npOMORROW was Christmas and
1 Tommy was worried. It hadn't
snowed at all, and it there was
no soow to shovel, how could he

/ .Tommy lived in the neat farm
cottage with his Uncle Pete and
Aunt Lucy. Aunt Lucy had just
told him he could go over and see
Jimmy Beeder but he sure to be
back 'by Ave o'clock. So Tommy
started walking slowly toward the
Reader (arm, as be had a lot of
thinking to do.
In the small sitting room Aunt
Lucy and Uncle Pete were talk
ing. Aunt Lucy Insisted that two
dollars was an awful lot to pay
for a dog. They were poor people
after all and could only afford
to give Tommy sensible things. -
Uncle Pete thought Tommy
should have the puppy he wanted.
He was- only seven, and needed a
playmate.
Tommy was walking along rftlll
slowly, trying not to think how
wonderful it would be if he could
have this little puppy. His name
was Blaze, and he was a runt;
that's why he cost only two dol
lars. Tommy thought bow the pup
would frolic along beside him and
wag his tail, and how they'd race
over the fields when spring was
here. But no use thinking about
Blaze. He had to get a Job.
It was when he was passing the
big house where Mr. Robert That

chet lived, that the Ides came.
Tommy went In and asked Mr.
Thatcher for a job. Mr. Thatcher
was said to b* a bad-tempered.
stingy old man, but Tommy wasn't
going to be afraid of him. He said.
"I need some Christmas money,
and I thought you might give me
? Job to do/' . * f
The old man ssked grumpily,
"What do you want for Christ'
mak?"
HU Xmas Wish
Tommy explained about the dog
and Mr. Thatcher said. "All right,
you can go to work in the orchard,
cleaning out under the trees."
Tommy found the rake and
other tools and went to work with
vim. A little before five, the Job
was done. Mfr. Thatcher took a
look at it. and said he'd earned
the two dollars. i
"Could you give it to me In
new shiny dollars?" Tommy asked.
The old man nodded. "Thought
you were going to buy a puppy?"
"Nope. Can't have the puppy.
Christmas is for giving."
The old man put two silver dol
lars in his hand. He said softly,
"Glad you reminded me, Tommy.
I'd almost forgotten."
Then it was Christmas. After
breakfast Tommy proudly laid a
shining silver dollar in Aunt Lucy's
hand and one in Uncle Pete's.
They were both so surprised for
a moment they didn't speak. Then
Aunt Lucy nodded at Uncle Pete.
He left the room and they heard
the chugging of the old Ford as
it went down, the lane.
"The dollar shines pretty, doesn't
it?" Tommy asked.
"It's beautiful. Tommy. Thank
you." Aunt Lucy's voice sounded
choked up.
The Real Thing
When Uncle Pete cam* back, he
give Tommy two packages, mit
tens from Aunt Lucy and shoes
from Uncle Pete. "Juat what I
needed," Tommy exclaimed and
gave them both a big hug. Uncle
Pete cleared his throat "Tommy,
your real present U oa the back
porch in a basket" *
1* was Blare, the puppy. Tommy
g?ve a cry of joy. fy ran back
to the sitting room, the puppy In
his arma.?"Oh. thank you. Uncle
Pete. Thank you. Aunt Lucy.
Thank you a million!"
But that wasn't alL An hour
later a ear stopped outside and
a chauffeur brought tp a big
basket of fruit and o mm filled to
the brim with wonderful things to
eat Even a tarkay. There waa a
note, which read:
"Christmas Is tor giving. 1 wish
you ell a very Happy Yuletide."
It was signed Robert Thatcher.
