By Dorothy Boys Kilian THE TELEPHONE rang just as Chris Jackson had climbed up on the stool to put the silver star on the very tip-top of the fragrant green fur tree. "It's for you, Chris," Karen said a moment later. Some strange man." "They told me here at the drug store," a voice came to him over the wire, Vthat you might be able to fix up my car. Something's gone seriously wrong with the clutch, and my wife and I are on the way to Detroit for the holidays." "I'm sorry, Sir, but we don't have night service at my garage. We're all locked up for the night, and my assistant has gone out of town." "Can't you come down , your self?" the voice persisted. "Tell you what," Chris sug gested. "There's a train through here at 10:00, and it's only an hour's run to Detroit. Why don't you take it on in to the city and leave your car here. I'll get at it first thing the morning after Christmas, and you can get some one to drive you down for it then. ' "The hitch is," the stranger re plied, "that we've got a new bi cycle and a lot of other unwrapped gifts for our grandchildren crammed into the back seat. In fact, we're playing Santa, and we've simply got to get that stuff under their tree tonight." Chris glanced into the living room and saw Karen holding the star, confidently waiting for him to return to their trimming party He was about to say into the "Maybe someday you'll have a garage with all the latest and best," Mr. Baxter said. phone, "I simply can't make It," when a vision of those unknown children in Detroit crowded into his mind. When a little fellow is expecting to see a shiny new bi cycle under the tree . , . and then it isn't there A Finished Task An hour and a half later he straightened up beside the gleam ing black Cadillac, wiped his greasy hands on an old rag and said, "There you are, Mr. Baxter. You'll get that bicycle delivered in plenty of time now." "Yes, if I can pry my wife loose from your house," the portly gen tleman's eyes twinkled. "When I left there a few minutes ago, she and your Karen were In the midst of the coziest coffee" huddle you ever saw. It certainly was nice of you to send us up there to wait." "Oh, well,' it was too cold in this garage tonight to have you people stand around for a couple of hours," Chris said diffidently "Maybe some day you'll have a garage with all the latest and the best." Mr. Baxter smiled. "Like warm waiting rooms and 24 hour service." Chris sighed. "I'm just getting started, you know, and of course there's another older garage al ready established in the village.'" "I know there is." Mr. Baxter looked grim. "As a matter of fact, I called them first, and they wouldn't open up tonight for love nor money. The owner was having a party or something and just couldn't be bothered." "Well, you know how It Is," Chris murmered. A Good Return "I know how you are," the gen tleman said firmly. "And because of that I also know what I'm going to do. Here's my card" Chris looked at the white slip and let out a low whistle. "State Auto Club. Harold F. Baxter, 1st Vice President." "We've been wondering about the advisability of designating an official garage for the Club in this vicinity, now that the new road goes through here," Mr. Baxter went on. "And after tonight, I know we need one." Chris couldn't help gasping. "You mean?" "Yes, I mean you," Mr. Baxter said. "It's dependable people like you we want on our books. And I'm certainly going to recommend your company for the position." Chris grinned. "My company is just me and a part time assist ant right now, but with the ad vertising your outfit will give us, we'll really begin to grow up. I just can't tell you what this means to me " "Let's get back to the women," Mr. Baxter interrupted in friendly grulTness. "I'd like another cup of that coffee."
