The old year was gone an^ nothing could be done about it; but a new one meant new beginnings, fresh opportunities, new hope and courage to put into living. She and Donald had had only one year dThappy married life, then his firm had failed, and persistent effort had, so far, failed to bring him an other job. Still Maizie kept her faith. “Something’s bound to come soon,” she mused as she went about her morning tasks, “The New Year is almost here—” “Hello, darling,”’ called Donald from the doorway.” Greet an un crowned king—a working man. Once more we eat.” “I bow t6 your majesty,” laughed Maizie. “Shall I offer a kiss or kneel at your feet?” “1 prefer the kiss; this is a de mocracy,” grinned Donald. “Sit here and tell me all about it.

Parents who have way to us.” “If that’s the way it works, keep right on with your hunches, dear. Maybe that little house you’ve been wanting will just throw open its doors some day and invite us to take possession. How do you get these hunches you talk about?” “Just believe hard enough and you’ll get what you want,” giggled Maizie. I’m concentrating on that house right now.” Winter and spring passed. Don ald’s work was going fine. “It’s not such a hot job,” he confided to Maiz- 1 ie, “but one can’t be choosy these days; but the company’s a going concern and there’s always a chance of advancement. Gosh, it’s hot irN here.” They were, at dinner, and Maizie had turned on the electric fan. “You look all washed out girl, this is too hard on you. Better run down to your mother’s till this hot weather is over.” “Desert the ship? Never,” quoted Maizie. “I’m all right. You’re go ing to get that raise in salary and then we’ll look for a >house.” “What!” retorted Donald, “anoth er hunch? Don’t we have to wait till the New Year?” “It’s more than a hunch this time, Donald, and we’ll wait till the New Year,” replied Maizie soberly. It seemed to Donald, sitting in the chair at the end of the long corridor that the night would never end. Nurses slipped in and out qf Maizie’s room stopping occasional ly to say: “Your wife is doing fine, Mr. Gordon,” but always closing the door behind them with that air nL finality that meant: “You are not to come in,” when he wanted nothing so much but to be with Maizie. When he tried to question the doctors they were noncommit tal. Twice he had gone out in the frosty air to walk, but he couldn’t stay away. Then with the gray dawn a smiling nurse led him to Maizie’s bedside. She smiled bravely at him, and gave him a reassuring kiss. “Poor boy, it’s been hard for you, too. Now take a look at your son.” She turned back the blanket and re vealed a downy pink head snuggled close to her breast. “Do you know what day this is, Donald?” Donald stared reverently at his son. “No,” he said, “I’m still too dazed to think. It seems years since last night.” Maizie smiled. “It’s New Year’s day, and Lady Luck is with us. We’re a proud fam ily.” “And I’m closing the deal for the house tomorrow,” Donald added. dian, vs. Jno. Black McSwain, et al.
