was here that during the reign of
King Charles v forks were used for

Looking exultants he replaced

thoughts, then he turned to face
Janet, seeming almost surprised
at finding her still there.

ing of Importance"
She rose to go, feeling almost
angry and annoyed. "Then that
will be all?"
He stared up at her curiously,
eyes that will be all, Miss Har-
ris."
Out in the corridor she stood
before the elevators watching the
big dial over one of them. It had
halted at four, then slowly it be-
gan to move as the elevator de-
scended without further stops.
The doors slid apart and one
of the hospital stewards wheeled
out an oxygen tank. Janet felt
sharp premonitory twinge. . i.
Someone on the fourth floor

They ordered it for old Mr..
Hartigan."

knew what it was all about.
Mr.. Hartigan's frail, claw-like
hand shielded the rest of the
paper SO none Of them saw the
terms of the will. It was all very
mysterious.
When she had stopped IN to
see him few hours ago he had
grinned up at her mockingly. .
Still hanging on" he chuckled.
Except for faint blue tinge
around his withered old lips, he
looked unchanged and she felt
unreasonably glad.
won't you let me call your
lawyer now, Mr.. Hartigan?"
Il suppose you'd better" he
agreed amiably. "The deed is
done. All that remains is for j. D.
to put it in the phraseology of
the legal profession"
She laughed then. Il am afraid
he's going to be annoyed with
you"
He chortled dryly, Small doubt
of it." Then his features stiffened
and grew stern. I'm in my right
mind, Janet, and this is my last
will and testament don't ever
let anyone persuade you other
wise"
His tone had been so vehement
that she had said, what do you
mean?"
But he had refused to explain
further.
She had phoned J. D. Prem
tice and even now the prominent
lawyer was closeted with Mr.
Hartigan.
She moved down the corridor
to DR.. Eynon's office. For once
the little anteroom was empty OF
patients and she went on into his
office.
He turned to her. "You haven't
seen DR.. Bronson recently, have
vou?"
Her voice echoed her surprise
Why, yes. l just left him. Why?'

said. It was too late for the oxy-
gen when they found him."
In spite of herself, Janet's eyes
filled with tears.
Two weeks later Janet stood
before the full-length mirror of
her room in the nurses resi-
dence and nervously put the fin
ishing touches to her hair and
uniform.
What could this summons from
DR.. Farquhar, the head of Cos
mopolitan Hospital mean? She
ran rapidly over her conduct OF
the past month and could think
of no infringement Of the rules.
Besides, reprimands always came
from the head senior nurse unless
they verged on dismissal which
was a very rare occurrence.
The corridor to DR.. Farquahar'S
offices seemed very long. In
answer to her knock his bluff,
hearty voice asked her to come
in.
He was a big, jovial man with
a face almost dangerously red.
Strangers expected him to keel
over with apoplexy but he had
been that way all his life and
well-earned vacations spent hunt
ing and fishing merely heighten"
ed his color.

''Never mind, l used to be a
lawyer at one period of my long
life and 1 know what I'm doing.
Isn't there someone else-any-

mo need to, Charlie will do
fine. Get him, Janet, and bring
all three of them in here at once.
AS she left the room she heard
him emit a dry, SNUG little
chuckle.
DR.. Eynon had returned from
the laboratory. He and Cliff Bron-
son were standing facing each
other and the shaded night light
threw their features into queer
gargoylish silhouettes against the
ceiling.
Janet Harris was still puzzled
over old Mr.. Hartigan as she
made her way into the operating
theater the next afternoon.
She had asked DR.. Eynon and
Cliff to come into his room last
night along with Charlie, the ele-
vator man. The two doctors un-
derstood at once that it was bet
ter to humor the old gentleman
and they signed their names and
addresses at the bottom Of the
document. Charlie doubted if he

"Come in, come in, Miss Har-
ris," he said cordially, II believe
you've already met Mr.. Prem
tice?"
Janet murmured a greeting.
What was J. D. Prentice, Mr..
Hartigan's irrascible lawyer, do
ing here? Probably wanted to
question her about the will. He
tilted his head back and peered
down his long nose through the
upper half of his bi-focal pince-
neZ.

ices Ior Mr.. Hartlgan last week" "

There had been something pa
thetic about the lack of sincere

lied that Mr. Hartigan himself
would have been amused rather
than embittered by it.

to discuss it with him this after

WASHINGTON. Oct. 21.-A strike by pilots--first of it's kind in com- mercial aviation-halted all flights today by Trans World Airlines planes in the United States and across the Atlantic.
 The surprise walkout capped a months-long controversy over high CT wages for the company's 1,40o pilots and co-pilots who have been earning from $7,600 to $9,100 a year, including base pay and other allowances.
 Shortly after the strike began at 4:59 am. (EST). the company can celled more than 90 scheduled flights for 24-hour period and cancella- tion will be extended each day un- less the strike is settled.
 The company estimated that 5000 passengers booked on grounded planes were stranded or shunted to trains and other airlines. Approxi- mately 9 tons of mail likewise was shifted to other transportation.
 Among those grounded-at least temporarily-was the Indian delega- tion to the United Nations Assem- bly,. VIVA reported it was making efforts to get them aboard other planes from Shannon, Fire, to New York.
 IVA, the nations fourth largest air carrier, was the only airline hit by the strike which David l. Behncke, head of the AFL Airline Pilots Association, described as a Hast recourse" in the prolonged wage dispute.

 OF DIVISION
Sees Early Statehood for Separated Alaska
 Coastal Region

SEATTLE, Oct. 21. = Territorial Sen Norman R. Walker, of Ketch- ikan, proposes that Alaska be di- vided into two territories to facil- southeast and south central coastal areas.
 He said here Saturday he would press for action at the next Aloska legislative session to ask Congress to make the division.
 Results of the recent balloting in Alaska on the question of state hood make it clear such split would be desirable for many Alas kans, he said.
 Tn the first and third districts he vote was three to one for state hced," he pointed out, and in the second and fourth districts the vote was against the measure. The first and third districts could early support statehood
 The districts favoring admission of Alaska as a. state are roughly the coastal areas while those in the interior are unfayorable, the Sem ator said.
 He predicted that if his recom- mendation is adopted the first and third districts would become a state within five years.
