 You look it." Joan could not resist the temptation to smile, and at the same time relent. "I'n see if I can stir up some breakfast for you You haven't had any, I suppose?"
 "Breakfast?" He made gesture which implied that breakfast had been furthest from his thoughts. at.I don't think that want any"
 Fifteen minutes later he was wrapped in his bathrobe and was eating hearty meal with every ap- pearance of enjoyment. He locked up at Sam and said earnestly: Committing suicide isn't an easy thing, Joan
 Where did you spend the night? In the garage?"
 He shuddered. Some of the time I was in the garage. Some of the time I wandered I wonder where I'll be wandering tonight"
 Sam pointed stern finger. Look here, Fourth" she d m n d. Don't you think that we've had about enough of this foolishnessl have an idea that you'd better make up your mind to stay here and be agreeable, or get out"
 He sighed. Then I shall have to get out. It is obvious that l am not wanted here her Q. "
 That's nonsense" Sam was con- temptuous. Its entirely up to you whether or not you stay here, and personally, I think you'd better. It might be more pleasant than walk ing the streets"
 Perhaps you're right" Fourth shivered reminiscently. At any rate, Jean, 1 promise to give the matter careful consideration
 From that time, life in the stable went on more or less smooth ly Fourth, to be sure, utterly re- fused to speak a single word to his new daughters law and he avoided her as carefully as pos sible Of his son, however, he grad ually became more tolerant, and it seemed possible that eventually there might be a complete recon ciliation.
 Nelson, as he had anticipated, had difficulty in finding job, and 1t was Peak who gave him some thing to do. Peak apologized to Sam for the nature of the work and for the small salary that went with it.
 Sam waved the apologies away "The salary doesn't matter" she said. He and Martha can live al the stable as long as it is neces- sary."
 How about Fourth? Doesn't he make things difficult?"
 t'He did at first, but he's calm ing down now 1 think he ha: something else on his mind" San drowned ITO tell you the trutf I'm just a bit worried about tha something else
 What do you mean?"
 T mean that he's fussing abou with that darn invention of hi again. Every company in the coun try has told him that it is no goot for commercial use, but they can convince Fourth"
 aWhy be worried?" Peak laughed Tt may take his mind off Nelson and it can't do any harm, any how"
 That's just what I'm worries about. I'm afraid it may do harm. She hesitated. You see, Peal Fourth has a widow. Her name EUgenie Frye
