| so‘comforting, so understanding. j © hands clenched at his sides. SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1940 YESTERDAY: Tomi hears Al- len begin his defense of her, then hurries back to the farm. She is deeply distressed that no one has told her about the will contest, and doesn’t know whether or not to trust Allen. Later, Pierre comes to her, Chapter 17 Happy Birthday TOLD Bartell, Abe and Dotty and I that it was but fair you should hear everything. But he—one cannot talk to him. He knows everything!” “Pierre—” Tomi’s voice was husky—“what happened? Abou* the will, I mean. Did they—that is, did I lose?” “No, no, you could not lose against such stupidity. The jury went out, but only to turn around and come back in. And then, when the plea was dismissed, the fore- man went to the big puff-adder—” “The Major?” asked Tomi. “Yes, and he said: ‘The idea of a man like you trying to cheat a young girl out of her heritage.’” Tomi sat up. “What ever did the Major answer?” Phe gave ace short laugh. “I jought. perha| ie would burst, the way he swelled up, and then he r sir, you do not un- derstand, We Tolands are only at- tempting to save her heritage from that young raj ion who poses as a lawyer. Watch my word. He'll wrap her around his finger, cause her to lose the farm, and then he will-come into its possession.’ ” “Oh,” whimpered Tomi, and didn’t. know whether the sharp ng was for her regret that the jor was lying, or because Bar- telk might have “wrapped her around his finger” had he half tried. “And. the foreman said,” con- tinyed Pierre, “‘That poor child, she is between the devil and the deep blue sea.’” Pierre's arms were around her now, warm comforting arms. “That, cherie, gives me the heart to say a little of what I would say Ee after I have proven my- self” Tomi looked up, her eyes wide with wonder. “You need someone who has your interests at heart to advise you. Will you let me do that? To- day I can say only I love you. An- otherdayIwillsay more.” Tomi didn’t answer. She didn’t want to answer. She turned her head towards his shoulder and rested there a moment. Pierre was What more could life offer? She looked up as though to tion the gray clouds, and ere, on the bank above her, stood Allen Bartell, face white and grim, “The Sheik in action,” he spat, and wheeled away. Tomi jumped up. She stood, a slim scarlet figure, against the gray of the water, her dark head held proudly. Allen was not in sight when they Teached the kitchen yard. Mrs. Dougherty came running out of the house. “What are you doing in a Sun-suit with a storm blowing in?” she demanded. “I went to sleep in the sun,” Tomi defended. “But look at you; your robe is ‘wet and your sandals. Are you try- ing to catch pneumonia?” “Tomi started to answer and sneezed instead. “There, what did I tell you? Now get into a not tub while I fix a hot toddy. Abe!” the housekeep- er’s voice rang out angrily. “Abe, get into the house and draw a tub of hot water. No, you don’t have to bathe again today. It’s Tomi, she has a cold. Listen to her.” And, obligingly, Tomi sneezed again. She came in from her hot bath to find her bed warmed, a brisk fire joing in the tiny bedroom grate, a ot drink on the night table. “I knew something like this would happen if we left you alone,” scolded Dotty, thrusting Tomi's arms into a warm jacket. “Pierre just told me you ew about the contest. I told Al- Jen you'd find out. I don’t know what makes that boy so stupid. There are times,” she continued earnestly, “when I wish I'd left him stuck in the rain-barrel, head down as he was.” Cold Feet MI had to laugh a little. “What was he doing there?” she asked. “I never learned whether he was admiring his reflection or as to his own voice, but I paddl: the one end before I rescued the other.” Tomi snuggled down in the pil- lows. She was warm. This lovely room was still hers. It glowed with soft lights; lamps like pastel flow- ers; light touching the first splash of raindrops on the window- pane with amber.

