It’s the only job | she could manage.” “I see—” “After all, she’s kin to me,” Miss Lucy said. “And families ought to stick together.” “Of course.” Polly moved a stack of lunch checks, fumbled with some change. “It'll be nice ving a member of your family with you.” Miss Lucy said nothing more. She went on out to speak to Martha Polly finished adding up a col- umn of figures. She got her hat. But she didn’t go out of the tea- room at once. She leaned her elbows upon the top of the desk, and stared unseeingly at the op- posite wall. Out of a job again— How many times it had happened to her dur- ing the last few years! There were so few jobs for a girl ina town like Ardendale. And »yet.she. | couldn’t leave’ Aunt Susan, and fin vi hes, go off. somewhere ' else"? t work. Besides, there, was —David wanted to. marry But would they ever manage it? David had debts to pay up— he also had Peter. It wouldn’t ie right to saddle hinr:with a job- less wife, a girl who couldn’t con- | tribute something toward taking all | “Goodbye.” Then he | WaYS | been amusing, Like Polly, painted exciting word-pictures of | what the place could be made to | care of the expenses of running a household. David had all that he could do to keep things going, as it was. It wouldn’t be right to expect him to support not only her but also Aunt Susan. “Sometimes,” she said to her- self, as she walked to the door, “I think life’s just a mess.” Martha called to her. “You forgot your picnic stuff!” said. hank you, Mavtha,” Polly said. She took the package the negro woman was holding out to her. “We'll think of you while we're eating it—those two young men and myself.” Then she went slowly out to the street, Somehow she was no longer enthusiastic about having a_pic- nic. The thought of Miss Lucy giving the cashier’s job to her niece sickened her. She needed the job so badly—she and Aunt Susan, She walked out to the Jenkins cottage with heavy feet, and a much heavier heart... . About Swimming EF WAS several days after the picnic out at the Inn, and David was in the lumber yard. | He had a stack of invoices which were attached to a wooden cli sh | and was checking a shipment o: lumber that was to leave Arden- what) 1 do, | jb she | s | had dale that evening.

You do swim, don’t you?” «Sure,'T do,” David had replied. “And so does Polly. She’s a born | | swimmer.” | Peter had looked at Polly with new interest. “Gee,” he said, “do you?” “Yes,” said Polly, “I took to the, | water like a duck. David hel me to learn the better strokes when we used to have our Sun- | day School picnics down at the shore—excursions, you know.” “Do they still have them? Peter wanted to know. “Sometimes,” said Polly. “But David and I seldom go now.” Yo, thought David, there in the umber yard, we seldom go now. In fact, we seldom do anything for fun. Just work and plan and dream, Then he remembered that Polly had looked worried.
