Pat stood over the stove frying some' eggs und doing a bad lob of it, could tell by her earnest air of preoccupation that she was a lit tie angry. But when she turned, there was a faint smile on her lips "Have a fried egg, Nick?" she asked me. "No thanks, Pat. We've eaten." There was a plate of dough nuts on the table. Eric reached out and took one. As he bit into it, he said: "Where is your father, Miss Temple?" "I haven't the faintest idea,' the replied. "His car Is gone," sold Erie. I pricked up my ears at that, and Brenda glanced at me briefly. "Father is a curious soul," she said. "He must have his news paper the moment he's awake, lie's probably gone to town for The Times." "The furnace fire's out," Pat called over her shoulder. "Hun down und build a new one, will you, Nick?" 1 was Kind to get out of that atmosphere of bottled-up ani mosity.

They mingled aimlessly and converged at the firebox door. Then I saw something else. With a curious feeling of ex pectoncy I went over for a closer look. When I leaned down, I felt something as Crusoe must have felt when he saw footprints on his desert isle. It was a very big foot, bigger than either mine or Mr. Hudson's, and the prints were quite clear. They ran straight across the cellar to the door thdt led to the bulkhead. I had started to follow them when there was the sound of movement behind me.

Then from no where came a second blow. It ex ploded with myriad lights in the dead center of my brain and I dropped as if struck by a mallet. ''T7ASY, old man." ' It was Charley. A strained smile was on his lips and Just beyond him I saw Pat's fuce, pale and anxious. "The fire," I said. "Put some coal on it." ' "Never mind the fire," answered Charley. "What hit you?" I sat up. "Where's Eric?" I said. Pat and Charley exchanged glances. Then Charley said: Lun you stand up, Nick?" He took me by the arm. As we went buck through the kitchen, fcrlc came in by the back entry. 'It Is not there," he said. What?" asked Pat. 'The axe," he went on suavely. I saw it by the carriage-shed this morning, but now It is gone."

Minara' Strike Vols On the day the strike vole was taken among the bituminous coal miners, the national labor rela tions board paid $.'15 a day to stu dents of the University of West Virginia, Iwlh men and co-eds, to stand at the mouth of the mines und take the vote in the Morgnntown irea. The govern ment also furnished transporta tion. The college studants worked a 12-hour day; but even so, some of them felt they were overpaid. The ballot thry asked the miners to sign as lliey came out of the mini's read: "Do you wish lo permit an interruption of war production in-wartime as a result of this dispute?"