There were books on ranaculture from Pierre, and a book of sonnets. Perfume from Dottie. The Morrises had re- membered the date with a box of her favorite chocolates; the office with books, candy and handker- chiefs. She unwrapped one Chicago peemaked package carefully. Ban abe took one lool “Oh, my—! it wool bed-slippers, then put her head down on them and wept. “Here, here, none of that,” stormed the housekeeper. “They’re not worth crying over.” “B-but, I-I'm c-crying because I'm happy,” sniffed Tomi. “No- body but Great-aunt Hannah could make anything as ugly. And she knows ... I always have cold feet in Chicago.” “You're in California now,” snapped Mrs. Dougherty. Tomi shook her head. “She thought of me,” she tried to ex- plain. “She...” Mrs. Dougherty sat down, heavi- ly. “Those Tolands,” she sighed, “they cut your throat with one hand and knit you sleepers with the other. They’re worth a cool million and they send you a pair of knitted things you could buy for ninety-eight cents” 3 Tomi waved her hands helpless- ly. One had to be a Poland to un- derstand. She could picture Gregt- aunt Hannah, wearing out her eye- sight—she refused to.wear glasses —over these slippers. There she would sit, straight-as a ramrod, fingers, needles and tongue, all fly- ing. Siti. the Major hadn’t been ly- ing. Maybe they thought they were saving her heritage by contesting the will which would give every- thing to Allen if she failed. She burrowed around in the box for a card. There it was in the very bottom, the handwriting stilted. “Hope you have sense enough to wear these, and remember, kero- sene and lard for your chest when you take cold. You’re given to colds.” Tomi giggled. Blessed Aunt Han- nah! These sleepers warmed her heart instead of her toes. ‘Tm going to get up now and celebrate,” she announced. Wonderful Husband “O% no you're not,” countered Dotty. “Your temperature is up a point. You'll celebrate in bed with a tray. “By the way—” she tried to ap- pear nonchalant—“there’s another gift downstairs. it was too heavy to carry up. It's a typewriter.” Tomi’s face lighted. How she had wanted a typewriter. P “F{ere’s the card that came on it,” offered Dotty. “It’s pretty, red and ivory—the machine, I mean.” Tomi took the gay birthday card. Across it was written: “To keep you in practice, Allen.’ At first she thought, how con- siderate, then her eyes narrowed. To keep her in practice. Then he thought she’d be looking for an- other stenographic job when the ; | frog season was over. “Til show him,” she promised herself, “and I'll use the typewriter to help me.” Tomi was allowed to look at the birthday cake. Huge, piled with butter-cream roses and well wishes. She was allowed to listen to Dotty repeat the menu. And then she was given a poached egg and a tall glass of hot milk. She didn’t mind her isolation, particularly. She wasn’t yet ready to face Pierre. She must think of him first, think of him now as a Prospective husband, not as a ranaculturist. For a moment she sat drowsily listening to the waves crash on the beach, the quick rush of a shower on the roof, the spiash of raindrops on the windowpane. e The storm outside made 4he comfort inside more vivid by ¢om- parison. The walls of this, pes rey if own room with the ’furnftare placed where she wanted it, were like the arms of those friends downstairs. Carefully she reached down to’ + slip the knitted sleepers over her toes. And now to Pierre. Pierre loved | her. That was a heart warming thought. Pierre was handsome, all of the girls in Allen’s crowd thought so. He wasn’t dashing and thrilling, but he was so sane and sure. That is what one needed in a lifetime partner, There are two kinds of love. she reasoned. One was the heady, reck- less kind that lifted you to the skies, then cast you down, broken. The other was a calm, growing emotion, based on companionship and mutual respect. It endured forever. Pierre would make a wonderful hysband for her. He seemed as pas- sionately fond of the farm as she was. Together they would make it thrive. “We'll turn it into a tigy farm like my grandmother had,” she whispered. “The kind of a farm Julie told me about, with chickens, a pig, a cow, vegetables:_. . of course, here we'll have fro; Pierre could look after the farm. and she'd look after the house.

Isaiah, in our lesson this wi pictures God as pleading his children to forsake their ful ways and to return unto loving care and guidance. While the human race is rather self-confident, satisfied that it can manage its affairs without in- terference or advice, experience should have taught that this con- fidence is not justified by the sults attained.
