Twas nineteen hundred years ago
A STAR in brightness, shed its glow:
1t led the wise their way
The shepherds heard the angels lay
The songs as sweet today when
They sang of Peace, Good Will to Men.
But man DEGREES that shall be
Methinks it tells of Satan's glee
AS proceed to MAIN and kill
Against the Heavenly Fathers will.
The still points the place
Where Christ was born, of David's race
The song of the angelic band
Continues ringing through the land.
The shepherds, and the magi three,
On Christmas night in Galilee
Were anxious that they see the One
And worship Him, Gods only Son.
God grant that men this Christmas time
Might see the star in light sublime
And hear the song the angels sang
AS Ger Judeas hills it rang
May love in hearts the battle stem
And nations turn to Bethlehem.

more than ten seconds before the Captain
is sent reeling back, stumbles over the curb
and falls and doesn't move.
So all the Moochers pile on Dan. It's one
against four unless you count The Killer,
And you needn't bother, because The Killer
just amt interested. He's sitting on the
sidewalk, droopyeyed and bored. After
three minutes Dan knows it won't be much
longer Four is couple too many. and un-
less something happens -
Then it does. The Captain gets to his feet.
He tries to walk, but his ankle has gone
bad and he almost falls again. Two of the
Moochers leave Dan to finish him off, but
the Captain keeps coming, even though he's
lame and walking with limp.
Dan finishes hayInaker and out of the
corner of his eye he gets quick look at
The Killer What he sees he can't believe,
That dogs not sitting any more - he's
standing up, stiff and straight, He's still
not interested in Dan - but he is in the
Captain. His eyes aren't droopy now
They're sending out sparks as he watches
the Captain limp forward to meet those
guys Comes the miracle then. The Killer
starts to growl
1t begins as low throaty growl, and it
rises and rises When it reaches its peak a
chill runs through Dan. It's the maddest,
fercest, fightingest sound that ever comes
out of man or dog. It's the Marines yell
and the Anzacs shout and a Sioux war
whoop all in one. 1t packs enough concen-
trated dog hate to freeze the blood in your
veins The Captains lame, you see, and
that makes everything different. So its
not miracle, after all It's just dog.
The Killer springs. He springs about
twelve feet, with the skin pulled back away
from his long white teeth and the hair on his
back standing straight up The two Mooch-
ers haven't got chance. They kick The
Killer and they wrestle with him, but he
takes all they've got and gives them back
lot more. Soon they run off screaming
! HE last two are easy for Dan He waits
till the second one falls at his feet and then
he turns. The Captain is at the Car calming
down the dame and The Killer is alongside
of him, licking his hand Nice work.

Dan stares down at The Killer for a long
time. Just the opposite, think, sir, he
says to the Captain. That's when it began
to look good - when you started to limp.
That's when The Killer came to life.
