that a delegation of the payroll men

"Send them In" was the curt COM

office was about three-fourths filled
up with shuffling crowd Of p. s. l..
men.
The chief looked the crowd over.

noon, brought Ripley.
1.-THE conditions all along the line
are almost revolutionary" was Rip
ley's summing-up of the situation.
Generally speaking, the public Is not
holding us responsible as yet, though
of course there are croakers who are
saying that ii Is entirely railroad

do anything to interfere with the new
graft"

consult you once more about those

"If Hatch breaks the conditions,

was the confident rejoinder.

ended in a gasping chuckle. When the

guess Mr.. Norcross wasn't left
wholly In the dark when the tramp
ing footballs of the committee died
away In the corridor. That uninten-
tional mention of Mr.. Van Britt's name
looked as If 1t might open up some
more possibilities, though what they
were / couldn't imagine, and / don't

After that, things rocked along pref

going right back 20 the Office from

the smoking-room and filed a pipe.
In the course of few minutes, Major

"Have you seen or heard anything
Of COllingwood since yesterday"
The good old major shook his head.
They're tellin' me that he's oveh in
his rooms at the Billiard, drinkin' him.

past redemption, sub, he would have
had the decency to get out of town
befo' he turned loose all hollis that
way; he would. for fact, Graham"
At that, Mr.. Norcross explained in
just q few words why Collingwood
hadn't gone-why he couldn't go.
Whereupon the old Kentuckian looked
graver than ever.
"That than spells trouble, Graham.
Hatch is simply invitin' the unde'-
takeh. HOWE isn't what you'd call
dangerous man, but he is totally ir-
responsible, even when he's sobeh."
"We ought to get him away from
here" was the boss decision. "He

didn't hear what the major said
to that, because little Rags, Mr.. Per-
kins' office boy, had just come In with
a note which he was asking me to
give to Mr.. Norcross. / did it; and
after the note had been glanced at, the
chief said, kind of bitterly, to the
major:
you can never fall so far that you
can't fall little farther; have you
ever remarked that, major?" And then
he went on to explain: Perkins, our
Desert Division superintendent, says
that the locals of the various rail-
road labor unions have just notified
him of the unanimous passage Of q
strike vote-the strike to 20 into eff
feet at midnight"
"a strike?-on the railroad? Why,
Graham, son, you don't mean It'll"
1.-THE men seem to mean it-which
Is much more to the purpose. They
are striking In sympathy with the
G. s. &. w. employees. I fancy that

railroading definitely, major. Dunton

have to take one now. The bottom
