THE DAY IT RAINED


by my son.
1t was when Bobbie was two
months old that the break came.
One Sunday morning, when she
was giving little Bobbie his bath.
she heard a thud in the dining
room, and, rushing out with her
baby in her arms, found Jerry in
an unconscious heap on the floor.
When the doctor had succeeded
in making Jerry comfortable. he
took the frightened wife into the
next room.
my dear Mrs. Dean" he began,
your husband is in critical con-
dition. / find he has been work
ing mostly by artificial light, in
an office on a court and doing the
work of two men, at that. You
don't get a great deal of fresh air
here either. He should get out
into the open-digging in the
earth. Ever consider the sub
f., urbs?"
''Well-er-that is faltered
Margaret. all her paper castles
falling to ruins about her, Jerry
always loved the country, but I'm
afraid 1 was selfish"
You'd better choose the coun-
try for him without much delay
that is, if you want to keep him"
Did she want to keep him? Her
Jerry! Her baby's daddy! Every
thing except keeping him paled
into utter insignificance from that
moment.
If Jerry Thought Margie a bit
!, heartless when she bundled him
D.. off to a hospital, he was too sick
to really care, and the kindly
nurse made him so comfortable
all he wanted to do was rest.
For many days lie was too weak
to do more than smile contentedly
when Margie brought Bobbie to
see him, but time and care finally
brought back some of his strength.
i When the doctor told him he
could go home he was conscious
of a great longing to, be alone
with his precious little family, but
the very thought of their stuffy
little apartment made him gasp
for breath. But the next day
when Margle came for him in a
taxi he met her with cheerful
smile.
They had ridden for some time
before Jerry noticed they had left
were swinging north into the
country.
Taking dad for joy ride be-
fore he settles DOWN." he asked
casually.
II hope so, dear. Isn't the
country beautiful"
They stopped in front of a
cunning house set we'll back
among the trees.
Whom do we know here?"
asked Jerry. Margie hurried
ahead up the path while the
chauffeur helped Jerry to his
land legs.
The husbands surprise began
when he saw his wife put the
baby down, insert a key in the
lock and open the door. It grew
rapidly when she led him gently
into a most attractive living room
OF ample proportions and seated
him in his favorite arm chair.
Lady bug" he said with
catch in his voice, what have
you done?"
Exactly what you told me to
Jerry Dean. You told me 70 save
my money for the day it rained
and thought it rained-rained

~ HORTLY after her marriage
- to Jerry Dean, Margaret re-
~ ceived an unexpected leg
acy. Like the advent of most un-
expected legacies, this one brought
with it thoughts of a hundred
places for it's expenditure, but
most of all, Margaret thought of
the home they were waiting to
establish. and watched eagerly
for Jerry's return to the hotel to
tell him the wonderful news.

new nest"' she exclaimed glee-
fully.

He tweaked her ear playfully,
but Margie failed to notice the
tired. longing look in her be-
. loved s. eyes. They went about
featheririg their nest on the side
street, and every time Margaret
saw something she especially
longed for, but to which the sum
Jerry had set aside for furnish
ings would not reach, she made a
mental note of the legacy re-
posing peacefully to her credit in
the bank and resolved to buy
after Jerry had forgotten about it.
