“All things work together for
good to them that love the Lord
and are called according to his
purpose.”
When God placed man on the
earth He knew that through His
transgression he would face a life
filled with sorrows and disap-
pointment. He knew there would
be times when the present would
be hard to understand and the
future would be clouded. He knew
our need Of comforting scripture
such as the one above. We can-
not understand the things that
come upon us, but we do know
that through God’s divine wisdom
they will be made to work to-
gether for our goo'd and God’s
glory.
For this reason we know God
to look beyond the sorrow of today
and see the good that God will ac-
complish through this. Again we
find comfort as we read “—My
grace is sufficient for thee: for
my strength is made perfect in
weakness.”

we come to the day WW parting
with the pastor that we have
learned to love and lean upon. He
and his family have taken a place
in our hearts that no one else can
fill. They have been so faithful
to their duties in a measure that
we cannot understand. We can
hardly picture in our minds the
time when we will no longer be
able to look to the comforting and
strengthening presence of Bro.
Bullard and his faithful com-
panion. But we know God will
somehow show us the way and
send an undershepherd to lead us
on. And we rejoice that the Lord
has seen fit to place him in a
still larger field of work.
We know that in God’s strength
he will accomplish much as he
serves, not only our church, but
all the churches of Texas as mis-
sionary. We are nbt loosing his
services but only sharing them
with others.
At such a time as this words
cannot express what we feel in our
hearts. We cannot put into words
the joys and sorrows that have
bound us so close during the past
five and one-half years. As we

CHAPTER XV
T GOT up and went into Mar-
i' garet’s room. She was walk-
ing the floor. “I jest can’t sleep,
Miss Marthe," she mumbled apol-
ogetically.
“Well, we’ll fix that,” I said,
with forced cheerfulness. I went
into the bathroom and returned
with a half glass of water.
“What’s that?” she asked sus-
piciously as I reached for the en-
velope on the bedside table.
“Something the doctor left to
make you sleep,” I said, taking out
two of fhe tablets.
Margaret shrank back. “I can’t
take them. I can’t swallow them.
They yjon’t go down.”
“All {right, then,” I said, sooth-
ingly afnd dipped the two pills
iffto the haj*Jlled glass of water.
I shoolj; the^ass and tiny bubbles
rose to the top of the water. It
looked' as if it was going to take
the medicine a long time to dis-
solve. -A chill dawn wind began
to blow the curtains at the open
windows. Margaret saw me
shiver.
“Miss Marthe, you’ll catch your
death of cold,” she said worriedly
with a flash of her old self. “Go
on hack to bed. I’ll be all right.”
“Not unless you get into bed
first and promise to take this
medicine as soon as the tablets
dissolve,” I said.
She obeyed. I tucked the quilt
around her, told her to call me if
she didn’t go to sleep soon and
went out. Kathy’s door opened as
I closed Margaret’s and she stuck
her head out.
“What’s the matter, Gram? I
heard you talking.”
“Margaret’s awake,” I ex-
plained. “I just fixed her some
of that sleeping medicine the doc-
tor left.”
There was the click of an elec-
tric switch, and a streak of light
showed beneath the door of Con-
nie and Walter’s room. It looked
if I’d awakened everybody in
intending to get up in a few min-
utes to go and see if Margaret, had
followed my orders about taking
the sedative, but the bed was
warm and comforting and I
slipped to sleep before I knew it.
thq house, I went back to bed
lT'ATHY was eating her break-
^ fast when I got down the next
morning. She had on an outrage-
ous pair of blue denim overalls
and a red' plaid lumberman’s
blouse. When she got up and
crossed to the buffet for more toast
the big wide legs of the pants
flapped around her slender ankles.
She had on high-heeled pumps.
I gasped and asked her if she
was going fishing in those silly
shoes, and she said, no, that Clint
Mattison was bringing her a pair
of hip boots to wear. She said
they were going to take our boat
and go up to the end of the lake
and cast for trout in the creek
that comes down from the hills.
She looked very alive and almost
excited and there was a lift to
her voice as she chattered.
I had a bad moment wondering
whether or not to warn her against
Mattison. 1 was sure my change
of mind about investigating Derek
Grady’s murder had whetted his
curiosity. He might try to find
out things from Kathy.
But before I could make up my
mind there came a whistle from
outside and Kathy hopped up to
open the door. From my place at
the table I saw Mattison, his good
arm loaded with fly rods, an extra
pair of boots, and a kit bag, come
into the hall. He piled his gear on
a chair, and Kathy smiled at him
and herded him into the break-
fast room for a cup of coffee.
He apologized for his appear-
ance as he sat down opposite me.
He had on a faded shirt and old
trousers tucked into hip boots,
and he smelled like—a fisherman.
His broken arm was still in its
cast and. the empty shirt sleeve
was pinned to his shoulder.
I poured him, some coffee and
he and Kathy began to talk about
the possibility of a good catch, or,
rather, Kathy did. I glanced up
unexpectedly and caught Matti-
son studying me from under his
lowered brows. There was grim
concentration in his gray eyes.
My hunch had been right. I knew
it then. Mattison wasn’t present
just for the pleasure of Kathy’s
company.
A SUDDEN commotion in the
hall ended what might have
become an awkward situation.

down stairs for breakfast and
Jack spied Mattison’s fishing traps.
Miss Lake was bringing the twins
Jack’s been crazy about fishing
ever since Walter took him out on
the lake once and let him pretend
he was fishing with a real rod.
He made an excited dive for Mat-
tison’s things.
“’Ook, I’m goin’ fishin’. I’m
goin’ fishin’,” he chanted with
shrill delight. Miss Lake screamed.
Her cry brought us to our feet
and into the hall. Jack was swing-
ing one of the rods around in the
air and the line had come un-
reeled. We saw the dangling hook
flash past Judy’s dimpled baby
face and bury itself in one of the
window drapes.
Kathy separated Jack from the
fishing stick and Mattison helped
the trembling governess free the
hook. Kathy sat down on the bot-
tom stair step with Jack.
“Those are Mr. Mattison’s fish-
ing rods,” she told him firmly.
“You shouldn’t have touched
them.”
That meant nothing to Jack.
“Can’t I go wif ’im?” he begged
“Me want to catch fish.”
Kathy laughed' in spite of her-
self, “Maybe, the next time,” she
promised.
“Sure,” Mattison joined in. “Nexft
time I’ll bring a fishing pole foe
you, too.”
