between! thieves i E?£rt I I it perkstl] ' P / ABEZ GOIIM was a hard nut ■ t 0 cra< -'' { ao<l Proud of It I " wWB Nobody realized It more) than the group of hard men who sat around a table I with him, comfortable In their arm < hairs, warm with the heat of steam 1 radiators and plenty of coal, and little I uterested In those who could not pay 11 for protection against the bitter late'i December cold. "I guess he could pull through If we nursed him a bit,"one of the group'' wus remarking. “He’s young, and en thualastlc. His organization's good.; Never let himself get cornered like this before. Sure will be a lesson to, him.” "Nurse him long enough, he'll get | Into the wholesale line and Increast competition. Aren’t there enough of ns already?” It was Jabez Gorm who 1 spoke. “If you don’t encourage the good! ones a bit, you’re apt to get all the! more bad ones.” A hard voice from a hard face was speaking on the other side of the table. “Ever seen a good one when he’s selling ngalnst you’" Jabez countered “Kinda hard to hammer n fellow the first time he's up against It," a rather kindlier voice broke In. “Harder he's hammered the tougher he’ll get. That’s how I got tough I ened," said another. On and on the debate went. Figures were tabled. How much the debtor owed; how much he was likely to produce In bankruptcy; how much the dividend would be; whether I it would pay better to tnko OU per | cent and get rid of a potential rival or get 75 and let him start again with ’ a clean sheet, or give him lots of time to pay In full. On and on they argued. The snow cluttered up the window and deafened the outside sounds of I happiness and good cheer, of hasten i l BBB' i fll s I fjj® i jl r 7~ £Eg. Uj’ si'??"' v- •. _ i "Look, Daddy, What Santa Claus Left fcr Me!" Ing feet, of shivering limbs, of arms flapping to keep hungry and ill-clad bodies .warm. And the argument went on. Cheerful greetings, happy saluta tlous, heartfelt good wishes were ex , changed right and left in the street below; but in an upper room ot the big hotel the hard-faced group argued on and heard nothing “Well, look, fellows, we can't stay all night. I gotta take the train tonight. All packed up an’ everything. Going to play golf in Florida over the holidays. Gotta get this thing over quick or I miss that train." “Lucky dog. I can't afford to play golf In Florida.” This from Jnber. Gorm. "Neither can I afford to play good Samaritan to bankrupt young fools. Let him assign and be done with it.” The final decision was so registered. ' and the creditors' meeting brokw up, one to fly for a train heading south; some to join hilarious parties in the banquet halls of the hotel; Jabez. Gorm to return to a big. stern-looking house in which many servants bad j prepared with professional efficiency the seasonal decorations, the gifts and the festal touches that fashion and , , social custom required to be provided ! for the children of this very elegint 1 house. Seven o’clock next morning. The I hells were ringing their annual mes sage of peace and good will. A choir In a little nearby church was singing. "Noel. Noel." Charlie Gorm, five years old and full of faith In the things that really matter, was dancing round the paternal bed of the Gorm household. "Look, Daddy, what Santa Claus left for me! 'N' a letter with it an’ evvytliin’. Look." Jabez roused himself and read: "I was cleaning up your house when I saw the kid’s stocking hung up and remembered about Christmas Hate to do anybody a bad turn on Christmas Eve. Here’s a buck for the baby's Christmas. Look out for your silver and other valuables some olher night." Not so Ion; ago Jabez had taken prizes at Sunday school. , Funny that the only lesion he could think of now was about another thief who repented In time and won the first guaranteed pass through the pearly gates of heaven. Jabez Gorm would have given s hand to call that meeting back. But they were gone their sevornl ways. Not for months could they all be got together again. The church hells pealed once tmue. To Jebez Gorm they seemed to slug. “Too lai", too late, too late, wo late . . •" l(Jj, 19g?. Western Lnloa.l | 1
