George liked to work. but what boy in his “teens” would not sometimes long for the joys of Summertime, even though he never complained about missing them? When George's tather had died three years before, the tamily had been left in fairly com- !tortable circumstances, but since then George had worked every Summer. exze loomed only a few yvears away, and the money for it must come from the boy’s own efforts. A vacation wus something to ? though a job was enjo; But suddenly George changed his mind. If there were going to be e citement and maybe fighting down here, did he t to be off up the river, swimming? Hardly! If anybody was going to come to work, he'd be there. Yes, sir! ! The boy's musings were rudely in- terrupted. Suddenly the hum of voices in Mr. Judson's office was broken. There was a scuffle of feet, and the door opened. Three roughly dressed dangerous-looking men swaggered out of the room, their faces ominous and black. As they reached the hall, one of them, a huge burly fellow with a red face and a crooked nose turned to the little group of men standing inside the office door. i “And what's more, Judson, you hound,” he shouted with a leer on his face, “your own hide ain’t goin’ to be any too safe for a while. You can’t turn this bird down cold and get away with it. We'll see your rotten old mill burn down before we'll work in it another day, and that's final. From now on, look out!™ The office door slammed, leaving George Dbreathless with excitement. Film Fun for Young Folks 1S GETTING SMALLER AND SMALLER — ALL THAT HE HAS LEET IS A SMALL PIECE OF BACON).

The con- ference had failed. the mill would be | closed, and—well, they'd see if Paul's fears would be realized George zlanced at the clock. It w two minutes to The office force would be going home in a few min utes. Mr. Judson was talking in low tones to the men around him. He left them and came up to George's desk “George,” he said, “hold everybody here in the hall for a few minutes as they go out. 1 want to talk to them.” | “Yes, sir,” answered George. Mr. Judson’ hurried back to his office, and a minute later the gong downstairs clanged lou announcing the end of the day’s work. In a few minutes ployes began to come out of their vari ous departments. George stopped them, told them of Mr. Judson's w the office utes. Mr. Judson, followed by Mr. the office manager, and plant superintendent. came out of the owner's office, and the whisperings of the assembled workers were hushed. hall and, turning, faced his employes. In a few words he explained that he had been unable to satisfy the mill workers, and that the strike would begin at once. Because of the possible danger, he was not asking any of the force to come to work. None of the women would be allowed to come, but a few men would be asked to volun- teer to stay at the office and look after things. At his call for volunteers, every man in the office responded. And George was among them. Mr. Johnson smiled. “Thank you, men,” he said. “Well, T won't need you all. Let's see—I'd like the engineering department to come out, the pay office force, and—if T want s others I'll get in touch with you. That's all” The men turned. and the force filed from the building, sober and silent. Outside, the men from the mill were straggling from the gate, looking toward the office building. 111 feeling was apparent in their faces, but they made no disturb- ance. George grasped Paul's arm as they left the office. “Say, this looks like fun!” he exclaimed. “You're lucky, too—the engineers have to come out. ‘Well, I'm coming, too.” Paul glanced down at him. *“No, you'd better not. Better speak to Mr. Judson or Sparks about it, any- way,” 2 Just then a long, low automobile swung around the drive from the street and stopped in front of the office. In the front seat sat a boy of about George’s age, well dressed and good looking. Beside him sat a young girl, and George looked at her with a good deal of Interest. These were Bob and Betty, Mr. Judson's children. George had seen them before, and he had envied Bob a little as he called for his father in the evenings with that big car, but the Wallaces and the Judsons {lived in widely separated parts of | town, and he had never met them. Mr. Judson came from his office and started down the steps. “I'm going to ask him nov said George, and. dashing away from Paul, he approached the owner of | the company. 'Mr. Judson,” he burst out, “you a1an’t say anything about me com- ing to work tomorrow.

He started to dash away, but M Judson detaineg him with a word “Wait & minute, George. You haven't ever been out to my house have you? T'd like you to meet Bob and Betty.
