BEGIN HEBE TODAY Clare Jewett, in love with the Reverend Daniel Gilchrist, marries Jerry Good kind for his money. Daniel is dismissal from the fashionable Church of the Nativity in New York because of his radical sermons. "Overcoat Hall,” a refugee for the unemployed, is established by Gilchrist. George Goodkind. Jerry’s father, calls and orders Daniel to cease seeing Clare, who frequently visits the hall to help Gilchrist. Clare says she has left Jerry, and Daniel sends her back to him. Clare returns to her husband. Joe - pfennig and his gang break in and threaten Gilchrist. U man ski meets the mad gang. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY G r=q HAT S It, ho sold. Don t ! 1 let this guy buffalo you. } I Come on, let's drive him out.” Hennig came close to Gilchrist. “I told you I'd get you,” he sneered. The mob pressed closer. Umanski placed his bulk In front of them. They were fast closing in on him. “Listen to me,” commanded a voice. It was Goodkind. who had forced his way through to face them. “No violence. You are dealing with a lunatic.

MARY' MARGARET, CRUTCHES AT HER SIDE, WAS STILL PRAYING. I’ve got a doctor coming down here. Leave it to me and I’ll have this place closed tonight.” The mob was becoming more rest less—moving closer. Miss Levinson and the Henchleys were bricking toward the windows. Mary Margaret looked on helplessly from the platform. Her face was ter-ror-stricken. She dropped her crutches to her side and knelt. "Oh. dear God, please listen—" she besought. And then fervently, she began to repeat the Lord’s prayer. Her voice fas lost in the growing tumult. "Leave him alone,” warned Goodkind. "Y’ou can’t beat-a crazy man!" "He ain’t crazy,” shouted Pearl. “He ain’t & man. Ain’t you seen what he just done for me. I lieu to him and he’s me another chance and I’m gonna take it. He ain’t no man. He’s a saint. I tell you he’s like God.’" Laughter first and then a serious muffled protest oame from the mob. “That's what he's been tellin’ 'em. Ain't it. Grubby. Jimmie, didn’t he tell you he was the son of God?" Assenting nods came from here and there in the * pressing throng and whispered or mumbled threats. "That’s what he told ’em all,” Joe blurted. "That’s how he gets ’em.” Joe turned menacingly toward Gil-

christ. “Didn’t you tell ’em you was a son of God?” he demanded. Gilchrist straightened. "I am," he said simply. There were epithets of scorn, wrath, fire now in the mass that edged closer with fists shaking in the air and curses shouted aloud. Gilchrist stood his ground and raised his right hand. "So are we all!” he shouted. "In you—and me—and all of us—deep down—ls something of Him. We may try to hide it—or kill it. but in spite of ourselves we are divine.” Tony Malduca stepped out of the press and faced him. “If you’re a son of God —save yourself. If you're what you say—give us a sign.” There was a pause—a silence. Then Hennig, with a gesture, turned loose the fury. “Aw. hell, come on!” he shouted. Chaos came at his call. With the false courage that cowards can muster through numerical superiority the horde advanced. Chairs toppled, tables crashed, the jangle of breaking glass could be heard. Men and 'women grappled in a struggle that knew no order. “Kill!” “Murder!” "Police!" Words of violence were those that rose to the surface of this seething mass. But above It all occasionally there came the voice of a child: “ —but deliver us from evil, for Thine is—” Mary Margaret, her crutches at her side, was still praying. Men felt inert here and there. “ —forgive us our trespasses—” prayed Mary Margaret. Umanski rose to his feet at the edge of the milling mass. Rage doubled bis strength as he flung himself at them. They quailed before him. The mass untangled Itself and men and women slunk off. There, on the floor lay the hulk of a man. It was Gilchrist. A thin stream of red trickled down his face. There was a guilty silence. ” —and the power and glory, forever. Amen.” Mary Ma’rgaret opened her eyes. She might have been looking down from that little hill near Golgatha. She drew herself to her feet and with a mute stare started slowly for the apparently lifeless figure in the center. A piercing scream halted her. “Mary Margaret!" cried Miss Levinson. "Where are your crutches?” The girl looked down in bewilderment at her feet. "I don't know,” she said absently, advancing. Then full realization came to her. “I kin walk. I kin walk.” she shouted. She bent over the prostrate form. "Mr. Gilchrist,” she cried. "Mr. Gi’christ!” She put her arms about him. Pearl Hennig turned on the mob. "I told you!” she exclaimed. "I told you he was a saint.” I'manski face them, too. “You want a sign!" he thundered. “Look! Down on your knees —you d—d murderers." he commanded. "God’s in this room. Down on your knees.” Dazed, bewildered, they dropped to their knees. Heads bowed. Here and there trembling hands made the sign of the cross.

