and played up prominently, along with
day-to-day bulletins on Doug's condi-

Yanner and Charity.
1t was Thanksgiving week beforcDr,
Brandt felt certain of Doug's recovery,
and that he would not go through life
crippled The day before Christmas
Charity took him home to Temple
| haven.
The old Temple estate on Long
Island was a riot of holiday color. Mrs,
| MugginS and Charity had decorated
it from cellar to garret with pine and
holly and Christmas follies A Christ
mas tree which reached the ceiling,
filled the corner of Doug's old room.
No stone had been left unturned to
make Templehaven place where
Doug would be comfortable and happy
while he fought his way back to
health. Charity knew there would be
times when old memories would come
to torture him. Times when he would
feel responsible for having sent YAM
ner to her death.
Since that night at the hospital
when Yanner died. Doug had not
mentioned her name. But she knew
his heart was torn with pity for the
girl he had once been so sure he
loved
Doug had thought they should take
a nurse back to Templehaven with
them. But Charity had been adamant
in her refusal to allow any one else
to care for him. She wanted to know
the Joy of babying him herself. Every
little service gave her new feeling of
possession. Every little intimacy sent
the color into her cheeks.
It was Christmas eve. Doug lay
back in his wheel chair before the
cracking log fire, smiling tenderly at
Charity busying herself about the
room trying to find something else to
do She had switched off all the lights
except the red and green and gold
ones that burned on the big tree.
Charity crossed to the radio.
Its time for Trinity Choir to sing
carols. darling. Would you like to hear
them?"
Doug nodded Then he sat back and
closed his eyes.
Come and sit beside me, sweet"
Charity pulled a little hassock up
beside his chair and sat down. with
ner black head snuggled happily
against his pajamaed knees. They sat
in silence. their hearts full. listening
to hundreds of voices singing the age
old songs of Yuletide.
Holy night. silent night.
All is calm. all is bright"
Doug's hand strayed to Charity's
face and he lifted 1t to smile wistfully.
Happy. dear heart?"
She nodded. tears misting her eyes.
"So-happy, Doug
I'D like to think father knows how
happy We are, wouldn't you, Charity?
We-owe it all to him.

Doug shook his head wonderingly.
You're so different, Charity, from
any one I've ever known. You believe
in so many things. don't you? I'm
glad life hasn't taken away your
faith"
Charity didn't want Doug to grow
too penSive She jumped up and he
wondered where she was going when
she blew him a kiss and ran from the
room. In few moments she was
back, long silk stocking dangling
ever her arm. Then she went to a
drawer and fumbled around until she
found one of Doug'S socks.
When she took two big pins and
went up to the fireplace. he knew
what it was all about. She hung the
stocking and the sock above the
cracking fire. Doug reached his arms
out and she knelt down beside his
chair
Tell me-" he grinned at her then.
do you believe in Santa Claus. too?"
She nodded swiftly. Doug reached
into his pocket and took out a little
white box.
"Then-close your eyes-and hold
out your hand"
She obeyed. her heart beating madly
Then she felt Doug slipping some
thing over her finger.
'NoW-open eyes"
Charity gave a glad cry of surprise
For, sparkling on her engagement

largest and most perfect jewel she had
ever seen
Doug lifted her hand to his lips to
kiss it tenderly. Then he said almost
solemnly:

Charity raised her hand and kissed
the wedding ring beside the beautiful
leWel-the ring he had put Oh her
hand that CAY at City Hall when i
was all a hollow mockery. Then, too

and kissed Doug with all the love in

Charity kissed him tenderly.

every minute of the day. dear heart, if
you want to make me happy"
Doug closed his eyes YEARLY. Char
ity thought he was going to sleep.
A soft knock came on the door and
the nurse entered again with DR..
Brandt. The doctor smiled and took
Doug's pulse. Charity was alarmed
when he said almost curtly. You'll
have to go now. No more visitors to-
day, Miss. Tell, under any circum-
stances"
Charity saw the worry in the doc
tors face.
"What-what's wrong? Oh. doctor
he's not WOrSe?"
The doctor shook his head gravely
Hes gone back into a coma. 1t may
be hours. or days, before he revives" p"
Miss Tell led Charity to the recep-
ton room across the hall. In second
she heard the door close.
She staggered to the window to get
a breadth of air and felt Billie's arms
around her.
You'll have to be brave, honey
Billie said comfortingly. She was GER
tain then that Doug had died.
Charity heard loud voices and opened
her eyes to see newsboy hurrying by
on the street below. She heard him
distinctly:
"Extra-Extrs- Heiress Dies in Crash
With Penthouse Lover. Doug
Temple Dying"
Doug was dying. The doctor had lied
to her. Yanner had rallied and seemed
rational before her death. That's what
Doug had done. With a low moan
Charity lost consciousness. Billie
caught her as she fell.
Day followed day at the Seaside Hos
pjtal with no one holding out any hope
for the recovery of the heir to the
Temple millions. Charity haunted the
room where her husband lay. refusing
to leave him even to go home to sleep.
When DR.. Brandt saw that she was
very likely to break down If she didn't
get rest, he ordered cot brought into
the room for her. The faithful Sylvia
brought what clothes she needed and
thought of other little things for her
comfort.

hook and crook.
An offer of the Civil Liberties
Union to send representatives to act
as observers to the polls to check
up on fraudulent voting was turned
down point blank by zausner. In
a letter to the Civil Liberties Union
zausner remarked cynically that
"the District Council is prepared to
provide every conceivable safeguard
for the proper exercise of the fran
chise of each and every member of
our union at the coming election"
This proper right can only be
guaranteed by the painters massing
at the polls tomorrow to act as
watchers and halt any attempt of
the zausner crowd to win the cleo
ton by trick and fraud.
The rank and file candidates
running against the Zausner gang
are: Louis Weinstock for secre-
tary-treasurer, Lewis j. Stevens and
Frank Wedl for business agents.
The election OF these candidates
will be long step toward the g.
hour day and the 5-day week, the

ditionr.
A vote for the rank and file can
didstos will be a vote against gang
