NOW OO OS WITH THE STORY • "I didn't like to Interrupt your studies, David, but I had to " Duncan paused and looked intently at the lad. "You see, I've dism i s s e d my d o c t o r s -- . "Why?" David was troubled. He sensed what was coming And yet he dreaded to hear It. "Because they've dismisSed me. I've been told I'll be lucky to live Until the end of the year. I wanted to "see you again before I died." He paused and then continued as he noted the lad's silence and sorrowful expression. "That's why I :sent for ypu." j With David around, Duncan j brightened up for & spell. The ministrations of the young: pUysioiau - seemed to help him. Jane seemed brighter, too, but of course she would, seeing David was near. The young doctor's presence did not seem to improve Waldo, yet he said nothing and ail apparently went well during the summer; but When fall came, Duncan commenced to droop again. He felt that before the new year, he would be gone. In fact he begged David to give him death as a Christmas present. but the lad refused. He felt Ins I could give you a real Christmas present-- a cure. But I can't-- And you ask me for a strange gift--• death." Duncan pleaded. "What differew does it make if I go next week, or ai month from now? You know what! I'm going through. Surely you pit?| me." "I can't do what you ask. The! word 'incurable' doesn't belong In medicine. There's always a chance we may And a cure. We've got to keen on frying'." 1 The Invalid relaxed on hts Couch with a helpless expression on hla face, and David rose and made hla exit. The spirit had been taken out of the lad. Jane noticed It, the moment became into the room. "What'a wrong. David?" she asked. He looked totfard the sick room.' She followed his . glance and- Inquired, "How is he?" Graham was silent and Jane, a little frightened, asked, "You brought him what he wanted?" {Nie lad shook his head in the negative. She reached forward'ahd put her hand on his shoulder In a gesture of comfort. Duncan, however, was hot aiorte.' Waldo had entered to keep him company. "How do you feel, John?" he sympathetically inquired. ' "Reach under my pillow--you'll ffnd a paper." Walda obeyed, taking a piece of notepaper from under Duncan's pillow, "liead it," the In*. valid ordered. Waldo read aloud, "t am going to end my life before the New Year is born. It is the only means of escaping my suffering, which becomes more intolerable each day. I write this note while I still have the use of my right hand. John Duncan." As he finished reading, Waldo looked at the invalid ^or a moment in silence, •QUGHT BY THE C §lf • - Tri and Persons in the Current News While fa fova for additional presents, David was approached by * panhandler, Morgan by name (Posed by Neil Hamilton and John Skeekm) »ure that Puncan would pull through ,and that with another Spring he would be better and happier. When Christmas came. Jane and David planned to give the invalid the greatest holiday of his whole life. They imported a number of children from the orphanage to en- Joy the festivities. A big Christmas tree adorned the living-room and the dining room table was ladened with choice morsels--a Christmas dinner unequalled. There were presents for everybody, and even a Santa Claus. While in town for additional presents. David was approached by a panhandler, Morgan by name. "Excuse me. Doc--Could you slip a guy a little change to make him forget It ain't such a Merry Christmas." i Almost automatically .Graham started to dig into his pockets for money, then he stopped and looked quizzically at Morgan. "How'd you like a job?" i A dismayed look came Into the •tramp's eyes. "I'm a sick man, . brother--I can't work. • "You'd hardly call it work," Graham laughed. » "What do I have to do?" Morgan cautiously asked. , "Take my place for a couple of hours being Santa Claus." David indicated one of the bundles in his arms. "I have the outfit right here. I had an idea 1 was going to wear It, but I know I'd get stage fright. I think you could do much better.' "I should say so!" Morgan eagerly exclaimed. "I've had lots of experience^-- 1 was with Walter Hampden for one season and with the Salvation Army for three." "There's a five spot and a good dinner in it for you." Morgan was joyoua. "Merry Christmas, brother? Where are the reindeer?" w "Follow me." f As they arrived at the house, the children were singing "Holy Night.' David turned Morgan over to Mai colm with the instructions to help him dress and above all to keep him out of sight of the children. •' "'Now there's two ways of playin any part--whether it's Santa Claus or Hamlet," Morgan explained to the disgusted Malcolm*. "Either you pwt your heart into it. or you don't. Now if they expect me to put my heart into this, I've got to have a little shot." The butler eyed Morgan's undershirt with abhorrence. "In the matter of liquid refreshment, I'd suggest ah exterior rather than an Interior' application.' Morgan grinned. "Tell you what I'll do--You get me a drink an' I'll take a batii. It'll be medicine for me. I been stahdin' out in the •now for hours--I nearly froze to death. I'm not a drinkin' man--It's ' only I need something to warm me "I'm shocked that you should even think of such a' thing." "If you were In my place you'd understand. 1 thought David would give me th^ way out, but he refused." "Of course he has." . There was gentle reproach in Waldo's vojee. Outside of any moral right, he has no legal right as your physician to provide you with the means of suicide." "That's why I wrote the note--to protect him. I've been given up by a dozen specialists. There's no hope for me--you know that. It would be so easy for David to help me." ,"You mustn't give up. You must keep on fighting." I can't fight any more. I want rest, that's all. Maybe you'll help me." There was sudden hope In '. Duncan's voice. "Will you?" Waldo was surprised. "Me?" "You have no ethical problems to face. You're my friend, my cousin. Vou can get it for me. It's so simple--just a few pellets. You dissolve them In liquid and inject--and you go to' sleep and never wake up to pain." The man became urgent. 'Bob. please--you'd take pity on an animal; take pity on me." He watched Waldo's thoughtful face. "Let me think--I'm trying to figure out the right thing to do." But Waldo gave him no answer • then. Instead, he, like David, left the room. A puzzled Malcolm was search- - lng for David, for Morgan, the . Santa Claus, had vanished. In fact. ; Morgan had taken advantage of the butler's absence to help himself to cigars and explore the house. The tour revealed the secret panel into Waldo's wine cellar, and Morgan was at the minute tanking up on liquor of a rare vintage. Still in the garb of Santa Claus, he was having the merriest Christmas of his career while Malcolm and David were searching for the missing Kris Kringle. Not being able to find him, the butler was pressed into service, wearirg a suit of armor as a disguise. The party was a huge success. The children were happy and went back to the orphanage delighted. Morgan slept peacefully in the wine cellar. The day following found Waldo in hisnfflce preparing tS dictate a new will for Duncan. The invalid had decided after ail to leave his entire fortune to David. On second thought, however, Waldo decided not to trust such an important matter to his secretary. He Would type It himself.

Why should; • ,. David get all the good things of life, while he starved for them? He sat down to the typewriter* found some legal sized paper, and began to type, using a single fingef of each hand. He paused a minute to think. His eyes wandered oveir "Shall I buy a high test gasoline tor quick starting? Or shall I buy a high anti-knock gasoline for smoother power?" You have had to choose one or the other. Refiners have felt they could not give you bothr at no extra cost. In fact, most, gasolines give you neither.
