stray pony about the sand had seen
Mem stumble, then fall; had heard
the thump of the body on cushion
ing sand had run to the nearest
house and told what she had seen.
Mem was taken home The village
doctor did all that his skill could
do. So
Though she had never dared to
visit him, he knew of her. and
knew her as a widow. When she
was strong enough TO be talked to
he prepared her for bad news.
"Am to be crippled for life?"
she cried.
NO." he sighed. "You will bear
no marks of your accident. But
you will not-but your other hopes
and expectations-will not be real
lied"
She was dazed and he was timid,
and he had some difficulty in max
ing her understand his bad news;
that she would not be mother.
She bore this blow with a forti-
tude that surprised him.
4
And now Mem was weak and
woebegone, at the bottom of the
cliff of life. She had never climbed
very far, but she had fallen far
enough to give both soul and body
an almost fatal shock. She was a
drudge in a poor family in
scorched settlement abandoned by
all that could get away
The only interiors she could see
were a young widow named Dack
and her fve-year-old boy, Terry.
Mrs. Dack took in washing.
The boy Terry was of the Ariel
breed. His fancy girdled the earth
in forty minutes. He mimicked
birds and animals and often COW
cred his mother with terror and
amused chagrin by initiating her
clients with uncanny skill. .
Once the child caught cold-in
all that heat!-and Mem sat by his
bedside through several smothering
nights, while the back-broken
mother slept. Mem exercised her
skill in making up little dramas to
while away the tedium of the long
nights and to keep the wakeful
child's mind from his cough.
During his illness Mem received
a letter from Leva Lemaire, saying
that she had just seen in an old
paper paragraph describing "Mrs.
Woodville's" fall from the mountain
and her miraculous escape from
death. Leva expressed the utmost
sympathy and prayed that her
beauty had not been marred. She
added:
"But if it has, you can still find
something to do in the movies.
I've given up trying to be an actress
and taken a position in the labora-
tory projection room, correcting
the films. It's cool and dark and
interesting. l think I can get you
a place, if you'll come up. There's
no excuse for a woman OF your
education and charm wasting your
sweetness on the desert air. Do
come! I've sent my three children
out to their .uncle's ranch. You
could live here with me and my
friends"
The thought of working in the
dark and the cool was hint OF
Paradise to Mem.
Nogales international., 1929-10-15

This was her first experience of
the passion of mirnicry. She was
as ashamed as glorihed, as drained
yet as exultant, as if a god had
seized her and embraced her
hercely for a moment, then left her
aching, an ember in the ashes.
The director was already calling
the mob to the next task. She
could not help glancing toward
Tom Hobby His camel was
moving off with the crowd, but he
was turning back to gaze at her.
He was nodding his head in ap-
proval and he raised his hand in
a salute Of profound respect.
Mems sin had led her to the
edge of paradise, and then drawn
her back by the hair.
She was doomed to spend a GER
tain time in increasing heaviness,
and then to die or to go about
thenceforth with a nameless child
holding on to her hand an anchor
ing her to obscurity.
She found place as maid in the
home of storekeeper at such
wages as he could afford. She be-
gan the sordid routine of her tasks,
but, contrasting them with the
glamour of playing tragic roles, she
felt herself entombed.
Then the summer heat began
and grew so fierce that her en-
ployer and his family went to the
seashore.
She spent much thought upon
the letter home that she had not
yet written, that she must write if
ever she were to go home again.
The whole purpose of this long,
long journey into loneliness was to
be able to write that letter; and it
had not yet gone.
Every time she made the begin
ing her hands flinched from the
lying pen. But one night in a
frantic fit of histronic enthusiasm
she dashed off her fable, sealed it
in an envelope, and dropped it
after dark in the mail box.
Darling Mamma and Papa
How can l write the terrible
news? | can hardly bear to think
of it, let alone write about it. But
my darling husband passed away
in the desert. cannot write you
the particulars now, for I am too
agitated and grief stricken and I
do not want to harrow you with
details. / know your poor hearts
will ache for me, but / beg you
not to feel it too deeply, because
am trying to be brave. And
remember what you taught me,
that the Lord giveth and the Lord
taketh away. I cannot
write you more now. I am in no
need of money and I will come
home when I get little stronger.
All the love in the world from
Your loving
Mem.
After she had slipped the letter
irrevocably into the mail box she
realized that the postmark OF
Palm Springs would be stamped
on the envelope. Her place of
concealment would be disclosed.
Still, it would not matter. She
was widow now in the minds OF
her people and she could go back
to them and face the future in
calm.
The mountains had a beckoning
look always, and on this afternoon,
when a clouded sky gave a little
shelter from the sun, she set out
to obey an impulse to climb as far
as her strength would take her.
The exertion of climbing was
more than Mem had larga ed for
The sleeps that looked so inviting