CHAPTER XII Another Christmas Eve Another Christmas eve had come and with it the hush of a halted world. Its busy creatures pausing in their pellmell, some with reverent reason and others merely because a day had been marked red In the calendar. The glow- of dying embers fell upon Gilchrist as he sat in reverie before an open fireplace in his room "upstairs,” his eyes dreamily far away as he puffed contentedly on a pipe. It was a simple, unpretentious room. Its furnishings were cheery and It was banked with friendly books. A faint tapping at the door hardly stirred him, and before he could turn Mary Margaret had entered furtively. She saw him in the dim light and hastily hid a package behind her back. "Oh,” • she exclaimed. "Goodness, you scared me. I thought you went out.” “No,” he said, "I came up here to read a little while before we put our gifts oh the tree. Where’s Grubby? He promised to help.” "Grubby’s all swelled up with his new taxicab,” she said, a little contemptuously. "Christmas eve's the big night in his business, but he says don't worry—he’ll be here in time for the sandwiches. Am I interruptin’ your reading?” "Oh, no,” he answered, noting her obvious efforts to hide her package. “What have you there?” “Where?” Her evasion was childlike. “Under your apron.” *** was gonna surprise you,” she suit#. "It’s your Christmas present. It ain’t much —an’ I didn’t want it on the tree—before everybody. I wanted to give it to you myself. Open it now.” He did so. smiling. He held up a picture, its simple significance lost In the blatant colors of a cheap chromo. “Mary Margaret!” “The name’s on the back," she said. “See —’Mama's Treasure.’ ” “It’s just what I wanted,” he said. “Is It, honest?” she rejoiced in delight. "Let’s put it in place of that one over the mantelpiece. That’s an awful pretty pitcher, but mine’s got colors In It.” "Why not In place of the Venus who fell on her nose?” he suggested. She assented readily and with an air of pride he stood the picture on top of the bookcase. "I can’t thank you enough," he .said, taking her hand, “You thank me,” she reproached. "You that's give me— ’’ She looked down at her where crutches had once stood. They were gone now. “Oh, Mr. Gilchrist!” she started, and her eyes filled with tears. "Now, now,” he warned, "we mustn’t cry on Christmas." “What are you going to do if you’re happy?” Try laughing." he said. And she

did. “And if I'm having my Christmas now, you must have yours, too. Suppose you rummage on the sofa.” She hurried over and made her way through a score of packages. There was a book for Miss Levinson and gifts for a dozen others. "This one isn’t marked,” she said, holding It aloft. “Is it mine?” "No,” he replied, "those are gloves for Mack. I wanted to show I appreciated his bringing back that coat.” Finally she found it—a large box marked with her name. She opened it breathlessly and held up child's fur set. a muff and neckpiece In beaver. "Oh, Mr. Gilchrist,” she protested feebly. "Oh, you oughn’t.” She tried them on and ran to a mirror. "They’re beautiful,” she went on rapturously. "They’re the beautlfulest furs I ever see. I’ve wanted a set like this al ways. I never was so happy before In my life.” The tears started again, but he held up an admonitory finger and they turned to laughter. ”1 don’t know how to thank you,” she said. "Don’t try," he returned. She scurried off to show her present to her mother. As she opened the door Mr. Goodkind reached the stairway landing and entered. Mary Margaret turned toward Gilchrist aJarnied, and stood by ready to proteat him. "Well—Mr. Goodkind,” welcomed Daniel. “May I come In?” the visitor asked, meekly. “Os course.” Daniel drew up a chair.

"I've only a moment, Jerry’s waiting for me in the car.” “How is Jerry?” Gilchrist Inquired solicitously. Goodkind was sadly eying Mary Margaret. “I wish you could perform a miracle on him,” he said, disconsolately. (Continued in Our Next Issue) Play copyrighted, 1022, in the United States and England.
