A local union, organized in the Pennsylvania anthracite field, struck for high- er pay and better working conditions. This strike . failed. It was a decade before miners again organized. Since then there have been hundreds of walkou!s of various size and in various mining districts. Among the hundreds of strikes only five were big encugh to be compared with the present one, which breaks all records for number of men in- volved. During the panic of 1893 miners’ wages were cut. To regain this loss about 160,000 bituminous miners struck the following year. After disor- ders and calling out of militia in four states this strike ended in a compromise. In 1897 there was an overproduction of coal. ‘Anticipating a wage cut in a dull market 150,000 miners struck for three months. By then coal was scarce and wage cuts were out of the question. The 1897 strike was the first major victory of the United Mine Works of America. It led, in 1898, to firm establishment of collective bargain- ing between the union and the operators of the Central Competitive, District, the heart of the bituminous industry. The anthracite strike of 1900 won a wage in-jgiscouraged.

It was @ bone plunger, with a leather washer to make it air-tight. This plunger was inserted in a piece of hollow bone closed at one end. The dwarf carried a pouch made from the co- coon of a jungle moth. In this pouch he had a jsupply of tinder, dried vegetable powder-fider. He placed a tiny bit of the tinder on the end of the plunger, put the plunger in its bone holder, struck it one sharp blow. Pulling it out, the tin- der was afire. . This process, the reverse of a vacuum, causes ecmbustion by the compression of air. The jungle dwarf invention is the same prin- ciple as the famous Diesel engine, which gener- ates heat by compression. The jungle dwarfs of Malaysia probably hav: had this bone fire-maker for thousands of years. Yet it never occurred to them to apply the prin- ciple to anything except making fire. Rudolf Diesel, German inventor. born in Paris, discovered the same principle in 1893. He was quick to see its possibilities ' erating of power. wires Prat te The difference’ bé Jen’ Rudolf Diesel and the Malay jungle dwarf-.was largely onz of imagina- tion, the greatest beain faculty developed by civi- lization. os People talk about how many. great inventions are “stumbled on” by acciderit...

It corresponds to reserve Seventy-three years of intermittent strikes ‘in| stocks of coal, laid in bins by corporations, in an- * the coal fields! . It is:one of the oldest, of -all: labor controversies. vt BS The fact that no permanent settlement has been found in nearly three-fourths of a century is due largely to a peculiar problem in the coal in- dustry—seasonal buying. : Seasonal buying means that coal sales during certain months are dull. ‘Miners then are laid off, for the mines do not operate long when they have no market. ticipation of later*requirements. . Maturity draws heavily on our reserve energy. When are we worn out, ready to retire? It’s an old controversy. Dr. Osler created an interna- tional sensation when he was quoted as saying (which he later denied) that men of 60 had out- lived their usefulness and should be chloro- formed. t Georgé T. Ragsdale, héad of a police school in ‘Louisville, thinks the man who isn’t financially This condition necessitates keeping a labor | able to retire at 45 is a failure. We could all do ,, surplus in the coal fields, to handle orders .when they show up, like maintaining firemen in idle- ness, awaiting outbreak of fire. {If you can solve this problem—find a way to induce homes and businesses to buy more coal during dull months—you have the key to a labor battle waged since 1849. For, above all, what the miners always want is steady employment. EMERGENCY As union miners lay down their picks and walk out industrial plants and public utilities have enough coal in-their bins to run them about two months. é The importance of these figures is that indus- trial plants use 32 per cent of bituminous coal | production, public utilities 7 per cent. : At this time of the year, however, it is custom- ary for these two classes of consumers to have} 40 days’ coal supply ‘in storage. = That amount is necessary as insurance against | inability to get coal in summer and winter months| when coal buying normally is heaviest. ; A long-distance runner when he gets his second wind—begins drawing on his reserve strength— may keep on going, but the wall that protects him against exhaustion is very thin. | BTS) SUCCESS Henry Ford was 40 years old when he organi- : zed his auto company.

He desired it very. greatly., ,2he,,apportionment of duties, jn, the establishment. was that Sabre managed the publishing de- partment, _;. Twyning supervised the factory and workshops wherein the ecclesiastical and’ scholastic furniture wags produced, and Fortune supervised his two principals and every least em- ploye and smallest detail of all the business. In 1912 Sabre felt that he had now brought the publishing into line with the established departments. He had empha: d the firm’s reputation in this activity by the considerable suc- cess that attended two textbooks bear- ing (one in collaboration) his own name. “Sabre and Owen’s Elemen- tary Mathematics” and “Sabre’s Mod- ern Histdty-”: ‘ t The tributes with’ Which this slim history primer of’ one hundred and fifty pages for eighteen pence hac been greeted inspired Sabre towards a much, bolder work, on which the early summer of 1912 saw him begin- ning and into which ‘he found himse! able’ to pour in surprising’ volume thoughts and feelings which: he hac scarcely known to be his until the per and paper began to attract them.

