She received letters from Muir
lilo. She never read them. They
came to her with 8 shock of ufls
easiness. She tucked them htir-
richly in corner Of her suitcase.
Her mind Closed against him
sharply just as she snapped the
suitcase on his letters.
And she would 90 down to the
beach, Kidding her head back
ward, running. She thought Of
the baby then, but not az 10 lay
cold in her arms. She thought
OF it in that moment Of ecstacy
when she first felt the stirring Of
its life
She dreamed of day when she
would love greatly love as no
woman on earth had ever loved
before. Then the child would re-
turn to her. He would come
laughing and strong because Of
the bounteous welcome she would
offer He would be beautiful and
gay.
She lay on the sands often,
letting these visions troop through
her mind.
She didn't ask how this was to
be accomplished. II would hap
pen. In some miraculous man
ner the hurt and the shame OF
the last year would be wiped out
-Murillo would vanish. She
laughed, thinking this. She
would be Sandy Mcneil again.
In spirit this fact was already
accomplished. She couIdn help
It. It was the bounding health
returning, the magnetic charge OF
her spirits, the upsurge and
vibrance Of her youth.
1t was easy to laugh. Who
could help 5rajoicing when the
waves break about one or when
the choppy waters droop from the
stroke?
1t was just as 1t had been in
those April days when she swan
with Jimmy and found all the
earth album with immortal glad-t
ness.
The surf riders came charging
to, the shore, their brown bodies
cleaning.
Sandy watched them enviously.
They said it was an easy thing
to do.
Stealthily her eyes wandered
till they saw, far out, an arm
raised, the board flung on the
waves and someone leaping up
ward. Her breath caught.
A tall, spare figure standing
