He reached over and took up
the paper. He preferred to read
it to her. than have her quick,
young eyes perhaps see more than
he had intended she should. Yet
after all he almost smiled at his

you that salary to work for Inc

a hand toward him.

A sudden resolution came to
Gertie not to refuse the raise, that

but to make him wait. lie mustn't
be allowed to think her cheap,
even if that horrid manager if his

''I'll think it over, Mr.. Rosen-
burg, and let you know tomorrow

"All right. my dear," he was de-
lighted that she had not insisted
upon seeing the paper, 'and if
you can see my way clear Tn

added as he dismissed her.
The next day when they were

State Fuel Director Andrew z.
Lane, who returned Friday from a
conference at Philadelphia with the
anthracite coal operators, reported to
Gov. Percival P. Baxter that the
price Of anthracite coal will be no
higher than last winter and Maine
will get about SO per cent Of the re-
quirements Of last Winter.
The message of Mr.. Lane will en-
courage Maine people. The coal,
however that will come to Maine will
not be available in the immediate fu-
ture, but will be shipped from time to
time. 1t is apparent that the people
Of Maine will have to use at least 40
per cent bituminous coal in order to
carry them through the winter.

conditions because II they delay in
putting in soft coal, there will be
