the Twin Cities Division of the
Brotherhood.
The Agreement secured for the
porters a SIP wage increase, with
a step-rate in pay, ranging from
$3.50 to $97.50, which gives to
the men fifteen years in the service,
wage raise from $17.00 to $3.50,
with an increase in the in-charge
rate of $3.50.
In addition to the increase in
wages, the Brotherhood won for
the men the 24O hour basic work
month. Formerly the 500 Line
porters worked a full month of
80 days, with unlimited hours, and
received no overtime. Under this
agreement, overtime is paid at
straight-time up to 260 hours, and
at the rate of time and half above
260 hours.
The Agreement was signed by
the Vice-President and General
Manager, E. A. Whitman, for the
500 Line Railroad, and A. Philip
Randolph, for the Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters, whose head
quarters are in New York City.

mant. Curtis gave up at last, folded
the scrawled agreement and thrust it
in his pocket. Eric" he said, you
know we're both drunk. What I'm
thinking is this" proceeded Curtis.
I'm the morning perhaps you'll have
forgotten what you've said. You
promised me you'd sell me your idea

They lurched out the side entrance
of the pub, each solicitous of the other,
each believing the other couldn't walk
without his help. They reached Eel
derman's tiny hall bedroom with its
one chair. antiquated washstand and
narrow bed Curtis was only vaguely
aware of long argument as to which
should sleep on the floor After that he
remembered nothing until he woke up
in the fantastically early London
dawn, sitting outside on the steps of
Felderman's lodging house. Excruciat-
ing pains shot through his head but he
turned to examine the door behind
him, took out note book and pencil
and wrote down the address.
Half-an-hour later, at three in the
morning to be exact, Simpson put him
to bed and kept ice packs on his head
until he went to sleep. At eight he
woke him by letting him down gently
into a tub of cold water At eight
thirty he gave him a pick-me-up.
At nine Curtis felt fine. He strolled
to the Office and sat summing up the
accomplishments of the last twenty
four hours. What would be the next
step? No use trying to fool a sober
Felderman; if he followed his own
hunch it would be to lay his cards on
the table.
He sent Eric a telegram asking him
to come to the St. James's Street ad-
dress at four fifteen. In due course he
took Audrey and his mother to lunch
in Jermyn Street. He was handsome
and affable - so affable that Mrs.
Randolph was astonished and Audrey

Scarcely was Simpson out of the
way when Curtis heard the telltale
jolt with which the automatic lift an
nounced stop at his floor. He threw
open the door and fairly staggered as
three entities stepped out - Donald,
then Joan and finally Felderman.
Joan flushed. equally taken by sur

a freshly ironed wisp of gossamer.

Scarcely we're the rest of them

armful of flowers and an evening
paper. He laid the paper on the table
and prepared to arrange the flowers.
They entranced Joan. She stood up

the blooms. But as she drew back her

watch, remembering his five O'Clock
date with Audrey and his mother.
What had been his intention when he
had summoned Eric? To lay his cards
on the table by painting a true picture
of the great mogul of Chemical Alloy.
There was no time for that now, and
the fanatical gleam in Felderman's
eye made him think perhaps it was
just as well. Eric" he said. 1--WE got

but not now. Get out. You'll hear
from me tomorrow.
Suits me-" said Felderman, slouch-
ing toward the door.
But on the following day Curtis
was destined to sweat through hours
OF the most exacting DECIDING of his
entire career. The message which had
come to the Embassy was super-con-
fidential. so important he could call on
nobody for help. 1t went down to the
vital roots of Americas foreign policy
and might take rank some day along
side the Monroe Doctrine or John
Hays open door. At its conclusion he
felt stunned. for abruptly the figure of
the Quietest man in Washington
emerged as colossus looking far
ahead and weighing thunderbolt
against the end of patience.
1t was the sort of dispatch Secre-
tary of Embassy is supposed to decode
and forget, but try as he might, Curtis
could not Danish its import from mind.
1t followed him as he hurried home
with scarcely enough time to dress for
dinner. 1t stirred him to admiration
in another direction, admiration for
the prescience of the great mogul of
Chemical Alloy. Here was the key to
the mystery as to why one hundred
thousand patriotic dollars had been
put at his disposal to keep a gadget
from falling into alien hands. With
such move in the wind, mightn't
Felderman's invention easily prove
the hair trigger which occasionally
topples the balance of power one way
or another?

Billy and Anne were playing in the
garden when a friend passed. She
stopped TO caress five-year-old Anne.
and smiled at Billy. |. glancing from
the window, saw Billy grimace and
comfort his body with all the energy
Of which a seven-year-old is capable.
There he goes again." exclaimed
to myself despairingly. II don't know
what's come over him. He used to
be such a gentlemanly little fellow.
and now he's acquired that habit of
contOrtion and grimace. | wonder
IL there is anything really wrOng?"
Perhaps he was merely passing
through the SILLY stage" A mother
of eight who lived next door had
once told me that most children do
this. But, no, Billy was not being
merely silly. There was more than
that behind il, my mother instinct
warned me.
Next afternoon I was sitting in the
living room cuddling small Anne.
who was tired after cutting out pa
per animals. There was a clutter of
paper scraps on the floor, and so.
when Billy, running in from school.
flung his books on the table, I not
wishing to have the room look any
more untidy, demonstrated with him
about leaving his books where they
did not belong.
Billy glanced around the room re-
belliOusly, then Obeyed with a very
bad grace. Two minutes later | saw
him standing in the veranda going
through the usual actions of comfort
ing and grimacing. He was looking
straight at me through the low win
dow, and the notion that he was mere
ly playing a game with himself-as l
had been trying to make myself be
lieve--was scattered to the four
winds.
"He is not playing" ! decided.
when children play they Taught
with their eyes il not with their lips.
I'm looking straight at Billy. and he's
serious!" l reprOved Billy, but the
performance was repeated the next
day and the next. l chided him in
yain-and at last came to the con-
clusiOn that serious punishment was
the only cure for this behavior. 1t
was fortunate that Billy was saved
from this, as 1t would only have in
tensified the trouble. for Billy was
jealous of Anne.

"kissing the hurt away" from her
bruised knee, when looking up sud
denly. surprised a look of hearth
reak in the eyes of Billy who was
looking on.
"Why. Billy, what is the matter?'
1 asked, and Billy. who after all was
only two years older thanzAnue. and
caught off his guard. burst into tears.
| left Anne and gathered him into my
arms. and he wanted to know If
would kiss his hurts away, as | used
to do!
OF course Billy did not realize that
he was Jealous. Neither did he know
that thoughtless mothers are apt to
consider the younger child as need
ing more tenderness than the elder.
He inst sensed that he was not get
fling as much attention as Anne. or as
much as he used to have. He wanted
il and he chose the only way he knew
to attract attention to himself.

and grimaces soon be-
came a thing OF the past. How thank

in time to save Billy from increased
jealousy and all of MS from the un-

Telephones are bought and sold

are not the numerals but the pro
