given all the facts except the one
big one about Hatch's deathgrip on

the MIp of his paper to the last ditch
though, of course, he had no idea OF
how deep that last ditch was going 10
be. I had a lot of filing and inde1lng
to do, and kept at work while they
were talking. wondering all the time
if the boss would venture to tell the
editor about the depth of that last

he wouldn't until he had to.
It was pretty nearly nine o'clock
when the editor went away, and Mr..
Noreross was just saying to me that
he guessed we'd better knock off for

CHAPTER XVI
The Deserter

Mr.. Norcross chased out and tried
to overtake Collingwood, going as far
as the foot of the stairs. | went, too,
but got only far enough to meet the
boss coming up again. There was
nothing doing. The station policeman
had seen the crazy rOunder jump into
a taxi and go spinning off uptown.
There was another jolt waiting for
us when we got back to the Office
While we were both out, Mr.. Van Britt
had blown in from his room at the
foot of the hall and we found him
lounging comfortably in the chair that
Colingwood had just vacated.
II thought maybe you'd turn up
again pretty soon, since you'd left the
doors all open" was the way he started
out. Them "Sit down, Graham; |
want to talk a few lines"
Mr.. Norcross took his own chair and
twirled 1t to face the general super
intendent. "Say it," he commanded
briefly.
MIR. Van Britt hooked his thumbs
In his armhoes.
"I've lust been figuring a bit on the
general outlook: you have a decentiy
efficient operating outfit here what
with Perkins and Brant and Conway
handling the three divisions as self
contained units. You don't need 9
general superintendent any more thar

"What are you driving atf' wa
the curt demand.
"Well, suppose we say retrenchment

might Just as well be saving my salary
II would buy good many new cross
ties in the course of year"
"That's all bunk, and you know It,
snapped the boss. THE organization

Mr.. Van Britt laughed a little
@ that.
