Patsy liked the nice postman, Tim, who came to see Ann and. tomelinies they all went to the movies together. ^Tim could play “pretend” almost a.s gf^od as Ann. But once she heard him call Ann his best girl, and say: “Some day -you’re going to cook for me.” After that she did not like hirri so well. Things seemed all wrong, and Santa hadn't answered her letter, and it was only two days till Christmas. She had said;“Plcase write soon,” and that had been days ago. He must help quick, or it would be too late. Several times a day she would go "to the mailbox and stand on tip toe to look in for fear her letter Iwd been overlooked. “Here, Tim,” said one of the of fice clerks, “is another of the kid letters to Santa Claus; guess this one’s up to you.” Printed in a .childisli scrawl on the envelope, Tim rc;id: “Santa Claus, care of Tim.” He drew out the folded paper. It read: “Dear Santa, please bring Tun another best girl cause Ann has j t() cook for “Your friend, Patsy Hoynolds.” Tim stared, then chuckled: “San- t.T, old boy, you’re up against it this time.’’—Jorile Webb Pearson. 0 Western Newspaper Union. hastily-mobilized policemen.
