SUMMER
BY Anne Austin

Cherry remained locked in her
room until Frances Warren and Sell
ma Pruitt had gone away, and after
that until Mrs. Lane, who had begged
in vain for admittance three times
used the best weapon she possessed
to break into that room of doubts
and griefs and stormy passions.
For Mrs. Lane gasped, closed her
eyes, slumped low on the davenport
and gave every other indication of a
heart attack which was only partial
ly feigned.
Faith ran to Cherry's room and
beat frantically upon the door
"Quick Cherry! Mothers having an
attack. She's calling for you! II

When Cherry flung open the door
Faith cried out in pain and pity at
the sight of the lovely, tear-ravaged
little face.

began to sob against Faiths neck.

The sob-shaken little body was clad
only in the gauzy white chiffon ted

filched from her own trousseau.
Faith did not stop to dress her, but
carried her to the living room and
laid her, as if she had been an in

you some of your heart medicine,
dear. Don't talk if you don't feel
like it." 70
But when Faith returned with the
tiny medicine glass of water, into
which three drops of the potent dSIg
had been measured, she found there
was little need of it. Mrs. Lane was
rocking her favorite child in her
arms, and Cherry's face was cuddled
against her mothers vast bosom.
"Muggy's baby!' Mrs. Lane was
whispering huskily.
"Oh, Muggy! I'm such bad girl

won't want to be at my wedding"
Maybe you'd better ask Mr.. Cluny

face against her mothers breast and
face against her mothers enormous
shoulders like a repentant child.
All that terrible evening, the
thought Of Bob Hathaway and his
love for her had quivered like a bar
of ineffable music in Faiths heart,
sustaining her, making 1t possible
for her to bear anything, even the
tragic sadness in her fathers de-
feated old eyes. Now she wanted,
above everything else, to be alone
with the realization Of Bob's love.
Obeying an almost irresistible i'm
pulse, she began letter to him, sit
ting up in her bed, blanket fluffed
about her shoulders.
IT have realized to night, darling,

pathetic voice quavered from the
doorway.
