~ tips startlingly black against their
. - snowy plumage. They made little
rookery. Benny held his breath and thought
they were the most beautiful things in all
creation.
A while later, as dusk deepened in the
swamp, litEle blue herons and the black
crowned night herons appeared, then lone
purple gallinule, and the egrets. To Benny,
the rookery was mystic world of wonder,
far removed from the squalid shacks and sor-
did creatures of his other existence.
That was why, tonight, his soul was sick.
Tonight the birds we're dying, and he was
helping to kill them. In his capacity of look
out, he was every bit as guilty as his father
and the other men who had set the snares.
Benny Cranston, bird killer! The thought
dazed him.
He shifted position in the Aat-bottomed
'glades boat, and prayed for the night to end
so that his shame might be forgotten. Then
he thought of that other thing What if the
warden should come? Could he obey his
father orders? IF you see Long Tom Davis"
his father had said, fixing him with black
stare, you shoot first and holler afterwards
We don't aim to spend the next ten years in

Shoot first. Shoot Long Tom Davis. who
so often had put a fatherly arm around
Benny's shoulders and said with warming
smile, why sure you can learn to be war
den. son. You've already got what it takes.
You love the swamp and the wild things in it,
and you're friends with the Seminoles. All
you need is aging"
Shoot Mr.. Davis? Dear God, no! But if
the warden came, and Benny failed, the black

But there was no welcoming halloo from the
pine island as he poled the boat toward it.
His light picked out the patched canvas walls
of the tent, and threw into relief the slash
pines and cabbage palms among which the
shelter was pitched. He hauled the boat up
and threw back the tent flaps.
Ills breathing became noisy. Weak with
fear, he dropped to his knees beside sprawled,
still shape inside. "Mr. Davis!" he whispered
"Mr. Davis, you amt you're not -
Dead" was the word, but his lips would
not shape it. Long Tom Davis was alive,
anyway. His chest rose and fell, and his heart
beat beneath his khaki shirt, despite the bull
let wound under his shoulder.
Benny knew what had happened. The war
den had come to investigate, just as his father
had feared. Mr.. Davis had seen the light on
the pine island, had put ashore, and had been
shot down by the man left by Benny's father
to guard camp. But where was the man
now?
Gone to get Pa and Left Holly" Benny
thought. They'll come back here and kill
Mr.. Davis! They'll sink him in the swampv

could say would change it. They wouldn't

would fill them with dowries After
a time, ST. Nick and the stocking
hanging custom was incorporated
into the celebration of Christmas.
Another legend says that on
Christmas eve the spirit of ST. Mich
olas rode across the land on great
white horse followed by the hosts
of innocents slain in Bethlehem by
the order of Herod. Children of the
Northland filled their wooden shoes
with oats for the Saints horse and
set them outside of the door; in the
morning, providing the children had
been good, the oats were gone and
the shoes were filled with nuts and
apples.
Eventually. the boys and younger
children, the wives and husbands,
and even the grandparents, decided
the girls were getting too much the
best of things; so, they all joined
the International Society of Stock
ing-hangers.
