Its all right, butler. I'm not
the least bit afraid of him. I'm not
afraid of anybody, see? l can't al

now! If that herd of females gets
at him he'll be"
Graham, the Merrifield butler
who was already distressed at this
days unseemly routine, had come
again into the masters study. At
his heels this time was a strange
young man. OF n accord MIR.
Merrifeld, Mr.. Weems and Gayle
Dixon turned to look.
The young man was decidedly
in earnest-obviously he had forced
himself right over poor Graham's
authority-and yet he wore a hap
by smile, too. His hair was curly,
and black. He was well dressed,
and built like an athlete. He car
ried a hat with snapped-down brim.
This gentleman has forced
Graham began, but the young man
grabbed the conversational reins.
How do you do, everybody!'
He turned to the three who sat
before Mr.. Merrifeld's fireplace.
Thanks butler, goodby. How do
you do, everybody" His repeating
himself, while he quickly apprais-
ed the people and setting before
him, caused Gayle Dixon to smile
in amusement. Mr.. Weems' mouth
had dropped open, and Mr.. Merri-
field himself stared, incredulous.
You are Mr.. Merrifeld, sir"
the intruder resumed, addressing
that gentleman u~nerringly. Il apol-
ogize for forcing my way in, but
the truth is I've got to have work!
Look, Mr.. Merrifield, there are 500
girls down tire now, and by the
time you start seeing them at eight
there'll be a thousand! Now, you
can't handle that many in a month.
I'm used to crowds and showing
and all that. l played football for
four years-I'm just out of college

and 1 can interview them for you.
Now look, you give me some idea
OF what you want and I'll begin

"I-you-Who-!" Mr.. Weems
stammered that.

you'll excuse me, sir, we haven't
much time to wait. I don't care
what you pay me. I've been trying
to get a job since January and I'll
take anything. I'll prove I a de-
liver the goods first. Okay, hunh?"
Mr.. Mortified was staring at
him and working his old jaws, but
no sound came. Poor Mr.. Weems
was indignant, naughty; Gayle
highly amused. Most likely Mr..
Merrifield-who had been a we'll
disciplined executive for half a
century and more-would have
said a great deal in another mo-
ment or two, but at the instant the
food began.
Some of the 5OO-odd girls evil
IDENTIFY sensed that Bill Bailey and
the butler would lead the way to
the Merrifield sanctum, so the
more daring ones had started their
own trip upstairs. Others had fol-
lowed instantly. Now the feminine
mob was about to engulf the Mer-
rifield study!
Bill Bailey was first to act. He
jumped to a chair.
Quiet! Quiet, everybody" he
shouted, co1nmandingly. Stand
where you are! -. Now listen,
girls! Anybody who forces her way
in will not be given a chance. In
derstand? All of you back out like
ladies, doggone it, and start filing

to say that he thanks all of you

had worked herself back up stairs
with her air of authority, s h e
found nine beautiful girls waiting
in some confusion.
Standing there by the door, she
was conscious all at once of Jer-
envy Tucker at her elbow. Jeremy,
the young grandson of Mr.. Merri-
field, who had appeared earlier in
dressing robe and had been sent
away, like a little by, to make
himself presentable.
"Oh, I say!" Jeremy stared in
establishment at the moving line Of
girls. "Whatever is" He couldn't
finish.
These are girls who came in
response to Mr.. Merrifeld's ad-
vertisement," Gayle explained.
They want to work for him. Poor
dears!"
"Oh, for goodness sake!" Jere-
my fled.
Gayle wished he had stayed. She
wanted to study him. He a the
man she was hired to WOO! That
is, Mr.. Merrifield had said he
wanted her to make love to young
Jeremy. Did Jeremy understand
that arrangement?
Whew! All at once the possibility
of that assailed Gayle. Her face
showed deep concern and she
wished she could ask Mr.. Merri-
field about it at once, but he was
obviously too distracted now. Any
way, Gayle wasn't sure she want
ed to VOC a man for pay. Jeremy
was refined, really, but colorless.
In the end Bill had selected II
possible candidates. Then he
pitched in with gentleness but firm
ness, displaying a rare charm, to
cut that II down to six. When only
the six remained, he turned to Mr..
Merrifield again.
II think, sir, that you yourself
will want to choose the final can
didate. These I assure you are the
six best looking, and I'll bet a red
nat they're the smartest ones, too.
Do you want the rest of us to get
out so you can go into a private
huddle with these girls?"
Mr.. Merrifield was a brusque, a
direct man himself, but after all he
was approaching 80 years of age.

