It was at the Grand Union Station
in Greenwood; Sunday evening last.
The little Abbeville boy had gone
over with his mother to spend the
day with kindred and friends. They
were at the station waiting for the
$3.50 train going towards home. The
little Greenwood boy was bright
chap and had come to the depot all
alone. He was all stuffed up with
the city air, and the dust and smoke
and Snow and ice-of the great
metropolis, and was about to board
the same train waited for by the
other parties in order to get a
breathing spell in the rural retreats
about Haskell's, S. C.
They had not been in station
long before the boys had seen each
other. Each wanted to know who
the other was. At first they took
snappy glances at each other, and
then they looked longer. At last
the Greenwood boy licked out his
tongue at the Abbeville boy and
then the Abbeville boy licked out
his tongue at the Greenwood boy,
and then both looked away. After
a little the Greenwood boy edged a
little closer to the seat where the
Abbeville boy sat, and then the Alb
beville boy slipped away from his
mother towards the Greenwood boy.
At First they only looked at each
other and smiled. Then the Green
wood boy took out a new knife
which Santa Claus had brought him
and proudly opened it. Then the
Abbeville boy took out his Santa
Claus knife, and the Greenwood boy
looked at the Abbeville boys knife
and the Abbeville boy looked at the
Greenwood boys knife, and as il
moved by a single impulse they ex
changed knives as if to make &
closer inspection.
Then the Greenwood boy said tt
the Abbeville boy, "How will yor
swap" And the Abbeville boy said
81 can't, Mamma might whip me-
and they slipped up the seat further
away from the ears of older head.
