CHAPTER. XXV (Continued)

They arrived late at are dance and were sitting forlornly at a table drinking beer when Ade- laide came in with Bob Fergu- son. Gary looked accusingly at Bill. "You knew she was coming. did you?"

"How would I know?" demand- ed Bill. But his face lighted up. and before Ferguson had danctd her twice around the floor. 3111 cut in. Gary saw them slow, down presently. and stand talking earn- estly in s cornea He hoped Bill wasn't talk.i.ng about him, but he saw Adelaide eyes stra.V in his direction and then withdraw QUICK-

And when Bill was cut in on and came back to the table. Gary muttered moiosely. "Lay off this affair of mine, will you, Bill? Don't talk about it to anybody."

"I didn't begin it," Bill insisted. "She asked me if you were still mad-and what you were mad a- bout."

"My gosh, does she think I'm the kind of a drip who can be kicked in the face and then come whining beck fog more?"

"I don't know what she thinks. Go over and dance with her and' find out."

"Much obliged. She wouldn't want to dance with a heel who would sell out her father. Want to hang around this dump any longer?"

"Yeah-I think I'll hang around." "All right. I'm a, workingman. The whistle blows in the chill gray dawn. So long, Bill."

He hated the job on the Grise-

At. night. when Bill came to his room. he asked abruptly, "No con- nection between Republic and Gricemorgan. is there, Bill?"

"Couldn't be. They're competi- tive developers," Bill said. "Why?"

" Because if Gricc-Morgan are at the bottom of this scheme to bust Mason. it doun't look too good for me to be working for them; Bill."

"That's tough.-tough you feel that way. because they're going to put up two more derricks. Means a. few more days' work for you and little Willie."

There was a knock on the door. Gary d it and saw three people standing in the hall out- Islde. One was a messenger. The ?other two were Harvey Mason and lsdciaide.

"Oh. good evening." Gary stam- imered s.wkwa.rdly.

"Sign here, buddy-number l0." instructed the boy.

”Let us in, Gary. we want to iialk to you." Adelaide had her some peremptory little manner.

"O-h. of course-come in." He iscrlbbled his name on the yellow slip but did not open the mes- ;sage.

Bill jumped to his feet, said apo- lngetlcally, "There's only one chair. nadelaide-mind sitting on the bed, Mr. Mason?"

I "Haven't got time to sit down."

Harvey was brusque. "I-Gary, you'll have to come back."

1 "Soiiry, Mr. Mason, I can't pos- isibly come back. Not till everything is entirely cleared up."

, "Gary," Adelaide was almost tearful. "Dad has to leave on the next train. It's Junior. He's in jail."

"You'll came beck. Gary?" Ade- laide begged. "Oh. Gary. we apo- logise and everything. Surely you wouldn't leave us in a terrible hole like this?"

"All right-"Gary said slowly. but a trifle loftily. "I'll come back. Because I owe the Mason family a. good many favors, but not be- cause I'm overlooking what has happened. what do you wsnt ms to do. Mr. Mason?"

"Get the well down," ordered Harvey. "Get it down before it busts me. You come along out tonight. Gary-and when I get back "

"Better open your telegram first. hadn't you?" reminded Bill. "It might be a job."

"Yes-excuse me." Gary slit the yellow envelope. "No, it's not s. )0 he said. "But you may be interested in what. it says, Mr. Ms- son."

Gary laughed ruefully. "Looks as if neither of us is an import- ant as we thought, Mr. Mason,"

he said. "That's not important now- none of it," Mason said. "The

chief thing is-I've got to leave and that well has to go down. And it has to get oil, and get it pretty darned quick."

"I'll put Dad on the train and come back for you, Gary", Ade- laide said.

"Bow! Br; How!" he said in his little dog language, "Let Frisky out to play. "Bowl Bow Bow!"

inside he heard Frisky's little excited barks in answer, then the back door opened, and Frisky flew out. Tammie crouched law behind it shrub. and. when Frisky came by, jumped out at him. Frisky turned to chase him. And the race was on.

LONDON. (AP)-Britain's watch industry, once predominant in the world, is making A modest come- back with government enL'oi.irage- ment as a result of lhe last war.

Watch - making hnd virtually ceased here before i914, although rlorkmakcrs struggled along on a limited scale. To help fill what it described as a "gap in our in- iiuslrisl armory." the government announced a plan in 1945 to re- vive the industry and set aside I.',000.000 for development pur- poses.

Starting almost from scratch, Prilain today is producing H monthly average of 4,500 high- gradc jewclled lever WBICIIFE. In addition, it produces approximate- l.v 200.000 cheap non-jewelled watches monthly.

"Our output of fine walrhcs is as yet small but we linvc laid out a four-year program of develop- merit." said Dennis W. Barrett, general manager of Smiths English Clocks l.td., Brltniriix large.-at clock and watch producers and the only British makers of l5-jewel lever timepieces. .

Hail Largest. Industry

Describing the flP('lllIf' of once flourishing lndusiixv, F. B Cow:-n, secretary of l.llP British Clock and Wntcli MnnufiicIurcrs' Association, said in an interview:

"Two hundrcd years ago. Britiiin had the world's liirgr-;.t clock and vintcli lll(lllSII')'. it eniployeil sonic tons of thousands of rrnffsnirri

and their liand-flnislied wnirlics were sold throughout. tho world. Possession of a wnfcli than, of

course, was the mark of a wealthy man.

"From i870 onnnrds. limvci'ci'. the picture changvd with the ari- vonre of the industrial re'volulion

Between the wars, Britain pro- diiced virtunlly no wntclies. Mr. Cowen said. in 1939. the industry really consisted of 12 clork far- torles with a force of 4.000 to 5,000 men producing 1.2.'l0.0flfl clocks of all kinds with the exception of the alarm clock.

Cowen said that "Dunkerque and our subsequent isolation from Switzerland awoke us to our need."

"Pi'srtiralLv everything that goes off with a hang has some part of A watch or clock in it. The. time bomb. the time fuse and. of course. aircraft instruments. all have I hit of a watch or clock mechan- ism ln them.

watches.

The government bought machine tools, mainly from Switzerland, he said, and then loaned them on a rental basis to the firms with the option of purchase after five years
