sother interrupted her, hastily, for
AK had aired these views before and
he was not in sympathy with them.
"And I guess you're right: the child
IL a woman now, with a woman's re-
snonsibilities," he added. "And her
Mace is with her husband. They'll
have to solve life together, to learn to-
gether. I'll speak to Cherry"
Allx, watching him walk away,
thought that she had never seen Dad
look old before She saw the shadow
on his kind face all the rest of that
day.
1t was only the next morning when
be opened the question with Cherry.
1t was a brilliant morning, with
spring already IN the air. Cherry. on
the porch steps, was reading a letter
from Martin. Her father sat down be-
side her. She had on one of her old
gowns and bathed in soft sunlight,
looked eighteen again The air was
sweet and pungent and damp and
fresh, the sky high and blue, and
across the granite face of Tamalpais
a last scarf Of mist was floating.
well, what has Martin to sayT
asked the doctor.
"Oh, he doesn't like it much" Cher.
~ said, making little face. HE de
scribes the village as perfectly hope
less He's moved into the little house
IN Z street, and gotten two stoves
up
And when does he want his girlF'
her father pursued.
He doesn't say" Cherry answered
innocently. u think he is really hap
pier to have me here, where he knows
/ am well OFF, she said. 81 know
am" she ended after a moments
thought.
Her father was conscious of a pang !;
he had not even formed the thought
In his own mind that Cherry was I'M
happy, The child, he told himself, had
8 good husband, a home and health,
and undeyeloped resources within
herself. 1t was puzzling and painful
TO him to realize that there was need
ed something more-and that that
something was lacking. He felt a sud
den anger at Martin; why wasn't Mar
tin managing this affair?
Mart doesn't mention any time! p
he mused.
Thanks to your Cherry said,
dimpling mischievously He wrote
quite firmly, just before Christmas,
she added but l told him that Dad
had been such an angel and liked so
much to have me here" And Cher
rvs smile was full of childish triumph.
My dear" her father said, spurred
TO sudden courage by a realization
that the matter might easily become
serious, you mustn't abuse his gen
crosby. Suppose you write that
you'll join him-this is March-sup-
pose you say the first of April?"
Cherry flushed and looked down.
Her lips trembled There was a mo
ment of unhappy silence.
Very well, Dad She said In a low
voice. A second later she had jumped
10 her feet and vanished in the house.
Ter father r0amed the woods in
%retched misgiyings, coming in at
lunch time to find her in her place,
smiling, but traces of tears about her
lovely eyes.
Nothing more was said for a day or
9 I"o' and then Cherry read aloud to
me family an affectionate letter in
~hlch Martin said that everything
@"ould be ready for her whenever she
8came now.
