Ever | since he was a boy he had worked! in coal mines, fought for a mere existance until he grew strong enough to take care of himself; lived in cheap boarding houses and] dinsipated whenever he had enough | money. He had no conception what- lever of morality, He followed the lines of least resistance, never gly, ing tomorrow a thought. On this particular morning, Big Ed loaded his first car leisurely,| the great muscles of his arms and| working like a well balanced| | piece of machinery. While waiting | for the driver to pull his load, he calmly went about preparing for his erjme, | He took a five-pound sledge, one that ho used for wedging off shots, and swyng it back and forth, test- ling his accuracy by shattering big chunks of coal, Having satisfied | himself that his aim was good, he carried the sledge to his powder box at the mouth of his room. Taking a watch from his pocket he placed {t carefully beside the sledge. The deep silence of a coal mine in- tensifies sound and Big Ea did not} intend to have the tigking of a | dollar watch betray his presence | when he was ready to strike, Then lhe sat down to patiently wait the | coming of the driver. When the driver had pulled his] load and delivered his empty, Big | Ed picked up his sledge and started |tor his buddy's room, a short dis-| |tance from the entry, He knew that the driver wouldn't return for at least half an hour, and he fig: ured that jt wouldn't take him over five minutes, ten at the most, to accomplish his purpose, aver since Johnnie life-long friend, had ma Moody, the germ of murder had formented in Big Ed's brain, A mire Whisper at first, it had grown stendily, crowding out the loyalty and affection he had felt for his friend, and filled his mind with an over-powering lust to kill.

Being a vain-glorious man he imagined] that she would soon tire of, Johnnie and turn to him. But as time went} on and the couple became more and more engrossed with each oth- er, he began to realize that Kitty was too much in love with Johnnie to ever turn to him. It was then that the thought of murder began to occur to him. He made no attempt to try to eliminate such a thought from his mind. ‘His desire for Kitty was the paramount issue of his existence. It enveloped him, took complete pos- session of him, caused him to de- liberately plan the murder of his best friend. He thought, with Jeannie out of} the way, that Kitty would turn to him. What would be more natural than for her to rely upon her hus- band’s friend in her hour of need. It would take time, probably a year or more, but Big Ed was willing to wait, By being kind to her, sym: pathizing with her and doing in- numerable small fayors for her, he thought that he could gradually edge himself into her life until she formulated a genuine affection for him, He knew that she must never suspect that he had anything to do with Johnnie's death. If she had even a faint suspicion of such a thing she would always hate him, So he had waited until circum stances were just right for him to commit the crime without a chance of detection. Before they had gone below that morning, the face boss had cau tioned Johnnie about passing winder a piece of white top that hungover his room neck, He was instructed to timber it well before he loaded any coal, White top in a coal mine is a rock formation that is as treacherous as a flash of lightning. Slabs of it weighing tons cling to the roof indefinately or they may fall at any time, without warning, Big Ed knew that Johnnie would disregard the instructions given by the boss and jond out what loose coal jhe had before he retimbered the room neck, It was safe enough at the face of the room where he did his loading and Johnnie never missed a chance to make all the money he could, As Big Ed cautionously moved down the entry toward Johnnie's room he was cool and calm, as the he was merely going to ask hi buddy for a plpeful of tobacco He planned to take Johnnie un awares, knock him — unconselou: with the sledge and place him ur der the bad plece of white top Then he intended to Jar the roc: loose with his sledge, He judge a rivals they | he : }th Be ap-| much of his) 5, thi They met her when they went to board at her father's house in Perry: that the piece weighed at least twe tons and when two tons drop six Both fell in Jove with her] feet and: hit a man it means finis courtship! for him. ight. } moving like a will-o-the.wisp, as he worked, Gripping his sledge firmly in. his right hamd, Big Ed began to cau. tiously creép toward his victim. and came running to see what the ANOTHER COMPLETE SHORT STORY MONDAY trouble was.
