FFIE ANN adjusted ber fura and arose, her round black eyes refusing to meet the piteous gaze of the little old lady before her. “I know you’ll be reason able, mother,” she conclud ed, “and see that, needing snoney as Edwin does right now, he 'Wouldn’t do differently. When pa died ■*nd Edwin bought this house of you to *elp you out, he had every notion of rkettiog you stay right here, as he told ^eu; but the $1,000 is absolutely need- •^d to set us on our feet again—and wvith a customer turning up right now smd willing to pay cash—well, twas short of providential, and the was made out last night.” 13he bit her Up and reddened as she -shot a furtive glance at the bent tig- •••re, then rushed on. nervously: “Of ♦course you’re to come right over with as soon as Christmas Is over. Pack- fag up will be easy, for, knowing you’d 4mv« no further use for your furnl- toure, Edwin’s told the customer he -«oaM buy It Just as It stood, and, of -•course, the money’ll be yours—a nice, •urn—for Mr. Craig was all car away with your braided rugs and 'Old dishes and furniture: said It made 3feini think of his boyhood home. •“He’s over to the Glendale sanltarl- '4am now for his health—got nervous dyspepsia, or some such thing. Well, % most be rushing along.” Halting In the doorway, she called sharply: “If that good-for-noth- brother of Edwin’s comes ’round tomorrow asking for us, you send thlm about his business lively. He can smell a Christmas dinner a mile off.” The door closed resoundingly. Sunshine poured into the spotless gftchen In a golden flood, lingered lov ingly on the bflght braided rugs and <lhlna closets laden with wlllowware. <hlna and pewter. The grandfather ticked contentedly In a corner, kettle hummed drowsily. Gleeful, e canary sang one exultant song aft- another. table with Its cheerful red cloth been drawn up to the window, Aslntlly set for grandma’s luncheon. Vt eras the same tranquil scene upon her eyes had rested on hun- of other days, and upon which, tomorrow, they would never rest And tomorrow was Christmas! —at day when the friendly ghosts of wA the Christmases that were would lovingly back, only to flee In at lack of festal board and ^Christmas cheer! It must have been the affecting plc- of those disappointed ghosts of Christmases that Impelled grand- •anther to sit erect, swab her red eye- ■ds, stiffen her trembling chin and resolve to thrust her troubles Into the dtackground ’til Christmas should he •sver. “I’ll have a Christmas dinner,’’ •he planned. “Just ns if nothing hud happened and—why. I’ll Invite Edwin’s ' brother!” tfieverlsh with excitement, grand ‘mother hurried to do her marketing. .Mad for the rest of the day the old UStdten abounded with tantalizing -nvSsIng odors. <Tir1stmns morning grandmother was early astir. Sprigs of holly geared the muny-puned windows. The deep armchair had been drawn Invlt- lagly before the fireplace. %he plump and tender turkey was -turojug an lr- ' zeststlhle brown. Onions, turnips, squash and potatoes — white and ■^sweets”—were cooking merrily. The .cranberry sauce had been strained and ■»flt t» eool upon the pantry window- sill, and, adhering to a long-estab lished precedent, grandmother slipped •way' to don her black silk dress, lace *aap and snowy apron. JShe was becoming a .trifle anxious ■about her guest when she spied a gaunt figure coming up the walk. She Settiered hospitably to the doorway and beamed at the visitor. *1 declare I was getting worried for iftear you wouldn’t come, after all.” she said. ’“Edwin and Kttie Ann have gone •way and you’re to have dinner with •me. I’ll dish it right up.” Tbe visitor’s gaze fastened itself the loaded table, and power of •peech seemed to desert him. At grandmother’s request he dex- Jterouslj carved the turkey, and huv- ,been fasting for s week 1“ But when the Indian pudding, pump kin pie and fruit cake had been eaten and they were picking placidly at the nuts, the guest wnxed talkative. “How this all reminds me of home when t was a little boy—this room—a facsimile 1—and you—how you remind me of mother! It must be great,” he broke off sharply, “for you to have your own littie home all to yourself— eh?" v The Christmas sun was already set ting, reminding grandmother that her last day was almost over. With n sudden sob she 'shed her gallant gar ment of pretense, and In anover powering hunger for sympathy, she quavered out her sad little story. The gaunt visitor came around to her side and took her hand with clumsy tenderness. “I’m not the guest you were expect ing but when I saw that dlnneif—well, you couldn’t understand unless you’d^ lived for three weeks on prunes and roast and skim milk. Anyway, I was ravenous from hunger and I haven’t had a dinner of such pure, unadulter ated bliss since mother cooked It. What I came over for today was to say—er—that—er—why, my wife finds she wants to live nearer the city, so I want you to consider this house abso lutely yours as long as you need It I’ll have it put In writing tomorrow.” He shouldered hurriedly into hla c“ht then halted Irresolutely in the doorway. “Maybe, some time," be ventured, uncertainly, “you’d be wil ling to teach my wife to cook.” (© by McCIur* Newspaper Syndicate.) - (WNTT Service) HOPOCATRUC By G.

The happiness which I enjoyed watching my three little girls with their new toys was joy aplenty for me. And I hope that the New Year will bring 8 cent cotton, 6 cent hogs, 75 cent sweet potatoes, 40 cent eggs, 80 cent corn, and many other things which we haven’t had in 1932. And here’s just one more smile for the holiday season.
