Shorter Hours Draw New
 Type of Steel EmplOyes

Cleveland. Dec. 13.-College grad uates are found in the new class of men being assimilated today in the Cleveland steel industry. With the working day reduced from 12 to eight hours all steel mills report a not able influx of a different type of em- ployee. Mountain boys from Ken lucky and Tennessee are among others.
 Previous to the reduction in hours, it is said at mills here, only the hardy would apply for positions which meant that nearly all their waking hours would be spent around hot metal. When the shorter day was adopted, however, there were a num- Der of applications from college grad uates who were willing to begin by cleaning the stoves of blast furnace. Men formerly employed in offices and stores also have decided to try their hand at production.

 Fifteen years ago KOretZ took a number of friends into an Arkansas rice plantation scheme, the district at torney said, and actually paid them 10 to 15 per cent annual dividends. The large returns attracted many stockholders. who later invested in the Panama project. which was launched in 1918. Dividends of five per cent each six months were paid to stockholders Of the Panama com pany, states attorneys said.
 Started Out Company
 Two years ago koretz announced oil had been found on the Panama properties and later he is alleged to have circulated the story that a large oil corporation had offered him s25,- 000,000 for his one-fifth interest in the company. stock of which was selling for $2,o00 a share, according to the investigators.

A STORY OF A FEUD AND A WOMAN.

; white suit, see? You wear mine
I was goin' as Sultan, see?-
and they'll never take a tumble.
We're near enough the size so
they won't know the diff. Don't
let no one here know about and
we1ll go together from here and
they'll think I'm you and you're
me, see? What do you say?"
The following night at the big
hall Split and Jack mingled with
the crowd Of dancers. Split won
dered alphabetically which of the
guests was to let daylight into
him. It was impossible to tell
who the assassin might be.
He sat down in a corner and
ran his hands into the pockets Of
Jacks domino in search Of a pos
sible cigarette. His fingers en-
countered a letter, opened, and
without enclosing envelope. He
could scarce but help read it's
few words.
AS he waited a couple sat down
in the adjoining seats and he
overheard voices in a low tone.
One voice was the same as that
he had heard in the back room
the previous night! His face
grew steely as he watched to see
who the owner of the voice was.
AS the men left and passed his
seat, one dressed as courtier
and the other as a harlequin. he
looked after them and suddenly
acted. He grabbed q passing
masker and Kissed into his ear:
Move quick, you! See them
two guys. the one with the
sword and the guy in the checked
suit? Well, slip up to them and
take 'em off some place and tell
them that Jack is in the Sultan's
costume tonight. Understand?
Never mind why-it's just a Joke
on the boss, see? Now hustle!"
There was sound Of something
like a cork being pulled at
distance, and Jack sank to the
floor while the crowd gathered
around, effectually allowing the
escape Of the courtier.
Split hurried to the side of the
fallen gang leader and gazed
down at him. Rosie stood With
the rest. white-faced and silent.
Split looked at her without speak
ing.
The police were soon there, but
investigation disclosed little. Only
one person in all that aggregation
wondered and that was Rosie.
who told the killer Of the
change Of costume?" she won.

By Russell E. Smith.

r F there was one human being
Split" McDougal held a
u warm corner in his rather
cold-blooded heart for besides his
girl" it was big Jack" Man
ming, leader OF the Bend district
gang. There was a reason: Big
Jack had once dragged Split from
under the wheels OF car at the
cost Of a broken leg to himself.
Split was a great aid to him.
mainly in bringing to his ears
any signs or portents Of insurrec-
ton. After many such Split one
night stumbled across a plot
to put the quietus on Big Jack
on a night soon to ROLL around on
which the latter had planned q
big masquerade ball.
AS Split and his girl" Rosie,
sat in a dingy cafe there came a
sound OF whispering in another
room back of the partition and
Split was soon able to gather
what was in the wind, the which
he retailed to Rosie.
The fact that Big Jack was to
give a costume ball was known
to the two invisible ones and
their talk had to do with the
taking off Of Big Jack. Through
a member Of the gang the Co.'S
tune the leader was to wear had
become known, and during the
evening a gun would blaze at
that ffgure-and there would be
a new leader on the morrow.
Splits one thought was to warn
the boss. He told Rosie, whose
eyes narrowed at what he thought
only Rosie knew. Split swiftly
left Rosie to find her own way to
the place they called home.
Big Jack was with a small and
admiring circle when Split was
admitted and saw with a gasp
that the fatal costume was even
now being admired. 1t was n
domino, similar to that in which
Caruso had made his greatest sue
cess-the clown in Pagliacci AT
last the visitors went their way
and Split fingered to urge his
plan on the big boss.
I got VIVA or somelnln', boss"
he said, 'they's some sneak in
this outfit what has tipped off
the buds you're goin' to wear to-
morrow, and one of them Is going
to bring his gat and use 1t on you
at the ball, see? But I got a
scheme. Listen!

A nervous old gentleman was
