not bicker and quarrel; for they
were gentle people. They did not
wear their feelings like suits Of

CHRISTMAS came galloping
- along-a different kind of
Christmas for the Cranes. There
were no lavish parties; only trio
of Bruce's fraternity brothers
dropped by on Christmas Eve
with fifth. They and Bruce got
mellow and spun dreams of flu
t,Ire glory; and T'nette popped
corn for them and made some
fudge; and was happier than she
had ever been before in her life
at this season.
Comfortably T'nette looked
across at Bruce and the boys as
they talked in low tones, and
congenially, about this love they
shared, this life to which they
had dedicated themselves.
Nola's gifts arrived important
1y on Christmas Day from Con-
necticut in weller of costly
wrappings and special handling
tickets plastered all over them.
And down from the house on the
hill came a superb azalea, with
a card reading:

match your loneliness. I failed
but here is the nearest contender.

It made Bruce i'll. The picture
of middle-aged, astute Robert
Saylor penning such sophomore
drivel was ludicrous-and un-
pleasant, too, when the inspira-
tion for it all happened to be
Bruce's own wife. Still, he could
not say a thing; for Saylor was q
thorough gentleman-and he was
paying extremely good rent.
And, as the new year got under
way, he was paying also a lot Of
attention to Antoinette. At first
it was simply: "Mr. Saylor said

not come right out and say he
would rather she didn't mention
the man. That would have been
childish. After all, a woman had
to have something to talk about,
and Tnette's life was more or less

sold her car.
That had caused a row, too.
Tnette had said very firmly

had more to show than Sergeant's s rating.
If he hadn't stuck so stubbornly to the China

ladder - he might even have wound up with
Captains gold badge.
Why had he always turned down chances
at promotion and transfer? He'd asked him.

WELL, sense or no, that's the way it had
been - Molly never understanding it, telling
him he was wasting his life, and he never
able to explain his inner conviction. 1t was
Just about the only thing on which he and
Molly couldn't see eye to eye.
But what difference did it make whether
you liked Chinatown or not? The Chinese
didn't give hang, either way. He'd found
out how little it all meant to them when he
stopped to give the big news to his old friend
Hugh Lee. the merchant.

And Hugh Lee had stared at him with that

he'd answered indifferently and gone on
putting at his bamboo pipe.
A thing like that sets you back on YOUR
heels. You didn't expect Chinatown to turn
out with brass band, hold parade and
shoot on flrecrackers. But after all those years
on job, you had right to expect something
better than casual rs long time -"
Mike looked at his watch again EIGHT

drifting out of BLUSH mist, and all the shons
closed up tight
