patrician slipper bore the weight of a foot
that was human. though fairylike. And just
to make sure that he was awake he slipped
his arm about her, drew her close to him,
and peering into the depths Of her eyes,
kissed her fervently. The perfume Of her
hair and the warmth Of her cheek against
his set his heart apounding and proved that
she was real. Then, as she pushed him
away from her, she raised warning finger
and reprovingly babe him give her another
cigarette.
Il really believe you must be Robinson

years and years and years. And you know,

Granted" she admitted with a twinkle
In her eyes But I'll lend you the canoe
You can send It back in the morning"
But when am I to see you?" he urged
impetuously, and caught her to him again
as both of them arose.
THE evening after tomorrow, she prom
ised after a moment, and evading his arms,
fed up the stair which led to the balcony.
Goodnight, dear Robinson Crusoe!" she
called to him over the rail. "Yoshi will
light you down to the dock" Then she
disappeared and Tommy felt like husband
who had forgotten to phone that he would
be detained
That feeling was even more acute when
Miriam greeted him at breakfast In the
morning. What time did you get back?'
she asked II never even heard you"
Which wasn't strange, In view of the
fact that he had removed his shoes
and tptoed into the cabin in his stocking
feet. Rather late" he answered, non
committally, and proceeded to decapitate a
perfectly innocent egg.
"Oh!" said Miriam, glancing at what
the cook had brought her. II was hoping

Tommy smilingly asked as he looked up
at the square of sky above the open patio
Somehow it seems so different from the

Then he looked across the table invit-

of their intimate tete-a-tete.
And in the hours, or was it years, that
they had known each other, an unbelieva-
BILE intimacy had blossomed between the
two. The fiction Of the scenario was dis
carded long ago, and now they were laugh
ingly living the make-beGeve existence which
she had only suggested to sweep away the
barriers of their brief acquaintance, and
put him at his ease.
Yet he felt that his being there must be
some sort of dream; the girl and the at
mosphere, as well as curious background,
were entirely too fantastic to possibly be
real. For, walled in as they were, only
the scent of the sea and the distant roar
of the surf served to recall to Tommy the
fact that this was Maine. Otherwise he
might have believed that the two were the
principal characters in a South American
romance.

GEO. E. JACKSON
EXPLAINS ABOUT
BRITISH STRIKE

Students from Oxford and Cam
bridge universities handling baggage,
and business and professional men
volunteering their services and cars,
were some of the highlights of The
British strike situation related by
George E. Jackson, proprietor of the
Southern Arizona Auto company, upon
his return to Douglas from a two
months tour abroad.
The entire strike situation, accord
ing to Jackson, was accepted and
handled with the typical imperturab bic
British calm There was no violence
and but little excitement. A stranger
in London might even nave been un-
aware of any unusual situation.
Motor transportation and the re-
markable cooperation shown between
individuals were given by Jackson as
the chief factors in bringing to a
close the general strike which, for
time, threatened to cripple London.
University students volunteered to
handley baggage between points ana
from the incoming and departing
steamers, and the automobile owning
PuUIlV NoluHleeEeu Ell ndSSe TO nam
die the interurban transportation
problems. Foodstuffs and supplies
were handled entirely by motor truck
and was distributed from central sta
tions in all large cities.
Jackson also noted a delicate point
of diplomacy shown through the
handling of the situation which, he
believes, may have been no mean fac
tor in bringing successfully to a close
situation which might have brought
about far reaching risastrous results.
At no time during the strike was the
term strike breaker" used and no
violence or anatgonism were exhib-
tied toward the strikers. Instead OF
trying to break up the strike, the
public outwardly ignored the strikers
and united in caring for the public
comfort.
Jackson, who also visited Scotland,
believes that the coal strike is des-
tined to failure. This not because the
mine operators aer unwilling to pay a
higher wage, but because In most in
stances they are actually unable to.
Many of the coal mines had been
forced to shut down prior to the
strike because of inability to meet
expenses, he declares.
