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,

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.

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.”

HOPOCATRUC
By G. Chalmers McDermid.
My-sincerest wishes to'you all are.
that you have had as joycus a Christ
mas as I have had. 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. Ed Wynne in his
radio program the other night was
asked some questions about his car.
“Do you know where the universal
joint is?”
“Sure,” said Wynne, “I was there
when the blamed place was .raided.”
