A Sign in the Sky Was A Christmas Time Cross 44AX TELL. Ratty, well be \A/ handing ourselves a v v grand present by this time tomorrow.” “Yah, I don’t hanker after the job. Somebody in this home-town of mine might get wise to me.” "Scared? You been away ten years doing time. You’re out now, and free. No one ain’t going to see you. You can lift plenty from that house you been telling about. You know every inch of it. by your say." "Sure I do. I lived in it for nearly twenty years." The man beside him in the speeding car whistled. "Never knew that.” "You keep your trap shut, Slinky.” Clouds swept across the moon, i now revealing it round and bright, now hiding it. ■‘Stormy,’’ said Slinky, "all the better for us.” They entered a broad village street. Elms lined either side. "Right pretty, ain’t it?” snarled Slinky. "But too neighborly for my blood.” "Hey,” cried Ratty stopping the car. "Look at the moon shining up there behind the church steeple!” A cross of light streamed from four corners. "Nothing but moondogs.” "Shut up, you. I'm telling you something. I'm not robbing the house I was born in. I'm tough . . . but not that tough.” "You crawling dirty rat!” "And I'm going to church on Christmas morning like I used to with my, my,” he hesitated, "with my folks. We got decent clothes.; I'm going. That there,” he pointed at the streaming light, "well, for just a minute I felt like I used to feel when I lived here as a boy. I’m going, and so are you. We can say Merry Christmas then, for once, ' without faking it. That cross,” his voice was husky, "shows me up for just what lam ... a rat. You and me. Slinky, are going to be decent tomorrow.” — Martha Banning Thomas. © Western Newspaper Union. Through the Clouds and in Time for Christmas THE plane, "The Betsy Lee,” had climbed to 10.000 feet. The man at the controls peered through the misted glass at the dense bank of clouds ahead. He had already encountered one squall, and there was a coating of ice on the wings. • Should he turn back, and take the train that would get him home too late for Christmas? Then he thought how disappointed Lucy and the kids would be. Christmas without Daddy. He squared his jaw and muttered: "Bill Parker, you're no quitter; Betsy, we are going through!" He grasped the stick with a steady hand as the bank of clouds loomed closer, and plunged into them. The wind tore at the plane, causing it to zigzag crazily and it took all the strength of Bill's iron muscles to prevent a tailspin. Rain and hail fell in torrents, with an occasional flash of lightning piercing the inky darkness. “What a storm to fight!” If he could climb high enough he might j get above it. The roar of the engine answered, as he opened up the throttle, and the plane began to climb. Twenty thousand feet, the instruments registered. The storm was still with him. Five thousand : more-—he felt dizzy and numb. Then a lull as the plane reared into a calm, ‘moon-silvered night Bill pounded his numb hands. . "We're going through, Betsy, old girl, but it was close to ‘Another plane crashed' headline. We missed the front page but we’ll soon be home.” —Jocile Webb Pearson. © Western Newspaper Union. NO CHRISTMAS COAT Ei • A I Snake —Mrs. Bunny asked her husband for a new coat for Christmas. Leopard—What did he say? Snake—That she had no business shedding her old one. f,OOO-Year-Old Play Hampshire mummers still per- . form a play which is said to be 1,000 years old and for which there is no written script. The mummers are farm laborers who wear cos- I tumes made of colored wallpaper. They give the play at Christmas tune.—Pearson’s London Weekly. Christmas Cheer • "What some folks call Christmas chest,” said Uncle Eben, "is only an expensive form of uuffin but condensed trouble.”
