MONDAY, DECEMBER 14, SYNOPSIS. Sally Warren, at- tractive young society editor of the Warrenton Courier, becomes secretly engaged to Terry May- nard, boyish blond aviator who has been promised a South Amer- ican job. She won’t marry at once, feeling “er family needs her financial help. Tip, Sally’s pretty headstrong younger sister, is thrown with Terry who teaches her to fly. Handsome, da. : Philip Page buys the Courier as a strike starts in the Morris mill. He backs the workmen, seeking better liv- ing conditions. Sally surprises Tip and Terry on the porch and Tip Tuns away. Chapter 13 A Trip To Milltown ALLY went in search of Tip and found her lying across ner bed staring soberly out of the window. “What's the matter?" askec Sally. “Why did you run away a while ago?” “Stomach,” said Tip, without look- | ing at her. “Ate too much candy.” Sally was immensely relieved. Tip was always eating too many sweets and having to be dosed for it, like a child. “We're going on a picnic Sunday.” Sally told her. “Terry's idea—and you're to invite anyone you choose.” j Tip raised up from the bed. “Did he ask me?” 1936. “The farmers and s.iorekeepers are pretty friendly, now, because it looks like these folks may win their fight” “But what is it they want?” Sally insisted. “They want plumbing and water put in some of these shacks,” said Lola, “They want to make enough by their work to buy decent clothes and feed their kids what they ought to have. Anything unreasonable about that?” Lola brought the car to an abrupt standstill before a small house that differed from its neighbors only in having screens, “May McDonald’s the best dress- maker in town,” said Lola. “Because she can make something on the side, they've been able to put in screens and take better care of their kids.” The hum of a sewing machine came from the front room as they climbed the steps of the cottage. When they knocked, the noise ceased and May McDonald came to the door. “Miss Hopkins! I’m that glad to see you. You all step right in here, It’s a mess, but then it always is.” May led the way to the room that served her as bedroom, parlor an fitting room, Besides the sewing machine, there were two rockers and a bed, covered with a pink spread May had cro- cheted herself. “You've got plenty of work, as usual,” said Lola. “Yes, 1 reckon 1 ought not to com- plain, but seems like I'm going from morning till night—me and this old machine.” May put her hand on the “We're going on a picnic Sunday— to Clinton’s Mill.” “Of course, goose. We're going to Clinton's Mill for a swim, and take supper with us. Who will you ask?” Tip wrinkled her brow in a frown. “Philip Page,” she decided “You can't ask him.” Sally protest- ed. “He's not in your crowd He's older, and you scarcely know him.” “1 know him well enough.” said Tip coldly. “You neednt think I'm such a child 1 know what I'un doing—and if 1 can’t ask Philip Page 1 won't go.” “Ask him if you like,” Sally said slowly. “How The Other Half Lives’ ATURDAY at the office was al- ways a busy day. but on this par- ticular day there was added excite- ment. Lola Hopkins first brought the news to the big office. “What do you know?—Horton, the buildings inspector. has lost his job with the city.” she announced. “He expected that,” said Sally. heard him say so.’ “Mayor says the town’s got to cur- tail expenses.” Lola went on. “They're doing away with the job of build- ings inspector.” She turned to Sally. “We've got a call from McDonald. who's heading the workmen's dele- gation. Boss wants you to go with me to Milltown and take it down in shorthand” Sally went with Lola gladly. Lola seemed always to be in the thick of any excitement. and though she treated Sally with some condescen- sion, Sally did not mind “Bet you never been to Milltown.” said Lola, as they rattled down Main street. “It’s time you folks on Rosemary street found out how the other half of Warrenton lives.” At the edge of town, they turned off the paved highway and drove slowly down a narrow. unpaved road that led into the heart of Milltown Here were rows of little frame houses standing ton: ed on slen- der brick piles. The were hard. packed clay, wi the edges ot plants blossomed in ton lard buckets. The whole swarmed with children, who kept constantly getting in the way of Lo- la's car Women sat on the porches, and men stood about in groups, talk- ing and spi tobacco juice. “But why aren't they at work?” demanded Sally, uncomfortable be- neath the steady. almost hostile eyes of the people they passed “Some of them haven't any {WDE The others are stayi ut vested if they go back they xo on old ne Morris’ terms.” “But how will they live?” * village machine almost affectionately. She was a sweet-faced woman, with blue eyes and fair hair. But to Sally her face seemed pale and strained. “What have you done with the kids?” asked Lola. She put a paper bag on the table casually. “Some- thing for ‘em—l promised it last time.” “You don’t never forget, do you?” said May gratefully. “They'll be mighty pleased. | sent the lot of them over to the neighbors to play. This here dress has gut so many ruffles, an’ its so pure white I’m scared one of em will get a spot on it’ May showed them the cascade of white |vuffles she was working on. ‘We Can Starve’ “N R. McDONALD at home?” asked Lola casually. A frightened look came into May's eyes. “Yes,” she said nervously. “He's in the kitchen with some others. They're talking things over. You want | should call him?” “He's expecting me,” said Lola. May opened a door and McDonald came in. He shook hands with Lola and Sally. He was a big man with sandy hair, a gentle voice and a frm mouth. “There’s no good news for you, Miss Hopkins,” he said “We seen them at the mill this morning. They offered to show us the books, how they ain’t making enough money to fix up these here poor, pitiful little | houses. We can go back to work and starve or we can stay out and starve. That's the answer.” “How many do you figure have gone back im the mill?” questioned Lola. ‘Sally’s fingers Lew, writing in shorthand everything McDonald said. “There's 500 of us in all--200 that ain't gone back to work,” said Mc- Donald. “Give me a statement for the pa- per,” said Lola, “from yourself.” McDonald’s mouth shut tight He clenched his hands. May looked st him anxiously. “You can tell the rest of the folks in this town.” said McDonald, “we don't want nothin’ but our rights. We're asking’ for work, and enough pay to feed us, and a place for us to live like decent folks. We aim to fight for them things.” Sally felt a deep stirring of emo- tion within her. She felt sympathy and admiration for this man and his wife In silence they shook hi yn with McDonald, and left ‘(Capryright 1936 Bailey Wolfe) rin arecipitates a crisis for Sally ) “srry at the picnic tomorrow. | Peninsular & Occidental Steamship Company Erfective December 22nd, 1935.
