she liked him, and the less she trusted
him. And she couldn't think of him with
out thinking of his ridiculous preten-
sions' in respect to Elizabeth
Besides this, Mrs Farnum had imagined
that, once real obstacle were placed in
Elizabeth way, she would frown, come
to her mother to be consoled and petted,
and then gaily throw the whole business
overheard. Instead of this program being
realized, the good lady awoke to realize
that her daughter was coming grimly,
unsmilingly home from the office, dark
rings under the eyes, silent, with her lips
set in a straight line of combat.
IN this predicament. Julia Farnum did
what was, for her, the ready-made thing.
She sent for Harvey Bowles. And, when
he arrived, she went straight to the point
with him, with that assurance of mother
who knows that, far from setting a trap
to catch an eligible young man for an
unsaleable daughter, she was putting
Harvey in the way Of accomplishing his
dearest desire. She said bluntly:
Beth is very respondent, Harvey. She
needs some one to cheer her up; to make
her laugh; to take her away from this
wretched business. I am very fond Of
you. So is Beth. l don't think you will

you, MIR. Rouss,' he commented gently.
"That's no mean block of stock you want
for your services
He sat back and put his thumbs to-
gether contemplatively.
"You see, Mr.. Rouss, he went on, after
a pause, "while | don't doubt that you
have the power to serve us at this mo-
ment,-and we make no secret of the fact
that we want Escutcheon, and want it
badly,-yet, on the other hand, why
shouldn't we wait little while longer. on
the chance that we can pick it up without
your help?'
Rouss leaped to his feet. His eyes glis-
tened with avarice and self-confdence.
Because he cried, "you'll never get
another chance at Escutcheon; not in
your lifetime! And I'll tell you why.
There's chap named Hyatt out there in
Farnumville whose power over Miss Far
mum is growing every minute. Damn
him, hate to admit it! But it is! I've
got him where l want him now. He can't
deal offhand with situation like this.
But you once let this strike be settled
let him have hand in the settlement of
lt-and you've got no more chance at
Escutcheon than jack-rabbit. He's the
fellow that got Miss Farnum into the
office; and, while his job depends on

at amounts to nothing" he replied.
@Give me good reason for doing it, and
I'll stop all that tomorrow. I've got
bone to throw them when the time is
ripe"
@Ah, then we might call the strike-to
use police expression-an inside job"
flashed back the man behind the desk.
"a sort of stage strike, eh?'
THE general manager flushed; but he
knew that sooner or later this fact must
have come out anyway, and he proceeded
boldly:
@If you want to call it that-yes. But
don't you believe for moment, Mr..
CASTOR, that am playing crooked
game. am looking out for myself, tell
you frankly; but have other authority.

Rouss looked around cautiously.
mo photographs here, assured CASTOR,
with tinge of sneer in his voice, "But
see it all clearly enough. Miss Eliza
beth is making nuisance of herself, with
these notions of being business woman

ness isn't all one sweet song. Clever,
cleyer!T and possibly ethical. Very
well. We come to another important
question.

mum 'sreturn to her social circle, we will say.
You have some other purpose, suppose,
besides returning the young lady to an
atmosphere more fitted to her charms?"

that business capably, and you all know
it. | want to continue, with fuller pow
ers. Furthermore, want some velvet.
It's only just. want something to work
for besides a salary. When the business
is reorganized under your control, l want
to have that much reason for plugging my
head off"
As he spoke, Rouss slipped piece of
paper under Gaston's eyes, and sat back,
like gambler who has risked his whole
pile on one turn.
CASTOR looked at the figures, and raised
his eyebrows.
"You have brought your nerve with

let her quit? | tell you, this is the psy-
Geological moment, Mr.. CASTOR. She's
worn out, overworked and discouraged.
It's moment that won't come again."
IL don't know but you're right re-
piled CASTOR. "After all, I'm acting, not
for myself, but for Bowles and the rest.
l dare say Miss Farnum, year from
now, will be glad we put the skids under
her. 1t doesn't seem quite-generous,
to say the least, but-yes, let it go at
that!
"Mr. Rouss, you claim to be able to
deliver Escutcheon at our figure, eight
hundred and fifty thousand. Very well;
go and do it. Convince Miss Farnum
that she should SELL Wire me to that
effect, and I'll come with the necessary
papers. accept your terms. My word
is good for that, SUPPOSE"
absolutely, Mr.. CASTOR replied
Rouss, trembling with delight.
@All right. Wire me the minute she
says yes. Wait! Women are changeable
particularly when they're doing some
thing they only half believe in. Perhaps
it would be better if should be where i
can get to her Office in hurry. Suppose
come to Regina. or some nearby place,
and have my car ready when you tele-
phone?'
"That's the best way agreed Rouss
"When | put through this thing, it'll go
fast"
Remember, though was Gastons
last injunction, "this must be open and
above-board. When Miss Farnum gets
ready to sell, she must have her counsel
there. We want Escutcheon, but we
don't want black eye-and black eye
is one of the easiest things for Trust to
get these days
The strike of the paper-makers was
something of shock to Julia Farnum,
in spite Of the fact that she was deter
mined to wrest her daughter away from
the business. 1t scared her little. She
had imbibed enough Of her husband
doctrines for the very word strike to
be forbidding and threatening. Also, she
now keenly regretted that she had made
herself even a ghostly partner of Samuel
Rouss.

