One light waa burning to welcome him In the hall; the rest of the apartment waa In darkness. Olanclng Into the drawing-room, he guessed the length of Dicky's stay by the mound of cigarettes. He felt the handle of his bedroom. The door yielded. He was tiptoeing to the bathToom where he planned to undress, when Santa stirred. "I'm awake. You're not disturb ing me." Without waiting for him to switch on the light, she pulled the chain of her lamp. "My dearest," he exclaimed, "your lyes are red. You've been crying. "Dlcky'a been so rotten." She be gan to weep. CUve gathered her to him. "What did you expect? You're the last person In the world to be able to change him. A woman who hadn't been married to him might" "Come here youl" "vii no nice woman would want him the way he Is, Clive," she walled. "That's the tragedy." "It you're asking my advice, you must place your cards on the table." She hesitated. "He's been lying to me. I'm cer tain he hasn't broken away from his bad hablta. He'a been pretending, beoause It amuse him to have me preach to him. I accused him this evening." "How oould you accuse him, old girl If you have no proofs?" "Yon don't need proofs to accuse anybody. I mentioned Lou-Lou and chorus-girls. I told him that If he refused to become decent, I was through with him." "To which' he replied?" Clive questioned. "Nothing." She began to weep gain. "That's what's 10 dreadful. Perhaps he haa been trying and I've misjudged htm." "You've aot misjudged him." Olive comforted her. "If you gave htm his choice to be decent or to get out, we're rid of him. Dicky's the kind who can't be decent." Next evening Dicky presented himself with the solemn expression of one who had hit the saw-dust trail He begged the favor of a con ference with Clive and Santa. "I'm humble." He hung his head. "Santa's Instinct waa right I have . bad dealings with one woman Lou Lou. Today I've aacked her." He raised clear, virtuous eyes. "At laat I'm worthy of your friendship." Clive excused himself. From his library he telephoned the theater and left a message. Then pretended to work, consulting hit watch from time to time, while the murmur of earnestly conversing voices drifted to him from the drawing-room. At aome minutes past eleven the door-bell rang. "I'll answer It" he called. Aa Lou-Lou entered, he whispered, "They're all set Make the show down convincing. Don't spare me." She pressed his hand aa she swept by him.

Didn't want him when be waa yours and now won't let me hare him. One husband Isn't enough. You're pure." For the sake of dramatic effect CUre checked her. "Excuse me. You're speaking to my wife." "Is that sot" Lou-Lou swung round and surveyed blm. "You're a dandy husband a regular prize fighter. How much dosa my man pay you to keep your fists off him?" Dicky waa the last to catch her attention. "Come here yo," she com manded. "My dear Lou-Lou," he protested. As he approached, ahe caught blm a reaoundlng smack across his hand some face. "That's bow dear I am to you. Thought you could gyp me, did you, and that I'd make no scandal? You're coming home, you piker." Dicky bowed. "Anything to atop this unseemly row," he apologized. The door closed behind them Clive stared at Santa. "There's a woman In a thousand Whatever her morals, she can tell the truth. I'm a boob. You'n Lou - Lou commanded. loose-minded. We're a pretty pair." Santa flung herself Into his arms. "Darling, I've been a fool. No don't kiss me. I wish you'd strike me." They supposed that Dlcky'a In trusions were ended. Next evening, with his accustomed assurance, he called again. Santa opened to him. He began at once to proffer his excuses. When prodigals forsook the swine of the Far Country, fare wells were Inevitable. What could one expect from a girl of Lou-Lou'a vulgarity? At that moment Clive Joined Santa. Seizing Dicky y the scruff of the neck, he flung him like a sack Into the passage. From across the threshold he addressed him. "It ever yon attempt to communi cate with my wife, I won't be re sponsible tor what I'll do." Picking himself up, Dicky de livered his Parthian shot "That my wife stuff sounds line. But Santa was my wife before ahe waa yours, allow me to remind yon," Breathing heavily, Clive slammed the door and listened to the de parting footsteps of his enemy. To postpone having to face Santa, he peered Into the passage. Dicky had vanished. Clive waa nervous aa to the extent of the damage he had done him. He pressed the button for the elevator and asked the boy In charge whether a gentle man had recently descended. On being answered In the affirmative he enquired, "Did he teem O. K.T" The boy grinned. "Some guy had landed him a peach o! a an-ash on the forehead." "But apart from that?" "From hta neck down he wai Jake. It you was the guy, elr, who pasted him, you did a swell Job." Clive slipped a dollar-bill Into the lad's hand the reward of ad miration. (CettrttU mt-im. terne,,,, Dim.) Bn( mints Ollvt-s hirale milium, tomorrow, and for a curious rilion.

So he hid her outside and went Into the Toyshop to announce that he was ready to show what he had made. Bring her In, bring her In," Santa said. "I'll collect all the dolls and fairies. We'll let them decide." When all the people of Toyland had gathered under the huge Christ mas tree In the center of the work shop, the Gnome led In the beautiful Inga. She didn't know why they were all there, but It was such a gay-looking company that she burst Into the prettiest smile and madia a low curtsey to them.

He looked so forlorn that Inga noticed him and she wanted to make him happy. She walked over to him and took his hand, saying, "I know who you are. You can make people happy when all the rest of us fail." Plnoochlo was so embarrassed aL being noticed that he turned quite red and traced a pattern on the floor with the point of one of his shoes.

Inga smiled, but she didn't laugh. Maybe It was because the Snow Princess had helped make her. She seemed to see a little farther Into the hearts of the toys around her. Dolls have hearts, you know. Inga knew that Plnoochlo was dancing because the dolls liked to see blm, but she also knew that un derneath bis funy red and yellow suit he felt like crying. So while he danced she wove a little tiny wreath of mistletoe leaves and when he finished she put them around hla head, and said, "This Is for the King of Good Hearts."
