CHAPTER III

There had not been time to make in
Quiry as to the land Bruce was going
to. He only knew one tling-that
it was the wilderness. Thel lfact that
he had no business plans for fhe future
and no financial resources Except a
few hundred dollars that he carried
in his pocket did not matted one way
or another. He was willingtto spend
all the money he had; after it was
gone, he would take up some work in
life anew.
He had moments wonder at the
effect his departure would have upon
the financial problem that bad been
his fathers sole legacy to him. He
laughed a little as he thought of it.
But the idea that others also-having
no business relations with his father
might be interested in this western
journey of his did not even occur
to him.
But the paths men take, seemingly,
with wholly different aims, arisscross
and become intertwined much more
than Bruce knew. Even as be lay in
his berth, the first sweet drifting of
sleep upon him, he was th9 subject
Of discussion in far-distaat noun
tain home; and sleep would bot have
fallen so easily and sweetfE if he
had heard it.
1t might have been a different world
Only a glimpse Of it, illumined by the
moon, could be seen through tfe soiled
and besmirched window p&ae; but
that was enough to tell the story.
There were no tall buildings lighted
by a thousand electric lights, such
as Bruce could see through lhe win
dows of his bedroom at night The
lights that could be discerned in this
strange, dark sky were largely un-
familiar to Bruce, because !, of the
smokesclouds that had always hung
above the city where he lived. There
were just stars, but there were so
many of them that the mind was un-
able to comprehend their number.
There was also a moon that cast
little square of light, like a fairy

a moon as leers down red and strange
through the smoke of cities. 1t was

moon that times the hunting hours
Of the forest creatures. But the patch
that it cast on the floor was obscured
in a moment because the man who
had been musing in the big chair be-
side the empty fireplace had risen and
lighted a kerosene lamp.
The light prevented any further
scrutiny of the moon and stars. And
what remained to look at was not
nearly so pleasing to the spirit. 1t
was great, white-walled room that
would have been beautiful had 1t not
been for certain unfortunate attempts
to beautify it. There was a stone
fireplace, and certain massive, dust
covered chairs grouped about tt. But

Action a Surprise.
News that the terminal is not a party
to the agreement which meant settle-
ment Of the shopmen's strike was re-
ceived with considerable surprise in
labor circles today. where it was rather
confidently expected that the terminal
would fall in line with the Baltimore

Line. all of which operate from the
Union station and which entered the
settlement agreement.

business representative OF the ma.

for the striking shop crafts in this
vicinity, on hearing of the company's
decision.
"The men here are ready and deter
mined to carry on this fight until a
satisfactory conclusion is reached.

that any employe who left the service

As a matter of fact he reached over
his desk to a pile of mimeographed
circulars and said:
Here is all I wish to add regard

handed over a copy of the circdlar
which said:
ITO all employees: Any employe

cred as severing his relations with
