In toe entrance drive of a huge apartment build ing. Shorty Cavendish huddled in a vain attempt to protect himself from the cold. His normally genial face was pinched and drawn, and his roly poly body shuddered as the wind bit through his pitifully inadequate clothing. Shorty was broke. For six weeks now he bad been tramping the streets, hoping and praying to find a Job. Only the day before he had been turned out of his rooming house, his clothing and other pos sessions confiscated by a sharp tongued landlady. Yet what bothered him even more was the gnawing emptiness in the pit of his stomach. ; It was then his attention turned to the two men on the corner. For some time they had stood regarding him, the younger man sometimes gesturing his way, the older one shaking his head. Shorty shrugged. Maybe they were plainclothes of ficers. Anyway, he was going to hit them for a dime. He approached the men. "Do you happen to have an extra dime. Mister?" The older man reached into his pocket, drew forth a bill and hand ed it to Shorty with a smile. "Mer ry Christmas," he said, then turned away. Shorty stared at the bill, his heart in his throat Five dollars. The man must have made a mistake. But when he looked up his benefactor had melted into the crowd. Shorty remained undecided for a moment, then turned and walked as swiftly as his half-frozen feet would permit toward the restaurant. Through bis mind were racing won derful dreams. He merged with the crowd in front of a toy shop, felt himself jammed tightly against the display window. A small boy and girl stood beside him, their noses pressed to the cold pane, staring in mingled awe and anticipation at the big red wagon on display. Then he noticed the woman who stood behind them. Hendricks Field, Fla. A former coal dealer from Fairmount, W. Va., was a bomb loader here but if his name had anything to do with it, he would be flying with the combat crew.

She was shabbily dressed, and on her face was a look of despair. The little girl glanced back, eyes shining. "Do you think Santa will bring us that wagon. Mama?" she asked. "That's all Jimmy and I want. Just that wagon." The woman tried to smile. "I'm afraid not, darling." Shorty suddenly realized that he was free to go on. Still he hesitated. "But, Mama," the boy pleaded, "we wrote to him. We told him where we live now . . ." Shorty stepped forward impul sively. "Pardon me, Madam," he murmured, pressed the precious five-dollar bill into her hand, and walked quickly away. Not, how ever, before he heard her gasp of delight. He stood on the curb, unaware oi the freezing wind, as happy as he had ever been in his life. Tonight he would sleep in the city jail . . a common tramp. But tonight he bad done something of which he would always be proud. A hand settled on his shoulder. He turned, recogni2ed the gray haired man who had given him the money. For an instant Shorty was frightened. Tm sorry, sir," he said. "I want ed to tell you of your error right away, but you left before I could. I haven't the money now." The man smiled. "Don't worry over that," he said quietly. "It wasn't an error." Then, what . . ,?" "My companion and I made you the subject of a wager," the man explained. "He claimed the first thing you would buy if you put your hands on some money would be a bottle of liquor. I disagreed. After we saw what you did do with it, we couldn't Just walk away." His eyes played briefly over Shorty's fat little figure, and he cleared his throat "Our lodge Is giving a party tonight for some children from the Clearview Orphanage. We need a man to act as Santa Claus, and if you don't mind my saying so, you'd take the part splendidly. After that we could arrange to give you a Job as assistant ' janitor at our hall. Would you be interested?" "Interested?" Shorty choked. "Mister," he said slowly, "you've Just offered me a ticket to heaven." .. : SB?..- HURRY SELECT YOURS TODAY Mm vwsi 3 Sizes 1.48 - 1.98 - 2.98 BLACKBOARD $1.98 Blocks- 481 SCOOTERS t AO i no 8 1.10 - J..30 3.48 S'v"'-:-'Vi8'-.':'-.'
