Silently Joyce followed them up the
stairs. She tumbled occasionally, for
her eyes were fixed on the comforting
breadth of Bills shoulders.
Bill stood aside to let her precede
him into Cra.gs bedroom, and Joyce
watched his face as he went toward
the bed. He was staring aghast at
Craig, and her heart began pounding
suddenly. Her worst fears were real
ized-either Craig would die quickly,
or the saving operation could not be
performed here.

CHAPTER XII.

Joyce was in the big sitting
room with Jones when she
heard the sound Of a motor.
She smiled little, visualizing
the rather pompous Phineas Thorne
riding over that rough road with Ben.
She could almost hear his angry splut-
tiers when he should learn the true
state of affairs.
She heard the car come to stop
outside, the sound Of voices, footsteps
crossing the porch. She raised her
eyes to the door.
Bill" she whispered through trem-
bling lips.
DR.. Bill smiled at her unconcern-
sdly, just as if this was an ordinary
call. His eyes went over the room
quickly. they narrowed slightly as they
touched Jones. Then he was looking
at Joyce again.
Hello, Joyce"-calmly.
Joyce was on her feet. She turned
70 the big man and her face was
white. Il told you to get DR.. Thorne!"
she flared.
Jones looked questioningly at Ben
The man shrugged.
Il tried to get the other doctor
chief" he explained, but he was out
on case. Amt this guy doctor?"
Joyce looked at DR.. Bill again, and
tried desperately hard to be sorry that
he was here. that DR.. Thorne had not
come instead. And failed. She fought
the tears OF relief that wanted to flow
10 badly, fought the happiness that
flooded her as she looked at Bills
face. The nightmare was ended, now
that he was here!

Stassen Stops Campaign
ing To Settle Strike
Dakota County Attorney Ends
Packing House SitDown In
Two Hours of NEGOTIATION


Passed with little notice by the
Twin City Newspapers during the
past week was an example of
speedy and prompt settlement Of a
strike that Of employees Of
Armour & Co., in South st. Paul,
which might have tied UP the pack
ing industry and disrupted the mar
ket for livestock in this big center.
The strike incidentally gave
Harold E. Stassen, county attorney
for Dakota County and candidate
for governor, a chance to demon
strate his theory that most labor
disputes can be adjusted amicably.
Stassen had Just wound up
busy day Of campaigning, when he
received a call from union repres-
entatives. A sit-down strike Of 200
employees in the killing department
had started that day, he was in
formed, and the union leaders want
ed to know If arrangements could
be made to send food to the men.
Stassen agreed to meet a committee
CT the workers at 500 p. M.
When the unicn men arrived,
Stassen inquired into the source Of
the trouble. Ascertaining the points
Of difference, he called officials Of
the company and socn was able to
get both sides to make concessions.
In two hours a settlement had been
reached. The leader Of the union
signed statement commenting
officials Of the company for their
fairness and pointing to the Incl
dent as a demonstration that dis
putes can be settled peacefully.
