A TRIANGLE? Sure, If you think
in geometrical figures. But
counting Mary Hill with the three
men you'd have a square, wouldn’t
you?
Anyhow, we were on the Wild
River bridge job. A nice change it
was, too, with Barret Falls Center
only a mile away; no construction
camp in this picture. You could get
room and board in somebody’s
house or you could take a room only
and eat out. And the boys who
hadn't been too quick in grabbing a
room and board took their morning
and evening meals at the Elite
Lunch—that is, those who had got a
peek at what was inside the three-
sided counter, I did myself.
And Mary Hill was very good for
the eyes. Fresh and sweet and cool-
looking she was in her white rig,
even on the hottest day—and lovely
to look at. I figured she was 28 or 29.
That steel crew, though, was a
new breed to Mary Hill. A happy-
go-lucky bunch, as ready for a
scrap as a frolic, working hard and
playing hard. One night when I was
almost the last to leave Mary said:
*T suppose the danger you fellows
are in all day makes you gay and
light-hearted when you get away
from it. Men fall sometimes, don’t
they?”
‘‘Not often,” I said. “It looks
worse than it is. A man is careful.
You get used to height.”
By this time the competition for
Mary was all but general. I was on
the side lines, you might say. Being
field engineer, I was some older
than most of the boys—not so much,
but enough to make me conscious of
the difference. Jack Benz, Clem
Sask and Dave Johnson seemed to
be favored. Benz, a good-looking,
wise-cracking chap, eventually mo
nopolized Mary’s time.
Dave Johnson was the quiet, seri
ous kind, and an A-l bridge jack.
But, now that he seemed out of the
running, he quit coming altogether.
Clem Sask and Benz were not talk
ing.
Working from both ends, we were
now almost ready to join steel. Jack
and Dave and Clem were together
on the down river truss. They’d put
the head of a strut or a diagonal in
place for the riveters, then go down
to bolt the foot. Dave was on a
hanging platform below when Jack
went down, leaving Sask to tighten
the bolts. Jack had no sooner
stepped on the platform — hadn’t
time to anchor his safety belt —
when Clem Sask dropped a spanner.
Clem let out a yell. But that seven-
pound spanner was on its way and
bounced off Jack’s head.
And Jack toppled to follow it
down to the river. All of him but his
legs was off that six by six platform.
But that was as far as he went be
cause Dave had grabbed a sus
pension line and had thrown him
self across Jack’s legs. Then he
reached down the other hand and
took a fistful of Jack’s over-all—and
whatever was underneath it — and
pulled Jack back. And it all hap
pened while you’d be striking a
match.
An ambulance took Jack to the
nearest hospital, a small one in
small town twenty miles away. I
guess they felt at the hospital that
tliis job on Jack was too much for
them because they delivered Jack
to a big city hospital.
We put it down as an accident.
But I wished it hadn’t happened be
tween that particular pair. The
news got to the Elite before we did,
and Mary shared the general gloom.
[ Later Clem asked for his time—
J which was just as well.
A few days later Dave began to
eat again in the Elite. And I quit
staying late to look at Mary when
she wasn’t constantly on the move.
A few weeks afterwards we were
practically finished with the bridge;
half the crew had left. One night I
went to the picture house and saw
Mary and Dave sitting a couple of
rows in front. I figured that Dave
was making up for lost time. After
the show, while on my way to where
I slept, I crossed the street just as a
car popped out of a cross street. I
got it in the right leg.
Evidently a busted leg wasn’t too
much for that little hospital in the
next town; anyhow that’s where I
landed. Dave was waiting when
they’d got my leg set and in a cast.
I had been wondering about him
and Mary, but he was no talker. But
I was sure I’d find out something
from Mary, if I could see her.
And I did see her the next after
noon; she walked into my room not
a minute after visit-time began. But
is off. He’s getting crutches for you.
Now I have it all figured out. I have
a perfectly good house and oodles
of room, and nobody in it but my
self — except when Ann James is
there doing housework—and that’s
where you go from here.”
