reflected, John Kirk would be

wasn't, though. He worked S
hard as the rest of the men
They liked him and respected
him. And John Kirk always
took care of his men, too. He
had reputation for paying bet

Kirk knew how to get his men
TO work for him until they
couldn't lift their hands. That
was the secret of his success.

her hand over her mouth as if
TO hold the words in. He stud
led her, curiously.
He was so full of his crusade
for a better Kirktown that he
didn't notice Penny's embarrass-

You're the first one who
hasn't laughed at the idea he
said. But it's just { dream that

She was glad, now, that no pub

to remain unnoticed.

Penny observed, the men who
came to Pietro's huddled togeth-

studied their set faces.
Nudge she asked one day,
"is something wrong? Have you

men are acting?
Eyes, Penny" was the quiet
reply. I've noticed lot of
things in the last few weeks.
There's trouble brewing at the
mill
"Trouble?" Penny asked, be-
wilderedly.
Before Penny could make
further inqueries, Nudge had
lost interest in the converse

grinned the big smile she re-
