He was baffled because no WORD
of the thrilling news had come tc
him. But April "a was just
day or two after Nell's last mes
sage. She had become i'll perhaps
before receiving his answer. Since
they had taken her to the hospi
tai she must have been in greatest
peril. He had a vision of them
carrying Nell down steps on q
stretcher. She would have needed
him then. Needed him bitterly.
He bit savagely at his lips and
tried for awhile to keep from
thinking of her and the things
she had suffered and the child
that was born. He felt outraged
that no one had let him know.
It was a dismal May morning
when Ricky arrived in New York.
At $3.50 he was climbing the steps
of the apartment house in Ans
terdam Ave. Women were com
ing in with bags of doughnuts
and loaves of bread. Children
sprawled on the stairs and the
thick smell of meat frying with
onions and of burning potatoes
perlneated the narrow dingy halls.
He stared about him with fury
and despair. Nell had climbed
up this dark hole. Breathed in
this heavy noiSome air while
waiting for their child.
On various landings women
eyed him with arrogance or with
flattery, and a pert young girl
said fippantly: Good morning,
mister. Amt you out rather
early"
He took the last flight of stairs
two at a time. The pert young
girl and a man following. They
saw him ring impetuously at Nell's
door. They stared inquisitively.
Finally the girl said: THAT flats

who moved out?"
''The Masons, except the old
lady. She's dead. The funeral was
Thursday"
CHAPTER XXXIV
Two other women came to their
doors and began talking at once.
"Oh, so you're the husband, are
you? Well, it's too bad you
weren't here yesterday when your
wife came back and all but

out her mother was done for and
her baby sent away. The poor
thing didn't know nothing about
it and you should have seen her
face. It was just as gray as them

Ricky asked simply: do you
know who took the baby and
where they took it?"
"For all we know the baby is
dead and gone as well as the old
mother. There amt one of us

days and more"
He surveyed them with anguish.

Ricky swept out his arm and
showed the women aside. He took
the steps bounding. Five minutes
later he was on the subway going
out to Brooklyn where, so the di-
rectory informed him, Esther
Mason had a flat.
A girl with crossed eyes and an
arm which stuck out at the elbow
stared at Ricky vacantly. There
don't nobody by the name Of Mrs.
Calhoun live here and I never
heard of no such person"
"She'S Esther Mason'S niece"
The girl persistently shook her
head.
Does any one live here with
Miss MaSon?"
NO.. said the girl, taking a

except for the last few days. She's
got a little boy with her"
What little boy?"
"Well, his names Jimmy and
his mothers dead and Miss
Esther's letting him stay"
Ricky began all over again pa
tiently, for the girl seemed an i'm
beetle. Jimmy has a sister whose
name is Nell. She's just had a
baby. Do you know anything
about that?"
mo, I don't know anything
about it,
I'm its father. Do you happen
to know where Nell is and where
her baby is?"
The girl looked at him spitefully.
II don't know nothing about Nell,
and you better come back when
Miss Mason's here"
when will she return?"
II don't know" said the girl
sullenly. Maybe tonight"
All this while she was stealthily
closing the door. Ricky put his
foot across the threshold. Listen.
didn't you hear Miss Mason or
Jimmy say anything about Nell
and her baby?"
mo, I didn't" cried the girl
angrily.
She was about to slam the door
when the high yawling cry of a
tiny baby rose petulantly.
Rlcky flung past the girl and
down the hall to the room from
which the cry came. He stood
saking and excited before a small
bed In which his son lay. There
wasn't a moments doubt in his
mind that it was his son. It had
a silky golden fluff of hair. It's
eyes were wide open, big and blue.
The girl rushed up to the crib
and tried to shove him aside.
He said to her quietly: Here's
the baby. This is the baby I'm
talking about. This is my child"
Its not your child, she cried
furiously. "and don't you dare to
touch it."
He became suddenly excited,
Suddenly icy with preposterous
fear. Could it possibly be that
Esther Mason was hiding this
child? ~
Why had Nell not been told of
her mothers death? Why had she
been allowed to go to that empty
apartment and take that awful
shock? Where was she now? And
why. above all, had he not been
informed Of his baby's birth?

UNREQUITED CHARITY

Editor. The Citizen:
At this time of the year there
are many appeals for worthy"
charities, especially by mail.
Sometimes, reading these high
pressure entreaties makes me a
little sick, remembering as l do
the way these same organizations
handled large donations and sub
scriptions during the World War.
It was all giving on this side of
the water. but the men in uniform
got only a begrudged percentage
of the benefits donated. Salaries
and impressive headquarters"
came first. And these salaries paid
to workers in the organizations
were not on the scale approved
by our WPA. They were good
money" and there was plenty of
waste and negligence in the hand
ling of the peoples offerings. On
the other side of the water l have
seen soldiers buying the cigarettes
and sundries that were supposed
to be free. About the only char
liable organization that survived
the war without loss of reputation
for genuine relief was the Saliva
ton Army. AS ! remember it, one
could get free coffee and ciga-
rettes at Salvation hut, nor were
you Obliged to ''join". So that right
now, when l see appeals for aid on
expensive bond-paper l can not
bring myself to reach very far in
to my jeans. remembering the time
when high-pay and good front"
was what our donations really
provided, while what was left went
to the poor and needy.
