With Goodies. was hip hao
Of black walnuts and hickory nuts and
whole baked fish that the captain
had cooked himself, for he could cook
| anything in the way of sea food that
would make you hungry even if you
were not very fond of fish.
And when that basket was ready
Captain Hobby opened the big gift bas-
ket and looked at all the things once
more.
There was a new dress for Hetty. a
pipe and a big jar of tobacco for Mr..
Robbins; there was a whole set of little
books for Freda, who was eight years
old, with a box of soldiers for Jack.
! who was six. And, besides, there was
cunning little gray kitten for both the
children.
The storm increased rapidly and no
one came, so Captain Hobby gave up
| entirely all thought Of any one coming
after him. So he sighed very sadly and
thought that he would have to go up
TO the store and buy some coffee and
condensed milk and perhaps something
all alone. 1t was twilight when he
went out into the storm all wrapped up
In his big blue coat with his fur cap
pulled down over his ears. He looked
toward the lighthouse, and he could see
dim red glow through the thickly
falling snow. 1t was the lighthouse
sending out its warning to all ships
that might be out that snowy, stormy
night.
captain Hobby breathed sigh of
disappointment. at the lost Christmas
pleasures and then trudged up the road
to the store. He made his purchases
and exchanged Christmas greetings
with many old friends. He called for
his mail. and finally, with all his bun
dies in his arms, he went back to his
lonely cottage.
But was it lonely?
At first Captain Hobby thought il
was on fire. But it proved that every
room was lighted and there was fire
in the sitting room stove. And when
he pushed the door open he dropped his
bundles on the table and opened his
arms wide, for there were little Freda
and Jack ready to jump into them.
Then their mother came out of the sit
ting room TO kiss her father. and last
Of all their father came, his arms full
OF baskets and bundles. He had been
putting his boat into Captain Hobby's
boathouse.
Merry Christmas. grandpa they all
cried.
Merry Christmas, everybody he
roared, with surprise. Where did You
all come FROM"
We came from the island" explain
ed Mr.. Robbins. Il had two davs'
leave of absence. and the man came to
relieve me this morning. We decided
to spend Christmas with you this year,
and Hetty has brought all her Christ
mas dinner along too"
