Whose Money
Is Being Promised?
By RAYMOND P1TCAIRN?
As every voter knows, something new
and foreign to the American tradition
has made its way into campaign oratory
during recent years.
It is the promise of large and resru
lar grants of money, not neoessarlly to
the unemployed or others In need, but
io members of various groups and factions
whose votes can help win victory.
In an earlier day, candida tei* pledged
themselves to work for improved conditions
for all their constitutents; for
governmental processes which would
offer every citizen greater opportunity
to advance and to prosper.
And under that method America rose
in achievement and in the general
well-being of its people to heights approached
by no other nation In history.
But today many candidates seem to
favor a different technique. This
method Is to promise to put money directly
into the pockets of special groups
of voters, regardless of Its effect on the
nation as a whole. And In making
these promises such candidates bask In
a self-created glow of personal generosity.
But who Is being generous? That
depends on where the money comes
from. And, as everybody knows, It
must come from the people. Today,
as always, their earnings and their savings
are the source of an government
income.

money which they, the people, mart

Qaby, the spoiled but devoted
little Viennese wife of Peter,
concertmaster of London's Philharmonic
Orchestra, falls >? love
i vith Peter's old conservatory
friend, Miguel del Vayo, who has
become a famous solo violinist.
Miguel, lonely in spite of his
great renown, becomes madly at/
tached to her and insists that she
divorce Peter and marry him.
But Qaby cannot bear to hurt
her husband who weeds her so
badly. Miguel is called to America
on a concert tour, and Qaby
promises to be waiting for him
on his return, Seeing Miguel off
at the station, Peter takes cold,
becomes seriously ill, and requires
an operation.
Chapter Five
Peter, convalescing from his
operation, was far from a model
patient. He resented his Inactivity;
he resented the pain he had been
thi -Migh; he restated his nurse, his
doc.or, his treatments, everything
but his beloved Gaby.

that. MI assure you be Is out of pain

how crossly he may act. Of course
lsc is anxious about his hearing,
and exhausted from lack of sleep."
Peter muttered, growled, and
kicked the bedcovers about.
"Peeps, Peeps," pleaded Gaby.
"Please ?
"Never mind," said the phlegmatic
physician. "I'm usod to that.
I'm quite satisfied with you, young
man/' he addressed Peter, "Even If
you uf not with me. Only don't
go on pretending you aren't better,
because we know very well you
are."
For answer Peter growled some
more, then burled his faoe in the
pillow".
"Go on giving him hts sleeping
draught," the doctor told Gaby. Tou
I can gradually lessen the dose ?
eighteen drops, sixteen, fourteen,
and.so on. But on no account give
him mora than twenty drops!''
Turning to go, he looked at her
haggard face, drawn with weeks of
ceaselessly nursing Peter, ceaselessly
wondering about what she would
do ... . what she should do . . .
"You will really have to take carc
of yourself, young woman," said
the doctor. "I don't altogether llko

She murmured some reassurance
to him, and he was gone.
Peter grumbled more than aver
after tho doctor had left. "Fat lot

should want to poison me I don't

"I won't poison you. Peeps," said
Qabyln a low voice.

hearing was impaired. It was the

Peter, despite hie antagonism to
doctors and medicines, was progressing
splendidly. He was not
quite out of danger, though still
weak. And still he called constantly
for Gaby to be ever at bis side, and
still she nursed him tirelessly, relieved
now at times by Christine.
It was bis bedtime, and they had
just helped him from his whcolchair
into his bed when tho telephone
rang in the next room. Gaby
ran to answer it. It was Miguel,
newly returned to London.
"lfo, Michael, I didn't get your
cable," she whispered. "No, X bavn't
been to the Post Office in a long
time. Peter is in."
"Gaby! Gaby! Who 1* itT" called
Peter from his bed.
"It's the doctor," she answered.

Michael, I can't come to you . . .
Peter is ill . . . No, no", it is impossible

"Gaby! Gaby!" Peter kept calling.
The telephone at the other end
clicked with angry finality, and was
silent.
"I'm coming, Peeps, I'm coming'"'
She ran shakily, pale as a blank
page, to his bedside.
"Gaby, v/hat wore you talking
about nil that time? Your nlare in

"Vet, Peeps. My place is here with
you."
Peter soon drowsed off to sleep,
