Roy Gotto — JFANNE O’BOURKE, her black eyes resentful and _ sullen, watched her mother move tiredlv round the kitchen, stacking the dishes in the cabinet. “Tl do that, Ma, in a minute.” The old lady grunted and said: “Always you say that after I’ve finished the job. Any other girl would help her mother wash the dishes— But all you ever think about is boys.” She paused. “Now for why are you puttin’ your hair up like that. “Why don’t you go to bed, Ma, and leave me hair alone. I'll do it any way I please.” A sly smile creased her lips. “It makes me look five years older. That's what they all say, anyway.” “That's what all who say?” “All the fellers.” Mrs. O’Bourke swished her dry- ing cloth in dismay. B “One of these days, lassie, you're goin’ to land in a heap of trouble.” “Oh, go to bed. I know what I'm doin’, Ma. Brush my hair up at the back, please.” Mrs. O’Bourke sighed and caught the flung hairbrush. “That’s no way_to hand your mother the brush, Jeannie. You're the worst mannered girl I ever seen.” ie “Manners ain’t everything, Ma. See if you can get all them straggly bits into place. “Your mother had hair like this when she was sixteen,” the ol woman murmured as she deftly wielded the brush. “Look at it now. An’ you know who made it like that. Don’t you?” “Now, you’re not blamin’ me because your hair’s grey, Ma. Maybe Pop had something to do with that.” Mrs. O’Bourke rapped the girl's head smartly with the back of the hairbrush. “You leave your Pop out of it!” The girl bridled. “T’ve heard you say worse things than that ‘bout Pop.” “Tm privileged. You ain't. There! Like a fillum star.

Out could mean anything.” Jeannie twisted in her chair. “Ma, why do you have to keep ridin’ me like this? You open ev'ry letter I get, you swear at any boy I bring home an’ you run squealin’ to the playgrot man ev'ry time I stay out late. I've just about had this place, Ma, and you'd lay off me or I’ll clear out.” “There you go! Well, you do what you like, Jeannie, but I'm warnin’ you you'll come to no/th good. You do what you like.

On the rim of Wade’s Hole a figure was dully silhouetted against the sky. He stood with his back to the watchers, and his arms were held forward as though they sup) a considerable burden of weight. They saw him bend for- ler as the burden was project outwards and dawnwards.

There she eee gled into a thin dress and m up her face before the mirror. Within a few minutes she had left the house and was walking to- wards the row of poplars that lined the westernmost rim of Wade's 1| Hole. ““’HAT you, Jeannie?” The figure of a lean youth de- tached itself from the tree shadows. and stood within the circle of lamplight. “Hullo, Barney!” They clasped arms and strolled down the slope to where the shades of the area converged into almost impenetrable gloom. “Let’s sit here, Jeannie.” The, youth Femoved Lg and spread it upon grass for Jean- ne to lie on and then he stretched himself out beside her.