can hire only one. I'll pick out six
or eight for him to choose from,
while he and his brother a n d
granddaughter, Or somebody, look
on. Understand"
He gave n hurried glance at
the trio by the fireplace, tn e n
turned back to the mob. Girls had
completely filled the great hallway
outside the study and Bill talked
loudly so that all those and even
the others still on the stairway
could hear. Mr.. Merrifeld and
MIR. Weems looked helplessly at
each other. Gayle Dixon was wide
eyed.
"Start walking by, slowly" Bill
hurried on, with a positive air OF
authority. Head out that other
door yonder, unless I take you out
of the line. Miss-uh, you r Miss
Merrifield or somebody, aren't
you?"
He addressed Gayle for the first
time.
Yes, IL really am somebody,
but" Gayle a quick-witted,
too. She moved forward, ready to
help.
"Okay. Now look-you lead the
procession back outside again, Ell?
You know your way oraund this
palace. Ought to be another way
cut somewhere. Your grandfather
will be smothered in face powder
if we don't act fast. Get me?"
Il get you'll" Gayle stepped out,
motioning to the, girls to follow.
She hoped-blindly hoped!-that a
door across the room would lead
somehow to an avenue of escape
again, and fortunately it did.
The two old men said not a word
for almost an hour.
They just stood by the fireplace
and stared. Girls of every possible
Observation-Disclosures were even a
few Chinese and one hopeful col
cred lass with very definite quail
iications-passed in review before
the astonishing Bill Bailey. Bill
greeted Tch one cordially, spoke
a kindly word or two, but hurried
them all past.
Every few minutes he asked a
girl to step out of the line and
wait. When Gayle had the line
strung out to the lawn again, and

Baby Helen was in the hospital
two months. Since then, she has
worn casts or plaster shells on her

The doctors hope that some day
she will walk with hardly q notic-

is taken regularly to the Children's 8

check on the casts.
Some day Helen Torreyson will
be a very pretty young lady. Her
brown eyes are large and her hair
is the palest blond. She will want
to dance, to ride, to skate. And the
doctors are hopeful.
Years Of treatment lie ahead Of
her. Years of massage and braces
To provide that treatment for little

Coal Price Hearing
Ends; Plea for New
Quiz Is Studied
Foes Charge Schedule
Would Add ~ Million
+ AYeor to Costs
N TIE Associated Press.

~ me ASSoclAteo E1esS.
The Bituminous Coal Division
concluded hearings last night on It's
proposed schedule Of minimum
prices which consumer representa-
tives testified would increase the Ma
tion's soft coal bill $4,000, 900 year.
Herbert ]. Jacob, vice president
of the Carter Coal Co. Of New York,
which brought the suit in which the
original Guffey Coal Act was in
validated, Immediately moved for =
new hearing. Omcials took the plea
under advisement.
Mr.. jacob charged that the hear
ings Just concluded, which lasted six
months, were unfair, that they failed
to develop evidence to support the
minimum price proposals and that
the divisions examiners we're pref
udiced. Representative Of five pro-
ducers, however, recorded contrary
views.
IS Days to File Evidence.
If the new hearing is denied, the
price schedule will 60 to Howard A.
Gray, director of the division. He
has given objectors IS days to file
formal evidence, after which, with
approval Of Secretary Ickes, he will
promulgate the new scale Of prices
for the purchase of bituminous coal
from producers.
Authorities said the new prices
probably would go into effect within
three months. All producers Of soft
coal who subscribe to the code out
lined by the Bituminous Coal Acts
will be permitted to raise their price
at the mines in whatever amount
the schedules list for their respec-
tive shipping areas.
Estimates Extra Costs.
Frederic L. Kirgis, director Of the
Consumers Counsel Division Of the
Interior Department, testified at the
hearings that the proposed sched-
ules would add 9 cents ton to the
cost of soft coal purchased by the
household consumer and 20 cents a
ton to the cost of coal used for
industrial purposes, with an aver
age increase Of about II cents a ton
for all soft coal sold.
Oficials of the coal division said
Informally that the proposed sched-
ules would not necessarily mean in
creased profits to the producers
Rather, they said, the schedules were
designed to narrow retail price diff
ferentials as paid by commercial and
domestic consumers.

To combat these far flung sabotage activi-
ties, the FBI has instituted surveys of hun
dreds of industrial plants that have contracts
with the Army and Navy to supply material

Agents carefully consider every possible vul-
nerable point in these plants and then devise
means by which they can be protected Sug-
gestions are made to plant executives and
employees have never encountered finer
spirit of patriotism than is being exhibited
by these industrial workers, who are helping
in every way they can to make our national
defense secure.

national preparedness cannot be overestl-

Foreign agents practice similar schemes in
industrial plants. And, when the time is ripe.
they strike at power lines, public utilities,
boilerhouses, engine rooms and railroad
bridges. During the months and years pre-
ceding a war, they plan, chart, sketch and
devise the specific methods to be employed at
the appointed hour They do everything that
a skillful general does who knows that he
must fight battle against superior forces at
some future time.
The saboteur does not always arrive from
an enemy country at the outbreak of war or
shortly before war is declared. For years,
even for decades, staff of agents may be
working in key industrial plants in various
countries. BY reason of their long employ
ment these agents will be almost completely
