Linda tore down the weedy

Linda crouched low in her sad

heart. Every flying step Of the
pony put more distance between
her and those witnesses Of her
humiliation. She leaned forward
and talked to Calico, patting his
neck and clucking with her teeth
to speed him on.
The white road flew by under
the horses feet. They passed the
little graveyard on the hill, shot
by farm houses that had been
filled with lights when they came
along this road three hours be-
fore, but now were black and
somnolent.

beginning to show a veil OF lather
on shoulders and flank. He must
soon tire out.
They came down into the depths
of the valley. Here the lakes were
left behind, and thick trees and
underbrush lined the road.
Then the horse swerVHd sharply
into q drive Linda had not noticed
before. It wound away from the
road between giant oaks, and a
clutter of weeds pressed close on
either side.
1t was q lonely road, long ago
deserted. Linda, pulled with the
frantic violence of terror, and
screamed into the horses ears. He
galloped on.
Not till he drew up at the steps
of great dark building did Linda
recognize the house she had ex-
plored alone on that September
afternoon.
Tonight the moon shone on its
towering front pillars. The door
swung wide open.
Calico stood, flecked with the
foam of the chase, stock still before
the open door. High above the
pillars reared UP into darkness and
the windows were mere blind eyes
scarcely visible against the dark
brick walls.
The horse evidently felt that he
had fulfilled his contract. He
stood, shivering, az though to let
Linda dismount.
She peered through the open
door. The great hall was almost
in blackness, but the windows over
the stairs cleaned out dull milky
gray. Back there, where the
shadow was blacklist, she had

MINERS DRIVE
REACHES CLIMAX
Big Mass Collections
in Every City

PITTSBURGH, July 29. - The
climax of the National Miners Re-
lief and Defense Week activities
will be reached today and tomorrow
when 100000 workers, armed with
collection lists, will participate in a
mass house to house collection cam
paign and tag days in hundreds of
cities in this country and Canada.
Hunger banquets are being held
everywhere. Truckloads of miners
come to the Pittsburgh headquarters
of the National Miners Relief Com
mittee at Gil Penn Ave. every day,
to help rush supplies to every re-
lief and defense committee partici-
pating.
Reach 100000 People. =.
"If each one of the 100000 work.
ers who have proved their loyalty
to the miners in this great struggle
by their work in the past, visit 10
sympathizers, over 100000 people
in Canada and every corner of the
United States will be reached. /"
computes Alfred Wagenknecht, re-
lief director. "This is the most far
reaching campaign for miners aid
ever attempted, but the situation in
the strike fields has never been so
critical during the entire period of
the fight as it is today"
The collection lists, which are
printed in folder form, tell the story
of the strike, the arrests. hunger
and hardships in the strike fields, in
pictures ard letters from the Ma
tional Miners Relief Committee and
the international Labor Defense.
Nickels, quarters and dollars for
relief and defense will be collected
at the factory gates, at lodges,
unions and from house to house.
More than 10000 organizations will
be reached and asked to take col
lections at their meetings and make
donations out of their treasures.
Need is Acute.
Because the circulation of lists
is so tremendous, and the need so
acute, the time limit cannot be com
piled with, and the campaign will
continue we'll into next week Tens
of thousands of lists are still in the
mails, and more are going out daily.
every worker who has already
received a contribution list must
collect as much as possible, no mat
ter how little" the relief commit
tee urges. "If you haven't list,
get one from the National Miners
Relief Committee in your city or
from the International Labor De-
tense headquarters, or write for one
directly to the Pittsburgh relief CEN
ter. One Ford factory worker sent
in $500 already. Every organiza-
ton must again take up the ques-
ton Of helping the miners in their
struggle, and send contributions to
Gil Penn Ave, Pittsburgh.

Mine BANNER IS
Sent TO DETROIT

RENTON, Pa, July 29--The soli-
darity banner, embroidered by the
wives of two striking miners of
Renton, Pa, Mrs. Martin Strahar
and Mrs. John Cairn, was completed
today and sent to the National
Miners Relief Committee of De-
troit, 1867 Grand River ave. The
organization affiliated with the re-
lief committee which makes the
greatest showing of solidarity in the
National Miners Relief and Defense
week drive, will win the trophy.
Renton's appreciation of solidarity
is embroidered in gold on crimson
background, and edged with heav.
golden fringe. The banner was car.
ried from end to end of the barrack
patch today, before it was sent to
Detroit. The children formed q
procession, running from door tc
door. More than 800 families who
have been fed solely by the National
Miners Relief Committee since April
are sending the banner as symbol
of their appreciation.
