She atop Dicky, and de part with htm after telltno both Cltve and Santa what ahe think of them. But it wo all in vain; Dieky turn up next night. Thi time it i Clive who rebel. H fiing Dicky into the kail mil order never to return. Chapter U WOMAN IN A PET , AND now for Bantu! He'd done " right, of course. Dicky had been her visitor. She'd derived some sort of excitement from him. Of the way divorced couples remained curi ous abou each otherl Without a doubt, she'd stUl regarded Dicky as In a limited sense ber property. Whatever her attitude, he mustn't permit ber to make him lose bis temper. He must act cheerfully, as though bouncing ez-husbands were an Invigorating form of exercise. In the drawingroom he found ber on the couch, her legs tucked under ber, cushions piled behind her, giv ing an Imitation of a girl absorbed In a novel. "Hello, sweetheart!" he greeted ber. "We can breathe freely now." No sign that she had heard. Stroll ing over to the window, he gazed Into the abyss of darkness and poke again. "There was no other way. It 'Wasn't pleasant. At last we're rid of iblm." He glanced across bis thoulder. She hadn't stirred. "You're beautiful, but you're not dumb, Santa, If either of ns has canse for offence, I'm the one. New York Isn't Tibet" He had hoped that the reference to Tibet would extract a retort. "In Tibet," he explained, "women are legally entitled to have as many hUBbands as they can support" A tear splashed. She turned a page. The tear melted him. "You're such a little girL When you've made a mistake, why punish tbe person you've wronged?" He relieved her of her book gently. "You're not reading. What's your trouble?" Her faoe quivered. "It was so undignified. He selected a chair at a short dis tance from her, "I agree. It was a climax to all the Indignities which have pursued our marriage." "It's no good, Cllve; I'm shocked. To see you two quarreling like dogs was horrible." , "It must have been." Cllve kept his tone level. "Policemen have to be horrible; but there's a world of difference between a policeman and the ruffian he arrests. And again you're not logical; yon were the architect of this ugliness. Having booted Dicky out of your life, you grew maudlin. You hankered after news of blm. On one pretext or an other you had to feel his pulse and take bis temperature. , "It hasn't been pleasant for me. To say the least, you've shown an extraordinary lack of delicacy. You owed It to me to soft-pedal the fact that you were married again. In stead of soft-pedalling, you've gone out of your way to remind me. What It amounts to Is this I'm your seo ond adventure, whereas you're my only woman." Hitching herself higher on the cushions, she smoothed ber frock down over ber knees. "What It amounts to Is that you're throwing my divorce at me. You're posing as the noble person who oiled himself to stoop to me. Yon regard me as a bigamist" He sprang to bis feet, toppling the chair. "Don't smash my furniture," she murmured. He set the chair to rights with elaborate politeness. "Thank you for recalling to me that nothing In our home Is mine. "I am," she smiled brilliantly. Striving tor self-control, he stood rigid. Her sudden switch from eul lenness to amiability struck a note of Insincerity. "That's as may be, Santa. Every' thing that I possess is yours, If that's what you mean by being mine. But don't let's muddle the Issue. You haven't an atom of respect for me. You abuse my affection and rely on your physical attraction. You're as unfair as your mother." His passion sobered ber. From being tantalising she became ap peasing. "It I've stubbed my toe. It's be cause I ve been too just to every body." Sine she was willing to argue, be reseated himself, slightly mollified '0' UTOENW. Deo. . flV-Alesender O. Brown, secretary of the University of Oregon Alumni association, and the man who directed the successful battle against tha Zorn-Macpheraon school consolidation bill, announced Tuesday he waa resigning from the post and that after a two weeka' va cation he will resume his newspaper work In Portland.

