-I.

-
-A railroad station in a large city is hardly an inviting spot, at its
-best; but at the close of a cheerless, blustering December day, when
-biting draughts of wind come scurrying in at every open door, filling
-the air with a gray compound of dust and fine snow; when passengers
-tramp up and down the long platform, waiting impatiently for their
-trains; when newsboys wander about with disconsolate, red faces, hands
-in pockets and bundles of unsold papers under their ragged and shivering
-arms; when, in general, human-kind presents itself as altogether a
-frozen, forlorn, discouraged, and hopeless race, condemned to be swept
-about on the nipping, dusty wind, like Francesca and her lover, at the
-rate of thirty miles an hour--then the station becomes positively
-unendurable.
-
-So thought Bob Estabrook as he paced to and fro in the Boston & Albany
-depot, traveling-bag in hand, on just such a night as I have described.
-Beside him, locomotives puffed and plunged and backed on the shining
-rails, as if they, too, felt compelled to trot up and down to keep
-themselves warm, and in even tolerably good humor.
-
-“Just my luck!” growled Bob with a misanthropic glare at a loud-voiced
-family who were passing; “Christmas coming, two jolly Brighton parties
-and an oratorio thrown up, and here am I, fired off to San Francisco. So
-much for being junior member of a law firm. Wonder what”--
-
-Here the ruffled current of his meditations ran plump against a rock,
-and as suddenly diverged from its former course. The rock was no less
-than a young person who at that moment approached with a gray-haired man
-and inquired the way to the ticket office.
-
-“Just beyond the waiting-room, on the right,” replied Bob, pointing to
-the office and lifting his hat courteously, in response to the lady’s
-question.
-
-He watched them with growing interest as they followed his directions
-and stood before the lighted window. The two silhouettes were decidedly
-out of the common. The voice, whose delicate tones still lingered
-pleasantly about Mr. Robert Estabrook’s fastidious ears, was an
-individual voice, as distinguishable from any other he remembered as was
-the owner’s bright face, the little fur collar beneath it, the
-daintily-gloved hands, and the pretty brown traveling suit.
-
-“Dignified old fellow!” mused Bob, irrelevantly, as the couple moved
-toward the train gates. “Probably her father. Perhaps--hallo! by
-George, they’re going on my car!”
-
-With which breath of summer in his winter of discontent the young man
-proceeded to finish his cigar, consult his watch, and, as the last
-warning bell rang, step upon the platform of the already moving Pullman.
-
-It must be admitted that as he entered he gave an expectant glance down
-the aisle of the car; but the sombre curtains hanging from ceiling to
-floor told no tales. Too sleepy to speculate and too learned in the
-marvelous acoustic properties of a sleeping-car to engage the porter in
-conversation on the subject, he found his berth, arranged himself for
-the night with the nonchalance of an old traveler, and, laying his head
-upon his vibrating atom of a pillow, was soon plunged into a dream at
-least fifty miles long.
-
-
-
-
-II.
-
-
-It was snowing, and snowing hard. Moreover, it had been snowing all
-night, and all the afternoon before. The wind rioted furiously over the
-broad Missouri plains, alternately building up huge castles of snow and
-throwing them down again like a fretful child; overtaking the belated
-teamster on his homeward journey, clutching him with its icy hand, and
-leaving him buried in a tomb spotless as the fairest marble; howling,
-shrieking, racing madly to and fro, never out of breath, always the same
-tireless, pitiless, awful power. Rocks, fields, sometimes even forests
-were blotted out of the landscape.
-
-A mere hyphen upon the broad white page lay the Western-bound
-train, held fast by the soft but firm hand. The fires in the
-locomotives--there were two of them--had been suffered to go out, the
-fuel in the tenders was exhausted, and the great creatures waited
-silently together, left alone in the storm, while the snow drifted
-higher and higher upon their patient backs.
-
-When Bob had waked that morning, to find the tempest more furious than
-ever, and the train stuck fast in a huge snowbank, his first thought was
-of dismay at the possible detention in the narrow limits of the Pullman,
-which seemed much colder than it had before; his next was to wonder how
-the change of fortune would affect Gertrude Raymond. Of course he had
-long ago become acquainted with the brown traveling suit and fur collar.
-Of course there had been numberless little services for him to perform
-for her and the old gentleman, who had indeed proved to be her father.
-Bob had already begun to dread the end of the journey. He had gone to
-his berth the night before wishing that San Francisco were ten days
-from Boston instead of six. Providence having taken him at his word and
-indicated that the journey would be of at least that duration, if not
-more, he was disposed, like no few of his fellow-mortals, to grumble.
