He was rushed to the hospital here for treatment, and hospital authorities stated tonight that he was still unconscious from an in jury that appeared to be a frac tured skull. CARD OF THANKS The family of the late Mrs. Nancy Alice Billings Gambill ex press their sincere appreciation for the sympathy and kindness | shown them in their bereavement. MARY and John had quar reled—just before Christ mas, too. The Christmas candy had burned, and then, in the excitement, each had blamed the other, making cruel retorts, until Mary fled to her bedroom in tears and John stalked off in the snowy night. The Christmas candle oeamed a welcome from the window as John started around the block ag&in. He was cold, and sorry, but he mustn't go in too soon. The tree, the holly, their little girl asleep in her crib and dream ing of Santa Claus—all were a mock ery. Mary went into the living room and snapped on the radio, looking for a jazz band and forgetfulness. Instead there came the strains of "Silent Night"—"peace on earth, good will to men," —"God bless us, every one"—"may nothing you dis may." Wasn't there anything on ex cept Christmas programs? A click brought back the silence. She opened the front door. Next time she would ask John to come in. Tell him she was sorry. Now that she stopped to think, she knew that he was sorry, too. Why let a few excited words that neither of them meant spoil their Christmas? But John did not come. It was too cold to stand at the door any longer, but she sat at the window, with the curtain drawn aside, watch ing for him. An hour went by. When at last she saw him com ing the relief almost choked her. He was striding rapidly, carrying some thing in his arms. She opened the door for him and he handed his burden to her. "Here. Mary, hold him. Careful, now. His leg's hurt. I'll get a box and we'll fix a bed." Mary looked down at the warm bundle. It was a furry puppy. One leg was hi-splints. The puppy whim pered a little and licked her hand. "But, John, where did you get him?" "Accident Over on Linden. Fell out of a passing car. I took him to a vet and had him fixed up. Thought he'd make a cute pet for Alice—" He stopped his work and straight ened up. "I'm awfully sorry, Mary. I was a tool/' "It was my fault, John." Their eyes met in perfect understanding. How silly to quarreL The silence was a more impressive reconcilia tion than words. Mary broke it nervously, for fear she would cry again. "There are some clean rags in that drawer. And we ought to get him something to eat. He can have this old bowl for his dish." She worked with one hand, cuddling the puppy. "Won't Alice be surprised? And what shall we name him?" "Ought to have some connection with, Christmas eve, don't you think? How about Scrooge, or Mar low?" "Oh, no!" "Good King Wenceslaus£" "Such names for a poor innocent puppy! Maybe we had better see what Alice wants to call him in the morning." She put the puppy down with a saucer of warm milk. John came and put his arm around her, and they stood close together watch ing their pet lap greedily. "We ought to call him Peacemak er, honey," said John. "If it hadn't been for him, I might have still been out there in the snow." "Oh, John!" She held him close. "Weren't we silly? Iwas so worried wheh you didn't come. If anything had happened to you I could never have forgiven myself." "Felt pretty rotten myself. Not my idea of the best way to spend Christmas eve." "Of course! I forgot! We have so much left to do! The tree, and Alice's doll must be unpacked, and her stocking filled. What time is it?" He looked at his watch. "Almost midnight." "Not really!" He nodded, and put his watch on the table. \ "Here, pooch," he said, "it's bedtime for you." He lifted the puppy into its bed, and turned back to his wife. "And as for you, milady," he said, "in about ten sec onds I want a kiss for Christmas, and then we're going to pitch in to gether and clean uo this mess, and trim the tree, and maybe even chance another batch of candy. OK? Then, it's time, darling, to say Mer ry, Merry Christmas." • Western New*pap«r Union.

FRED SHUQART. _________ Talcing No Chances An attractive young woman was visiting at the textile man's home, but, In spite of his moth er's urgings, the young son of the house refused to kiss the visitor. "Come." said the mother, "don't be a naughty boy, Bobbie: kiss the nice lady." "I won't," said Bobbie. "She's a naughty lady. If I kiss her she may give me a slap, just as she did to papa."
