In less than an hour, now, he'd be home.
The truck driver was silent, frowning. and
Vic's song ended in a sudden chuckle. He
knew what the driver was thinking. She
know you're coming" The question implied
a lot more than its actual words. Vic felt like
reaching over and patting his shoulder, re-
assuring him. No one knew better than Vic
Jones that there were lot of men who'd
fare better if they warned their wives of their
arrival in advance.
He'd seen plenty of them, in the Pacific,
worrying over their mail - when it didn't
come and when it did.
He'd watched them read letters from those
friendly little birds who feel they ought to
tell guy three thousand miles away all the
local gossip, true and false. The best friend
he'd made out there - and there was some
thing about those slices of volcanic sand that
cemented friendship - Bill Mccarthy, had
worried himself sick about his girl. With
reason, as it turned out, since she'd married
a civilian before Mac stopped some mortar
fire on the beach at Two and got sent home.
But girl was different from wife, he'd ex-
planned to Mac He ought to know. He and
Patsy had been married for seven years.
The truck drivers frown seemed to leap
and settle itself between Vic's blond brows.
Wasn't there some gag about the seventh
year being the critical one? The hell with it,
thought Vic, and the frown flew away like
fly before fly swatter. Seven was lucky
number in anybody's game; and besides, sub

Vic looked out fondly at the main stem of
Acropols, New York. where he had been born.
right herew he said And thanks, brother,
and Merry Christmas!'
Red and green lights were strung in fes-
toons across the wide street. Illuminated
Christmas trees stood at every corner. Holly,
pine boughs - everything was the way he'd
remembered it, In half an hour he'd be wear
ing pair of gray pants and a sweatshirt -
and a pint sized wife in his buttonbole.
Ryder's Department Store blazed with
lights, and Vic pushed through the door.
He had good number of presents for Patsy
and the kid in his heavy bag but he had
good number of negotiable American bills
in his pocket Easy come, easy go, he told
himself, and strode to the perfume counter.
Were closing in five minutes" the clerk
said, without looking at him. Then she looked,
and smiled 'Oh, well. Dyou know what
kind she likes?"
lHERE we're still toys on the center counter.
A foorwalker closed the doors and pulled
down the shades. Exhausted salesgirls crum-
pied where they stood, yawning and stretch
ing, pale with fatigue. The stores Santa Claus
leaned against pillar and lighted ciga-
rette with complete disregard for his whiskers
and the fire regulations. I'm not going to
hold another kddie on my knee for at least
five years" he announced to the world at
large.
Vic Tinned Il haven't held mine for two"
he said, but it won't be long now
The girl who was waiting on him smiled.
How are you planning to carry all this,
soldier? You couldn't get taxi right now for
love or money
"I'll watt it on the wings of love-" Vic told
her.
The Santa Claus was listening. I've got
an idea," he said 'Ryder's isn't going to
miss this sack" He unfastened the long can
vas bag from his shoulder Take it,
Vic's eyes opened wide and then narrowed
in sudden laughter. I've got better idea!'
he said Give me the whole works. III buy
the outfit, or rent it, or whatever anybody
likes"
The salesgirl suddenly looked fresh and
rested and young. That's enter' she declared.
Gosh, won't your wife and kid be thrilled!
Wait - III get Mr.. Ryder" She ran off, like
child running through the grass in the early
morning.
FIFTEEN minutes later, a Santa Claus, beard
ed and capped. with bulging bag pulling
down one shoulder. emerged on the main
street of Acropolis. He walked two blocks OF
icy pavement and then turned into side
street. The sack was brutally heavy, but Vic
was not aware of its weight. He'd had no
sleep for three days, but he wasn't thinking
about that either.
The snow had stopped falling and the wind

"A VOLTS a wolf, even in

VIC JONES sang louder and louder as the
Y landscape began to- be familiar even in
the fading light. The truck roared and
crashed along the ice-rutted highway; snow
caked on the windshield and clogged the
wiper. At the edge of the long frozen lake, the
willow trees were hung with glistening stalac-
tites that reminded Vic of newsreels he had
seen of fishing boats from the north with
their rigging iced. A head wind sent more
snow flying past them, and Vic paused in his
song to remark to the driver, Before l went
to the Pacific, l never realized how much
colder it got in New York State
Pretty hot out there?" the driver asked.
Hotter for some than for Others" said
Vic, rather smugly.
He returned to his song and for an instant
the drivers eyes left the white fury framed
in the arc-shaped visibility of the windshield
to look at Vic and smile.
People usually smiled at Vic Jones. Must
be have funny face" he'd told Patsy, his
wife, once. Might be everybody likes you,
she had answered. There was some truth in
both statements. Vic was not unhandsome,
but the combination of turned-up nose with

During the last two months we have not

meet this need, but we are helpless without
