"It is a light! Down there.
And there's another one to the
right"
Pippin said, excited: prick
ing like stars in a sunken
world"
Bill played the searchlight up
and down the canyon. He said
softly: This is a trail"
They followed it. They could
not see house nor fence, but
just that light wavering through
the dark.
Suddenly and startling near,
dogs were barking. They were
on a stone path leading to a
small cabin. The dogs made q
great commotion and a mans
voice shouted: Down, Nose!
Who's there?"
A big, easy-faced fellow with
hulking shoulders and a bald
head stood framed in the door
with the light from the room
flowing about him.

phone. Was that your plane

A woman and a little boy now
edged into the picture, excitedly
watching the visitors. The man
held in leash a ferocious-look-

efforts to sniff at Bills shoes.

EFFORTS MADE
To SPLIT U.s..
EMPLOYEES
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH

Government employees, after
Ghetr victories in the independent
offices appropriations act, are
now realizing that the forces that
brought about pay cuts in the
first instance are consolidating
their strength to renew the fight
ut the earliest opportunity.
In particular, an assault is ex-
pected upon the Thomas amend.
ment, which provides a five-day
week for wage board employees
that is, for workers in mechanical
crafts whose pay is set by wage
boards. The same amendment
provides for restoration Of pay
scales to 1882 levels, and for time
and q half for overtime.
Repeal To Be Sought
Wage boards, therefore, can
raise the wages Of these employees
only as long as the amendment
remains on the statute books, and
1t is expected that efforts will be
made soon to bring about its re-
peal, particularly since the amend

point for instituting the five-day
week in the Government service
generally.
Apparently efforts are being
made to split Government workers
into two groups by arousing resent
ment on the part of those whose
nay was not increased by the
Thomas amendment and who did
not obtain the five-day week.
Counter Attack Planned
Indications appear on every
hand that the Government work
erS are preparing a counter-offen-
sive against the interests that
favor pay cuts and lowered work
ting conditions.
Editorial attacks on the pay
Of Government workers and state
ments by individuals and organi-
cations against working condi-
tions in the public service are be-
ing brought to the attention Of
employees at the meetings Of their
organizations, and plans are be-
ing worked out to counteract
them.

Come alongl Well walk the
way with them"
The little boy, bursting with
curiosity, but entirely silent,
trotted at Bills side, listening
eagerly as the man asked ques-
tions about the plane and the
mishap which had forced them
down.
They halted. Neither Bill nor
Pippin saw anything but the
shadows.
The woman said: What will

Whatever it's worth"
She walked down a path.
They heard her knocking loudly
and calling: "It's Ma Nelson"
She returned in a few mo-
ments: Burt will do it for
$4,000, paid in advance"
She took the money and with
an air Of triumph, led them to
the shed where the car was
parked.
"You HAVE a rabbits foot!"
Pippin murmured as Bill helped
her into the small, rackity car,
and the ranch woman said hap.
PLY: I'm glad. Now you'll get
home. Burt knows the road.
He's a good driver"
More Thrills
Burt must have known the
road. He was a stocky, SUM-
burned youth about nineteen,
with a large mouth and small,
sharp eyes. He went hurting
around curves and grinding over
rocks at q pace that made Pip
pins heart Jump.
She said, nervous: "Quite an
anti-climax to get killed now,
after escaping the plane so
neatly"
Bill leaned forward. please

But the boy shouted: Don't
be afraid know every snag
in this road driven it q thou-

The shadows flew past: rocks
scattered; pebbles dashed with
sharp, rafting sounds against
the tenders. Now and then the
headlights flashed on the wild

DESIGN FUR COATS
IN MEDIUM LENGTH

Women have way Of getting what
they want. When they demanded fur
coats In trottenr length. the designers
got busy and turned out some extreme
ly dashing models. These coats that
are neither long nor short are espe-
clally suited TO the youthful, boyish
figure.
This seasons versions include
straight, belted or Hwagger types. Some
have yokes. Collnrs are standing, Pc.
ter Pan or cravat. Sleeves relate the
story that has been going the rounds
this year: Pleats or shirring at the
shoulders, fullness below the elbow.
Short-haired furs, such as lapn. gal.
yak and kid are the happIest choices
for the fur trotteur that Is belted or
swagger. Seal and krimmer make
handsome straightllne fnger-tip length
coats.
