In the Rain,

Shirley stood looking out at the
rain. 1t was falling in no steady
downpour which held forth promise
of ending, but with gentle constancy
that gave the hills look of sudden
discomfort and made disconsolate
miry pools by the roadside. The
clouds were not too thick, however. to

The indoors had become impossible
to her. She was sick of trying to
read, sick Of the endless ~racings and
purposeless invention Of needless
tasks. She wanted movement, the
cobwebby mist about her knees, the
wet rain in her face. She ran upstairs
and came down clad In close scarlet

hat.

On the sopping lawn she glanced
up at her mothers window. Since the

pity and tenderness.
He took her hand gently without
speaking, and pressed it hard against
his lips. 1t seemed to him very small

her over the uneven path, and came
to the open in silence.
