 Elias hand fell away from the dial and as she peered down, two vertebrae became visible through the thin skin at the back of her neck.
 "What're you standing there like a dummy for?" he demanded. He was not angry. He merely had fallen into the habit of anger long years before. He stretched his broad, fiat feet nearer the grate fire.
 There's music comin' on now"
 Ella walked away from the radio and sat down again to knit. Soft strains of violin and cello drifted like smoke into the room, but Ed did not notice. His oice throttled the music as he sharpened his pen- cil. Scrape. Scrape.
 But Ella seemed to have gone into dream.
 "Now what you incoming about?" demanded her husband. "A woman your age is too old for incoming. Whats that you're knitting?"

 The room faded. Her mother not she, was knitting.
 "Help me roll this new skein Ella"
 "You got some wool left on that ball, Ma. Use it first"
 But Elias fragile hands went out obediently and the gray wool bound them so softly. Her mothers small ball began to take on TO- tundity.
 Ma, you sure there was no mail for me to-day?" "Not from that Nat Borden. He was just enjoying himself at your expense if you ask me. The way he said he had to go to Chicago and take the job his uncle offered him sounded like fish story to me. You'll never hear more from him, lay your mind to that"
 Elias meager body shrank back.
 You don't have to say that all the time, Ma. Maybe 1t was the way you talked to him last night .. when he said he had the job in Chicago. You were so short with him."
 "Mph."
 Maybe he thought he wasn't wanted here. He's so bashful."
 He couldn't think that with you incoming like a sick calf over him. He Wasn't the

 "He wasn't the fellow for you anyhow" her mother went on briskly, 'No go to him, A drifter. Now look at Ed Cobb. There's a hustler for you. You wouldn't want to go off and leave your poor mo- ther, would you?"
 "WouldRt I? Just wouldn't I?" The skein of wool flew out of Elias hands insanely. 'I'm sick, to death sick to death :" She could not talk straight.

Why didn't Nat ask me? What am I going to do? I don't even know his address. can't even write him. Pll died. I'll go crazy! Can't any body help me? What am I going to do?"

 Ella bent for the sweater, crumpled the letter inside it and with one motion flung both into heart of the burning logs. As they roared into flames. Ed looked up irritably. Then he saw what she had done.
 "Of all the clumsy fools," he yelled. How you come to drop that in the fire?"