“Listen, Mary,” I put in. “You’ve
been an angel of kindness. But
there’s a limit, I know what these
small places are, Mary, and I won't
have you talked about on my ac
count . .
*T see what you mean. She
looked down at me, and her eyes
were dreamy. “Of course it would
be nice ...” I said nothing, and she
wagged her head and looked at the
ceiling.
“My heauens! Did a woman ever
work harder for a man?”
That didn’t make sense. “What
man?” I said.
“You! Who else, for goodness
sake?”
“Listen, Mary,” I said. I felt aU
hollow inside. “Don’t kid me—not
about that.”
“I’m not kidding—anything but.
And Jack toppled to follow it down to the river. All of him but his
legs was off that six by six platform.
the only news she let out was that
Dave had heard that Jack was get
ting on all right but would be laid
up for a long time.
For three weeks Mary came
every day.
Then the crew was through with
the bridge, and Dave, making a
last evening visit, was as dead-pan
as ever. That puzzled me, and I
banked on Mary being less shut
mouthed.
A ND, thinking of her, I realized
that once out of the hospital I’d
see little of her. I had that load on
my mind when she came next after
noon looking pleased as Punch. She
told me how the gang had bid her
good-bye the day before.
Then she said, “I had quite a
compliment last night, Charlie:
Dave asked me to marry him.”
“Congratulations, Mary!” I said.
“Dave is a grand guy.” And I
meant it.
“Yes, he is,” she nodded. “He’ll
make a fine husband—for some girl
who wants to worry about him
while he’s climbing over bridges.
But 1 had to turn him down. I’ll
marry nobody I have to worry
about at the start. That’s that. Now
look, I just talked with the doctor.
He says you can leave here in two
or three days, but you’ll have to go
easy on that leg, even after the cast

She reached out and grabbed my
hand. ‘‘Charlie, you are dumb! Did
you think I was a district nurse, or
something — coming here every
day?”
“But—” I could hardly speak. “I
thought — well, with Jack and
Dave . .
“Business, dear,” she cut in. “I
own the Elite Lunch, so why
wouldn’t I build up good will with
the customers? You never asked me
out.”
“Not because I didn’t want to,” I
said. ‘‘But all those fellows, Jack
and Dave—”
She gave a kind of snort. “You
didn’t think a woman would be in
terested in the only man around
who didn’t seem interested in her.
No. So I had to find out all about
you from those others. And you had
to go and get yourself hurt for me
to get a good chance at you.”
“Listen,” I said, “A minute ago
you said you wouldn’t marry any
body who climbs bridges.”
“I know I did,” she admitted.
“But your climbing days are over,
Charlie—so Doc says.”
That stopped me. Still, I could al
ways have a good berth in the plant
—or some other plant. My tongue
seemed tied, but I managed to make
it work. “Would you marry me,
Mary?”
She was off the chair like a flash
and sitting on the edge of the bed,
holding my hands. “He’s said it!”
she laughed. “The dumb bunny
has actually said it! Would I . . .”
So after all, you might say that
the affair turned out to be a pen
tagon. •
Enamel-Coaled Tin Cans
Play Part in Atom Role
In experimenting with radioactive
chemicals from the atomic piles at
Oak Ridge, plant scientists of the
U. S. department of agriculture
have stopped using the familiar clay
pots and jars in their greenhouse
experiments. Instead they are using
inexpensive tin cans coated with
enamel. After each experiment they
discard the cans and soil that con
tains the radioactive material, and
bury them deep in the ground to get
rid of them.
The reason is simple. In checking
the action of the radioactive chemi
cals moving out of the soil and into
and through the plant, the scientists
make use of the delicate “tracer"
method. Counting instruments de
tect and record the passage of
charged molecules as they pass
through the plant tissues. It is nec
essary to have exact knowledge as
to the radiant energy present at the
start of the experiment. This is pos
sible by using fresh soil, a new con
tainer and exactly measured quan
tities of radioactive chemicals.
But if a clay container had been
used previously, the pot would have
become at least slightly radioac
tive, and so would add some un
measured radioactive energy that
would complicate the experiment.
It would disturb what the scientists
term the “control” of conditions.