"Like getting out a financial re port on one of your companies," she twitted him. "Don't be so neutral Pull your chair closer." He compiled grudgingly. "Your past doesn't make a favor able showing. You gave me tbe gate when I proposed to you, and en gaged yourself to Dicky." "I was afraid of love," sbe ex cused herself. "I loved you too tre mendously." "And because you loved me toe tremendously, yon left me to sutler. A queer way of showing devotion!" "But I am queer." She rested a band on his knee prettily. "I'll say you are. The bird In the bush the chap you've missed Is the one you value. You discover lofty motives for your chopping and changing. For Instance, when you were pledged to Dicky, you prom ised to follow me to Europe." "You're digging awfully far back, darling." "Why not? I was once the bird you'd missed. You've always been consistent In your Inconsistency. You played the same game on Dicky that you're playing on me. Having, chosen him, you tried to collar both of us." "Then In your opinion I'm promiscuous-minded?" she suggested. "In my opinion," he thwarted her effort to charm him,' "you're totally lacking In a sense of responsibility. Having tossed me to the bow-wows, you reconsidered and divorced Dicky." "Which proves my fairness," she pleaded, "A more obstinate Idiot would have stuck to her guns and ruined the, lives of all tbree of us." "It won't do." He smiled grimly. "I have you sized up. In your own opinion you're a goddess. You csn do no wrong. But when you mar ried me, you were no philanthropist A woman who has failed one man can fall a second. It was up to you far more than to me, to make a spe cial effort Instead of which " She held out her arms. "Can't we cry quits?" "No! We've reached the cross roads. You don't at all appreciate the crisis. I'm through with squawk ing, It your teuderness for Dicky is genuine, you must prefer him. Why not return to him? Tbe de cision we make tonight Is final." He badn't set out to say that. What It in an attempt to lash him back to her she, too, should adopt the whip of cruelty? Her Hps puck ered. Her hands clenched and un folded. "There Isn't any decision." With a wriggle that convulsed her entire body she twisted, burying her face In the cushions. He was on his knees beside her. "I knew there wasn't Please don't hide." She drew his head down. Gradual ly her sobbing ceased. For some moments there was silence. "What are you thinking, Santa?" She released him. "Gee! You're handsome. If you ever looked cross-eyed at another woman, I'd bump ber off. That's how much I care for you." The telephone tinkled. She was on her feet In a second. I'll bet that's Dicky. He never knows what he's licked. Listen while I give him his hall and fare well." She seised the receiver In fight ing mood. "Yes. That's correot Yes,"? She turned. "It's for you a woman." Cllve took the receiver with a vigor scarcely less belligerent than her own. "Hollol What d'you want?" His Irritation evaporated: his tone be came honeyed. "O, It's you! Teach him a lesson. No, she didn't at first Why certainly. I'll beat him up for you any time. Not at all the pleasure's mine." He rang off to discover that Santa was still standing behind him. "Who was she?" "Lou-Lou." "But she's as detestable to me as Dicky Is to you. How did yon get so friendly with her?" He took compassion on her. Con fessed how he'd gone behind her back by visiting Lou-Lou at the theater. With head bent Santa continued the polishing of her nails. "I've lost one husband to Lou-Lou. I don't intond to lose another. Never again, as long as I live, Olive, will I do anything without consult ing you. Yon believe that don't you?"

There are the witches who harm people and quite naturally they don't like Santa Claus because ho Is so good. But Santa guards against them by never letting them enter the Toy shop. ' You are free to come and go up here," Santa told Inga, "We all have a good time because when you go down to the world on Christmas Eve you are only free to talk and play with other dolls after midnight. But there Is one thing you must promise me- don't ever let any witches In. You will know them because they all have very old faces." "Indeed, I won't." said Inga. And then she dismissed the subject from her mind, for there was so much doing In the Toyshop. In the cen ter stood the tiuge Christmas tree on which grow all the little Christ' mas bells. A whole new crop pops out of the branches each day and funny little elves In brown suits and pointed green caps run up and down the branches cutting thorn off TAILSPIN TOMMY km letvj la.

Along the sides of the large rooms are long tables where fairies work painting faces on dolls, curling their hair and dressing them. In another room gnomes work on toy trains and wactons. They even have little furnaces where they melt ! the metal. And they look very Im portant Indeed hammering away. Mrs. Santa is In charge of all the little fairies that make Christmas goodies. Tfrey pop corn and make long white strings to trim the trees. They gather cranberries and bake ginger-cookies until the whole shop smells good. One day Inga was sitting on her throne watching all the excitement when there was a soft rap on the window behind her. She turned and saw a tiny old woman standing on the window ledge carrying a broom almost as big as she was, and wear ing a .high pointed hat. "Let me In, Inga," called the little woman. "I'm tired and I'd like to rest." t "But who are you?" asked Inga. "Just a little old woman who's traveling." "But you're so old looking. You must be a witch," said Inga, re memberln Santa's advice. "I can't let you In." "I am no witch," the woman said. "I have a little present for you." "What Is It?" "Reconstructing The v 'm you DID ABSOLUTELY RI&HT, MH .

"Now let me see the mirror," said Inga.

As she did the little woman mumbled some words to herself which Inga didn't bear because she was looking In the mirror. As she did so a strange thing happened. Her pretty, young face necame all gray and lined, her hair turned gray and stringy and her beautiful dress turn ed to rags. The little woman had bewitched her. Tomorrow -The Magle Mirror.
