ping possible, as usual, for all the
people here at home. Some will
never walk again, nor see again,
nor hear. Some have left hands,
arm, legs where they fought.
And now these men have one
simple reQuest-"Will some kind
lady please help me with my Christ
mas shopping?"

needed for this work at Percy

issuing similar calls. but since

shopping for soldiers.

FUTRELLE'S PHARMACY
Evening star., 1945-10-21

But the laugh died. The tension
mounted. Steve Basset sat gripping
the arm of his chair with one hand, a
soggy paper cup in the other, and
gazed helplessly at the people who
were trying so desperately to honor
him. His eyes were dark; there was
shadow instead of light in them.
my travels? Steve said. "Why -
my travels weren't so very interest
ing. They -" He stopped. His atten-
ton had been distracted by some
movement in the doorway Now
everyone turned to look. Old Joe, the
bootblack, was shutting forward across
the threshold He was carrying his
shoe box; his back was curved like
the shell of turtle, and his silver
tufted head, thrust forward, showed
his face slightly upturned and benign
as usual. ''Shine 'em up?" old Joe said,
in his soft sing song as he crept across
the room.
Swift horror gripped Pa Walbridge's
heart, and the others stood motion
less, helpless, as though hypnotized
bytheirresistible irony of the approach
ing crisis. For now old Joe was walk
ing straight toward Steve Basset, and
no one in that room could find a way
to stop him, though everyone saw
clearly the tragic embarrassment that
would occur unless Joe noticed Steve's

."Yes-a boss?" Joe said. Through
the open door came a steady hum of
conversation from the outer room,
where the staff was gathered happily
around Steve's desk But inside Pas
office there were only the two old men,
and Joe was down on his knees pre-
pairing to give Pa his daily shine.
Joe. when you came in here did
you know that Steve had lost leg?"
"Yes-a boss" Joe said.
"lHEN what made you ask him if
he wanted a shine? AS it turned out,
it was exactly the right thing to do.
But you didn't know it was the right
thing. did you. Joe?"

and papers that Pa Walbridge had

so utterly stranger to the rest of
them that they couldn't help but
stare at him. The brightly-colored
ribbons on his tunic fascinated them.
The purple one with the white end
stripes was easy to identify; but what
was the one with the red, white and
blue bands? Was that the Silver Star?

but that was strictly against the orders.
In HIS Office the boss himself finally
realized that every mind in the place
was stuck on dead center. Peering
through the door. he saw that Steve

prove to be an inspiration. ''Sit right
