rough spots on the skin, and the
spots that break open on slight
provocation from a scratch or a
little shaving accident.
These places have a tendency
not TO heal smoothly. Technically
they are known as keratoses.
Among many they are regarded
lightly - "just a scratch ! can't
get to heal" But, as I say, among
the experts-the doctors over fifty
they are shown a great deal Of
respect.

The church chimes are faint, but Dan can
still hear them. They're playing Come, All
Ye Faithful You swear you won't cross
me-" Dan says, IF l let you go alone?"
II swear won't cross you!' the kid cries.
IF you'll only let me see her!'
Dan looks at the kid. He has sort of nice
eyes. Besides, he's too scared to try get
away. Get out" Dan says. "I'll knock at
the door of the fourth floor rear in an hour"
The kid thanks him and runs up the steps.
At first Dan plans to wait in front in the
car, but then he thinks why shouldn't he run
over and see Kitty for bit? So he does. They
work on the tree and Dan doesn't mention
a word about his prisoner for an hour. Then
he lets it slip out, and Kitty pumps him.
In two minutes she has the whole story.
DO you mean to say you trusted him - a
took his word -"
''Oh, he's not like you think, Dan explains.
He's just scared kid"
But Kitty is already out in the hall get
ting into her coat. Come on!' she says.
Hell be gone, of course. But we'll 60 and
see, anyway"
They don't say word all the way back to
the rooming house, and they don't say word
as they climb the three fights of stairs side
by side. Dan stops in front of the fourth floor
rear and he grins at Kitty and gives her
now you Il n-see-I I'm-right" look. Then he
pounds on the door. "I'm back. kid, he yells
out. Come out and show yourself"

"Baby!" the kid sobs what are you talk
ing about baby for? Why can't you leave
me alone?"
They ride on some more without talking.
They are at the edge of town now The stores
are open for late shoppers, and the streets are
filled with people. Dan looks over at the
cringing kid beside him and beads of sweat
come out on the big guys forehead. Even
if the kid is wolf, it's Christmas Eve and
- and -
You wouldn't let me stop and see her first,
would you?" the kid pipes up all of a sudden
in thin weak voice.
Dan frowns. Your wife?" he says.
j HE kid mods. I'm never be out on bail,
and she amt been we'll. If had chance to
get someone to stay with her -"
You tried to make break back at the
house." Dan says. Il amt taking chances"
Il was 50 scared back there didn't know
what l was doing"
Il suppose you amt scared now?"
Yes, I'm scared" the kid says. But I
won't try to run away swear it,
ITS against regulations" snaps Dan.
But he is thinking hard. He thinks what if
he is an hour or 50 late getting back to Kitty?
He'll have plenty of time to be with her later
on. This kid isn't going to see his wife for a
long time. If he wants to say goodby to her
on Christmas Eve.
well, where do you live, kd?" Dan growls.
1t turns out the kid lives in cheap room-
ing house on the north side Dan parks in

But -"
I'm sorry about this, Downes," cuts in
MIR. Courtland Since you've admitted you
we're driving, there's nothing much | can
do He turns to Dan and says, That's the
trouble with hiring man you don't know
much about"
doing this, the kid Downes makes break
for it, and Dan has to chase him all the way
to the kitchen to nab him. So he slips the
bracelets on the kid and says, mo sense in
doing that. You're in enough trouble already"
He takes the kid out to the police car and
shoves him in. 1t is dark by this time, and
every house in sight is blazing with lights.
You can see whole families inside trimming
Christmas trees. Away off somewhere church
chimes are batting out Holy Night. The
sky is deep purple, and studded with million
stars. Dan drives slowly through the quiet
snowy streets, and there's lump in his throat
again.
He looks over at the hit -and-r run guy. The
poor kid is cringing off in the corner, his
locked hands in front of him blue with cold.
His face is awful white and he keeps biting
his lips. He is either too sullen or too scared
to talk, and Dan thinks he knows which it is.
Buck up kid" he says. you look like you
amt used to cops. We don't murder guys -
even guys like you. Anyway, not on Christ
mas Eve"
] oU leave me alone" whimpers the kid.
Il know what I'm doing
Sure you do, kid" says Dan. Maybe
they won't set the bail too high. The guy
you bopped amt going to die"
Il got twenty-eight cents in the world"
says this kid. "And l don't know soul in
town. can't raise ball."
His voice trails off, shakily, and the church
chimes in the distance switch to Little Town
of Bethlehem. Dan is gritting his teeth,
breathing hard. He blurts out, Il guess you
were afraid of losing your job. That's why
you didn't stop after the accident
Il don't want to talk!' says this kid.
Dan keeps at it. You wanted to collect
your wages from Mr.. Courtland and buy your
wife Christmas present, he says "Or may
be your best girl, or your mother, or"
Wife" the kid says. I've been married
a year."
