On the wall his calendar registers December the twenty-fourth and it occurs to him that another day will bring Christmas. Looking back, he recalls scenes of years ago, of his mother and his elder brother, who early choose a career of crime. Twenty miles away the desperado breaks from jail, and with a sheriff's posse at his heels, takes to the hills. Late that afternoon the desperado arrives at Fred's cabin, exhausted, he comes in and a minute after flopping down on the bunk, is asleep. Fred returns, sees the form of the sleeping man and decides not to awaken him. But an idea occurs to him, and this he proceeds to carry out. Morning comes, and the desperado awakens. He sees Fred sleeping, and for a second he is tempted to kill him, fearing that he may attempt to capture him and turn him over to the posse. But the vision of his mother stops him, and as he lowers his hands he feels something on the table. It is a small package labeled, "Merry Christmas, stranger." Fred wakes up, and as the two men stare at each other the realization comes that they are brothers. The posse arrive, but Fred tells them that he has seen nothing of the wanted man. Twilight comes, and the older brother departs. Fred sits down before the open fireplace, contentedly smoking, for he knows that the border line is but a few miles away, yet he had no way of knowing that a chance shot from the sheriff had struck his brother, and that when the sun set that day his dead brother was lying in a wild spot in Lonesome Gulch.
