Life was sweet then.
Sandy looked at her hands. They
were so white and transparent. Now
a tear fell on her knuckles She
watched it in surprise as it trickled
through her fingers. Crying-she
was crying. Crying because it was
not a year ago.
She was so alone these days. No
ono but her mother and Alice and
her Uncle Bob came.
She wanted no one, She thought
that she was dying. She wondered
how long it would take.
Once in a while she felt Il pity for
herself. And once in u while a
blaze of anger. Then she thought OF
running away. She would so some

would shove behind her all this VIC

The only time she wept was when
she thought Of this-havlng another
child to take the place of the little
one that was gone. She didn't wish
its place to be taken. She wanted
that emptiness and hurt TO stay
there always.
But even her mother said: "God
will send you another child" Sandy
listened with her heart burning. The
way her mother talked OF God! II
was God they blamed for this mar
riage-and God who said she mustn't
rebel. That was a terrible defiance.
God wanted her to be Murillo's wife,
wanted her to bow gently to her
cross!

just one thing. It's fighting spirit

son is apt to go through a world
series with q mark OF DOT. And
the chap who pounded the ball at

Take Everett Scott for instance.
Scotty always hit better in the
world series than he ever did in
the regular season. And Roger
