This burning of bridges behind him brought
a strange sense of exhilaration. He decided
not only to make last appearance at the
office, but to tell Hayhurst, face to face, that
he was quitting.
JUsr walk right in, Mr. Bardin," said the
presidents secretary. ''Mr. Hayhurst said he
wanted to see YOU"
Hayhurst, worried expression on his
usually placid, pink face, was apparently ex-

Bardin took the proffered chair as though

tell you why
Quitting? What's the matter, Bardin?
What's wrong?"
For the first time in his life Bardin talked
to an employer with utter frankness. Omitting
the personalities of the letter, he explained in
detail just why he wasleaving Acme. Hayhurst
listened, drumming nervously on his desk
with plump fingers.
"Bardin, come pretty close to okaying
all you've said. When bought this concern
half year ago, figured that with my business
experience it would be simple to run. It's
turned out worse than Chinese puzzle. Last
night had to get rid of Bellows. He was an

''Of course it was a bust" Bardin said.
"Acme's business is peculiar. We appeal to
families whose incomes range from two
thousand a year up to twenty thousand; and
each income group needs a totally different
sales talk. Bellows sent the same literature
and the same follow-up to all of EN-"
The conversation ran for a full hour. Finally
Hayhurst said almost plaintively, Look here.

u Ordinarily he allowed himself but one
smoke in the twenty-four hours and that
after the evening meal. But on this morning
he felt 50 low that the thought of even a half
day at the New Acme Company called for the
solace Of tobacco.
The humidor in the living room desk held
one last cigar. He lit it and, as he puffed,
reflected unhappily, Ever since Hayhurst
bought Acme it's been madhouse. Hayhurst

He had reached this point when. with a
bang, the cigar exploded and the hall echoed
to joyous whoop.
"Richard!'
Yes, Papa"
Come here at once" He smudged the
frayed tobacco leaves in the ash tray as a
small boy advanced uneasily into the room.
Papa, it - it was joke"
Joke, eh?" All his suppressed anger at
the Acme management, anger which had
nothing whatever to do with Dick, cracked
open like the loaded cigar. Joke Yesterday

as he shredded into bits pages filled with
alluring pictures of small boys making them
selves the life of the party by the use of
Imitation Ice Cream, Itching Powder, Rub
Der Soap Exploding Fountain Pens and other
hilarious devices. When the last scraps plopped
into the wastebasket he saw tear roll down
Dicks left cheek.
IT WAS this little droplet which brought
the seething mixture in Bardin's heart to
boil Because of the continued stupidity of
the New Acme management he had been
unjust and cruel to his own flesh and blood.

vanished into the hall. Il quit. Yes, and I'll

IN a dispatch from the French

Additional disturbances were re-

bloodshed developed over French re-

posting of lists of factory workers

French factories are closed on Sat-
