By JUDD MORTIMER LIE

AFTER | woke up yesterday morning I
~ lay still quite Il long time without
getting up. Rowdy had gone out of doors
and | sat up and looked at myself and I
thought | was an awful little girl to be
there IN such big bed. looked all
around and the house was SO stil that felt
funny and somehow II made mo want to he
clean. So got up and washed my face and
hands and it feels funny to wash your face
and hands all by themselves, and not the
rest of you the way you do when you 60

| shook out my hair and brushed it and
brushed II till il was all Crinkly and shiny.
Then | parted it exactly in the middle and
plated It. but did not like it that way. SO
| unplaited it and found an old black rib
bon in n closet and tied it around my hair
and my forehead. when my father saw me
he kissed me and said. II don't know who
YOU are, but / am glad to meet you |
said, II am Patsy, your own true-hearted
little girl" lie said. 80 you are" Then
he said, II have been saving up money to
get stone to put on your mothers grave,
but school will open in about a month and
you are going to go and will need some
clothes" | said, THAT will he all right and
| will speak to my mother about it and see
whether she would rather have a stone on
her or some dresses on me"
That day when Rowdy and I rambled we
stood and watched a big. iron bucket under
a bridge unload boat full of sand. Then
we went down under the bridge and played
in the sand for long time. A man who
had wagonoad of sand to deliver gave
ROwdy and me a ride. lie had been a soldier
in the Philippine Islands and he told me all
about il and about some snakes he used to
catch in his bare hands and tie knots in
them until they looked like pretzels He
had killed great many 'ilipnos and was
proud of il.
When we got where were going he
drove into n yard and took his wagon all
apart and the sand fell out and then he put
it together again and said, "Climb in"
lady came out Of the house and said. please
be careful and not drive over my flowers"

She asked. rs that your dog?" He said
Yes, maam." The lady said 81 should
like to have dog like that IL he is a
watchdog" He said, Yes. ma am; he is
and full o. blood. You can have him for SIS
and that's dirt cheap"
The lady went in for her money and and
IIowdy rambled after Rowdy had bit the
Filipino killer to make him let go.
When we got to the Carpenters Wilbur
