It was addressed to me in an unfamiliar hand Opening it, found a insurance policy with me as the beneficiary. The name of the policy holder? Fred A. Miller! I showed it to Doc. Yeah." he said, Fred died last night Natural causes, yet he could have lived a lot longer. Only eventually he would become on invalid, trd his son would want to take care of him On the other hand, he could duck out now and leave the lad something I guess he chose to have the boy remember him as something other than a sick old mpn I could see the picture. But you Just don't know what to say In such cases So I guess I sounded a little irrelevant when I said, Cars have gone up. Doc. This two thousand won't cover it now." Doc looked as though he were disappointed in me. He pulled out his check book and picked up a pen. Well. I want that boy to have that car. Martin. How much is the . Hybrid! Stranger What is the standing of the Spcndmore family m this c difference? Put that stuff back. Doc," I said, you don't have a corner on soft hearts and softer heads. He grinned then. I want to share it, at least. After old Fred had been decently tucked away and it was amazing how many friends the old boy had I called the kid over to the garage. Doc and I led him to the car. "Here's something Fred wanted you to have, I told him. His eyes were so full he could hardly find the door handle. "And here's another thing he told us to give you. He took the slip of paper I handed him, and I was glad he couldn't read it right then. He only nodded; he couldn't talk, although twice he tried. He put the car la gear and backed out. Doc and I stood on the sidewalk to watch him drive down the street About a block away, he pulled over to the curb and stopped. My guess was that he couldn't see through the tears that must have been tumbling down his cheeks. After all, he was only a kid. I shoved my hands into my pockets and looked at my feet not talking. For a minute, Doc didn't say anything, either. Then: "What was that you gave him? My tone was defensive. Hadn't Doc treated Fred for nothing? "You really didn't think I could keep that policy, did you? Docs voice was sort of soft and stiange when he finally answered "Fred sure knew a sucker when he saw one didnt he? He turned and started off. Now I'm going down to the office and see if modern medicine provides anything for a lump in the throat "Heres something Fred wanted yon to have," I told him.

Then one day he brought the hoy In He was lots taller than the old man. already, and devoted to him From then on until th boy went back to the coast, they were in the garage at least once each day, poring over pictuies of the new auto, qu stiomng my mechanics, and discussing It between themselves Even after the boy had gone bark to the coast, Fred would come in and pick up any naw literature might hava on the car. I knew what he'd do with it, too; make notes In the margins, writa letters about the auto, and send them all on to that boy. Time went along. The wife and my boys went off on a vacation I never liked going home to ni empty house, so I would put it off to the last minute, and hang around the club till bedtime.
