THE ANNUAL
ROMANCE
By Mary Graham Bonner
20. 1922. Western Newspaper Union.)

|P OSAL1ND was engaged to be mar
~ ried. She was to be married the
day after Christmas. She couldn't
very we'll be married before then as
ter fiance was so especially, unusual
" busy ut Christmas time, and it
would have been cruel, too, not to have
waited.
For Bill, her beloved, took the part
Of Santa Claus every Christmas for
one of tbs. big city stores. He was an
Ideal Santa Claus. He wasn't too tall,
he was not too short; he was rather
Inclined to stockiness of build, and
extra clothes made him look an ideal
round Santa. He had a ruddy face
and swapping blue eyes-and dressed
In Santa Claus costume he was per-
feet.
How the children did adore him!
And how he loved them! They whis-
pered their secrets to him and their
eyes danced with rare happiness when
he waved goodbye to them and
called them:
"Sweethearts," and my dears," and
children dears," and other affection
ate terms.
Rosalind had been thrilled when
she had heard him first, in his deep
beautiful voice uttering such beautiful
words! For Rosalind had met him
first when he had been Santa Claus
and she had been an extra sales girl
taken on for the Christmas rush.
It had been her first meeting with
him. But she had been kept at the
store after the Christmas rush was
over, and Bill had worked for the
store for seven years now. Every De-
cember he was Santa Claus The 9TH
er eleven months he spent in selling
kitchen utensils in the basement.
They had fallen in love with each 9TH
er, though, at this time when he had
been Santa Claus. And many time
when he had said: "Goed-by dearie,"
to child, he had been thinking of the
pretty girl who was at that very mo-
ment selling dolls and giving her
smiles, her beautiful smiles to a moth.
er or to children.
And now a second Christmas was
coming around, and once more Bill
was Santa Claus, and as soon as he
was through being Santa Claus they
would be married.
"Ive always had lots of romance in
my nature" she said to him one eve
ming. 'I've always thought it would
be awful to be like some folks-some
I know and some I've heard talk. One
lady who came to the store with
friend was telling how she and her
husband got along perfectly. They
each had other friends, and sometimes
they met and embarrassed others when
they told that they were married. For
one time the husband had been having
dinner with friend, and the friend
had been looking flirtatiously at his
wife who was also in the restaurant.

rassed when he discovered he had been

we're inside, not to let nobody down.
See?"
Fairchild agreed. He knew Squint
Rodaine was not through. And he
knew also that the fight against the
man with the blue-white scar had only
begun. The cross-cut had brought
wealth and the promise of riches to
Fairchild and Harry for the rest of
their lives But it had not freed them
from the danger of one mana man
who was willing to do anything in the
world, it seemed, to achieve his pur-
pose. Harry's suggestion was good
one.
Well, then Harry ran, to do much as
Fairchild had done, to chuckle and
laugh and toss the heavy bits of ore
about, to stare at them in the light of
his carbide torch, and finally to hurry
into the new stope which had been
fashioned by the hired miners In Fair.

came with a short laugh. "And
Harry, too. There'll be no trouble
from the Rodaines!"
She came little closer to him then
and looked up at him with trustful
eyes, all the brighter in the splutter-
ing light Of the carbide.
"Thank you-it seems that I'm al
ways thanking you. I was afraid
didn't know where to go-to whom to
turn. I thought of you. knew you'd

things"
"Can they?" Fairchild asked It
eagerly. "Then you've guessed all
along that"
But she smiled and cut. in.
II want to thank you for those flow

"You knew that too? didn't send

"They told me at the telegraph Of

with sudden idea. ''Maurice's COM

necessary that you be there?"
'Why-" the idea had struck her
too-"::t isn't. II hadn't thought of
1t. I was too badly scared, guess.

with sarcastic laugh. "They had to
do something to make up for the fact

"How much" Fairchild asked the
question with no thought of being rude
and she answered in the same vein.
"A quarter of million. That's why
I'm vice president"
"And is that why you arranged
things to buy this mine7" Fairchild
knew the answer before 1t was given.

Harry paved at his still magnificent
olao

mustache. Robert continued:
"But the times not ripe yet, Harry,
to spring it. We've got to find out
more about Rodaine first and what
other tricks he's been up to. And
we've got to get other evidence than
merely our own word. For instance,
in this case, you can't remember any
thing. All the testimony could give
would be unsupported. They'd run me
out Of town If I even tried to start any
such accusation. But one things GER
tain: We're on the open road at last,
we know who we're fighting and the
weapons he fights with. And If we're
only given enough time, we'll whip
him. I'm going home to bed now I;
I've got to be up early in the morning
and get hold Of Farrell. Your case
comes up at court"
"And I'm up in a 'ospitall"
Which fact the court the next morn
ing recognized, on the testimony Of
the inferno, the physician and the day
nurses Of the hospital, to the extent Of
continuance until the January term
In the trial of the case. A thing which
the court further recognized was the
substitution Of five thousand dollars
In cash for the deeds Of the Blue Pop.
py mine as security for the bailee.
And with this done, the deeds to his
mine safe in his pocket, Fairchild went
to the bank, placed the papers behind
the great steel gates of the safety de-
poslt vault, and then crossed the street
to the telegraph Office. A long mes
sage was the result, and money Or
der to Denver that ran beyond hun
dred dollars. The instructions that
went with it to the biggest florist In
town were for the most elaborate
floral design possible to be sent by ex-
press for Judge Richmond's funeral
minus a card denoting the sender. Fol-
lowing this, Fairchild returned to the
hospital, only to find Mother Howard
taking his place beside the bed Of
Harry. One more place called for his
attention-the mine.
Health returned slowly to the big
Cornishman; it would be matter Of
weeks before he could be the genial,
strong giant that he once had repre-
sented. And in those weeks Fairchild
was constantly beside him.
Nor that there were no other things
which were represented in Roberts
desires-far from it. Stronger than
ever was Anita Richmond in Fair
child's thoughts now, and it was with
avidity that he learned every scrap of
news regarding her, as brought to him
by Mother Howard. Duly he heard
that Maurice Rodaine had told friends
that the passing Of the Judge had
caused only slight postponement in
their marital plans.
Finally, back to his normal strength
once more, Harry rose from the arm
chair by the window of the boarding
house and turned to Fairchild.
"We're going to work tonight" he
announced calmly.
"When?" Fairchild did not believe
he understood. Harry grinned. ITO
