curtains and drapes and linoleum.

how he knows it, but he does. And he still
won't trust me. z
JEANNE heard him then. She gave little

FEATURE FICTION

- nm. SIX months
WyIie Harp had been of the Island already
after doing his year and day He had had a
good steady job in playing card factory all
that time. And he still couldn't take sub
way without his gloves
It hadn't been so bad in the winter. But
here it was July now, and it looked downright
odd riding back to his furnished room IN the
Bronx every evening wearing lightweight
suit and shirt and pair Of heavy red wooden
gloves. BY August people would think he was
crazy.
It was all Sergeant Mace regor's fault. That
Sergeant wouldn't trust his own reflection in
the mirror. Yesterday Wylie had been down
to see him at the station and asked him right
out. man to man. How about my leaving the
gloves of noW?'
But MacGregor only shook his heavy head.
Not just yet. laddie. can't be sure of you
vet
OuTsDE on the sidewalk Wylie gave voice
to his bitterness. He told the Sergeant exactly
what he thought Of him. 1t took several
minutes and made him feel better, even if
MacGregor wasn't there to hear him.
But he didn't dare leave the gloves of. 1t
was true that the Sergeant couldn't make him
wear them; Wyiie had to for his own protec-
ton. He never knew when one Of MacGregors
subway piclIpocket detail might spot him
bare-handed A new man, maybe, someone
Wylie didn't even know by sight, but who'd
recognize him from his picture in the files
And then day or two later thered be a COM
plant from some traveller who'd mislaid his
wallet. and they'd haul Wylie in for the
lineup.
And that would break JEANNE Campbell's
heart
If il hadn't been for JEANNE. Wylie would
have given up months ago and gone out west,
to Newark or Orange, outside MacGregor's
territory. But JEANNE was set on an apart

demanded. How IS ii my interests to have
everyone on the subway think I'm cazy?'
Perhaps he doesn't want top temptation
in your way. !"
He likes humiliating me. He'sonc Of those

You're not to talk like that. JEANNE
flushed with sudden unaccountable indigna-
ton, I'm sure Sergeant MacGregor knows
what he's doing and IS 4 good kind man. Z
It was too much He and JEANNE had not
always seen eye to eye about New Yorkis

intelligence and nobility being higher than
Wylie's. But to have his own fancee side
with that monster of tyranny and suspicion.
Mace regor, against him was more than Wylie
could bear.
You don't trust me either, Wylie ex-
ploded. You'd like to see me wearing gloves
the rest Of my life. Then suppose you'd be
happy. You think hs's right, that that
ScotchmanI''

burn. they're unco clannish. And though she
was an orphan. making her own way in life,
JEANNE was Scotch on both sides Of her fam-
lily. She turned and faced Wylie like small
Highland fury.
If you don't care any more about me than
You do about pair Of gloves. Wylie Harp, !"
she told him, and you could almost hear the
skiri Of bagpipes IN her voice, I'm sure
couldn't be happy with You, anyway. and I'm
afraid we're both making mistake. z
Wylie watched her in silent horror as she
pulled his ring from her pretty finger and
threw it into his hand. A thousand words Of
contrition and love came to his mind and
remained unspoken. It wasn't stubbornness
that kept him dumb. He was for the moment
too shocked to speak. And the next moment
the opportunity was gone. JEANNE had van
ished into the dusk Of the Bronx
An hour later Wyiie started to make his own
bitter way home In the intervening time he
had relived the whole unhappy scene hun
dred times and come up each time with the
same conviction. II was all MacC regor's fault.

What Luck!

COINCIDENCE is cOinci-
dence, but this story beats
them all. A young man and
a young woman went to the
Rabbinate in Tel Aviv for a
marriage permit. The official
explained that each of them
must bring witnesses to
prove that he or she had nev-
er been married before. The
groom soon found the neces-
sary testators, but it was
more difficult for the bride,
who had but recently arrived.
Not too scrupulous in what
he considered a good cause
the groom asked the first taxi
driver he met if he'd mind
giving the necessary evi-
dence. Touched by the young
mans plight, the driver went
to the office. On catching
sight of the bride, he stood
rooted to the spot, while the
girl fell into a dead faint: she
had been the drivers first
wife, from whom he had been
divorced in Europe several
years before.
