.
To sustain Italian morale during
the war, Representative La Guardia
said he had endeavored to interpret
for them nine points of the Presi
dent's fourteen points, that relating
to self-determination. He told the
Italians, he said, that self-determi
nation meant for them restoration
of all Italian peoples to Italian sov
ereignty, including those of Fiume.
Representative La Guardia said
the President had "blue penciled"
the so-called Tardieu compromise
regarding Fiume and that a subse
quent agreement reached by France,
Great Rritain and Italy had been
forwarded recently to Washington
for the President's approval.
Professor Alexander Oldrim, of
New York, chairman of the Italian-
American delegation appearing be
fore the committee, made a lengthy
statement of the basis of Italy's
claims to Fiume .and certain Dalma
tian territory, contending that not
only self-determination of the peo
ple of Fiume direct that course, but
that adequate defense of Italy de
manded annexation of this territory.
Germans Send Reply
to Note of Allies on
Austrian Representation
By Associated Press
Berlin, Sept. 5, (via Basle). —The
German reply to the note of the
Allies with regard to representation
of Austria in the German Reich
rath says the German peace delega
tion informed the Allies on May 2 7
that Germany had no intention to
modify the Austro-German boun
daries by violence, but could not
undertake to oppose a German-
Austrian spontaneous desire for
union with Germany.
The Allies acknowledged receipt
of this communication on June 16,
the reply continues, and therefore
Germany felt authorized to insert
article 61 to the constitution.
The Supreme Council of the Peace
Conference on September 2 sent a
note couched in forcible terms to
the German government pointing
out that Article 61 of the German
constitution conflicted with article
80 of the German peace treaty for
bidding German interference in
Austrian affairs. The article in the
German constitution referred to
provided for the representation of
Austria in the German Reichrath
and the council demanded suppres
sion of this article within a' fort
night. declaring that otherwise the
Allies would be compelled to un
dertake further occupation of the
left bank of the Rhine.

enemies, he continued. "Where
these enemies are not Germans they
are sided by Germans, who are urg
ing the Bolsheviki forward in every
way to embarrass Poland. Our new
Government, with limited supplies
and little clothing for its Army,
finds the situation desperate. Such
leaders as General Von Luttwitz,
military governor of Brussels under
German occupation and other widely
known generals have been entrusted
with the task of crushing Poland,
but that will not be possible if Po
land can get speedy relief. Until
the German Treaty is ratified, we
cannot get the foreign troops neces
sary to stabilize the situation and
hold the plebiscites in sections of
ceded territory. In the meantime,
Polish workmen are being beaten,
abused and killed by German troops
in Silesia. The Poles are eager to
rush into Silesia to avenge the
wrongs inflicted on our countrymen,
and it is difficult to restrain our
people, who are stirred daily by
blood-curdling stories of German
atrocities told by refuses.
Fomenting Disorder
"In the Baltic States of Russia, the
Germans are fomenting disorder and
lending assistance to the Bolsheviki.
On all sides we arc forced to face
this new war that Germany is wag

determined to conquer Russia at any
cost and is making every effort to
hamper us in our battle against dis
