miners' wives.
"1 promised Balmy I'd be seeing
him in a day or two." she told
them. "He had me promise that
lust before he went down. He said
he knew hp would set through
You know what it means when
Balmy says he knows?
"Aye!" V he word was a sibilant
whisper which swept out into the
night: a whisper or hope.
"You'U have to help me. Our
men need food. It's up to us to
prepare it for them. I d like the
MacDonald women to stay here
while the Gregory women go to
Neutrality to buy the food. The
hotels will roast the meat and bake
the bread. We ll need pots and
kettles for coffee and soup. We'll
need fires and tables and dishes,
and we'll need beds where they
can rest betveen shifts.
"Our children?"
Kathleen thought of Bridget and
the big house. "We'll turn the
Gregory house Into a nursery
Miss Bridget and the school teach
er will take charge.
She paused and looked at them
again, Something had changed
They no longer stood in a huddled
crowd. (Junta and shawls which
had been pulled over their heads,
had been dropped to their shoul
ders. It was as though they had
discarded mourning. The eyes
were no longer stricken with fear
they were burning with intense
fervor, wide with hope and deep
with the loncinp for action.
The hours passed. Kathleen
worked tirelessly. Joey wide -eyes
brought a note from Bridget
and she left the hum of the com
missary to read it. With no seem
ing volition on her part she went

clearing away the rock that had
been blasted, making way for fur
.ther charges.
Overhead the cables hummed,
nearby the engines thrummed
steadily, pumping air to the res
cuers, sweeping away the fumes
of oowder and rock dust and gas.
and on the far side of the plat
form, the next crew waited: a
ghostly gathering in their yellow
slickers, and the gnome-Ilka pad
ding nf drill coats.
Kathleen opened the note.
Hurrah lot a oirl of pure cold. I'm
proud to even knout you.
The children, bleu them, are all In

Now, at vou suggested, I'm off to

But what has happened to Donald?

walk out on me like that.
See vou later, love,
Bridget
What had happened to Donald?
What had caused him to walk
out on his fiancee the very evening
they were celebrating their en
gagement? UraM'
THERE was only pain In that
thought and Kathleen felt her
heart held pain enough with its
burden of worry over Old Balmy
She'd wonder Instead what had
happened to Kit-Smyth. What if
he had gone Into Carsted to wire
her fnther?
Knthlpcn's heart arose In a lump,
turned over and settled down
Power of attorney had been given
her only for use In obtaining the
right-of-way and she had ridden,
roughshod over Kit-Smyth's In
sistence that they bargain.
She. a girl of twenty-three, had
crushed the barrier of nearly a
century when she led those men
over The Golden Girl fence. She
had defied a man twice her age,
one whom her fnther trusted.
"But Dad would have done no
dlfrcnt." she protested. Then
her chin came up "And If he
would. I'd only be glad I'd had the
oppnrlunitv to handle things
first."
A skip rattled to the surface and
the first casualty was carried out.
"Aw. it's nothin'." he protested
when Kathleen rushed to him.
"Just a hunk a rock hit me when I
wasn't lookin'."
Kathleen went on to the hospital
with him. The iniurv wasn't seri
ous, but it would keep htm out of
the rescue crews.
Returning to her post, Kathleen
did some serious thinking. She
had ordered the rescue of fifty odd

been tired when she had left the
Gregory house . . . was it only last
evening? She looked at her watch.
Four o'clock. Ten hours ago she
hasj sat across the table from Old
Balmy.
Her eyes filmed with tears.
Through the blur she saw the
headlights . of a car. Probably
someone coming from Neutrality
with supplies.
But no, surely no one would
come a: such a speed unless they
were bringing news of some kind.
She looked back towards the
mine, it seemed deserted. The
fresh crew of muckers had gone
down while she was at the hos
pital: the others were in the com
missary: still others, waiting to be
called, were sleeping, gathering
strength for their ordeal.
The car raced on. then came to
a slithering stop.
From it stepped Donald Mac
Donald His face was chalk-white,
his eyes immense and blazing with
a contempt she had never before
seen in anyone's eyes.
He saw her and with his lithe,
panther-like step came up to her.
For a moment he scanned her from
the tips of her toes to the top of
her tousled head.
"The Golden Girl I he spat
"Golden . . . brass is thp word. Here
you are!"
He thrust a folded paper at her.
"Here's what you came aflerl You
were going to barter your beauty
for It. Instead you're bartering the
lives of men. I'm telling you this.
You're not getting this right-of-way
because vou've done anything
to win it. You're getting It because
the little flnRer of anv one of those
men down there is worth a thou
sand womer like vou."
'Plated Tin'
THE paper fell between them.
Kathleen looked down at It In
a moment she would be able to
think, to reason. In a moment this
queer numbed feeling would leave
her . . . meanwhile, some place be
hind the frozen Immobility of her
conscious mind something told her
to take it This right-of-way Tbas
what she had come after. She had
been willing to barter her beauty
for it. She hnr! said there was nnlh
ino she wouldn't stoop to do to
triumph over this man.
And what a victorv this would
give her. She would accent this
symbol of success, sea) the bar
gain and only then let him know
he had given it needlessly.
"There's a clause in there allow
ing me use of the mine property."
MncDnnald told her.
He strode awav to the office.
Stiffly Knthleen knelt to pick up
the contract. She felt she hadn't
strength to arise again Palm of
her hand flat to the earth she
braced herself, and then she re
coiled from the touch of the earth
Down under the surface: two thou
sand feet down Old Balmy was
waiting for her to enrrv out her
promise Rlnwlv Kathleen fol
lowed MacDonald.
He was shouting Into the tele
phone when she reached the door
Knthleim could henr the hollow
tones nf the operator
"This is a private company, we
have no connection with the Mac
Donald trunk line "
"Then damn It all, get hold of
Old Balmy: get me some Gregory
miners. I'll pay them anything . .
Kathleen stepped up to the rfpsk.
"That Isn't necessarv." she ob
served lifelessly
MacDonald glared un at her as
she continued
'Fverv able-bodied man In Neu
trality. MacDonald and Gregory,
are working on the rescue. Crews
have been blnstlng through to vour
level from The Golden Girl since
early last night Thev were below

the fire."
Her voice had a peculiar tone
less aualitv now It deepened. "As
for this" she held out the con
tract and with . swift motion tore
It In half rent the sections nulled
the small pieces to hits and with s
final hurst of fury threw them nto
the face of Donald MacDonald

Strange as It seems, the "first
Thanksgiving day" celebrated by the
Pi J gram Fathers with the Indians at
Plymouth colony was actually three
days long and nearly resulted In the
starvation of the entire colony for
two years thereafter.
The now-famous banquet was at
tended by 61 Pilgrims and 90 Indians
the latter outnumbering the former
almost two to one. Chief Mnfisnsolt
and his red-skinned braves brought
with them appetites nearly ns fero
cious as their appearance.

The gluttonous Indians ate every
