CHAPTER vii.

There's no sense in this-none
whatever" Coast spoke for the first
time in twenty minutes or SO. Where
in thunderation am |, anyhow"
He stood In thought, pursuing his
underlip between a thumb and fore
finger, wits alert to detect the clue to
his bearings that was denied him, for
all that the fog had thinned per-
ceptibly within the last third of an
hour. This much he knew and no
more: that he was lost.
AS from d great distance came the
muffied mourning OF the blind dog.
Coast shivered Il can't stand that"
he said irritably, and plunged On in
desperation.
started up out Of the mist-bound earth,
low stone wall, grey where it was
not green with lichen, and ran off in
land. diverting the path to keep 1t
company. Some distance farther on
a second wall, counterpart Of the 9th
er, fntersected 1t at right angles. Here
was a primitive stile. Coast climbed
over and continued, following the
thinly-marked, tortuous trail across a
wide expanse of rolling, semi sterile
treeless upland, thickly webbed with
other footways.
Unexpectedly a rail fence sprang up
across the path. Beyond it a company
of indistinct blurs uncertainty shad
owed forth what he took, and what
the event proved. to be farmhouse
with outbufldings.
Encouraged. Coast climbed the
| fence and addressed himself to the
| farmhouse, coming inevitably first tc
| its main entrance, the kitchen door;
| which stood Hospitality wide, reveal
| ing an interior untenanted but warm
| with recent use.
| Coast did not enter, but mOveC
round toward the front of the house
his footsteps noiseless on the sod.
By the corner he stopped as though
| he had run against an invisible bar
| rier.
Ten feet distant a woman stood II
the gateway of a fence Of palings
Half turned away from him and more
SO that only the rounded curves O
cheek and chin We're visible, she
seemed absorbed in pensive medita
ton. One hand held the gate ajar
the other touched her cheek with slen
der fingers. She was dressed plainl,
to the verge Of severity: a well-tailor
| ed tweed skirt ending a trifie abov,
ankles protected by high tan boots
a blouse of heavy white linen with
deep sailor collar edged with blue
sleeves rolled well above the elbow
revealing arms Drowned, graceful ant
round; for her head no covering othe
than it's own heavy coils of bronz
shot with gold.
Coast was conscious of a Tightening
in his throat producing a feeling 0
suffocation, of throbbing In his ten
pies like the throbbing Of a muftie'
drum. In a trice he had forgottel
everything that had passed up to tina
moment; even the haunting though
of the murdered man dropped out Q
his consciousness; he was unable t
entertain the faintest shadow Of
thought that did not center about thi
woman, not line Of whose graciou
pose, not a tress of whose matches
hair, not tint of whose wonderfu
coloring but was more intimate to hi
memory than his own features.

character.
Usually the work in a steam laun-
dry is not seasonal, but a rush" period
may be suddenly caused at any time
by the receipt OF large orders from
various sources. and such periods are
quite frequent in establishments as
large as those which were inyesti-
gated. IN their effort to defeat the
l0-hour bill the laundrymen, through
their chief spokesman, declared that
about so per cent Of the laundries
worked more or less in excess of Ii
hours a day. at least once q week,
throughout period ranging up to 20
weeks. OF the 8 laundries investigat-
ed in Chicago, had busy season
which lasted from to IS weeks,
though in 3 of the laundries the weeks
were not consecutive. Three Of the
bIishments did not have a busy
season. Only about "A per cent Of the
112 laundry women who made indivi-
dual reports worked longer than so

these women depend upon the nature
of the occupations, and consequently

before the days work is done. Ma
chine ironing is probably the occupas
ton which is attended with the great
est strain, because the action of the
machine is regulated by foot lever.
The managers Of some Of the laundries#
investigated endeayor to relieve the.
strain by having improyised platforms
for the girls to stand upon, SO that N
using the foot lever the girls step
down instead Of up. Il

ola study published in Bulletin No
81 of the Bureau of Labor, Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor. The
article presents the results Of an IN
yestigation by the Bureau into work
ing hours Of women in certain indus
tries in Chicago during the busy sea-
sons of 1908 and 1909 before the recent.
1O-hour law was put into effect, and
compares the number of hours work
ed at such times with the number
worked when business is normal.
Fifty-seyen establishments, employ
ing nearly $500 women. in seven IN
dustries were studied, and zoos wo-
man employees furnished personal
data. OF the total females employed
in the seven industries, 6O4 were under
1s years of age The eleven paper-box-
making establisments investigated
employed 1863 of the children and the
eight establishments engaged in candy
making employed 1853 of the remainder
However in Illinois, no child under
16 years of age may be legally en-
ployed longer than hours day IN
any industry. The article treats only
Of females Is years of age and over.
In the eight candy factories investi-
gated it was found that the ebay week
was the rule in the season of normal
activity; but during the 'rush" season
in some of the establishments the
employees worked from to 8 hours
ON Sunday, in addition to working L u
to IA hours on the other days OF the
week. The duration of the busy sea-
son is from 8 to 16 weeks, and many
women are unable long to withstand
the fatigue of these hours through
that period. Of the 499 women who
reported, 8 worked s21s hours during
a single week of the rush season and
1873 worked u to IS hours. The pre-.
yailing system of payment is on q
piece-rate basis, and this evidently
explains in part why any Of the en-
ployees are willing to work such long
hours.

One firm reported having worked its
employees 7S hours during the first
rush week and So hours during the
second, and on the day Immediately
preceding Christmas Day kept them at
work as many as IA hours. In the ms
ljority of cases the stores keep open
at least three nights every week, ana
four keep open on Sunday morning.
The most strenuous work falls in the
two weeks just before Christmas, and
| a study of the hours reported by in
ldividuals will give fair idea of the
strain upon these women employees
during that time. Out of the 100 wo-
men exporting, 80 gave 80 hours or
more as the number worked during
the week before Christmas, and only /
lof the SO had worked fewer than 7211s
hours the week before that. Eighty
leight out Of the 100 worked more than
20 hours the week before Christmas,
and only % of these had less than 20
hours the week before that. Out of the
100, 10 reported working only between
so and 20 hours these two weeks. OF
the 100. 20 girls worked IA hours or
more the day before Christmas, and
l59 out of the 100 worked Is hours OF
more the day before Christmas. Only
Is worked less than IL hours on this
day. and 2 of these were in store

O'Clock on Friday, since Christmas
happened to fall on Saturday in 1909
These stores are open at night, appaT
emily, because of competition rather
than because of the needs of the Gus
toners, and the consensus of opinion
among the experienced saleswomen is
that the people could be educated TO
do their shopping during the day
rather than at night and on Sunday.
In a few of the stores the girls are
advised to sit down when not busy,
but in the larger number the girls have.
no seats furnished them and are often
lafraid to use the packing boxes which
they hunt up.
