Those who will be invited to attend this convention are the entire force of the Department of Labor and Industry, including the field workers scattered throughout, the State; the safety experts of "casualty, fire and life insurance companies doing business in the State of Pennsylvania; manufacturers of safety devices for use in factories, employers and employes representing, so far as possible, all of the important industries of the State; representatives of societies and clubs which have for their object the improvement of conditions of labor, the reduction of accidents, and such other citizens as may be interested in promoting the objects for which the Department was established. The Department has formally requested that this important gathering be held under the auspices of the Engineers' Society of Pennsylvania. This request was made to P. Herbert Snow, chief engineer of the Department of Health and chairman of the convention committee of the society. Mr.

Snow will doubtless have the request considered by his committee and transmit his recommendations to George S. Corn-stock, of 'Mechanicsburg, president of the Engineers Society, who will submit it for action by the membership of the society. There seems to be no doubt that the engineers' society will undertake this responsibility. As the engineers' society will in the course of a month move into the handsome new quarters on the corner of Front and Chestnut streets, Harris-burg, which it recently purchased, it will be particularly qualified to act as host to such a convention as the one now being inaugurated.

A she went out tbe gate the postman came In. and at tbe sight of another letter my heart again slunk off Into my slippers and my brain seemed about to back op In a corner and refuse to work.

In a flash it came to me that men oiishtn't to write letters to women' very much tbey really don't plow deep enoujrb; they just irritate the top suit I look this missive from Alfred, counted all the fifteen pages, put it out of sight under a book, looked out tbe window and saw the ginfier barber coming dejectedly around to tbe side gate from the kitchen 1 knew the scene he bad had with Judy about the bottle encounters of the night be fore Johnson shooed off down the street by Mrs. Johnson; saw tbe doctor's car go chucking bnrriedly in the jraraze. and then my spirit turned itself to the wall and refused to be comforted, tried ray best, but failed to respond to my own remonstrances with myself, and tears were slowly gathering in a cloud of gloom when a blue pinghnra. rompers clad sunbeam burst into the room. "Git your nightgown and your tooth bresb quick.

Molly, if you want to pack 'em in my trunk!" he exclaimed with his eyes dancing and a curl stand ing straight up on the top of bis head ai It has habit of doing when he i most excited. "You can't take nothinv but them 'cause I'm going to put in rope to tie the whale with when 1 ketch him. and it'll take np all the rest of the room Get "em quickT" "Yes. lover I'll get them for yon But tell Molly where'it is you aregoitip to sail off with ber in that trunk yours?" 1 asked, dropping into the game as I "have always done with him. nc matter what jrame of my own pressed when he called.

"On the ocean where the boats and run right over a whale Don't you remember you showed me them pictures of spout whales in a book. Molly? Doc says they come-right np by the ship and you can 'em shoot water. And maybe a iceberu too. Which do yon want to keU-r most Molly, a Iceberg or a whale'' His eager eyes demanded instant d-cision on my part of the nature of cap ture I preferred. My mind quickly re verted to those two ponderous and in" tense epistles I had got within tlv hour, and I lay back In my chair and laughed until I felt almost merry.

"The Iceberg. Billy, every time." i said at last "1 Just can't munagi whales, especially if they are ardent which word means hot. like i'v bergs or I think I should if 1 rnult catch "I don't believe yon could. Moll? but maybe Pr' will let you put a mp and a Iotis hook in his trunk to n-with if your clothes go into mine. Hi is a heap the biggest anyway anc Nurse Tilly said he oughter'put nothings in his.

but I cried and then h. went npstalrs and got out that littu one for Come see 'em!" "What do you mean. Billy?" I asked while a sudden fear shot all over like lightning. "You're just playim go away, aren't you?" "No. I ain't playing, he ex claimed excitedly.

"Me aDd you am doc is a-going across the ocean for long, long time away from here.

Ii won't be no fun-witbout you and you'c cry all by yourself with me gone." HI-little face was all drawn up with anxi ety and sympathy at my lonely estati with him out of it and a cry rose ui from toy heart with a kind of primi Ore savagery at what I felt was com lng down upon me. Witbout waiting to take him witl me or think or do anything but fee deadly, savagn anger, 1 hurried acros the garden and into Dr.

