sacre, and deeply bitter, told her in what
manner his people had come down through
the centuries since the fall Of Jerusalem
told her very roughly and showed her
a scar.
Sick with horror, Mary fled to refuge un-
der a willow of Basset IS Creek and thought
how Christians, millions Of them had
caused the Chosen People to suffer- She
was a Christian, and yet these tormented
people gave her cakes, were kind to her
mother. She wished she might be
scourged to wipe out the shame. But
they did not like to see suffering; some
of them cried when they heard her moth
er's screams. They would weep if she
were scourged for them. Something else
must be done, something to make them
happy.
''I must think" said Mary, IT must
Think
But while she made unavailing search
for means Of martyrdom or Qualification
(she was very much the Christian mystic)
her new friendships continued growing
warmer. Out Of what had been the crowd
emerged Rachel and Leah and Sophie, d.
vid and Philip, whose cleverness and mer-
riment at once puzzled and delighted her
quick but unsocial mind. And from the
many matrons who helped in ministering
at the sickbed, Mary singled out Mrs.
Let;nsky at first because her toilworn hands
folded one over the other with trick Of the
fingers like her mother IS, but later came
to know her as sure refuge in times of
greatest need. For Mrs. Letinsky was
woman whose motherly heart held not only
her own large brood but reached out in
efficient tenderness to every lonely and
needy child:
And so it was that there rose up COM
forters to ease the shock of death and
loss for Mary, and when the tired body
that had been her mother 8 closed it's eyes
and was still, she found waiting about her,
pity, affection, and strength to lean
upon. After the funeral, when Mary
came back alone to the empty rooms,
lonely, and sorely missing the familiar fur
niture which had been sold to pay ex-
penses, she was at once fallen upon by
many strangers. One was a farmer who
wished to offer her a home, thinking he
said, that she might be trained to make a
good substitute for the maid he could not
get to come SO far. Mary recalled farm
life as she had known it when her mother
worked there, and shrank from the farmer.
Others came suggesting children 8 homes,
charity courses in business college, and
what not, horrible horde to the terrified
child Suddenly, looking, SO Mary thought,
like an angel of wrath, Mrs. Letinsky ap-
peared.
"Ge!" she cried to the strangers, her
eyes blazing with fury, els it SO you treat

Gomez And waiting, with one arm
thrown around Mary, the determined wo-
man saw them all leave. When the last
one was out of the door, she said,

give, and as her mothers illness progressed
and weakened mind and body, that love
seemed more and more remote. And so,
forced to look away for comfort, she met
motherliness on every hand. Unnumbered
little cakes followed the first Offering for
herself. Soups and occasionally delicate
bits of chicken came to tempt the moth
er's appetite. Nor was this all. Every
day some stout matron would come, and
gently shove Mary out of the door, say
ing,
Gee, &c, play with my kids. will make
thy mother what to eat.''
And Mary reluctantly backing down
the stairs away from the sick room, would
be met by the children, clamoring for
stories and play.
It was in these hours Of playtime that
Mary learned she was living in the Old
Testament. Hitherto these neighbors had
been only one of the many different peo
Piles she was vaguely aware of in her life;
kinky-haired negroes, faxen-haired Ger
mans, sprightly French, dark Italians, all
these had been merely part of the world
that was not hers, and none had touched
her imagination. But Jews! She knew
and Of the prophets; she knew their nu-
merous back-slidings, and their more nu-
merous loyalties; she had been fired with
the history Of Judas Maccabeus, and the
stubborn youths, who preferred dying to
eating pork. Character of this strength
seemed wonderful to Mary, for, although
she disliked pork herself, she had never
been able to withstand her mothers in
sistence. And people who feared death
less than she feared spanking-these
were heroes, indeed. Jews! She knew
and loved Jews as she knew and loved the
brownies, pixies, and elves from the fairy
stories. But she had as much expectation
of meeting one as the other. Christian
miracles no longer came to pass, as she
had discovered when she prayed that the
flour in mothers bin might last as did the
Bible widows measure of meal. Why then
hope to see fairies or Jewss
But these were Jews, no question Of it,
as she learned. Her new playmates showed
her the Old Testament in Hebrew, to her
gasping astonishment They showed her
beautiful candlesticks, and once asked her
to come to see the candles lighted, and
hear the blessing the mother said over
them.
Their children giggled with her as she
tried to say after them, "bench icht,"
(blessing Of the ights). Mary had never
seen candles except on the Christmas tree
and then only little ones in tin hold
ers. She resolved that when she grew up
and had money, she would have long
candles in shining brass candlesticks. But
these neighbors were not rich, any more
than she and her mother, and still they
had them. That, Mary thought, must be
part Of the wonder Of Judaism, miracle
which was an unfailing source Of delight.
One day she asked Jacob, who was big
and went to High School, how it was that
the Jews had been preserved to modern
world from which other old book wonders
had long since departed. And Jacob, who

BY Eta Lenart.


Mary, the "Little Alien,'' sat on a rock at
the edge Of Basset's Creek, and watched
the sluggish sewerage wind it's way along
toward the river. She remembered how
in the spring the rains had fallen heavily
enough to swell the waters far beyond their
normal height, and how in the foaming
and rushing they had merrily swept down
stream-a whole woodward, to be raked in
by enterprising and needy folk along the
bank. She and her mother had rescued
enough to keep their small cookstove going
for a month, and they had TESTED, COM
radelike, as they piled their rakes. She
remembered how a little boy, plunging in
to swim, had been carried away and
drowned, and how she had been stricken
cold by the sight of his distorted face and
the sharp wall of his mother as she fell
upon the stiff body.
That wall rose and fell in Mary's heart,
for now her mother was going to die, and
the consciousness Of not belonging, which
all her life had run low and almost un-
noticed like the normal flow Of Basset 8
Creek, now flooded her soul. Before she
came to Minneapolis, her white face and
flaming hair had marked her as a freak
amongst the matter Of fact tanned and
towheaded farmers children. And here
the streets were filled with dark people
who spoke strange language and who had
very strange customs But being different
had never mattered; it had meant only
that she was left alone to read while 9th
ers played, and who could be lonely with
mother who made jest of all that
painedg
Dry-eyed and dumb, Mary remembered
that she was now without protection
Hereafter, if she were to eat and be mo-
destly clothed, she must find work, and la
Dor to please those for whom she would
work; the pages Of Grimm and Anderson
could no longer shelter her strangeness.
She must shake off her dreaming habits,
mother had said, learn to be her own jes-
ter, and face with courage the world on
which she had always turned her back.
A low quivering moan reached her quick
ened ears, and she turned to 60 into the
house. Mothers back must be rubbed
with alcohol, and no hands so soothing as
hers. This, too, had been a jest with her,
that "butterfngers' should SO quickly
learn skill When she entered the dark
hallway she stumbled over soft little
body huddled at the bottom Of the stairs.
Little hands pulled her down to listen.
"I'm Sarah. When your mudder cries
it aches mine heart. Take you this little
cake mine mudder made for me. love
you"
With that the child sobbed and ran
away. Crushing the small cake to keep
her hands from trembling Mary went to
her mother.
After that Mary's eyes were opened to
the sympathy of her dark-haired neigh
bors. All her life she had lived, dreamily
content, even joyous, with her books, warm
~ enclosed in her mothers love-. Now,
