BEGIN HERE TODAY DUly Gilliam, her mother. Mrs. Gilliam. with Leila Thombury. a divorcee, are trimming- a Christmas tree in the Church of the Nativity, a fashionable church of New York. Mrs. J. Orson Tice society leader, comes in with Jerry Goodklnd. a man-about-town, who is interested in Clare Jewett, engaged to the Reverend Daniel Gilchrist, the assistant rector of the church, in bad favor because of his radical sermons. Dr.t Wadham. the rector, drops in to attend a masting of the wardens. Jerry proposes marriage to Clare. Clare breaks her engagement with Daniel. Clare marries Jerry for his money. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY SIOMEHOW, her marriage to Jerry Goodkind had not served its purpose. True, it had shut the door to Gilchrict, but it had penned her within four walls while it left him the rest of the world. But the fence was built and there was no tearing it down. As her isolation bred restlessness Clare sought diversion. This night, her husband, a none-too-attentive Jerry, was hack from a business trip to the coal fields and his return had been excuse enough fo# a dinner party. An austere servant summoned George F. goodkind from the music

A SERVANT HAD OPENED THE DOOR FOR A SMALL,, WIRY MAN room. Away from the blare of jazz and gaiety, he looked at the proffered card. Stepping to the glass paneled door he summoned Charlie Benfield to the lbrary- Benfleld's eyebrows arched inquisitively as he rned the card. “Labor conciliators,” he repeated. “What th—” “Mostly thugs,” answered Goodkind. “When you’ve been in the mining game a 'little longer you’ll know. We’ve got $1,000,000 worth of them handling this strike.” “Police duty?” queried Benfield. r “Xo. Spies and agents provocateur. 1 haite the breed, but what are you going to' do' *3oetit it? Thisv-dettr>'-, Max Stedtman, is a smart one. He got into the union five or six years ago—and now he’s one of the delegation they’ve sent up to me. Pretty handy, eh? Where’s Jerry? “I gave him the high sign. Why didn’t you go down to West Virginia?”

Makes a Family Supply of Cough Remedy K rally better than ready-made rough yrupa. and saves about It. Easily and quickly prepared.

If yon combined the curative properties of every known "ready-made” cough remedy, yon probably could not get as mueh real curative power as there Is in this simple home-made cough syrup, which is easily prepared In a few minutes. Get from any druggist 2% ounces of Plnex, pour It Into a pint bottle and fill the bottle with syrup, using either plain granulated sugar syrup, clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, as desired. The result Is a full pint of really better cough syrup than you could buy readymade for three times the money. Tastes pleasant and never spoils. This Pinex and Syrup preparation gets right at the cause of a cough and gives almost immediate relief. It loosens the phlegm, stops the nasty throat tickle and heals the sore, irritated membranes so gently and easily that it is really astonishing. A day’s use will usually overcome the ordinary cough and for bronchitis, spasmodic croup and hoarseness there is nothing better. Pinex is a most valuable concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine extract. and has been used for generations to break severe coughs. ■avoid disappointment, ask your LSt for ounces of Pinex” with lections, and don't accept anything Ikiaranteed to give absolute satis- ■ r money promptly refunded, ■ex Cos., Ft.

