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.

"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.

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.
