Her room was n bare, cheerless place.
She did not want to sit and ponder.
Too much real grief lowered In the

II is not always sufficient to be
young and alive. To sit still and

walked down the road and out upon
the wharf. which jutted 200 yards
into the lake.
IL stood deserted save for n lone
fisherman on the outer end. and an
elderly couple that preceded her.
Halfway out she passed a slip beside
which lay moored a heavily built.
50-foot boat, SCARED with usage. a
squat and powerful craft. Lakeward
stretched smooth, unrippled sur

cloud drifted lazily. Where the
shadows from these lay. the lake

She stood for a time at the outer
wharf end, mildly interested when
the fisherman drew up a two-pound
trout. wondering little at her own
subtle changes OF mood. Her sur
roundings played upon her like n vir-
tuoso on his violin. And this was
something that she did not recall as
a trait in her own character. She
had never inclined to the volatile
perhaps because until the motor &C.
cident snuffed out her fathers life
she had never dealt in anything but
superficial emotions.
After a time she retraced her steps.
Nearing the halfway slip, she saw
that a wagon from which goods were
being unloaded blocked the way. A
dozen men were stringing in from
the road, bearing bundles and bags
and rolls of blankets. They were

Peter Rabbit Finds Sammy Jaws Scorer

DETER RABBIT hung around in

finding everybody too busy to gossip
he decided to go over TO the Green

there. He had gone but little way
into the Green Forest when he
caught glimpse of blue form

knew in an instant who IL was, for
there is no one but Sammy Jay with
such a coat. Peter glanced I'D into

His tail is bright blue. crossed with
black bars and edged with white.
His wings are blue, with white and
black bars. His throat and breast
are a soft. grayish-white, and he
wears collar of black. On his head
he wears a pointed cap, a very con-

down so that IL is not pointed at all.

Just so. But a broken steering
knuckle on a heavy touring car set
things in a different light-many
things. She learned then that death
Is no respecter OF persons, that a
big income may be lived to its limit
with nothing left when the brain
force which commanded 1t ceases to
function. Her father produced per-
haps $4,000 to $4,000 a year in his
brokerage business. and he had
saved nothing. Thus. at one stroke,
she was put on an equal footing with
the stenographer In her fathers Of
flee. Scarcely equal either. for the
stenographer earned her bread and
was technically equipped for the
task. whereas Esteila Benton had no
training whatsoever. except in social
usage. She did not yet fully realize
lust what had overtaken her. Things
had happened SO swiftly. SO ruth
lessly. that she still verged upon the
incredulous. Habit chung fast. But
she had begun to think. to try and
establish some working relation be
tween herself and things as she
found them. She had discovered al
ready that certain theories Of human
relations are not soundly established
in fact.
She turned at last in her seat The

beyond the next stop. While she
dwelt mentally upon this, her hands
were gathering up some few odds
and ends of her belongings on the
seat.
Across the aisle a large. smooth
faced young man watched her with
covert admiration. When she had
settled back with bag and suitcase
locked and strapped on the opposite
seat and was hated and gloved. he
leaned over and addressed her gen
