whose soft, gray eyes occasionally sweep

whose faint sigh, as her glance came
back to the bit of crocheting In her
hands, was full of definite longing.

From being quietly meditative his
glance became quizzical. The thought
that had come remained unspoken, put
the decision he had reached was acted
upon so expeditiously that a day in the
of tender, growing things, found the httie
gray-haired woman, the longing In the
gray eyes supplanted by light OF vivid
anticipation in Pullman homeward

to the time limit. but her inwardly
breathed "A month" had been full of
ineffable scorn.

fully of her plan to have a garden put
in so she would have vegetables all
through the summer and winter and

1t was just before Thanksgiving, when
the thought of other Thanksgivings was

lawyer, and with determination stamped
on her furrowed little face put the old
home in his hands for rent.

as she walked homeward. that it's best