The expre: hurt him, but when he thonght upo, it he reasoned with himself that he lad no. cause to ‘be hurt. Later he never mentioned “England” to her. But he most desperately wanted to talk about it to someone. He was not actively aware of it, but what, in those years, he came tt crave for as a starved child craves food was sympathy of mind. ‘He found it, in Penny Green, with what Mabel called “the most extra- ordinary people.” “What you can find in that Mr. Fargus and that young Perch and his cverlasting mother,” ‘she used to say, “I simply cannot iin- agine.” y, IL Mr. Fargus, who lived next coor cown the Green, was a gray little man with gray whiskers and al A good ,many congressmen privately admit they expect to be retired to the bushes at the: next: election.

He had a large and very red wife and six thin and rather yel- lowish daughters. ‘ And there were the Perches— “Young “Perch and that everlasti old mother of his,” ag Mabel called them. Sabre always spoke of them as “Young Rod, Pole or Perch” and “Old Mrs. Rod, Pole or Perch.” This was out of what Mabel called his childish and incomprehensible habit of giving nicknames—High Jinks and Low Jinks the outstanding and never-forgotten example of it. Mrs. Perch was a ‘fragile little body d one anoth-| she kept locked everythi whoge life should have been and could ASM Hutch ©1921 ASMHUTCHINSON have been divided between her bed and a bath chair. cf ; She was intensely weak-sighted, bu she never could find her glasses, anc lock, but she never could find her keys. ‘She held off all acquaintance: by the rigid handle of “that” before their names, ‘but she was very fond 0 | “that Mr. Sabre,” and Sabre returnec a great affection for her.

PART TWO NONA CHAPTER 1 I Sabre, ambling his bicycle along che pleasant Janes towards Tidborough me fine morning in the early summer xf 1912, was met in his thoughts by »sbservation, as he topped a rise, of the galloping progress of the light rail- way that was to link up the Penny Green Garden Home with Tidborough | and Chovensbury.

On. one side the lane was banked steeply up a‘ cutting. The horse of the rider on this side stood on its hinfl legs and appeared to be per- forming a series of postman’s double knocks on the bank with its fore- legs. ‘Lord Tybar, who bestrode it, and who did not seem to be at all con- cerned’ by his horse ‘copying a_post- man, Jooked over his shoulder at Sabre, showing an amused grin, and said, “Thanks, Sabre.

The other horse was standing with complete and eistirely nconcatned statuesqueness on the low bank which bounded the lane on his other. side. Lady Tybar had taken’ itor it had taken Lady Tybar—out of danger in a sideways bound, and horse and rider remained precisely where the side- ways bound had taken them ag if it were exactly where they had intended to go all that morning, ‘and as if they were now settled there for all time as a living equestrian ‘statue—a singu- larly striking.and beautiful statue. “We are here,” said Lady © Tybar. Her voice had a very clear, fine note. “We are rather beautiful up here, don’t you think? Rather darlings? No one takes the faintest notice of us; we might ‘be off the earth, But we don’t mind a bit. Hullo, Derry and Tomes, Marko is.actually taking off Bow, ‘ Derry.” ‘Her horse, as ff he perfectly under- gtood, tossed his head, and she drew attention to it with a deprecatory little gesture of her, hand and then said, “Shall we come.down nove? All right. We'll descend. This is us dp- scending, Lady Tybar, who is @ su- perb horgewoman, descending a preci- pice on her beautiful half-bred Derry and Toms, a winner at several shows.” Derry and Toms stepped down off the bank ‘with complete assurance and superb dignity. With equal precision, moving his feet as though there were marked for them.certain spots which he covered with infinite lightness and exactitude, he turned about and stood beside his partner ifi exquisite and immobile pose.* ° Tl Thus the two riders faced Sabre, smiling upon him. He stood holding his bicycle immediately in front of them. The mare continued to quiver her beautiful nostrils at him; every now and then she blew a. little agi- tated puff through them, causing delicacy. ‘Sabre thought. that the riders, with their horses, made the most striking, and somehow affecting picture of virile and graceful beauty he could ever have imagined. ‘Lord Tybar, who was thirty-two, was debonair and attractive of coun- tenance to a degree. His eyes, which were gray, were extraordinarily mirth- ful, mischievous. A supremely airy and careless and bold spirit looked through those eyes and shone through their flashes and glints and spapkles of diamond. light. ‘His face was thin and of tanned olive. His face seemed to say to the world, challengingly, “I am here! I have arrived! Bring out your ‘best apd watch me!” There were people—women—who gaid he had a cruel month. ‘They said this, not with censure or regret, but with a delicious- ly fearful rapture as though the cruel mouth (if it were cruel) were not the least ‘part of his attraction.
