CORPORAL McNew laid his
— whiskers on the window sill.
It wasn’t, he thought, military duty
to play the role of Santa Claus at
the garrison Christmas party. He
couldn’t, however, disobey his com
manding officer. Nor did he want
to after hearing about that vacancy
for a corporal at the recruiting of
fice in Kansas City. McNew had
been born there, Marianne lived
there now and only yesterday he’d
heard that Marianne had been seen
with a fireman.
The colonel, though, had made his
role more difficult. “Er—” he’d
drummed on the table with his fin
gers, “—I want you especially to
convince my son. Make him be
lieve that Santa Claus is really
magic. My son is—er—fascinated
by anything in the electrical line.
He’s been—er—quite disturbing. I’ve
told him that Santa only gives pres
ents to good boys. If you can en
courage his belief, it’d help the regi
ment and—me.”
He’d have to be a perfect Santa
Claus, McNew thought. Sonny was
very skeptical.
“Hello.” Peeping in the window
he saw the object of his worries,

accompanied by the regimental
mascot—Henry, the goat. McNew
slipped into a closet. Too late, he
remembered his whiskers. The
goat, as the regiment had learned,
had an appetite. McNew’s fears
were confirmed when he emerged
I from the closet. The whiskers were
gone, and he heard Sonny giggling,
“I bet Santa Claus ain’t magic
enough to grow more whiskers. I
bet he ain’t magic at all. Dad
doesn’t know everything.
Say,
Henry, I wonder if Santa Claus can
see in the dark. I know how to turn
off the switch—”
McNew sighed. Soldiers were sup
posed to be ingenious. McNew re
membered some cotton fields nearby.
• • •
The band played a traditional
Christmas carol. Corporal McNew
stood beside a gaily decorated tree
and began to distribute gifts to the
children of the regiment. He called
out Sonny’s name. Then the lights
went out.
He took a step backwards as tiny
lights gleamed about his whiskers.
Fireflies must have made their
homes on the abandoned cotton he
had plucked. McNew stepped on a
package, stumbled and grabbed the
tree for support. He caught a
branch. Out of the darkness, he
heard Sonny’s voice: "Yes, Santa,
here I am."
"Here—” McNew tried to hand
the boy the package containing the
electric train. A firefly rested on
his whiskers. “Here, Santa Claus
carries his own lights, you know.”
“Is it magic?” asked Sonny. "And
you grew more whiskers—”
McNew stumbled again, reached
for support. The branch cracked
and broke. Falling, he caught Son
ny’s hand. "Here!”
The lights went on. Sonny fled
down the steps and McNew saw that
the colonel was comforting a weep
ing boy. A corporal who’d given the
colonel’s son a switch for a Christ
mas gift would never be recom
mended for a recruiting job in his
home town.
The annual event at last over,
McNew painfully removed the cot
ton from his chin. His suffering
was in vain.
The colonel wanted to see him.
McNew hurried. His chin was sore
and red, but he managed a salute.
"Yes, sir.”
"Did you ever act the part of
Santa Claus before?”
"No, sir.” McNew suppressed a
sigh.
“Um—maybe that explains the
fireflies and the switch.” There was
a curious note in the colonel’s voice.
McNew struggled to explain, but the
colonel interrupted: “I hear you
want that recruiting job in Kansas
City. Under the circumstances, I've
decided to recommend you. Sonny
wants to visit his grandmother there
and you can take care of him on
the journey. His grandmother thinks
that Sonny is a good boy. I expect
you to—er—continue to be resource
ful."
“Yes, sir.” But McNew sighed.
He wondered if snow could be used
to advantage by a resourceful sol
dier in charge of an equally in
genious boy.
