DELIVERY
BOY'S
XMAS
EVE
(Continued
from
Page
1)
Mr.
Peters
had
Just
returned
from
a
trip
and
wanted
hh
paper
started
again.
Mr.
Todd
wanted
the
bell
rung
when
the
paper
was
slipped
In
behind
the
storm
door.
Besides
the
wishes
of
the
customers
to
remember
Jack
had
a
few
of
his
own
observations
in
mind.
Welshes
had
a
dog
that
was
slightly
deaf,
If
aroused
suddenly
he
was
likely
to
test
his
teeth
In
the
first
object
in
sight
which
might
just
as
well
be
the
delivery
boy's
leg
as
any
other
thing.
Then
there
was
209
with
two
planks
missing
from
the
front
waik
and
408
where
the
children
always
left
their
wagons,
roller
skates,
tricyces
or
other
toys
scattered
on
the
door
step.
In
the
summer
such
hazards
were
easy
to
avoid
but
in
the
pitch
of
a
rain-laden
winter
evening
they
constituted
a
threat
to
Jack's
life
and
limbs
and
slowed
up
his
delivery.
But
Jack
Hied
his
route,
especially
at
Christmas.
There
were
tips
of
course,
but
best
of
all
he
liked
the
gaiety
and
Joy
people
displayed
when
they
greeted
him
with
A
Merry
Christmas.
On
this
night
of
niphts
most
of
his
customers
waited
for
him
and
as
he
left
after
each
exchange
of
greetings
he
seemed
to
carry
some
-of
the
happiness
with
him
to
the
next
household.
It
made
the
night
less
dark
and
the
route
less
long.
llF.
LOOKS
FOR
HOME,
TOO
As
Jack
dropped
his
last
paper
and
turned
towards
home
he
thought
about
the
welcome
he
would
receive,
and
appetizing
supper
that
would
be
waiting
for
him.
The
lights
would
b?
sparkling
and
glowing
on
the
big
spruce
In
the
front
room,
young
George
and
Jean
would
be
arranging
presents,
mother
would
be
smiling
and
kidding

she

happy.
Jack
wished
that
Christmas
could
nappe
every
day
of
the
year,
somehow
on
this
day
people
were
different,
happier
and
friendlier.
People
called
this
the
Christmas-spirit,
and
Jack
could
now
understand
why
adults
believed
In
Santa
Claus.
To
them
It
wn.s
not
Just
a
Jolly
old
man
In

red,
fur-trimmed
suit
who
handed

presents
or
climbed
