"Mustard?" the youth behind the counter asked.

"No-no mustard," Gale told him. The sandwiches were appetizing, the coffee as flavoursome as it was fragrant. The warm, brightly-lighted room, after the storm outside, seemed a haven of comfort.

"Going to be a bad night," the boy behind the counter volunteered. "Got far to go?"

"Not far." Brinn told him. "Well, you're lucky.".

They went slowly. Presently Brian was talking again about the things he ARRIVES hoped to do at the mill Workers should be sure of employment, with no danger of sudden dismissal. They should have protection against hard times, brought on by lness. As the mill grew and expanded there should be an adjustment of wages so that the men and women who actually did the work should share the prosperity of the owners.

He said, "It's great to talk to some- one who'll listen to me, who doesn't think I've gone off on wild theories." "I don't see how anyone could call your theories wild.".

"They do, just the same."

"I don't think so," Gale assured him. **Thanks,"