Moore's offici where he was just laying off his glove and dust coat "What do you mean, John Moore. (tiring daring to think you can go and 111 fesEi CopyrlStC, 1012, by the Bobba-Merrft Company 6 -o take Billy away from me?" I demand ed, looking at him with what mns' have been such fear and madness It my face that he was startled as hi came dose to the table against whicl I leaned. His face had grown whiti and quiet at my attack, and he waiti-to answer for a long, horrible minute that pulled me apart like one of those inquisition machines they used to torture women with when tbey didn't know any better modern way to do it. "I 'didn't know Bill would tell you so soon, Mrs. Molly," he said at last gently, looking past me out of the window into the garden.

"I was coming over Just as soon as I got back from this call to talk with you about it even if it did seem to intrude Bill's and my affairs into a day that that ought to be all yonrs to be be happy In. But Bill, you see, is no respecter of of other people's happy days if he. wants them in "Billy's happy days are mine, and mine are his, and he has the heart not to leave me out even If you would have btm!" I exclaimed, a sob gathering in my heart at the thought that my little lover hadn't even taken In a situation that would separate him from me across an ocean. "Bill is too young to understand when he is is being bereaved. he said, and still he didn't look at me.

"I have been appointed a delegate to represent the State Medical association at the centennial congress in London the middle of next month, and gome-bow I feel a bit pulled lately, and 1 thought I would take the little chap and have have a Yon won't need him now. Mrs. Peaches, and 1 couldn't go without him, could The sadness in his voice would I have killed me if I hadnt let it mad-! den me instead. "Won't need Billy any more?" I ex-I with a rage that made my voice literally scorch past 'my lips i "Was there ever a minute In his life that I haven't needed Billy? How dare you say such a thing to me? You are cruel, cruel, and. I have always known it cold and cruel like all other men I who don't care how they wring the life I blood out of women's hearts and are willing to use their children to do it with.

Even the law doesn help us poor helpless creatures, and you can take our children and go with them to the ends of the earth and leave us suf fering. I have gone on and believed that you were not like what the wo men say all men are and that you cared whether you hurt people or not but now I see that you are Just the same, and you'll take my baby away if you want to, and I can do nothing to prevent it nothing in the wide world. I am completely and absolutely helpless. You coward, you!" When that awful word, the worst word that a woman can use to a man. left my lips a flame shot up into his eyes that I thought would burn me up.

but in a half second it was extinguish ed by the strangest thing In the world for the situation a perfect flood ol mirth. He sat down in his chair and shook all over, with his bead in hi hands, until I saw tears'creep through his fingers. I had calmed down so suddenly that I was about to begin to cry in good earnest when he wiped his eyes and said, with a low laugh in his throat: "The case is yours. settled out of court and the 'possession nint' points of the law clause' works it. some- cases for a woman against man.

Generally speaking anyway, tbt pup belongs to tbe man who whls tie him down, and you can whistle Bil from me any day. I'm Just his fathet and what 1 think or want doesn't mat ter. Ion had better take him anc keep him." "1 intend to," I answered haughtil uncertain as to whether 1 had bette: give in and be agreeable or stay pre pared to cry In case there was further argument But suddenly a strange dif fjdence came into his eyes, and he look ed away from me as be said ia queet hesitating words: "You see. Mrs. Molly, I thought fron now on your life wouldn't have exact ly a place for BIIL Have you consid ered that you have trained bim to de mand you all tbe time and all of you How would you manage Bill and-and other claims?" LEAF ELEVENTH.

A Heart of Gold. there is a contagious thlnj: in this world it Is embarrass ment I never felt anything worse In all my life that I the 8 name that swept over me in i great hot wave when that look cam Into his eyes and made me realize just exactly what I had been saying to him about what and how I had said it i stood perfectly still, shook all ever likt a leaf and wondered if I would ever able to raise my eyes from the ground A diszy. nauseated feeling for myseli rose up in "me against myself, and was Just about to turn on my heels anc leave bim, 1 hoped forever, when hi came over and laid his band on shoulder. "Molly," In a voice that might have come down from beaven on dove wings, "you can't for a moment feel ot think that I dou't realize and appre date what you have been to the motherless little chap, and for life I am He's not like other men. and tbetH aren't any other men on earth but him All the rest are Just bugs or bats o-something worse.

