Y., I / By Boyce Fields THE JOLLY SANTA, ringing his bell in an appeal for contribu tions for the needy, grinned his thanks a* Dick Slater dropped a bill into the kettle. The donation was a salute, not only to the Yule tide spirit, but to Dick’s own good fortune. He had a home, a lovely wife named Jean, and a smaller reproduction of himself named Pete. What more could a man want? One other thing made this a great day for Dick. He was on his way to fulfill a dream. While they were still engaged, he had bought a strand of simulated pearls for Jean. Somehow the feeling had grown on him that, until he could replace the phoney baubles with a string of real ones, he wouldn’t be a success in the eyes of his dark haired, brown-eyed Jean. “Put this card on the outside of the package," he told the clerk who wrapped his gift. On the card he had written: TO A REAL PEARL—A STRING OF THEM! It was begining to get dark when Dick got off the train in suburban Roseville where he lived. He started to walk briskly toward his home, two blocks away. Happy in the glow of having at last, real ized his cherished dream, he didn’t see the figure lurking in the dark alley till the man stepped out and thrust the gun into his abdomen. “This is a stickup!" the thug snapped hoarsely. “Turn around and get your hands up!" A feeling of relief flooded Dick as he remembered he had spent most of his money on the necklace. Then the thought hit him the necklace itself was in his pocket! "Listen fellow," he pleaded, over his shoulder, with the gunman, “I have a Christmas present for my wife in my pocket. Take my money, but leave me that.” The hoodlum didn’t answer. Methodically, he continued taking everything out of Dick’s pockets. As his hand started to remove the precious little package, Dick Slater went wild! He whirled, slapping with his left hand at about where he thought the gun would be. He caught nothing. The thief merely stepped back and brought the heavy gun crashing down on his victim’s head. AS THE DARKNESS cleared away, Dick became aware that he was in a hospital. Gradu ally, he realized Jean and little 1 Pete were beside his bed. ! “Oh Dick!" Jean half sobbed, half laughed, “I’ve been scared! The doctor says you only have a slight concussion, though, and you’re going to be all right!" As bis head continued to clear, the realization of his loss over whelmed Dick. The thief merely stepped back and brought the heavy gun crashing down on his vic tim’s head “I had a present for you, Jean . . he began. “I know, Foolish,” his wife cut in, “and you almost lost your life trying to save it.” “But it was the string of real pearls I’ve always wanted you to have, Jean. You know how much they meant to me!” “Yes, I’ve known the silly obses sion you’ve had about my wearing simulated pearls," Jean said al most sternly. “It never seemed to occur to you that my husband and little Pete were the real pearls in my life!” “Well, this is going to be a bum Christmas for you," Dick said glumly, “and I thought it would be the best yet," “It’s going to be," Jean told him. “Look!" She put her arm under his shoul der and lifted him to a sitting posi tion. In one corner of the room was a beautiful little Christmas tree. Piled high under it were the gifts he and Jean had wrapped for little Pete. Jean went over and brought back two of the packages. One was her present to him—a watch he had wanted. The other package... Suddenly, be recognized it—the pearls! “Yes." Jean said, “my pearls. When the police caught the thief, be hadn’t time to open them even." • V / ORGANIZATIONAL CALENDAR MT.
