She threw herself upon a rick-

despairingly on the porch roll.
Suddenly she raised -her hend

Kenmore quickened his pace and I

"How does (t feel to he a

The bo looked so thoroughly
grieved that I.yndn knew she had

"Come In. Davie while I do

David followed her Into the

At that moment tho apron

The boy's oyes caunht It he-
lore she pulled the opening to-

"No. no. I tolti you he was

If he had fixed my dress so I

I'd have Just been through

"Damn him" said David Ken-
mpre. under his breath. Hr knew
what it would mean lo have that
dress put out of commission. He
Knew the sacrifice and saving
that had gone Into Its purchase.
"You are sure you can mend It?"
lie asked anxiously.
"Yes. hut I know I'll never
be able to hold the Job ir Dail

so hnnl to 'get It. I Just can't

"Don't wot about that. I.vn.

Lynda had bee picking up
her dishes and placing hom In-
to tho sink. .vs a matter of
course. David 'found a towel and
proceeded to wipe them. Just as
he had done ever since he hail
been fourteen and Yynda hud
been ten.
"There are oodles and oodles

Silently Lynda pulled the apron
