hop( ful sm'ile as he entered. He just
shov k his head.
•'No mail at all?” she said as she
went on fixing dinner.
"Oh, there were a couple of ads
and a bill from the seed company.”
He hung hi^^Jiat on a hook and
crossed to tli? pump. His white
hair was damp around his face w^n
•he straightened up again.
“It’s just not like Bill,” she sighed.
“Bill’s got an unforgivin’ streak,
always did l^ve, even when he was
a little feller.” Pa's ol^ briar gave
off a pungent odor as he lit it.
"But this is different,'■ Tqm,” she'
said, putting a pan of biscuits in
the oven, ’’tomorrow is Christmas|'

hopin’. Christmas or no Christmas
. . . that boy is still mad."
The old lady's eyes shone with
faith. "He might stay mad all
year long but when Christmas comes
. . . he’ll write. I know, I’m. his
Ma.’’
"Don’t forget,” Tom said as he
blew smoke at the ceiling^ His
eyes crinkled at the corners, "I’m
his father.”
“Dinner’s ready, Pa,’’ she said,
filled with a deep longing and fought
to keep the tears out of her voice.
“I c’n understand that boy still
bein’ mad at me, but why does he
h^ve to take it out on you?”
“You’re wrong, Tom,” Ma replied
as she lifted her head and smiled.
"The day after Christmas, first de
livery, we’ll get a letter. You’ll
see.”
"Not from him,” he shook his
head grihily.
'“You’re forgettin’ Judy,” she re
minded him as they sat down. "She’s
a good daughter-in-law.”
“Oh, I’lii not blamin’ her,” reply
ing as he covered his biscuit^ with
gravy, "Judy’s a fine girl. It’s hjs
bull headed pride.”
She got up and taking the coffee
pot off the cook stove filled his cup.
They ate on in silence. Finally he
pushed his plate back.
"You aren’t eatin' much,” he
scolded.
"I’m just not hungry. Pa.”
“I see,” he stood up. “I’m goin’
out and turn the heater on in the
hen house. It’ll be cold tonight”
His old shoulders slumped forward
as he went Outside. She shook her
head and started picking up the
dishes. Hen mind sank back into
the past To the days when Christ
mas was alive with the excitement
and laughter of young voices. She
could see Pa striding ihto the liv
ing room bearing a large evergreen
on his shoulder. Behind him there
was always a highly excited little
boy, bearing an axe. She wondered
If the little boy ever thought of it."

smiled as he kicked his toe against
the threshold. It’s a wonder, she
thought, that there’s any threshold
left after all these years. He came
Into the kitchen, dumping an arm
load of kindling ip the box behind
the range.
"Snowin’. Pa?”
He shook his head and took off
his wraps, replying, "Stopped.”
She hung the dish towels up to
dry. He pulled a rocker In from the
living room and sat down.
"Everything all right in the
bam?" Ma asked as she threw a
few lumps of coal in the
"Sure,”' Pa said. A sad smile
crossed his Ups, "What’s the use
pretendin’, Ma? We’re both feelin*
blue."
She sat down at the old kitchen ta

"G^a bake me a pie?” he asked.

instantly the ground was carpeted
with gliUering , white Christmas
