Helping mo ther with the dishes that night was almost lun. Harley thuught; she was so friendly and nice. Then it happened. “Harley,” his mother said ten derly, "Don't tell me what you bought unless you want to, but what did you get for Charlene?” Harley was stunned. He wished she wouldn t smile at him— couldn't she see he was trying to think? “Nothing, mom." he stam mt: -id. T bought a gondola car.*’. Harley was stunned. He wished she wouldn't smile at him. "I guess I spent all my mon ey; I guess I sort of forgot about Christmas presents," Harley hung his head. "Yes, 1 guess you did." she an swered and that was all she said about it. but he felt terrible. He didn't even unwrap his new car. Gee, he’d really pulled a dumb trick this time, Hailey thought miserably. He’d always bought them presents, but he’d complete ly forgotten it. Well, he’d have to earn some money; even his piggy bank was empty. He earned a quarter the next morning shovel ing snow, but he had to take care of Charlene most of the time. He tried to get a job the next day, with no luck, and when he found a dime in the snow Char lene grabbed it, yelling "Fenders keepers ... ” He was so furious, he felt like choking her. Instead he made her a big snow house on the sidewalk, right in everybody’s] way, but people didn't seem to mind. Then the apartment lady with her little girls stopped to ad mire it. "How old are you, Harley'’'' she asked. Tittle girls this a"i tei ndoii. Hailey slarted to tell her gosh no, but she interrupted, saying she'd pay him 25 cents an hour. Harley was so surprised he lean ed against the snow house, knock ing part of it down. "Why sure, I’d be glad to,' he said. Harley worked hard that after noon, di.ing everything three little girls could think of and he could build. Once in a while the lady would wave to him from the apartment window, but he was usually too busy to look up. She paid him a whole dollar and asked if he would take care of the child ren again the next day. Harley, tired as he was, managed to say "Yes." His mother teased him about being a baby sitter, and was he going to charge hei for taking rare of Charlene? Harley didn't mind; after all he had a cash cap ital of $1.25. Although it rained the follow ing day, Harley earned another dollar taking care of the little girls in the apartment. That afternoon, with his mo ther's blessing, he went Christmas shopping. He felt proud to pay for the presents with money he hud earned. He had the packages gift wrapped arid put them under the Bear Grass And Jamesville Split ■—«— No official report on the games was received by this office, but it was reported bv spectators that the basketball teams of Jamesville and Bear Grass divided a twin hill at Jamesville last Thursday evening.

Christmas morning the floor was littered with gay papers, children’s toys and Harley’s elec tric train. He opened the box and put the gondola on the track. It looked keen.