“What do I know about coal mining?” "You’re president of the company.” Goodkind laughed. “That means digging'up money—not coal. I’ve never set foot in West Virginia and I don’t want to. I sent Jerry. He has a dozen qualifications and no scruples. And I sent Gilchrist.” “Who has scruples and no qualification,” put in Benfield. “Thus striking a balance. I mean that. Don't make any mistake about Gilchrist. He's valuable. I didn’t hire him because I was sorry he got fired out *of the church—and only a little because I knew his father. I hired him because he has theories and I wanted to try them out.” “I’ll say he’s got theories,” Benfield commented sarcastically. “Yes—and the remarkable part of ii is that sometimes they work. They worked at that pcwer plant in Canada. A year ago I wouldn’t have taken it as a gift. Gilchrist applied a little soft soap—” “Or was it gold dust?” “Well, both, damn it, Charlie, with all the increased wages and decreased working hours the plant’s making money now for the first time.” Jerry had joined them now, a little sullen from a mixture of brandy and resentment. “There’s something in Gilchrist,” the elder Goodkind continued with a quiet earnestness. “Mostly bugs,” said Jerry gruffly. “I told you what he was doing at the mines. Now he wires ‘Everything settled if you accede to rational conditions.’ What conditions? I’ll tell you now—surrender. They’re sending up a delegation, but we’ve nothing to discuss. They’re our mines and we’ll run ’em as we like. What’s the idea of the high sign?” “Stedtman’s on his way up,” said Goodkind. “We’re leaving our gulfets flat.” “Your wife’s in there.” “Clare resented our talking business at home.” “Resents, eh!” said the father. “And you haven’t been married a year. Palaver’s a wife’s job. They oil the machinery while we shovel the coal.” A servant had opened the door for a small wiry man, with the face of a ferret and the furtiveness of a rat. Max Stedtman’s nervousness gave the impression of always looking ever his shoulder to see whether he was being followed. “Well—the committee’s on its way.” He spoke with a secretive, over-con-fident air. “Who’s in your delegation?” asked the elder Goodkind. “I’m chairman,” Stedtman boasted. "We got a Pole named Umanski. He’s pretty red. You can’t do anything with him. But there’s a fellow named Joe Hennig—” “Who’ll listen to reason?” Goodkind but the .question in the matter of fact way that characterized him. "I think so. He’s got a pretty wife.” “What's that got to do with it?” “Lots. Pretty wives like pretty things. Hennigs in debt and this girl’s on his neck every minute. She’s a peach. You know her, Mr. Jerry?” Jerry shifted a bit. "No,” he said, with an unnecessary firmness. Stedtman eyed him shrewdly for a minute. Then his eyes took on a rodent-like narrowness. “Oh,” he said nonchalantly,” I thought I saw you talking to her cnee. Anyway. Gilchrist knows her —well.” This time his tone had meaning. “You mean—” interrupted Benfield. “I mean I wouldn’t mention Gilchrist to Joe Hennig,” said Stedtman emphatically. “That’s rot.” scorned Goodkind with an air of dismissal. “Any how,” continued Stedtman, “Hennig and me is two votes and I figure Hennig’s ’ll cost about —” he eyed them critically—“let's say $15,000.” The figures drew surprised looks. “I don’t like bribery,” said Goodkind half-earnestly. “Not when it isn’t necessary,” put in Benfield.

“And Gilchrist wired yesterday ‘Everything settled.’ ” “On conditions,’.’ added Jerry doubtIng’y. “Teh—on their condition.” Ptedt man was warming up now. “This Gilchrist has double-crossed you. He’s been at their union meetings. He got ’em to send this delegation and he tried to get ’em to turn down Hennig, our one best bet. Take it from me—” “I won’t take it from you or anybody else,” interrupted Goodkind im patiently. “I know this man.” “Well, he’s gone around talking compromise.” Stedtman was cowed a bit, but not subdued. “Compromise ain’t no way to settle a strike. He’s givin’ ’em confidence. Why, we got a hundred of our guys down there tellin’ ’em they ain’t got a chance to win. That’s the system. We got special police clubbln’ ’em every time they try to hold a meeting. You wouldn’t believe what we done down there in the way of harmony!” “It’s all been done before,” put in Goodkind. “Never no completer,” boasted Stedtman. “We’re workin’ the black list and if a guy opens his mouth too wide somebody—he don’t know who —tips the Government he’s a Red. We got ’em so they ain’t sure of their own brothers. We're postin’ bills in seven languages saying: ‘Why should workmen mistrust the company? This is the land of opportunity. America is calling you. Go back to work.’ ” He drew closer in eagerness and went on. “The boss has a scheme now to start a riot between the Poles and the Wops. Troops and scabs and machine guns. What stopped it? One gent that don’t know nothin’ about harmony—or nothin’ besides bangin’ around after a skirt. If you got to use hribery now, don’t blame me, blame Gilchrist.” Benefield banged the table with his fist. 1 f “Hel# absolutely he shouted, emphatically. \

“Os course, he’s right,” Jerry agreed, sullenly. "What did you expect of a man kicked out of his church for Bolshevism?” “He ought to be brought back right now,” pursued Benfield. “He’s coming back—” A servant ii terrupted “Yes, what is it?” “Two men to see Mr. Stedtman," he Said. “Bring them in,” said Goodkind. Stedtman’s nervousness increased. “Now look—” he/ said quietly, but excitedly, "don’t nothin’ before Gmanski. Just give us an excuse to vote right, and then we’ll go out, and shake him and I’ll come back with Hennig. Now. then —” His whole bearing changed. He drew himself up into a pose that was hypocrisy itself. When the two stocky, swarthy figures entered he was saying to the trio in evening clothes: “It’s very good of you gentlemen to see us. I was goln’ to meet my friends outside —but you been so kind and agreeable—Oh, here they are now —Hello, Joe!” CHAPTER IX Umanski The contrast of the men arrayed against each other was easily discerned in the manner in which they stood out from their background—the lUSUriant, pretentious library of a mar of wealth and taste. The three carefully-groomed men in evening clothes blended as., harmoniously into this setting as the stately, costly furnishings themselves. The other three cast harsh, eharp-lined shadows against this opulence.
