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. la ether words, what cweh mwdldatw are promising le to give to the people money which they, the people, mart In the'form of higher eeeto for all the neeeaaltleo of Hfe?new or to the fatare. very cltlaen recognizes the responsibility, through government or other sources, to help those In need.

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. j But the doctor was used to all that. MI assure you be Is out of pain I r <:' tfl I WL , *T ,v on no account mora t now," he told Gaby, "no matter 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 me 40011 01 you." She murmured some reassurance to him, and he was gone. Peter grumbled more than aver after tho doctor had left. "Fat lot o: good that old blights? did; merely patted himself on the back. J won't drink any mora of that filthy . stuff. It's polBon. Why my own wife should want to poison me I don't know." "I won't poison you. Peeps," said Qabyln a low voice. Peter than discovered that his hearing was impaired.

Anything to ease his mental anguish? to give him peace of mind that would enable him to get well and really regain his hearing as the dootor had promised.

"Make reservation* at once!" cried Miguel. e 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. Then into tho telephone:" "No, Michael, I can't come to you . . . Peter is ill . . . No, no", it is impossible ... I don't know wheu . . . Peter is ill. Peter is ill .. .1 don't know when ..." "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 hero with me." "Vet, Peeps.