And I'm not any thing myself. There's no excuse fo' my living, and 1 wish I wasn't si healthy and likely to go on doing tt It was all over, and there was nothin left for me to live for. and before could stop myself I buried my face in my hands. "Billy asked me to go with him on this awful whale hunt!" I sobbed out to comfort myself with the thought that somebody did care for me, regardless of Just how I was further embarrassing and complicating myself in tht affairs of tbe two men I had thought I owned and was now finding out that I bad to give up. I wish 1 bad been looking at him, for I felt him start, but he said In his big friendly voice that is so ranch and never enough for me "Well, why not you and Al come along and make it a family party, if that is what suits Bill, the boss?" If men woold just buy good, sharp kitchen knives and cut out women's hearts In a businesslike way it would be so much kinder of them.

Why do they prefer to use duB. weapons that niasb the life otrt slowly? Everything is at an end for me tonight, and that blow did it It wn a horrible cruel thing for him to say to mel I know-now that I have been in love with John Moore for longer than ray boner lets me admit and that Til never love anybody else, and that also I have offered myself to him served np in every known enticement and have to be re fused at least twice a. day for a year. A widow cant say she didn't understand what she was doing, even to herself, but my humiliation is complete, and the only thing that can make nif ever hold np my bead 1 to puanle hiin by by happily marrying Alfred Ben nett and quick! Of course he must suspect how 1 feel about him. for two people couldn't both be so ignorant as not to see such an enormous thing as my love for him is.

and I was the blind one. But he niiwt never, never knew that I ever realized it for be is so good that it would dis tress him. i must go on in my foolish way with him until 1 can get away. I'll tell him I'm sorry 1 was so indie nant tonight and say that I think it will be fine for him to take my Billy away from me with him. I most smile at the idea of having ray very soul am pntated.

insist that it is the only thing to do and pack up the little soul in a steamer trunk with the smile. Just smile, that is ail. Life demands smiles from a woman, even if sbe must crush their perfume from her own heart, and sbe generally has them ready. Ob. Molly, Molly! Is it for this you came into the world twice to give yourself without love? What difference does it make that your arms are strong and white If they can't clasp him to the softness and fragrance of your breast? Why are your eyes blue pools of love if tbey are not for his questioning, and what are your rose Hps for if they quench not his thirst? Yes, I know God is very tender with a woman, and I think be understands so if she crept very close to him anc caught at his sleeve to steady herself be would be kind to her until she could go on along her own steep way Please.

God, never let him find out fot It would hurt him to have hurt me! Some days are tike the miracle flow ers that open in the garden from plants yon didn't expect to bloom at all. I might have been born, lived and died witbout having this one come into my life, and. now that I have had it1 dont know how to write it except In the crimson of blood, the brae of flame tbe gold of glory, and a tinge of light green would well express the part I have played. But it is all over at last and Ruth Chester was the unfolding ot the first hour petal, and I got a glimpsv of a heart of gold that I feel dumb with worship to think of. She's God's-own good woman, and he made her In one of bis holy hours.

I wish I could have borne her, so she me, and th tenderness of her arms was a sacra ment We two women Just stood asidt with life's artifices and concealment and let our own hearts do the talking. She said she had come because shi felt that if sbe talked with me I might be better able to understand Alfred when he came and that sbe had seer that the judge was very determined and she thoroughly recognized ni force of character. We stopped tbert-while I gave her the document to read I suppose It was dishonorable, but I needed ber protection from It I'm glad she had the strength of mind to walk with a bead high in the air to Judy's range and burn it up. Anything might have happened if she hadn't And even now I feel that only my marriage vows will close up thf case for the judge, even yet he may-But when Ruth had got done with Al fred she bad wiped Judge Wade's ap preciation of him completely off An mind and destroyed It in tender burned ns both worse than JudyV lesser feeling for Dr. Moore will soon pass away, and tne aceora Derween you will be complete." This was more than I could stand, and, feeling less than a worm.

SNOW SURVEYED IN UTAH. Water Available for Irrigation Estimated That Way. Mountain snow is survey in Utah by the United States Weather Bureau for the purpose of determining early in March the probable summer flow of irrigation streams. The plan is to go into the headwater regions of streams whose water is fully appropriated, toward the close of the snow storing season, yet prior to the beginning of actual fanning operations, and determine by hundreds of systematic depth, density and water equivalent measurements of the snow, the amount of water stored which would subsequently flow to the serv ice of the valley irrigators. litis being determined, a precipita tion record at a representative place shows the amount of water added to the water shed after the completion of the survey; and a daily stream flow measurement at a flume, constructed above the highest water using farm, shows the daily depletion of the supply indicated by the survey.
