"Gertrude is a fine, worthy girl."
Interrupted Jeremiah, with an un

"Do you call at Peter Jordan's

man. craftily. "Do vou spend an
evening with Gertrude every week,
as I told you to?"
”No,” said Jock. “I don"t."
"And why not*" roughly demand
ed Jeremiah.

“Not •interested?”* scoffed his

too busy, this morning. Get to your
work!"
He spoke as though ordering a dog
out of the room Joc't fought back
the sharp retort he longed to make
—hesitated, then pocketed the two
do liar bill and left the room.
To soothe his ruffled spirit, he
made a detour ou the war to bis
own department. In order to linger
for a moment beside the machine
where Amy Prentice was at work.
He needed something to palliate the
recent interview.
A foreman was beside her and she
«as pointing out to him that the iev
er which stopped and started her
machine had become jammed. The
foreman took hold of 'be lever and
tried to manipulate it. It waa stuck,
and he tugged harder at it.
And at that moment caught sight
of Jack, who was but a step or two
away. Resting one hand on the
needle rack, she rose tc greet him
As she did so, the foreman, whose
back was toward her. gave the lever
a final savage wrench.
The obstruction vielded to his tug.
With a noisy whirr, the machinery
started. Jock taw the girl ’s peril,
but bis cry of warning and his for
ward spring were too late. Down
swept the set of needles onto the
rack. One of them drove its way
through the side of the girl t hand,
near the wrist.
Amy tore herself free, with a gasp
of pain, and reeled, half awoooing
Jock caught her in his arms. Still
supporting and almost carrying the
girl, be bore her to a bench at one
end of the loom-loft
Thera, with the help of one of the
girls, he washed out the ragged
wound and bound it up as beat he
could Amy refused to allow him to
oall an ambulance, or even to send
for a carriage. Weak and shaken as
she waa, she Insisted on walking
home.
Jock pot ob his hat and coat and.
despite her protests, declared he was
going to see her to her own door.
On the way, he made her stop at the
office of the McCall physician and
hare the hurt property dreesed.
Then, leaving her with her mother,
he started back to work.
Passing a provision store on Ike
way, he spent bis only two dollars
on a basket of fruit, which ho him
self carried to the Injured Amy. It
waa the first time he had ever been
able to buy a present for a girl aad
the experience delighted him.
He returned to the mill, to learn
hla tether wished to see him at ones.
With slaking heart, Jock went to
Jemnlah McCall’s private office. He
found the great man stamping back
aad forth on the carpetleea floor, hla
hands behind hie back, his face pur
ple with wrath.
"What”* this I hear about year
letting a girl out of the mill, after
she's been awkwnrd enough to get
herself hurt?" he sauted.
“Miss Prentice waa too badly In
jured to go on with her work to
day." explained Jack. Bo I "
"You young fool!" roared Jere
miah. "do you mean to say ycu let
her get away without signing a re
lease? Now every shyster lawyer In
BUk City will be after her to bring
suit against us. And the papers will
publish a lot of rot about our unsafe
machinery."
"Her machine was unsafe." d*
dared Jock. "The lever wan defec

the machine had l>e*n in proper con
dition, she wouldn't have been hurt.
Bhe baa s dear case, under the Em
ployer's Liability Act. And "
"A clear case!" snorted Jeremiah.
"Hear the numbskull talk! How
many ‘dear oases' did vou ever hear
of my having to settle—Employer's
Liability Act or no Employer's Lia
bility Agt? Not s single one. My
hurt employee have to sign general
building. I have ways of making
’em do it as you know—except when
my Idiot SOQ lets them escape to the
neatest lawyer, a pretty me**
you’ve got us in! What business
was It of yours, anyhow?''
"She waa a woman and she was
suffering." faltered Jack.
”8o you want to make me suffer,
too. hey? Well, the suffering will
not be all mine If that girl brings
suit, you're going to pay the costs
of It. Remember that.''
Jock laughed mirthlessly
“What am I going tc pay them out
of?*' lie asked. "Out of my high
wages here or out of the f»t n-U of
' pocket money you dole out to me?"
I “You’ll pay, In longer woik hours;
i l 0 one me.il les» at home. In the cut
ting out of any money from you,"*
retorted his father, hotly. ' And. to
start with, hand me that two-dollar
bill I gave you this morning '
“I can *t." said Jock, uneasily. "I
haven ’t got it.”
’ You re spent two dollars In this
short time** shrilled Jeremiah his
thrifty soul shocked to the very
foundations, at thought of such ei
traragance
•Jock nodded, eyes downcast,
“What did you spend It on?” de
manded hla father.
Jock hesitated. There was one
r.agn’.flcent trait he had inherited
from his Rcc-tch an>'errors —the un
breakable habit of truth-telling. He
had always received scant credit at
home for this rirtua, and bis luck
less veracity had forever gotten him
Into trouble with his fa’-her.
He waa sorelv tempted to lie, now,
to avoid the outburst the truth must
bring down upon him. As he still
hesitated, his father repeated with a
da wring suspicion.
"What did you spend !t on*"
“Fruit." was Jock's *u!ky answer.
"For a girl
A smile of genuine gratification
smeared Itself over Jeremiah Mc-
Call's rugged face.
“You might a' done *or«s laddie,”
he vouchsafed. “I-lttle gifts make

that. It was wisely invested. And

in sheer perplexity. “What has Ger

THERE must be some good reason for the tremendous change in power
transmission for commercial cars shown by the comparison at the
right of this page.
Reputable truck builders do not change their form of final drive until
they have carefully weighed all the pros and cons. Asa matter of fact,
an immense amount of study and investigation has been given to the
subject in the last ten yeaers, in order to apply that form of power
transmission which would be silent, simple and effective—which would
be so strong and have so few’ parts that the commercial car owrner could
escape the breakdowns, delays and repair expense which too often in the
past have offset any saving effected by motor haulage.
When the searchlight was turned on, it was not long before worm
drive came into its own.
Actual experience over all kinds of roads, on thousands of trucks
during a period of over two years, has absolutely demonstrated the
reliability, noiseless operation and superior efficiency of the worm-drive
type of power transmission.
