CHAPTER VI

What Every Man knows--
I wasn't gone very long on this Sec
ond excursion into the woozy-woozies,
though it was nighttime, and the
shaded electric light was turned on
when I opened my eyes and found
Mrs. sheila sitting by the bedside.
The change In Mrs. Sheila sort Of
made me gasp. She wasn't any less
pretty as she sat there with her hands
clasped in her lap, but she was DIFF
ferent; sober, and with the laugh, all
gone out Of the big gray eyes, and a
look In them as IL she had suddenly
become, so wise that nobody could
ever fool her. ~
"You are feeling better now?" she
asked, when she found me staring at
her. a
told her guessed l was, but that
my hand hurt me some.
"You have had great shock Of some
kind-besides the burn, Jimmie" she
rejoined, folding up the bed covers SO
that the bandaged hand would rest
easier. ".The doctors are all puzzled.
Does your head feel quite clear now
so that you can think?"
1T feels as IL I had crazy. clock
in It," I said. "But the thinking part
is all right. Have you heard any
thing from Mr.. Norcross yeti"
"Not word. We have been hop
ing that you could tell us something
when you should recover sufficiently
to talk. Can't you, Jimmie?'
Remembering what Maisie Ann had
told me just before went off the
hooks, ! thought l might tell her a
lot If I dared to. But that wouldn't
do. So just said: u

Mr.. Norcross. He left the Office some
little time before did-with Mr.. Rip
ley. ! didn't know where they were
'"They went to the hotel" she helped
out. "Mr. Ripley says they sat in the
lobby until after ten o'clock, and then
Mr.. Norcross went, up to his rooms .
OF course, I knew that Mr.. Ripley
knew all about the Hatch ruction !;
but If he hadn't told her. I wasn't go
ing to tell her.
There was some trouble In con-
5nection with Mr.. Hatch that evening,
wasn't there?" she asked.
"Hatch had some trouble-yes. But
;I guess the boss didn't have any," I
|. replied. 3hE It.
'Telf me about IT." she commanded !;
and I told her just as little as could !;
how Hatch had had an interview with
the boss earlier In the evening, while
fI was away.
1T wasn't quarrel?" she suggested.
"Why should they quarrel?" I
asked. a
She shook her head. "You are spar

/ could, but I didn't want to. Mr..
Van Britt didn't know anything about
the Sand Greek siding hold-up, or I
supposed he didn't, and l didn't want
to be the first one to tell him. Beaides,
the whole business was beside the
mark. Maisie Ann knew. ana knew,
that the boss. strong and unbeatable
as he was In other ways, had simply
thrown up his hands and quit because
somebody had told him, that Mrs.
Sheila had husband living. So Z
just said: ,'..
"Nothing that would help out" and
after he had talked q little while
longer our only millionaire went down.
stairs again.
It's so funny how things change
around for a person just by giving
them time to sort of shake down into
place and At themselves together.

Here was another chance for me to
get off with a whole skin. but by this
time I was completely lost to any
sober weighing and measuring Of the
possible consequences. Leaning across
the desk end gave him final shot,
just as he was getting up to- go.
Listen. Mr.. Hatch" said. ".You
haven't fooled me for single minute.

word that passed between you and

ing to drive into me began to take
hold, just a little, in spite of what I
knew-or thought knew. Was 1t
barely possible, after all, that there
had been foul play Of some sort?
\ In the first place. something had
been done to me by somebody: 1t was
a sure thing that I hadn't crippled and
half-killed myself all by my lonesome.
Then they had said that the boss
stayed up with Mr.. Ripley that night
until after ten o'clock. and had then
gone up to go to bed. That being the
case, how could anybody have got to
him between that time and the leav-
ing time Of the midnight Fest Mail to
tell him about Mrs. Sheila7
Anyway 1t was stacked up, It made
three-cornered puzzle, needing some
body to tackle it right away; and
when finally went to sleep 1t was
with the notion that, sick or no sick,
was going to turn out early In tho
morning and get busy.
was well enough to get up the next
morning, and when phoned to Mr..
Van Britt he sent his car out to the
majors to take me down to the Office.
Just before left the house, Mrs.
Sheila waylaid me, and after telling
me that I must be careful and not
take cold In the burnt hand, she put
in another word about the boss dis
appearance.
II want you to remember what I
said last night. Jimmie, and not let
the others talk you over into the be-
lief.tiat Mr.. Norcross has gone away
because he was either discouraged or
afraid. He wouldn't do that: you
know 1t, and I know 1t. We are his
friends, you and /, and we must stand
by him and defend him when he isn't
here to defend himself"
It did me good to hear her talk
that way. l had been sort of getting
ready to dislike her for letting the
boss get In so deep and not telling
him straight out that she was mar
ried woman and he mustn't; but
when saw that she was trying to be
just as loyal to him rs I was, 1t pulled
me over to her side again.
Though the boss disappearance was
now four days old. things were still
in sort Of daze down at the rail-
road Offices. Mr.. Van Britt, being tho
general superintendent and next In
command, had moved over into the
boss Office, and Fred May was doing
his shorthand work. They wouldn't
let me do anything much-I couldn't
do much with my right arm in
sling-so had chance to hang
around and size up the situation. IL
you want to know how It sized up,
you can take 1t from me that 1t was
pretty bad. People all along the line
were bombarding Mr.. Van Britt with
letters and kilograms wanting to know
what was going to be done, and what
the change In management was go
Ing to mean for the public, and all
that. You see. Mr.. Norcross had laid
out mighty attractive program in
the little time he had been at the
wheel, and now It looked as IL 1t was
all going to be dumped into the ditch.

her from the flock at the one time in
the year when she is likely to produce
something in return. This is not the

production" says Geo. W. Hervey OF
the Missouri Agricultural Extension
| Service. eff the flock was not culled
last summer it is a mistake to Gull
Just at this season because the Gull
hens are now wide open and produc-
ing eggs along with the good hens in
the flock. Having been fed all winter
these hens might better be kept in the
flock until culling season ONE again
this summer. 1t is a paying propos-
ition to retain as many hens as pos
sible during the spring laying
months. while culing for egg pro-
duction cannot be done in~telligently
Just at this season it is wise to make
up a special breeding pen. There are
understood hens that should be elm

type of head that is demanded in a
vigorous breeder. Birds with colds
have no place in a breeding flock.
