CHAPTER XII

The ne in the cafeteria shuffled forward, past wells of bean and tomato soup, past trays of cabbage and macaroni and cheese and beet stow, on to the small, glittering mounds of red and gold gelatin, the prunes and solit-looking wedges of Apple pie,

The heavy porcelain dishes chat tered and voices buzzed-now rising and lowering in volume, broken in upon by shrill laughter or a sharp exclamation. It was lunch time for the day shift in the mill.

Gale Henderson, halted by the line In front, rested her tray against the stram table, She nodded and said, "Yeathe tomato soup," to the woman across the counter. Some one jogged Golo's elbow as the woman set the bowl on the tray and the thick red liquid splashed, Gnie turned. She board the voice of a girl in front:

"Suppose you heard about the fight last night?"

"You mean Vogel and Phil Hemler Mou?" It was a different girl speak. lag now.

"Yeah. Know what started it?" "Ruby, I suppose."

"Sure. What all these guys see in that daine-but I guess I WA Kome fight! Phil ought to know better than to try to cut in on Ea Vurci

"Say. I thought it was just the other way around?"

The first girl shook her head know- ingly, "No, I've got the straight of it," he said. "Blanche ftyan told me and she used to go around with Ruby all the time. Blanche says it's the limit the way Huby is always two-timing guys. Just the Phil ought to leave Vogel alone.. Ed Vegel can lick any man in the mill. That's what my brother ways—”

same,

The two girls had reached the end of the line and made their way toward a table. Galo halted, holding her tray. Colour famed in her checks. She was angry at the girls, angry at Phil. What way for him to be- have! No wonder i'd left the house 80 early that morning. Fighting with a brute Bke Ed Vogel. Over a girl like Ruby Griffith That's who they meant, of course.

She wished she didn't have to aft

with anyone at lunch to-day. But abo did. There were no individual tables in the mill cafeteria. There was Jorie Gridley at a table whare there was a vacant place. Gale made her way toward it."

Jasic said, "H'io, Gale. Suro there's room for you" and pushed some dishes anide. "Well," she went on, "what

think of the now boss?" do you

The new boss?" Josio nodded. "Briap Westmore," she explained. The old man's son. They say he's going to work here now that in, If you can call it work, alt- ting in a swell office like Thatcher's, giving orders and all that. That was him Thatcher was piloting around yesterday, Didn't you see "om."

Gale said, "I saw them, but what makes you think Brian West muro's going to stay here? Maybe he's just home for a visit."

Josie's nod was negative and em phatic. "No," she said, "Bill Keeley knows a fellow in the business office and ho said this fellow Bill knows, I mean that young Westmore's got napocial office, right next to That cher's Gee, he's swell looking? Don't you think so? Tall and dark and such swell clothes. They say he's. the round been everywhere - all world."

"And he paints pictures," the girl across the table put in, "That's what he

"I bet that wasn't all he did," her neighbour added knowingly. "I've seen it in the movies-the way they cut loose in Paris. Champagne and swell parties and girls dressed up in feathers and not a stitch of anything else. I saw a movie just last week where there was a fellow who was an artist "

ing bell rang. "If only I know what to do about Phil," she thought again. "If only I know how to help him!"

She was back at her place, hands ready, a full minute ahead of time. The warm, melst air pressed about her,

Now the spindles were dancing again. Tho machines roared. Sixty women in blue dresses, heads and fingers moving as though they were machines, too, clamped on bobbina, twisted the thread, snapped them off. arme and machine arms; Human human fingers and machine fingers; up and down, up and down-

That was the afternoon Connie Bauman fainted. Gale didn't roo what happened. She didn't know anything about it until she heard Flahor, the foreman, saying some thing in a loud voice. Gale turned and saw Connie on the floor. Another girl was leaning over her and Fisher was bealde them..

"Here, you!" he called to Gale, "Help us get her out of heret"

They had to carry her. Connie's eyes opened when they were in the corridor. She tried to speak but, though her lips moved, no sound came. They took her through a door marked, "Emergency." into a little room in which there was a couch.

A crowd of half a dozen had gather- ed about the door. Someone said. "They ought to keep her hend down. They ought to put water on her face." Another said, "My sister fainted once"

She slipped past him then, hurry. ing down the hall. "Wait a minute!" Brian called, He took a step after her, the girl apparently did not hear. She was out of sight in another in- stant, disappearing through a door from which came the grinding roar of the machines.

Connie did not come back to work that afternoon. Voicus buzzed in the wash room at quitting time. Some- onn. Kaid Connie'd been warned by a doctor that her lungs were infected, Another said, no, it won't her lung*; it was her heart.