mum? Is it unreasonable that they should

She looked at Hyatt, and then, because
she knew her eyes were going to fill and
run over, she rose and walked quickly to
the window
SAMUEL ROUSS was in New York at
that moment, truly; but he was in

Across the flat-topped mahogany desk,
swept clean of befogging details. sat an
astute-looking, white-mustached pink
checked man in late middle life, with the
alert self-repression of diplomat. and
the clear, persistent eye of good golf
player. He was regarding Rouss with
penetrating, understanding watchfulness
that embarrassed the general manager of
the Farnum Paper Company without rem
dering him timid. The man was Philip
CASTOR, and his position in the direction
of the Universal Paper Company was so
important that he scarcely had an official
designation. CASTOR was-Gaston When
CASTOR made decision, the thing was as
good as done.

Harvey Bowles, big, good-natured,
lazy, pleasure-loving, and pliable, screwed
up his mouth in a comical way and
replied:

"All right; I'll try again. was the
hopeful announcement 4But there's no
use believing in your strength if you can't
make any one else see it,
1t was gloomy enough at the Farnum
table when the three sat down. 1t was
evident that Elizabeth's thoughts were
elsewhere. At first she seemed quite OBJ
livious Of Harvey's presence. But the
young fellow, in spite of his annoying
languor and his apparent practical worth
lessness and parasitic existence, had the
saving grace of animal spirits. His laugh
was genuine and pleasantly uproarious.
He was bottomless well of amusing
small-talk. And once in while there

that showed he had clear, good mind

frightened. She had to laugh, in spite
of herself Very cleverly Harvey drew
her into the conversation, too; and
when they rose from the table, Elizabeth
was gesticulating and her voice was
vibrant with some of the old-time fun.
Mrs. Farnum listened approvingly.
Finally the two young people were
alone. They sat silently, for few min
utes, and then Harvey, perceiving that
Elizabeth was relapsing into her earlier
sober thoughtfulness, began nervously
II say, Beth, II want to come back

eyes. She laid hand upon his shoulder
and spoke very softly, but very clearly.

our own lack of ships. Now we
have a large army to supply In
France, many more men ready to
embark, and the shortage of ship
ping in more and more pronounced.
All the time that France was
pleading for ships to keep up her
ammunition supply, Italy was not
only pleading for ships and ma
terials, but was warning the allies
that unless she could get metals her
troops would be left fighting with
empty guns. The German spy sys-
tenn kept Germany informed of thes.
conditions in Italy, and that Is the
reason for the great German drive
into Italy. That is the reason why
whole divisions of the Italian
armies were moved down or sur
rounded and forced to surrender.
Where there was no ammunition,
the German troops could go up to
short range and NOW down their OPP
ponents so fast they could not even
get to use their bayonets in return.
/ Last spring there was movement
to build thousands of wooden ships
to carry supplies and troops to
I France, but. it was found that we
have no shipbuilders who know how
to do it. 1t has become almost a
lost art, this old-fashioned ship
building, and the plans that were
made for such construction were
condemned when real seamen got at
them. 1t was said we had plans and
specifications, for wooden ships that
would twist to pieces and sink in
the very first storm they got into

at sea. General Goethels, who was
appointed to take charge of the
work, refused to build such vessels,
and It all ended in row and in a
determination to build steel ships.
Henry Ford has been called in to
help them design dies and machines
for making the steel plates in great
quantities on the multiple plan the
same as he used in making the Ford
cars so cheaply and in such great
numbers.
In these various efforts, the
spring, the summer and the fall have
been spent without our being Of
much material aid to the allies, and
Germany's taunt that America would
not be able to get an effective fight
ing force into the war till she had
the others whipped, has a certain
amount of sting in 1t for us to reflect
upon at this time when we can only
boast of having performed valient
work against her submarines, neu-
tralizing their efforts at destruction.
America is coming into the war with
q might force, but she Is coming
slowly, and by the time we get in,
the others will be SO exhausted that
the main burden will be our to car
ry. The registration this week Of
all the women in America between
the ages of eighteen and sixty, fpr
service of any kind they can per-
form to help win the war, is an
other indication Of the stern need
for every individual to do his or
her bit in any way it can be done.
