He said knew he would get through. You know what it means when Balmy says he knows?” “Aye!” The word was a sibilant poo og which swept out into the night: a whisper of hope. “You'll have to help me. Our men need food. It’s up to us to fipeere it for them. I'¢ like the ‘Donald women to stay here while the Gregory women go to Neutrality to buy the food. The hotels will roast the meat and bake the bread. We'll need pots and kettles for coffee and soup. We'll need fires and tables and dishes. and we'll need beds where they can rest betv-gen shifts.” “Our ¢hildren?” thought of Bridget and the: big house. “We'll turn the G house into a nurse! a and the school teach- er will take charge.” She paused and looked at them my Something had changed. no longer stood in a huddled crowd.

With no seem- ing volition on her part she went to the mouth of the mine, perched men at the risk of hunareds of | men's lives. It was a large responsi- ility. Too large. She was tired.

She loo! back towards the mine, it seemed deserted. The fresh crew of muckers had gone down while she was at the hos- pital; the others were in the com- missary; still others, waisineito be called, were sleerinr fe ering strength for their ordeal! The car raced on, then came to a slithering stop. From it stepped Donald Mac- Donald, His face was chalk-white, his eyes immense and blazing with a contempt she had never before seen in anyone's eyes. He saw her and with his lithe. anther-like step came up to her. ‘or a moment he scanned her from the tips of her toes to the top of her tousled head. _ “The Golden Girl!” he spat. “Golden... brass is the word. Here ju are!” He thrust a folded paper at her. “Here’s what you came after! You were going to barter your beauty for it. Instead you're bartering the lives of men. I'r telling you this. You're not getting this right-of- way because you've done anything to win it. You're getting it because the little finger of any one of those men down there is worth a thou- sand womer like you.” ‘Plated Tin’ 4 hots paper’fell between them. Kathleen looked down at it. In a moment she would be able to think, to reason. In a moment this queer numted feeling would leave her... meanwhile, some place be- | hind the frozen immobility of her conscious mind something told her to take it. This right-of-way was what she had come after. She had been willing to barter her beauty for it. She hae said there was noth- ing she wouldn't stoop to do to triumph over this inan. ! And what a victory this would The Key West Choral Society held its regular meeting at the home of Mrs. Ralph G. Milner on Flagler Avenue, and it was very successful. Prior to practice, the proposed constitution was brought before the club and the provisions there- of were duly ratified. It was de- cided that there would be no dues other than that each mem- ber would pay in $1.00 prior to December 9th, this money to be used for the purchase of music, which will become the property of the individual paying for the same. It was also announced at the meeting that all subsequent meet- ings of the group will be held at the National Guard Armory at the corner of White and Southard streets.
