"Not a bit," Mid Penny, stretch ing the truth a little. "Why7" 1 "I'd like to show you somc . thing." , .' By now they were back In the center of Kirktown, bumping along decrepit Central avenue. Jim steered into one of the side streets, shifted scars and climbed slowly up .the hillside. "All this is terrible," said Jim, waving his hand In the direction of the tumbledown shacks. "No one should have to live like that. Ifs criminal to herd people into such unhealthy holes." At the top of the hlU he stopped, Inviting Penny to join him as he jumped out of the car. "This street," he said, "is the only decent street in Kirktown. It's high enough so that the air is pure and fresh. In summer, cool breezes make life pleasant up ncrc. "There's a plateau stretching back beyond the Kirk Memorial Building that's big enough to build at least 500 homes, enough to house everyone who lives in Kirk town now. There's a lot more room for expansion, too. I would tear down every one of the shacks along the lower hill. Make all that land a beautiful park, with a boulevard winding down through It to the edge of the mill." Jim studied Penny's reaction. He was flushed with the excite ment of his idea. "A model town would pay for Itself," he said. "I know it sounds revolutionary. The councilmen and the mayor and the few busi nessmen with sense in this town think it's impossible. They laugh at me." "Wonderful!" enthused Penny. "Some day, Penny, I'll show .them. I have an idea." He paused, searching for words. "Do you see that house hidden up' there in the trees?" Penny followed the direction of his fin ger, pointed at her home, the Kirk estate. . "VThat'i where John Kirk lived." (he- heard him say. "I have a bunch, Penelope Kirk will come back there, eventually. Then I'll get my chance to tell her a few things. I'm going to tell her, Penny. Even if I have to go back to Europe and kidnap her." . She started to say, "I'll help you, Jim." Then she clamped her hand over her mouth as if to hold the words in. He studied her, curiously. " a XTE was so full of his crusade for a better Kirktown that he didn't notice Penny's embarrass ment . fJTou're the first one who hasn't laughed at the idea," he said. "But it's just a dream that sounds good. What could you or I, or anyone else do to make it come true?" "You'd be surprised," Penny said, finding new courage. Jim Vickers, though he didn't know it, had won a powerful ally for his reconstruction program. If Jim could have understood the determination in her chin, and the resolution in her eyes, he might have wondered just what was running . through Penny's mind. In the gathering darkness, he noticed only that she had a lovely profile. "Hop in," said Jim, "101 take you home." Thanks," Penny saitL "You've made my first day in Kirktown a real pleasure." "it's only the beginning." he told her. "I'm going to make it my business to see that every day is pleasant" .The week that followed was an illuminating one for Penny. She was glad, now, that no publicity had attended her return from dis- Itant shores. For a little while, at least, she preferred to remain un noticed; With increasing frequency, Pen ny observed, the men who came to Pietro's huddled together in serious conversation. She studied their set faces. "Midge," she asked one day, "is something wrong? Have you no ticed the strained way the men are acting?" "Yes, Penny," was the quiet re ply. "I've noticed a lot of things in the last few weeks. There's trouble brewing at the mill." "Trouble?" Penny asked, be wilderedly. Before Penny could make fur ther Inquiries, Midge had lost in terest in the conversation. Over Penny's shoulder she grinned the big smile she reserved only for Bud Walsh. "Bud," Midge called, "what brings you here so soon?" In her eagerness to reach him, she dropped her towel, and saved her self from tripping only by a mir acle of acrobatic balancing. "Howdy, Midge. Hello, Penny," Bud answered, with a shy wave of his hand. He was tall, husky, handsome. His hands were the tough hands of a steel man accus tomed to hard work. He had the quiet power that characterized so many of the workers Penny had met a a . pENNY waited until Mldgo was called away. Then she asked, nonchalantly, "What's new at the mil?" ; - "Nothing much," 'BuUahawerb'cL "If always tha same." PENNY COPYRIGHT, 1141. NBA SERVICC, INC. "Do you like working at the mills?" Penny questioned. "Do II The Kirk mills are tops for my money," he said proudly. "Did you know that we made some of the steel for the Grand Coulee Dam? And some of Dad's steel was used in the Panama Canal." Bud hesitated a moment, debat ing his next words. "Dad says things aren't the same at the mills ow. Not like they were when John Kirk was running tilings. Old John was a wonderful fellow. He knew every man by his first name. He often brought his dinner pail along, and had lunch with the men. "By today's standards," BudVe flected, "John Kirk would be con sidered a slave driver. He wasn't, though. He worked as hard as the rest of the men. They liked him and they respected him. And John Kirk always took care of his men, too. He had a reputation for pay ing better wages than any of the big mills, and for taking an in terest in the fellows that worked for him." "You certainly make the good old days sound swell," said Penny. "Old John Kirk doesn't seem so much like an ogre from your de scription." "He was a great guy," said Bud. "Ask any of the old-timers. They'll tell you. The mills could use someone like John Kirk now. He understood men as well as steel. The gang that's there now under stands steel only. Morale isn't the same. John Kirk knew how to get his men to work for him until they couldn't lilt their hands. That was the secret of his suc cess." Midge was back now, glowingly happy as she always was when Bud Walsh was near. "Break it up," she pleaded. "Give me a chance, Penny." But Penny wasn't listening to THIS CURIOUS WORLD OB HI&HLY EVOLVED AN ANIMAL., THE MOSB ei-fJLSS IT IS AT B1ETH. COM. 1J BY KCA SCRYlCt. IXC T. M. RC U. S. PAT.
