courtyard he was surprised to see a

floor window poured smoke and fame
and that the town fire department. was
wildly getting into action.
He stopped. His heart almost ceas-

that group Cynthia Meyrick was a
member. For a moment they stood

| There was challenge in that last

Mad with the injustice Of life, he
swooped down on a fireman struggling
with a wabbly ladder. Snatching
away the ladder, he placed it against
the window from which the smoke and
fame poured. He ran up it.

department, laying angry hands on
the ladders base. "Wot you doing

him. His eyes burned He staggered
through the smoky dusk into another
room. His hands met the brass bars

| seized the something close and hurried
| back into the other room.
| A fireman at another window sought

He ran across the lawn and stood, q

close to him.

A shout from the firemen announced
that the blaze was under control. To
his dismay, Minot saw that an admir-

broke away and hurried to his room.
Cynthia MeyricI's final words to him
rang in his ears. Savagely he tore at
his ruined collar.

High cost of meats is playing havoc with the retail business. Hun dreds of markets all over the country are closing. Last year was bonanza period for both packers and retailers, as livestock was cheap and margins of profit wide. Where cattle sell at $11 or better, hogs at $9.50 and SlO and sheep and lambs at S9 and Sl2 per cwt. scarcity is indicated by the prices and neither packers nor distrlb- utors can amass wealth on a small volume of business.
