We want to get back to town and we're going." He slouched back 1 to the tent and joined the crowd of surly men around the great camp-fire. camp-fire. From the log bungalow beyond the camp twinkled many lights. Orrek stared at the Christmas candles. ' Marcia had placed them there, saying say-ing they brought peace to the household. house-hold. And now, with his men walking out on him, Marcia would be lost to him. A skimming sound on the firm snow aroused him and Marcia, a gay little figure in her white furs, caught at his arm and came to a stand- TtUllJllilillllK i James R Kellif "Why stay out here when I want yon?" m t still on her skis. "Why stay out here when I want you, Orrek? We're making up a bridge table." A bridge table when his future career was toppling down! . "Orrek, what's wrong with the men?" she asked. "My maid told me there had been a row there." Orrek's eyes blazed as he tucked the small hand under his arm. How he loved her! In a fewbrlef sentences he told her of the discontent among his men. "It's the loneliness that gets them," he finished, "the lack of amusement." "If they walk out you cannot keep your contract. That will queer you with the owners." She turned and left him In silence. Back at the bungalow Marcia tumbled tum-bled the contents of her clothes closet while talking rapidly to her maid, Ninette. "Isn't it lucky that I taught you those chords, Ninette?" The camp men, grumbling around the fire, fell Into a sudden silence as the gay plink-a-plunk of a banjo sounded in the clearing. Gebert, surly gang leader, jerked out his pipe. "Listen, boys!" Down the hill Marcia came gaily, her fingers bringing jolly notes from the strings. The frosty air echoed and re-echoed as Ninette joined In. "I know that," declared Gebert Carried along by memories, the men joined in, forgetting the loneliness loneli-ness of the Christmas eve, forgetting forget-ting their fancied troubles. Marcia had come to the very edge of the great fire and stood there picking at the strings. Above her towered the man she loved, just beyond be-yond her stood the men in a semicircle, semi-circle, their unshaven faces lighted by a mutual love of music. "How many of you play small Instruments?" In-struments?" she asked softly. The answers brought a quick smile to her lips. "I thought there would be many of you to help me out," she cried. "I want to have a string-band," hurried on Marcia, "and I need volunteers. vol-unteers. A violin, maybe two or three. A guitar" "I play the flute," Interrupted Jacques. ' "And I the piccolo." "At home I have an accordion," came a wistful voice, "but" Tine," interrupted Marcia. "I have, tonight, made out an order that should have been mailed sooner. soon-er. It is my Christmas gift to our men. The order Is for musical Instruments. In-struments. I wish each man would write down his instrument and give it to me. With luck we should have the order filled in three days and we'll practice hard so that New Year's day may find us ready. How about it?" There was an instant response as hardened palms came together. Just beyond the pines a wolf howled, but Marcia was looking up into her lover's eyes. (Associated Newspapers WNU Service.) CHRISTMAS eve. Streets white with swirling snow flakes. Marionetta. behind the counters of the five-and-ten, peered Into one of the little ten-cent mirrors it was her business to sell. Marionetta was crying because there was no Santa Claus. More than anything she hated to go back to the tiny basement flat that she and mother and Jim called home, end tell Jim the truth. Jim, or Jimmy, as Marionetta always al-ways called him, was crippled. MarL onetta insisted that he was too little yet to know about Santa Claus. She had gone without her lunch for days and days and saved her nickels and dimes to buy the things Jimmy wanted. '- That very morning she had started out to work, her precious savings tucked away In her purse, her heart all but singing out loud. Then, when she got off the car, someone In the motley crowd bumped her elbow and her purse was knocked from her hand. Marionetta dived for Jimmy shouted with delight. it, but another dived at the same time and when she straightened up a small, flying figure was crossing the street. That was why her feet lagged on her homeward way. Her hand on the door of the basement base-ment flat, at the dirty tenement house where she lived, she noticed a big automobile drawing up at the curb, and an elegantly dressed lady slumming. Showing off! She turned her back on the picture, flung open the door, and stepped inside. "Hello, Sis." Jimmy looked up brightly. "Tonight's the night!" Marionetta looked dully at her mother. "I lost my purse," she said tone-lessly. tone-lessly. "Some kid snatched it this morning. It looked Just like that McCarty kid that comes here to play with Jimmy so much but he ran so fast I couldn't be sure." "Don't cry,, honey," her mother said. "We'll make out, somehow." There was a knock.' Mrs. Clancy went to the door and opened it. There stood the lady of the big automobile, her arms piled high with packages. "Is this where . Jimmy Clancy lives?" "Yes, ma'am." Mrs. Clancy stepped back. "Won't you come in?" The lady stepped Inside. She kept smiling at Jimmy, whose eyes were wide and bright ' "I met Santa Claus down the street this afternoon, Jimmy," she said, "and he asked if I would bring these things to you. Hesaid he was going to be very busy tonight." Jimmy was feverishly tearing at the packages, which the lady had dropped into a big chair beside him. As his heart's desires emerged from their tinsel wrappings Jimmy shouted shout-ed with delight. Under cover of the excitement Marionetta drew near the pretty lady and whispered: , "Tell me how you knew about Jimmy?" Jim-my?" "Why, my dear, it's such a strange story! This morning 1 saw a little boy snatch a purse that someone dropped, and when he ran away I had my chauffeur follow him and brmg him back to me. He told me he wanted to keep the money to buy some toys for a little crippled friend whose folks were too poor to buy things for him. I promised him I'd play Santa Claus to Jimmy If he'd promise me to wait on that corner for the girl who dropped the purse, every morning at the same hour, until he found her and gave it back to her." "Why," cried Marionetta. "did you ever hear anything so like a fairy tale? That was my purse, and it really was Jerry McCarty, mother! There was such a crowd he couldn't see who dropped it He'd never have stolen but it wasn't stealing! And just to think that a moment ago I was doubting the Christmas saint!" The lady laughed. Then in that clear voice she said: "Well, just to make you even more sure of him, I'm going to bring a famous doctor to see Jimmy the day after tomorrow, and I'm going to have him take Jimmy to a hospital hos-pital and cure that bad leg of his. The good Christmas saint doesn't want to find him crippled when he comes back next year."

