THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

.£* & B BY F. L. ROWLEY F)R. GEORGE BAXTER stood the middle of the office looking at his wristwatch. His gaze swung to the gray haired man behind the desk, then back to the watch. And he had promised to spend Christmas Eve with his family this year. He had told Jean to expect him by eight-thirty. It was nearly nine now. The older man spoke into the telephone: “No, this is Dr. Hargrave. Must you have Dr. Baxter? What do you mean I’m too old to go out in a snowstorm like this? Yes, he’s here in the office. But I—” * “Who is it?” interrupted George Baxter. Dr. Hargrave covered the mouthpiece. “It’s Mrs. Donelly. Says I’m too old to visit her on a night like this.” “I’m sorry, George. Why did it have to be a patient who lives miles from town? But I AM afraid of driving at night—especially when it's snowing. I’ll handle any other calls that come in. You’ll still spend Christmas Eve with . your family.” Old Story “Sure I will,” said Dr. Baxter, trying to convince himself. But he’d heard that story before. a j ' to The door flew open and Dr. Baxter stared in surprise. Dr. Hargrave must have been reading his mind. “You’ll be home in time to help Jean trim the tree, "he said reassuringly. ...... Dr. George Baxter had driven over some rough roads, but he soon saw that he had his work cut out for him this evening. Snowdrifts lay like sand dunes before his headlights. It was iml possible to see the edge of the I highway. | He reduced his speed. After ten | minutes of ‘feeling’ his way along the edge of the road George knew that he’d never make the return trip tonight. It was snowing too hard. One more Christmas Eve lost to duty! The car began to vibrate; he was on the shoulder of the road! Then a huge trailer truck crawled past him. George swung the car in be- v hind the big truck.“tt was easie/ driving now with someone breaking a trail for him. Yet he marvelled at the truck driver’s nerve as they plowed along. What precious cargo could have forced the man to drive on a night like Uiis? K. Surprise Stop They were a good half-mile short of Mrs. Donelly’s side road when the truck stopped. The rear end of the big vehicle looked like a brick wall. Soon a man appeared in the drifts and waUowed toward Dr. Baxter’s car. George rolled down his window. “Buddy, do you know this road?” asked the truck driver. George smiled. “It isn’t that bad. When you top of the next hill you’ll see a double , row of trees. They lead right down Jto Mrs. Donelly’s place. That’s where I’m going. -Why don’t you {park there until the storm’s over?” ; “0. K. Wanta lead the way, Buddy? You seem to know this road.” George would have preferred to follow the truck. That half mile to the top of the hill was the longest he’d ever driven. At last he saw the trees, and with a sigh of relief turned into the side road. They were at the house a few minutes { later. ; George and the truck driver ; stomped across the porch together. h The door ' George Baxter stared in surprise. Jean and the children stood in the parlor behind Mrs. Donelly. “Merry Christmas!” they cried i in unison. “What is this?” 1 Jean came, over and took his '■ hand. “Mrs. Donelly called for ! you at home this afternoon, dear. Then I called Dr. Hargrave and we plotted the whole thing. He : said you should spent at least one Christmas Eve with your family —even if it is on a visit.” “And it might be a long visit. That snow out there is getting deeper every minute," said George.,