-
-Once more he became misanthropic. “There’s Miss Raymond, now,” he
-growled to himself, knocking his head savagely against the upper berth
-in his attempt to look out through the frosty pane, “sitting over across
-the aisle day after day with her kid gloves and all that. Nice enough,
-of course,” recalling one or two spirited conversations where hours had
-slipped by like minutes, “but confoundedly useless like the rest of ’em.
-If she were like mother, now, there’d be no trouble. She’d take care of
-herself. But as it is, the whole car will be turned upside down for her
-to-day, for fear she’ll freeze or starve or spoil her complexion, or
-something.”
-
-Here Bob turned an extremely cold shoulder on the window, and having
-performed a sort of horizontal toilet, emerged from his berth, his hair
-on end, and his face expressive of utter defiance to the world in
-general and contempt of fashionable young ladies in particular.
-
-At that moment Miss Raymond appeared in the aisle, sweet and rosy as a
-June morning, her cheeks glowing and her eyes sparkling with fun.
-
-“Good-morning, Mr. Estabrook,” she said demurely, settling the fur
-collar about her neck.
-
-Bob endeavored to look dignified and was conscious of failure.
-
-“Good mo-morning,” he replied with some stiffness, and a shiver which
-took him by surprise. It was cold, jumping out of that warm berth.
-
-“I understand we must stay--but don’t let me detain you,” she added with
-a sly glance at his hair.
-
-Bob turned and marched off solemnly to the masculine end of the car,
-washed in ice-water, completed his toilet, and came back refreshed.
-Breakfast was formally served as usual, and then a council of war was
-held. Conductor, engineers, and brakemen being consulted, and
-inventories taken, it was found that while food was abundant, the stock
-of wood in the bins would not last till noon. There were twelve railroad
-men and thirty-five passengers on board, some twenty of the latter being
-emigrants in a second-class behind the two Pullmans.
-
-The little company gathered in the snow-bound car looked blankly at each
-other, some of them instinctively drawing their wraps more tightly about
-their shoulders, as if they already felt the approaching chill.
-
-It was miles to the nearest station in either direction. Above, below,
-on all sides, was the white blur of tumultuous, wind-lashed snow.
-
-The silence was broken pleasantly. Once more Bob felt the power of those
-clear, sweet tones.
-
-“The men must make up a party to hunt for wood,” she said. “While you’re
-gone we women will do what we can for those who are left.”
-
-The necessity for immediate action was evident, and without further
-words the council broke up, to obey her suggestion.
-
-A dozen men, looking like amateur Esquimaux, and floundering up to their
-armpits at the first step, started off through the drifts. One of the
-train-men who knew the line of the road thoroughly, was sure they must
-be near a certain clump of trees where plenty of wood could be obtained.
-Taking the precaution to move in single line, one of the engineers, a
-broad-shouldered six-footer, leading the way, and steering by compass,
-they were soon out of sight. As they struck off at right angles to the
-track, Bob thought he recognized a face pressed close to the pane and
-watching them anxiously; but he could not be sure.
-
-Two hours later the men appeared once more, some staggering under huge
-logs, some with axes, some with bundles of lighter boughs for kindling.
-In another five minutes smoke was going up cheerily from the whole line
-of cars, for the trees had proved to be less than a quarter of a mile
-distant and the supply would be plentiful before night.
-
-When Bob Estabrook stamped into his own car, hugging up a big armful of
-wood, he was a different looking fellow from the trim young lawyer who
-was wont to stand before the jury seats in the Boston Court House. He
-had on a pair of immense blue yarn mittens loaned by a kindly brakeman,
-his face was scratched with refractory twigs, his eyebrows were
-frosted, his moustache an icy caret.
-
-The average tramp might well have hesitated before acknowledging kinship
-with him.
-
-His eye roved through the length of the car as it had that first night
-in the depot. She was not there. He was as anxious as a boy for her
-praise.
-
-“Guess I’ll take it into the next car,” he said apologetically to the
-nearest passenger; “there’s more coming just behind.”
-
-She was not in the second Pullman. Of course she wasn’t in the baggage
-car. Was it possible--? He entered the third and last car, recoiling
-just a bit at the odor of crowded and unclean poverty which met him at
-the door.