Again and again they Joined the line-' up of would-be passengers only to see the car move off without them. "Look here, Mrs. Young. I think we're crazy to try to get home in this crush," said plump Mrs. Older. "Let us go to the Purple Tea-room and have dinner and rest till the crowd thins out a bit" "Oh, I couldn't do that" almost wailed pretty little Mrs. Young. "I simply must get home. Teddy would be so annoyed if he got borne and found me out and no dinner ready." "But you could phone from the 'tea-room," said Mrs. Older. "Teddy wouldn't like it" objected Mrs. Young. "He would say I shouldn't have stayed shopping so late." "What nonsense," scoffed Mrs. Older, Ol-der, with the license of an old friend. But Mrs. Young was firm. She was going to get home before Teddy if it were at all possible. However, after a few more ineffectual in-effectual attempts to board a car, during one of which she spilled her parcels on the pavement, Mrs. Young reluctantly accompanied the hobbling hob-bling Mrs. Older around the corner to the Purple Tea-room. Under the spell of the purple-and-gold shaded lights, the two weary women ordered substantial dinners. Mrs. Young's body relaxed into ! ease, but her mind did not She ought to be at home. She wanted to be at home. Home was the place for married women at meal-time. "Teddy and I promised each other oth-er when we were married that we'd never eat dinner apart If we could possibly avoid it" she murmured. "I hate to be the. first to break that promise I know Teddy wouldn't." "Well, six xnonths is quite long enough to keep a promise like that" ! asserted Mrs. Older.

Just at her most homesick and contrite moment, she raised her misty eyes to the wall opposite and read on a little framed card "If you want a taxi call Main 0000." She rose to her feet, the light of decision flashing across her face. "I'm going to ring for a taxi to take me home," she said, i ; "Don't be foolish," admonished the rather disgusted Mrs. Older. "A taxi will cost you quite a bit and you said you were broke." "I still have that $10 bill Teddy gave me to buy a Christmas present for myself.

As she stopped to take her check off the tray she noted hungrily hun-grily what an unusually attractive meal it was. ' ; In an amazingly short time the summoned taxi whirled' her home without notable incident except the smash-up that occurred in the $10 bill when it came into collision with the taxi fare. Mrs. Young found that she had just 25 minutes to the good, and she did a meal-marathon that broke all records. At the exact minute of Teddy's usual arrival she was ready for him with a smile on her face. And just then the phone bell rang. She could hardly believe her ears when she heard Teddy telling her over the wires that he would not be home to dinner. "Go right ahead and have your own dinner, dearie," Teddy said, and his voice didn't sound a bit regretful. re-gretful. 'Tve had an extra hard day, and . I don't feel like standing all the way borne, as I know I would have to do if I got on a car at this hour. Older and I are going to drop into the Purple Tea-room for dinner. By-by, dearie."

Its offset commercially will be the recovery of the greater part of the zinc that is now being lost in the smelting of ordinary lead ores, and thus add to current national zinc production of from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 pounds monthly from Tooele alone. Zinc has always been an element that Increases cost in lead blast furnace smelting and will still continue to be; therefore, the value of this operation is entirely en-tirely In the recovery of such zinc and in no way, affects the cost of putting it through the blast furnace. fur-nace. By such zinc recovery It is hoped finally, as soon as the economics eco-nomics of the whole operation are worked out to be able to treat lead ores much higher in zinc than at the present time and hence Increase the commercial limit jot zincky lead ores, particularly those which, due to more or less oxidation oxida-tion or other causes, are not amenable amen-able to treatment by selective flotation". flota-tion". Incidentally, It will be possible . to recover zinc from slag dumps which are sufficiently high In zinc to warrant their re-treatment Such slag can either be handled by putting put-ting it cold Into the slag treatment furnace er by melting first through, the lead blast furnace. Th choice between the two methods will be dictated by conditions in each case. The metallurgy of this process was worked out at Tooele some 15 years ago under patents granted to U. A. Garred, which were acquired ac-quired by International Smelting & Refining Company and its associated as-sociated companies. A furnace of this type was installed by the Anaconda Copper Mining Company to treat the slag from the American Amer-ican Smelting & Refining Company's Com-pany's East Helena Plant some 12 to 14 years ago. The process consists of. blowing air and pulverized coal through molten slag in a furnace of the blast type. The zinc is reduced and Immediately re-oxidized In the upper part of the furnace, forming an oxide fume. Any residual lead Is also reduced and the lead again re-oxidized in the upper part of the furnace. The gas from the furnace containing the fume la cooled and lead to a bag house where a zinc fume containing some lead Is produced. Inasmuch as fume with as little lead as possible is preferred My the retort plants for the manufacture of prime west-era west-era zinc, the leady zinc fume will be passed through a rotary kiln for the elimination of the lead which will in turn be canght as a lead fume in a separate bag house. The deleaded fume wia be shipped to eastern refineries and the lead returned to the lead blast furnace here. with the U 6. amy In Texas, Is spending the holidays with his parents, par-ents, Mr. and Mrs, J.
