HE overstuffed lady in the mink coat
{ waddled into the parlor of the County
d Guest Home bearing gifts. Putting. she
bumped an armload of Christmas packages on
b venerable divan and sank down beside them
IN glow of righteousness to await the arrival
Pf the Superintendent.
"Howdy. LADY,"
"Oh .. hello, Grandpa. didn't see you.
Fixing up the Christmas tree?"
'Tryin' to untangle these dang lights
"Oh. =. can help you while I'm waiting?"
Nope. Women amt no count fer job

ew presents for the children -"
"H'mph. Second hand?"
"Oh, no. Brand new"
All of 'em - store new!'
"Yes, indeed!'
''Hanh! How much wuth, LADY,"
frandpa. you mustn't ask questions like

Bout dollars wuth. F I'm the dime store,

. "A great deal more than dollars worth.
told you the exact amount - it it
ouldn't sound right -"
"Foosh. Name it, lady,"
The lady on the divan laughed again, this
fne not quite so tolerantly.
Christmas presents shouldn't be reckoned
dollars and cents Grandpa. There's too
UGH commercial spirit about it nowadays.
IN just doing my bit for those kiddies up
airs
This statement brought derisive snort
I'M the old gaffer. He sat in corner by the

That's too bad. 1t - it makes Christmas
sad for you, doesn't it,"
Nope, it DON'T"
"Oh, of course - you have all the children
here to be happy with. That's mighty fine
way to think of it, Grandpa. 1t really is ="
"Hanh! You talk like an idjit, lady,"
"Oh = l do?"
yep, you do. The only kid here wuth
shucks is Neddie. Wouldn't give chaw of
tobacker fer the rest of EN-"
How old is Neddie?"
Ten year, lady,"
And you like Neddie best, Grandpa?"
Dang it, l told ye wunst did!'
Mrs. Lindley arose, eyeing the old man in
some alarm.
Il think Mrs. Crunden is coming now >. .
I'll run along e. but III remember Neddie.
Grandpa. That the name Neddie. I'll see
that he has something especially NICE
Hold on! Don't you give Neddie nothin'"
For PHYS sake, Grandpa! Why?"
Il already fixed up Neddie's presunt."
"Oh, l see ="
''H'mph. You don't see nothin'. You think
give him some dime-store toy"
mo don't, Grandpa. Really. I'm sure it's
very nice gift -"
Evening star., 1939-12-24

"Hanh! Nice -" the old mans voice
quavered. Its better'n anything you got!
Better'n any cheap box presunt or the hull
passel of 'em put together
'Oh, I'm sure it is Grandpa. Now, you
mustn't get yourself all excited -"
Dang you -. ask me whut it is!'
why certainly :. I'd like to know -
what is it,"
Promise you won't give him nothin'?"
well, l.. yes, promise"
Il don't want Neddie spilled, y'see?"
''Yes, of course -"
Il want him to remember whut give him.
Jest whut give him. Understand that, lady?"
N1Rs. Lindley edged little toward the door.
peeking into the corridor to see if the Superin-
tendent was coming. But the fact that her
conversational partner continued to sit on the
orange crate gave her courage and her curl
osity was piqued.
Dear me-" she said, you've got me all
excited. What is Neddie's present. Grandpa?"
'Sun-up in the mornin'!''
"W-what?"
''Sun-up in the monin', you idjit! Them
SNOWFALL bushes an them poinsetshuh flowers
along the side fence. Them sparrer birds
friskin' around thet hoss dung on the drive
way. The sun at noon an them big white
clouds rolling like ships with crowded sail in
stiff wind -"
"Oh, see"
Evening star., 1939-12-24

'Ain't that enough fer Neddie? Amt it," he
queried.
why .. uh certainly -"
But thet amt all of Neddie's presunt He's
got sun-down of an evenin an the moonshine
an stars an the bright, purity lights on the
Avenue an them shiny ottermobiles whizzin'
past -"
'Oh, of course That's very nice, Grandpa.
A beautiful thought. Really it is. Now, l see
Mrs. Crunden coming -"
Hold on, dang it! You're lynn to me!''
Mrs. Lindley was shocked.
"Lying?"
ITS in your voice. Hanh!''
"Now. really . do you insult everyone
who comes to the Home? Is that the way to
show your gratitude?"
''You soft-voioed liar. You aim fer to give
Neddie one of them cheap store presunts an
make him fergit -"
But Mrs. Lindley walked out the door in a
huff.
She met Mrs. Crunden. the Superintendent
down the hall.
Really, Mrs. Crunden," she said, Il
hardly expected to be called an idiot and
liar to my face the first time visited your
institution!''
The Superintendent blinked.
why, who on earth -"
THAT impudept old man in the parlor. He's
made pet of little boy named Neddie and
doesn't want him to have any Christmas
presents s."
Something in Mrs. Crunden's eyes stopped
the angry visitor.
"Shhhhh said Mrs. Crunden That's
Uncle Ralph. He's blind -
Blind? Oh -"
And he given Nedde the most wonderful
present little boy could receive. You see,
Neddie has been blind from BIRTH Uncle
Ralph gave him the cornea from his one good
eye. We wouldn't have let him make the
sacrifice, but the doctors give him only few
more months to live -"
"Oh see," said Mrs. Lindley.