-
-Sure enough, there she sat--his idle, fashionable type of
-inutility--with one frowzy child upon the seat beside her, two very
-rumpled-looking boys in front, and a baby with terracotta hair in her
-arms. Somehow, the baby’s hair against the fur collar didn’t look so
-badly as you would expect, either. She seemed to be singing it to sleep,
-and kept on with her soft crooning as she glanced up over the tangled
-red locks at snowy Bob and his armful of wood, with a look in her eyes
-that would have sent him cheerfully to Alaska for more, had there been
-need. A few seats off, I ought to say, her father was talking kindly and
-earnestly to a rough-looking man and his wife, the latter of whom wore
-the dear old gentleman’s cloak. Fathers and daughters are apt to be
-pretty much alike in these things, you see.
-
-
-
-
-III.
-
-
-With the cheerful heat of the fires, the kind offices of nearly all the
-well-dressed people to the poorer ones,--for they were not slow, these
-kid-gloved Pullman passengers, to follow Miss Raymond’s example,--the
-day wore on quietly and not unpleasantly toward its close. Then some one
-suddenly remembered that it was Christmas Eve.
-
-“Dear me!” cried Miss Raymond delightedly, reaching round the baby to
-clap her hands; “let’s have a Christmas party!”
-
-A few sighed and shook their heads as they thought of their own home
-firesides; one or two smiled indulgently on the small enthusiast;
-several chimed in at once. Conductor and baggage-master were consulted,
-and the spacious baggage car “specially engaged for the occasion,” the
-originator of the scheme triumphantly announced. Preparations commenced
-without delay. All the young people put their heads together in one
-corner, and many were the explosions of laughter as the programme grew.
-Trunks were visited by their owners and small articles abstracted
-therefrom to serve as gifts for the emigrants and train-men, to whose
-particular entertainment the evening was by common consent to be
-devoted.
-
-Just as the lamps were lighted in the train, our hero, who had
-disappeared early in the afternoon, returned, dragging after him a small
-stunted pine tree, which seemed to have strayed away from its native
-forests on purpose for the celebration. On being admitted to the grand
-hall, Bob further added to the decorations a few strings of a queer,
-mossy sort of evergreen. Hereupon a very young man with light eyebrows,
-who had hitherto been inconspicuous, suddenly appeared from the depths
-of a battered trunk, over the edge of which he had for some time been
-bent like a siphon, and with a beaming face produced a box of veritable
-tiny wax candles! He was “on the road,” he explained, for a large
-wholesale toyshop, and these were samples. He guessed he could make it
-all right with the firm.
-
-Of course the affair was a great success. I have no space to tell of the
-sheltered walk that Bob constructed of rugs from car to car; of the
-beautified interior of the old baggage car, draped with shawls and
-brightened with bits of ribbon; of the mute wonder of the poor
-emigrants, a number of whom had but just arrived from Germany, and could
-not speak a word of English; of their unbounded delight when the
-glistening tree was disclosed, and the cries of “Weihnachtsbaum!
-Weihnachtsbaum!” from their rumpled children, whose faces waked into a
-glow of blissful recollection at the sight. Ah! if you could have seen
-the pretty gifts, the brave little pine (which all the managers agreed
-couldn’t possibly have been used had it been an inch taller); the
-improvised tableaux, wherein Bob successively personated an
-organ-grinder, a pug dog, and Hamlet, amid thunders of applause from the
-brakemen and engineers! Then the passengers sang a simple Christmas
-carol, Miss Raymond leading with her pure soprano, and Bob chiming in
-like the diapason of an organ.
-
-Just as the last words died away a sudden hush came over the audience.
-Could it be an illusion, or did they hear the muffled but sweet notes of
-a church bell faintly sounding without? Tears came into the eyes of some
-of the roughest of the emigrants as they listened, and thought of a wee
-belfry somewhere in the Fatherland, where the Christmas bells were
-calling to prayers that night. The sound of the bells ceased, and the
-merriment went on, while the young man, with eyebrows lighter than ever,
-but with radiant face, let himself quietly into the car unnoticed. It
-had been his own thought to creep out into the storm, clear away the
-snow from the nearest locomotive bell, and ring it while the gayety was
-at its height.
-
-All this indeed there was, and more; but to Bob the joy and sweetness of
-the evening centred in one bright face. What mattered it if the wind
-roared and moaned about the lonely snow-drifted train, while he could
-look into those brown eyes and listen to that voice for whose every tone
-he was fast learning to watch?
-
-Well, the blockade was raised, and the long railroad trip finished at
-last. But two of its passengers, at least, have agreed to enter upon a
-still longer journey.
-
-
-
-
-IV.
-
-
-She says it all began when he came staggering in with his armful of wood
-and his blue mittens; and he? he doesn’t care at all when it began. He
-only realizes the joy that has come to him, and believes that after a
-certain day next May it will be Christmas for him all the year round.

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
