Ferguson IT WAS a dark, blustery Novem- ■1 ber afternoon where Sam Padgett looked out the door of his second hand hardware store and saw the little old lady for the first time. She wore a faded black shawl around her head and shoulders; her thin body was hunched against the biting north wind that was sweeping in gusts along Hackett Street. As Sam watched her, she paused for a moment to admire his display of repainted gas heat ers in the window. Sam hurried outside. ’’How about putting a heater in the lay away for winter?” he asked. Her watery eyes met his for a fleeting second, then She shook her head and walked on. Then one day, toward the end of the month, she came into the store and handed Sam a dollar in small coins. "The little stove where the sign says $6,” she said. "You put for me in the laying away, please?” "Sure,” agreed Sam. "Only that’s a mighty small heater. You think it’s big enough?” "I got just a little room on the back of the house,” she replied. "Is my son’s house. A little room on the north side of the house. Is very cold when the wind Is blow ing strong.” "You got heat in the rest of. the house?” inquired Sam. "Heat, yes. In the kitchen is big stove for cooking. In the big room is stove for my son and his wife and the children. Little stove is plenty good for me.” Sam wrote a receipt acknowl edging one dollar received on ac count from Mrs. Josef a Patara. And every few days Mrs. Patara would pay a little on the heater; sometimes as much as 50 cents, more often no more than a dime. The bookkeeping on Mrs. Pa tera’s lay-away was more trouble than the sale was worth but busi ness was business and Sam was a businessman. January blew in bitter cold and wet. On a Monday morning Mrs. Patara paid 35 cents, leaving a balance of $1.65. As she started out into the cold drizzle, her black shawl pulled tight about her stooped shoulders, Sam’s heart softened. "Wait a minute, Mrs. Patara,” he called. * "Seeing it’s so cold, why don’t you just take the heat er on with you now, and pay me the rest when you can?” She smiled and thanked him but shook her head. She said she would ask her son for $2 on Saturday. Then she would take the heater. But she never came back. A week passed, then another. Almost three weeks later 4 young man came into the store one morn ing and said his name was,Paul Patara. He had come about the laid-away heater. "How is your mama?” asked Sam. "I been worried about her.” "She died,” said Paul. "We buried her the first of this week. Mister, 1 4 need that money bad. Hie money mama paid on the heater.” ’Refunds we don’t give,” said Sam. "Why don’t you pay the balance and take the heater. You can use some heat in that little north room where you had your mama, can’t you?” “Sure,” agreed Paul “We got a new baby in there. It was bom the night mama died. Now I got to pay the midwife and pay for the funeral and buy something to eat. I got to have that money, mister.” ’’All right,” said Sam, "you can take the heater and you don’t owe me nothing. I’m doing it be cause Mrs. Patara was such a sweet old lady. What did she die of?” The young man hung his head. ‘The doctor said pneumonia. But I don’t need the heater, mister. We can’t use it anyway. We ain’t got no gas pipes at our house.” Any Hour of the Day—It’s Good Listening on WKDK! 6:00 Hillbilly Harmony T:00 World News 7:05 Wake Up and Sing 7:25 Weather Forecast 7:30 Carolina News 7:35 World of Spdrts 7:40 Wake Up and Sing 8:00 World Newa 8:05 Wake Up and Sing 8:45 Morning Devotlona 8:55 S.
