Winnipeg. New York and who knows
where not, stop hating each other
for anyhow a few hours and instead
they smiled and shook hands and
allowed themselves a recess in their
regular work OF winning strikes. los
ing strikes, shooting. starving and
cheating each other and their coun-

glad that Mrs Hawker and the baby
had got the pepper back home with
