Bill, an ther lettuce farmer, is @ great help and encouragement to Nelda. Reck, a wealthy playboy, and Neida’s fiancé, is unsympathetic with Nelda’s ambitions. Mrs. Reckless, is Reck’s haughty mother. Jack, Nelda’s younger brother, 4s in the hospital with injuries inflicted by picketers. Chapter 32 The Rift Widens By SEE your side of it,” Nelda said. “Oh, there must be some- thing terribly wrong with humar consciousness—this state of tur- moil we’te in—fighting each other like animals!” Her dark eyes looked fixedly and questioningly at the sky for a second as if she hoped to see some token, some answer to the vast problem. “It's sure terr’ble,” Liz agreed. “1 don’t want to quarrel with you,” Nelda resumed. “I'd rather be friends with you.” Liz shuffled one of her big, shabbily shod feet. The fight was all gone from her. “I ain’t got a thing arainst you. It's just—” she threw out her hands in a wide, inarticulate ges- ture. “If you ask me,” the other woman _ interposed, “there's crooks on both sides of the fence.” “You said a mouthful!” Liz con- curred. Nelda studied Liz. She looked middle-aged. She was one of those people who are born old. Her hands were toil-torn. A pair of faded blue eyes gazed out from under an old brown straw hat. Had those eyes ever held dreams, Nelda wondered. “I sure hope this strike’ll be settled soon,” Liz said with a cavernous sigh. “I'm payin’ on a little home and I don’t want to lose i Liz still dreamed. There rushed over Nelda the same affecton she’d_once felt for Mrs, Moresi, an affection compounded of sym- pathy. “I hope you don’t losé your heme,” she said gently. The embartassment that al- ways follows outbursts of emo- tion descended upon them. “We'd better be goin’,” Liz said to her companion. They climbed over the fence and clattered away in their old car, waving farewell to the girl on the other side of the fence. Nelda turned to Manuel who had been standing nearby, taking in everything. “I don’t know ‘whether you tts man,” she said, smiling at “T thought they was gofina beat you _up! Sure, I did!” “They might have if you hadn't REAM happened along, you little parti- san.” “Aw, gee! You ain’t.callin’ me = . “Phew!” exclaimed Uncle Ham. “Was he mad?” “He'll get over it,” Nelda said, but there was uncertainty in her tone, “Say!” Laura cut in. “Did you see. the way his mother looked at “I was too busy talking to Reck,” Nelda answered. “She looked as if we was all somethin’ that oughta be buried.” An hour later the first fleet of trucks started out from that sec- tign . . . 20 of them. The cab of each truck was protected by heavy wire screen. Nelda stopped her field work to go with the: riding with one of her drivers. highway patrolman led the pro-' cession; another rode in the cen- ter; afd another trailed it. In town, strikers lined streets through which the had to pass. But they did nothing €xcept to hurl jeers and insults at the drivers. Nelda caught a glimpse of fat Liz, and her heart contracted with | compassion. Oh, why couldn’t La< bor and Capital agree, she thought miserably. They needed each other so badly. Why couldn't they be friends? After her day’s work was done she wanted nothing so much as to go home and fall into bed, but she prodded herself to go to the hospital. She found Jack very restless and impatient to leave. “I'm well enough to go home,” he declared. “That doctor whé waited on me knows his stuff so far as fixing mie up is coricerned, but he’s 2 ninny. about keeping me here so long.” “But, Buddy—" A nurse entered and'said, “Doc- tor just'told me you ean go homé’ tomortow, Mr. Barrie.” i “Three. rousing . cheers)", jack “Doctor's orders,” the narsé sai: dmplacably. “Oh, heck! If I weré a doctor Pd— He halted, flushing hotly. Nelda preterided not to notice it newspapers that lay on the table beside his bed. “Tve been too busy today to read the papers,” Nelda said, un- able to keep the weariness out of her voice. “Your picture’s spread all over | the front pages.” No Dignity H® weariness left her for the moment and she pounced upon the papers. There were pictures of the battle that had taken place at the lettuce shed the previous day, among them several shots of her. The one where Bill had picked het up in his arms and tried to break through the crowd was startlingly clear. She was played up as the heroine of the affair and Bill as the hero. Her first th it was, “Reck will | never forgive this!” { Tt was odd, she reflected, that | she and Reck loved each othér. They had such opposite ideas in| so many ways.

In the distance Nelda saw a car coming along the highway, headed south. It look like Reck’s roadster. She recalled then that he had said he and his mother intended to go to Hollywood this | morning. Uncle Ham came across the field. Laura waddled behind him, panting from the unaccustomed exercise. “We came to see if we could help,” Uncle Ham said. “You'll be more help at the house.” Nelda told them, feeling a@ warm wave of gratitude for the | wi offer. “Neither of you could stand the stooping that’s necessary to! cut the lettuce.” “I suppose not,” Uncle Ham sighed. Like A Hot Wind car Nelda had been watch- ing came along then and drew to a stop. Reck locked out from the driver's seat. He wes rolling down the window. His mother was beside him. “Nelda!” he called with an overtone of reprimand.
