Nobody has a right to talk that way on Christmas Eve, even to himself; least of all the president of a struc tural steel company which is just fin lsbing the best year In ItB history But it waa precisely because \the Spirit of ChrtstmaB\ had Jumped at him from ever y advertisement be had read that John Stanwlx was a trifle out of sorts. It was with a real feeling of relief that Stanwlx had turned to the tele | phone advertisement. No room In a ! telephone advertisement for mushy sentiment about the Spirit of Christ mas or the Spirit of anything else, thank heavens ! John Stanwlx-waa not a sentimen talist Stanwl x and Co. bad won its way to success by following a simple business code which called for a good product at a fair price, honest wage s for employee s and honest work In re turn for them. The men who stoked his furnaces did what they were paid for, nothing mor e Ther e wa s rather more \sentiment\ in the telephone advertisement than Stanwlx had expected. The picture showed a gan g of repairmen clinvblng out of a* track to mend som e toll lines whloh t^ari h » fl i] hroken down by a sleet storm- The text described the battle which these men light against the winter winds, against hunger and fatigue, without regard for workin g hours and wit h no hope of extra re ward, in order to maintain telephone communication or to restore It when it has been interrupted. And then, from the middle of the page, there leaped at Stanwlx the phrase \The Spirit o f Service.'' \Bosh! \ repeated Starfwlx, just as Mrs Stanwlx entered the room \John said she \I wish you would ask Dr Burnham m run ove r and look at Jackie. He' s a-- restless as can be and I'm sure' his fever Is higher than it was this afternoon. It's foolish to worry, I know , but -\ Stanwlx did not give his wife time to finish the sentence. Th e sentiment which he had repressed in his business life was lavished in double portion upon his three -year old namesake who , h e often told hims-lf. would some da y take his place as head of the Stanwlx organization. He reached for the tele phone. • \Number plea*\' asked a pleasant voice. 1 \Fairmon t 8736;' said John Stanwlx. !T * The y were havfic a Christmas party in the' recreation rooms of the Fair mont Exchange.)

Just In time to catch a glowln f signal at her position. There may very well have been something of the Christmas npirit In her \Number , please' \ as she plugged In to answe r the call \Fairmont 8755,\ she heard John Stanwlx say * • • • The rather forbidding name nsed by Dr Burnham In his diagnosis of the child's symptoms doesn 't particularly matter But the grave shake of the head with which he pronounced It did matter —matter vitally to John Btan- wix and hie wife that Christmas Bra. Vaguely they were made to under stand that their ehijd was Wferina; from a malady so'serious that there waa but oae chase* la many hundreds of his rapeTeryljnill mora ragael y thejr \comprebeSjiS that this one chance lay In the nee o#a newly dis covered serum with which Dr. Alonao J.

Ever y Christmas, thus far—there had been four of laem—eince Jflm Junior arrived, Betty aad Jim had trimmed a tree for him. It had become something of a family rite Outside It was storm ing—the kind of a combination of sleet which Betty, aa the wife of a telephone repairman, had learned to hate and fear Betty dabbed at a tear that wa s get ting ready to splash down when the telephone rang. \I guess I can't make It tontsjht.

It may bo a case of life and death.\ \I'll do everything I can to hurry it up and will call you as soon as w e get a circuit,\ was wha t the girl at the toll office said. • • • Patrolman O'Rourke had Just turned the corner of Eighty-first s^-eet whe n be saw a girl walking ahead of him, stumbling through the drifts which al ready piled the Bidewalk. Overtaking her, he saluted the girl. She glanced up with a friendly smile and they fell Into step. I No kind of a night for the Hkea of you to be out!\ said O'RourkeTa note of kindly protest in his voice. \No kind of a night for the likes of you to be out, either!\ rippled, the girl. ' % \Oh—well in the line of duty, you know—I have to be out. I'm a police man. \Same here,\ smiled the girl. \I'm a telephone operator \ \Little late to be gettln' to work , If you're on the night platoon, ain 't It? \ asked O'Rourke. Oh,\ answered his companion, \I 'm not due to report until morning. But I live pretty well up town and this storm will make it hard going and will double the traffic, eve n if tomorro w is a holiday And , anyway , some of the girls are laid up with} flu and—well, there's a pretty cozy place to sleep at the exchange. They'r e probably short- handed tonight and I thought mayb e I could help out. We often do that, you know, In bad weather It's—well , it's what you folks of the police force call 'In the line of duty' I guess. Goo d night—and Merry Christmas!\ called the girl, aB she turned into the door of the exchange building. Shaking the snow from her coat and hat and hanging them in her locker, she stepped into the operating room and spoke quietly to the chief opera tor. You're a'regular brick!\ said that competent young ; p*raoa* \Tea If you will, I wish yon could take the Number 17 position for a while, Miss Rodger* is pretty well tuckered out\ It waa at Number 17 position, a fe w minutes later, that the toll operator asked for Columbus 9300. It waa. Dr. Burnham'* call for St Stephen'* Hos pital. • • • Jim Howard went to the telephone and called up the test board. Hello.

Some servioe, I'll say\ • • * \Yes Burnham, I can get it on the midnight train all righ t N o trouble at all. Glad you called me. Le t me know how the youngster gets along. 'Night\ Dr. Alonso Thornton replaced the receiver, looked up at the clock In 8t Stephen'* Hospital, stepped briihly into the laboratory and began prepar ing for shipment the package which, a few boon later, wa s to bring a ne w chance for lite to Jackie Stanwlx and new hope to hi* almost despairing parents. • • • There was no Christmas day for the Staswiaes— or for Dr . Alfred Burnham. Grimly at first, then, as the little pa tient began to respond to the serum treatment more hopefully, and finally with an air of calm confidence, as it became apparent that the tide had been turned, the physician fought for the life of Jackie Stanwlx. There was a gleam of triumph in his haggard eye* as, toward nightfall, he pulled on hi* fur overcoat to go. \Rest is all he needs now—and ae do both of you,\ he said, his hand on the doorknob. \Dr. Burfihsm, how can we ever repay you for what you hare done 7\ said John Stanwlx, hi* usually firm voice shaking with repressed emotion. \Repay met\ smiled Dr. Buraham . \That's simple. It'* the people wh o helped me that you can never repay \ \Helped your asked Btanwix, a lit tle uncertainly, \What do you mean?\ 'Til tell you, Stanwlx,\ said the physician. \The first couple of years after I got out of medical school I w*3 the company physician of a tele phone company.
