WNU Service.
But he gave her a one-sided grin
and tramped off, his two sandwiches
in his coat pocket
At the mill office hd found Virgie
already at her desk, with Lucy and
Daniels standing about, their faces
worried.
“ Come along in,” Virgie ordered
as he opened the door. “ You’ll have
to know about this. Seven men
quit this morning.”
“ The Spains—and the two Ander-
sons,” Lucy added* “ Billy Mount
and his boy and Lucius.” Her eyes
were sorrowful and accusing. Her
manner said louder than words,
“ This is your fault” Daniels was
fiddling nfervously with the bunch of
keys in his fingers. For an instant
Branford Wills got the impression
that Daniels was evading, that there
was something defensive in his man
ner, but he put that aside. They
were all worried, Virgie most of all.
“ That West Virginia stuff has to
go through,”* she said. “ We’ll have
to have somebody to tend the deck
er.” For twenty years Billy Mount
had tended the great machines, tak
en a fierce pride in the texture of
the pulp that rolled through the
presses.
“ Could I do it?” Wills volunteered.
“ I have ordinary intelligence. I
think I could do what Billy Mount
could do.”
“ I need you outside,” Virgie said.
,4With the Aiidersons gone we’ ll need
somebody to get stuff in.”
“ But—why should those fellows
quit?” Wills asked. “ There’ s no oth
er place for them in town. : You
treated them well—”
“ They probably had reasons—fair
ly good reasons.” Daniels wa$ a
trifle dry.
“ Look here—if I’ m in any way
responsible for this—” Wills began
vigorously, but Virgie waved a hand.
“ Sit down—and keep your head
on and your shirt-tail in! I’m re
sponsible for this. Wallace Withers
wants to buy this milL Somehow
or other he’s working against me.
How, I don’t know yet. But I will
know. It’ s a fight Wallace says
he’ll put me out of business if I
don’t selL Maybe he will—but he’ll
have a merry little time doing it.
If you people want to stick with
me—”
