7 sat by my window and looked
out at the quiet sea all through the
first night of Bob's return. / felt
that it didn't matter whether 1 eve
slept again or not. Probably 1 would
sleep endless centuries away, in my
grave, sometime. And that night L
a to think of the night when Bob
had left me, and gone off to the war,
and of how l felt in the dark, in my
sleep, for the scar on his cheek. and
had Weakened chilled with the fear of
something 1 could not define!
Now Bob had come back n the
fear was definitei Only death could
be worse than this strange ~forgetful-
ness of me! Wa 1 equal to the de-
mand for patience and courage
which it put upon me?
My mind went round and round in
circles, In the dawn l slipped into
my bathing suit and beach robe,
crossed the sands and walked the
length of the pier. L hoped that a
cold plunge in the sea would shock
me out of my mental whirl.
L was alone in the world except for
a small motorboat up shore. / sat
down at the end of the doc The
sun was hanging, like a red toy bal
loon, in the mist at the edge of the
horizon. The siren, down shore, was
moaning out its warning of a fog.
In the other direction, had the
morning been clear, l might have
seen the giant wheel in the pleasure
park. And straight ava in front of
me, at a spot l fancied / could fix
exactly, the U-boat was snugly berth
ed on the ocean bottom.
I kept my eyes on the spot. The
fascination of it became uncanny. L
knew the interior of that U-boat well,
and just where the torpedo case was
located. What a strange cargo it
held! And 1 smiled as l recalled the
prophecy of dire disaster which went
with the pearls.
The motorboat which had been
racing toward our pier slowed up
and stopped at my feet. ] drew my
beach robe close inc gazed inquir-
ingly at the man at the wheel.
1t was the Hun who lived in the
| shack with Certeis! The German
mechanic who had worked on the
U-boat! The mar who knew all OF
the secrets of that torpedo shell!
'Tve warned you once" he said
! without a salutation. ITS your good
luck that l recognize you as the girl
Who raised hell in the hold of the
U-boat. And for that trick, I wouldn't

1t had been raining all day and
Peter had spent the day in the barn
with Grandpa who was mending har-

ant Juggling across the barn foo
THAT remands me-" said Grandpa,
"of an experience / had with ants
when l was about your age. 1t was a
bitter day in December. My father had
gone after a load of wood and had left
Just two chunks, one small one and
, one great big one. The little one
burned out and my mother and 1 af-
ter a good deal of trouble got the
big one in the stove but we couldn't
TIT the door shut.
Just then a neighbor stopped to
get my mother to go see his SICK
wife. My baby sister was sound
asleep in the cradle so my mother
decided to leave me at home with her
and promised to be home in an hour.
IT got my favorite fairy story and
was wishing I Lived in those good old
times when there were gaintS to fight.
The fire snapped and sizzled and l
looked up to see that the floor was
simply alive with huge, black, fuzzy
timber ants. 1 forgot about wanting to
fight giants and started to run, then
l thought of my baby sister.
81 knew right away where the ants
came from. The big old chunck had
been hollow and an entire ant colony
had taken it for their winter quar-
tiers. When they got hot they came
swarming out of the end that stuck
out of the door.
SO, though my legs were shaky. l
grabbed up the big dustpan and the
broom and began sweeping them up
and emptying them back in the stove.
They crawled up my hands and legs
and stung me and one even got on my
fare and stung my lip, but l kept on
till the last ant was sizzling on the
fire.
