She arose, built a fire on the hearth, heated milk for a warm drink, then called him in. He responded to her request that he sit down before the fire and drink the hot milk, allowed her to sit be- side him. But he said nothing, just stared into the fire. “Lon,” she began, at length, “if you don’t tell me what is worrying you, 'm.. thing desperate.” “What do you do whea you're des- perate?” he asked her, and watched intently as she answered. “Things,” she replied. “Lon, why don’t you quit McSwain? Conditions are so much better and you can find work elsewhere, and even if you can't we've a nice bit of money be- hind us now. I'll be s0 economical you won't know me. Lon, won't you?” “Quit McSwain?” he repeated, and then he gave a short, bitter laugh. A little later he asked her to go back to bed, promised he would keep the hearth fire burning, even went out and brought in a few logs to con- vince her. She went to bed but she couldn't sleep. She lay listening to the whimper of the wind under the tiling of the roof, the occasional rush of rair on the window pane, and the rare sound of someone moving in the next room. At dawn she went in to find Lon on the divan asleep, the fire burned to grey ashes. She covered him with an Indian blanket, then built up the fire and sat down to enjoy the warmth, and as she sat there she studied her husband's face as if hz | were @ stranger. The man lying there was a strap- ger, compared with the one she had married. The pleasant lines of an as- sured future had been erased to give place to ones of care. The soft boy- ish line of the chin was gone and the face, lean now since his brief illness, showed a surprisingly strong chin. Lon was certainly being disci plined. Would he learn whatever les- son there was to be learned? (Copyright, 1934, by Jeanne Bowman) Lon makes a curious request, to- morrow.
