cessfuliy. doubtless. had 1t not been for
q certain other plan. It was about the
middle Of the following morning that
this simpler method offered itseif-or
fate offered 1t. as you like---to Csrcy.
The superintendent had sent these
two. his strongest men. to pull an ex-
ira long crosscut saw through the
base OF giant poplar that stood In
cove across the river. The Little Pig.
con was here bridged by a trestle OF
round timbers which was fully nifty
feet in height. 1t was crude affair.
that trestle; instead Of being properly
spiked to ties the light steel rails were
spiked to heavy hcwn timbers that
ran lengthwise from capsill to cap
sill; the short distances between cap
sills were spanned by, short lengths of
Heavy boards. which served MS an
emergency walkway, AND these had
not been nailed down.
What more simple. thought Curcy,
than to shove the end Of one Of those
boards off when Guthrie was midway
Of it? There was hardly chance Of
his being seen. And even il ne were
seen, couldn't he say that he saw the
board slipping and tried to catch II?
He chose a board directly above n
bare ledge of stone and pushed 1t off,
and he did it very neatly. But in the
doing Of 1t he lost his balance, and he.
Zoo. fell through! The two men went
hurting down through maze OF
round braces. with their hands beat
. ing the air In vain attempts to catch.
1t was Curcy that struck first; his
great body made sickening sound
against the Jagged stones and broke
the force of Guthrie's fail.
.Curcy- was mangled almost beyond
hope of healing. but he was conscious.
He tried to lift himself to an elbow.
but failed. Guthrie had an arm out OF
place at the shoulder and a dozen less
er injuries; he sat up and turned his
bleeding face toward the man who
had been his bitterest enemy. Curcy
tried to speak and couldn't: blood ran
from his mouth. Guthrie bent over
Curey to see how badly he was hurt
'Tm-Tm all in. Bat" Curcy gurgled,
with an effort. II hope you can for

board"

that's all right. Sure. I can forgive
you, Mart
=, He felt for the others hand and
. pressed 1T gently. 1t was broken, and
even the slight pressure was painful,
but ,Curcy, gaye no sign OF 1t. There
were. tears in ,Guthrie,s eyes. y.,,.I a..
You get somebody TO come. Bat"
murfnured Curcy-"somebody to hear
and I'll confess and save you." -
II couldn't leave you like this" was
the quick reply. "I'll take you to
Camp. and Wen get a doctor. and may,
be he can AK you up all right. I'll

If Margaret could have remember

respectfully and if the proper use OF
the colons and semi-colons had not
been impossible to solve, she might
not have felt like misfortune's pet
child as she entered the boss private
office to take his dictation.
The day had started with series of
annoyances. She had forgotten to
wind her alarm clock, consequently
her breakfast had been nthe Chris
tan Science variety. There was q
bill for an overdue account from the
dentist, demanding payment, when
she wanted so badly flesh-colored
georgette crepe blouse to wear to a
party. The street car had been

crowded and she was compelled to
hang to strap all the way downtown.
That combined with her breakfast
less state had given her a bad head
ache.
"Take these letters, Miss Ryan,"
ordered the boss abruptly.
She seateG herself, notebook in
hand and pencil poised for action.
For half hour he dictated at top
speed and knowing his dislike to re-
peat she missed some very important
points. Industriously she typed her
notes until noon and then took the
letters to her employer to be signed.
After her lunch, consisting of ham
sandwich, a glass Of milk and a slice
of apple pie, her head still throbbed
painfully at the temples.
A peremptory summons into the
private office filled her with forebod-

THREE KINDS OF STRIKES.

THREE KINDS OF STRIKES.
When two unreasonable parties refuse to reach an
agreement their quarrel should be confined to them
selves aone it should be prevented from doing harm
to others But when two reasonable parties cannot
to an agreement it is time to look behind the scenes
for third party whose interest is to keep them quar-
reling This applies to labor disputes as well other
disputes. Sometimes both employer and employee are
unreasonable and do not seek agreement conquest;
in which their umeasonabeness ought not to be
permitted to Inconvenience loss to the public.
But there have been occasions when both employers and
employees reasonable enough to be able to reach
agreement and prevented by hidden influences,
1t should not be forgotten for a single minute that
though strike may loss of money, time and peace
of mind to all directly concernedo workingman
ufacturer and public-t does not necessarily the
same loss to everyone
There are interests that make money out of certain
kinds of strikes If these strikes did pay somebody
there would be fewer of them.
An analysis of the matter shows that there three
kinds of Industrial disputes.
First there is the justifabe strke-the strike for
those proper conditions and just rewards to which the
workingman is in all fairness entitled.
The pity is that men should be compelled to the
strike to get what theirs by right No American ought
to be compelled to strike for his rights, He ought to
receive them naturally easily, matter of course.
These justifable strikes are usually the employers
fault. Some employers not fit for their job. En-
ployment of men, direction of their energies arranging
that their reward shall be in honest ratio to their produc
ton and to the prosperity of the businessthat is
small job.
An employer may be unfit for his job, just as man
at the lathe may be incompetent The lathe man gets
into trouble with his work. and does the incompetent
employer with his Unsuitable strikes sign that the
boss needs another ob--one that he handle.
The unfit employer causes trouble than the unfit
employee You change the latter to more suitable
lob But the former must usually be left to the law
of compensation.
The justified strike then, is that need never have
been called if the employer had done his work he ought
But there is a second kind of srike-the strike which
may be named The Strike With Concealed Design. In
this kind of strike the workingmen are made the tools
of some hidden manipulation who seeks his own ends
through them Whoever this manipulation may L. his
designs will not stand the light
To illustrate this kind of strike Here is a great
industry whose is due having met public need
to it's efficient and skllful methods Of production, AMI
to its known record for just treatment of its wongmcn
Such an industry presents great temptation to specua
