Rather smiled Dale. He closed
his eyes. His head ached, and he was
somehow very tired.
Within the hour he went to sleep,
and when he awoke 1t was daylight on
Christmas morning. Ben Littleford,
half dressed, was stirring the Goals
to life in the wide-mouthed stone fire
place. Dale felt better than he had
expected to feel; he greeted Little
ford with the compliments Of the sea-
son, arose and dressed himself.
Littleford had just gone with a
handful of kindling wood toward
the kitchen, when there was a low,
light tapping at the outside door OF
Bill Dale's room. Dale arose from
, his sheepskin-lined rocker before the
CHEEKY log fire, went to the door anc
opened it. Before him stood a slim
barefoot boy in the poorest Of rags
in the pitifully slender arms there Wa'
