"Say, what do you live on? Crabs

Thus was it all begun. After such a

even before the aberrant Lee came

them less so. The four, indeed, coal
esced spiritually from the first-there
were rides, walks. sails, grabbing par
ties, expeditions after for actual fresh
vegetables. An auto which had seen
many much better days wheezed about
with them or halted at it's convenience
Clarisse wrote hardly anything. She
had kept her word-Dare knew no
more of her penname than in the be-

find out from other bungaloafers-but
without kuccess-Nliss May wrote

Notwithstanding Dare found himself
fathoms deep in love. Clarisse had

More than 81 per cent Of the en-
gineers employed on sixty-one western
roads have voted in favor of a strike
unless their demands for raise .of
about Is per cent in pay and certain
notifications in the working condi-
ton are granted. The railroads had
made an offer of raise of about per
cent in wages, which was rejected.
The next move will be a conference
between the railroads and the brother
hood in an effort to reach a compro-
mise that will satisfactorily settle the
menacing situation. 1t is to be hoped
that the difficulty can be arbitrated
without resort to strike that would
be far reaching in it's effects. r
