T could get bet- ter farm help then than I can now, and the boys were always good to help with chores from the time they were wee shavers. But to go back to what I was saying. The boys always wanted me to tell them stories about that pic- ture up there.” Mrs. Loyd pointed to the one picture in the room, a goudi painting of a ship at sea. “I used to tell them what I saw in | | the picture when they were little; then, as they grew older, I used to_make up stories about it. Sometimes I'd try to tell them about all the different coun- | tries that old ship had visited and what the people looked like who lived in those countries. Of, course, I remem- bered some things from my school geog- raphy. It wasn't all fairy tale,” Mrs. didn’t have as many conveniences then as we have now. When the boys began to play the piano they were always looking for boat songs and things that suggested the ocean. If you'll look through those records you'll see a num- ber of songs like that. The love of the sea, I guess, was born in them, and I don't see why, because none of our folks have ever been sailors.” The joy of remembrance was gone and she was again facing the stunning reality that her last boy was gone from her. “Why.
