The, progressives voiced their indlg-
nation, their anger against the Off
cialdom. At this conference were men
who stood by and voted for Lewis
only a short time ago, men who re-
sented any imputations of the pro-
gressives. They were at the confer
ence and spoke in unmistakable terms.
The progressives of this subdistrict
are taking up the fight started at the
progressive conference in Pittsburgh
on January 4th. If Lewis, Hall and
Cirque will go along on the lines
above indicated, then all will be well
and good. If they will not, then they
will be swept aside.
The speeches of the miners, many
local presidents and vice-presidents,
secretaries, etc, showed the determin-
alton. When the conference was
closed, many men still wanted the
floor. Here was a real rank and
file expression-a rank and file re-
volt against the mismanagement of
the strike.
Ohio miners have been in the front
rank of all battles. Ohio will again
go into the trenches. The other sub
districts will follow the lead of Sub
district s, and the banner of revolt
will be raised over the entire district.
January 20 will long be remembered
in this district.

With the Young Comrades
FOR WHAT?

THANKSGIVING, FOR WHAT?
When we first landed on this bleak
shore
You opened to us wonderful door,
Gave US everything that we could
request
So, now we call You, as our guest.
Now this nation, this one, big nation,
The freest, the truest, in all creation,
Has made, to thank You for the first
hope ray
A beautiful, thanksgiving holiday.
SO chants the teacher, and so chants
the priest,
So chants the rich man before the
great feast.
But not so the miner, cold, hungry
and black;
Not so, when his child wears for
clothing a sack!
When his life is endangered by guns
and by bombs,
Because he wants to make living
and not have to ask for aims.
He asks but for bread, not turkey
and duck
And so he fights on. Let's all wish
him luck!
Then all these furriers, cloakmakers,
they
Also ask the question, SLOW can we
pray,
How can we thank when we don't
know what for,
Unless it's for brutal, long-lasting
war?
For wholesale arrests, when we peace
fully picket,
Police break our heads with their
clubs, that is wicked,
And still those who murder, rob and
Cypress,
Sit thanking God, eating, drinking, at
rest.
They ask is it right, and | ask it too,
Is the rhyme of the scholar and priest
always true?
If not, then why not, then why thank
for naught?
Answer this to yourself, that is my
retort?

Dale, in the voice of a ghost, remem-

"That / believed there was hidden

money from the Union bank might

Again, for the millionth time, in

the circumstances of the crime.

CHAPTER VIII
The Blackened Bag

As is CHANGED, she did not turn.
The hall door opened-the head be-
hind the settee sank down again. Jack
Bailey entered, carrying couple of
logs Of firewood
Dale moved toward him as soon as
he had shut the door.
"Oh, things have gone awfully
wrong, haven't they?" she said, with
little break in her voice.
He put his finger to his lips.
"Be careful!" he whispered. He
glanced about the room, cautiously.
81 don't trust even the furniture in
this house tonight! ]" he said. He took
Dale hungrily in his arms and kissed
her once, swiftly, on the lips. Then
they parted-his voice changed to the
formal voice of a servant.
Miss Van Gcrder wishes the fire
kept burning" he announced, with a
whispered "Play upI" to Dale.
Dale caught his meaning at once.
"Put some logs on the fire, please"
she said loudly, for the benefit of any
listening ears, then in an undertone
to Bailey, "Jack-Pm nearly dis
tractedI ]"
Bailey threw his wood on the fire,
which received It with appreciative
crackles and sputterings. Then again
for a moment, he clasped his sweet
heart closely to him.
"Dale, pull yourself together!" he
whispered warningly. "We've got a
fight ahead of us!"
He released her and turned back to-
ward the fire.
"These old-fashioned fireplaces eat
up a lot of wood" he said in casual
tones, pretending to arrange the logs
with the poker so the fire would draw
more Clearly.
But Dale felt that she must settle
one point between them before they
took up their game Of pretense again.
You know I sent for Richard Flem-
ing, don't your" she said, her eyes
fixed beseechingly on her lover. The
rest of the world might interpret her
action as it pleased-she couldn't bear
TO have Jack misunderstood.
But there was no danger of that.
His faith in her was too complete.
"Yes-of course he said, with a
look Of gratitude. Then his mind re-
verted to the ever-present problem
before them. "But who in Gods name
killed him?" he muttered, kneeling be-
fore the fire.

Jack Bailey did not recognize the
direction where her thoughts were

that anyone should devote a thought
to the money while Dale was still in
danger.
What does the money matter
row?" he broke in somewhat irritably
We've got to save heri" and his eyes
went to Dale.
Miss Cornelia gave him an ineffable
look of weary patience.
"The money matters a great DEAL"
she said, sensibly. "Some one was in
this house on the same errand as
Richard Fleming. After ALL" she
went on, with a tinge of irony, "the
course of reasoning that you followed,
Mr.. Bailey, is not necessarily unique"
She rose.
Somebody else may have suspected
that Courtleigh Fleming robbed his
own bank" she said thoughtfully.
Her eye fell on the doctors profess

it as if it were "a strange sort of

stare at Bailey, "and you have found

indignant at her aunt. Miss Cornelia
smiled.

she kept her own counsel. BY now

She rang the bell for Billy. But
Dale was still worrying over the pos
sible effects of the confidence she had
given Doctor Wells.
''Then you think the doctor may
give this paper to Mr.. Anderson
she asked.
"He may or he may not. It Is
entirely possible that he may elect to
search for this room himselfi He
may even already have gone up
stairs %
She moved quickly to the door and
glanced across toward the dining
room, but so far apparently all was
safe. The doctor was at the table,
making pretense Of drinking a cup
of coffee, and Billy was in close at
tendance. That the doctor already
had the paper she was certain; 1t
was the use he intended to make Of
1t that was her concern.
She signaled to the Jap, and he
came out into the hall. Beresford, she
learned, was still In the kitchen with
his revolver, waiting for another at
tempt on the door, and the detective
was still outside in his search. To
Billy she gave her order in a low
voice.

came muf1led from the head Of the

Miss Cornelia descended another
step.
"How's this?"

stairs again to see If she could puzzle
out what course of escape the man
who had shot Fleming had taken,
after his crime-if 1t had been a man.
Dale switched on the living room

construction of the crime had tried
her sorely. She sat down. to recover
her poise.

The doctor seemed greatly excited
by her words. But he controlled him.

"Why did you do such a thing?"
"Oh, I'll explain that LATER" said
Dale, tiredIy, only too glad to be talk

on, as if the doctor already knew the

doctor. "The butler has the paper

The doctors eyes cleaned. He gave
Dale's shoulder sympathetic pat.
"Now don't worry about it'll get

going toward the dining room, he
turned.
"But-you oughtn't to have it In
your possession" he said thoughtful
~, "why not let 1t be burned?"
Dale was on the defensive at once.
"Oh, mol It's important-it's vital !"
she said decidedly.
The doctor seemed to consider ways
and means of securing the paper.
''The tray is in the dining room?'
ne asked.
"Yes," said Dale.
He thought a moment then left the
room by the hall door. Dale sank back
ia her chair and felt sense of over
towering relief steal over her whole
body, as if new life had been poured
into her veins. The doctor had been
so helpful-why had she not confided
in him before? He would know what
TO do with the paper-she would have
rest Of this troubled time.
Behind her, mockingly, the head Of
the Unknown concealed behind the
settee lifted cautiously until, if she
had turned, she would have just been
able to perceive the top of its skull.
