In regard to belief, the former

Streeter and his henchmen, follow

ordered him from the office. AL
though he conferred briefly with
Mr.. Robinson and Mr.. Frazier, he
showed by his attitude and his re-
marks that he had no intention of
being the least bit fair or reason

This incident presents a serious

by saying,

CHAPTER XIII

IN THE weeks that followed, the
L spiritual disruption in this house
seemed complete. No one spoke Of
Julia in words; each one suffered
in private his own particular degree
and quality Of grief. They fell to
the accumulated work, easing their
sorrow in excess of toll.
The plans Cynthia and Julia had
made for the Institute now seemed
as remote as though they belonged
with other people. This was her
place, where Julia had always been,
directing the house for Spared.
Gradually the deafness grew GUS
tomary as the days heightened into
a new routine. The work Of the
full harvest filled up and spilled
over the days into both ends of the
night. Cynthia did all the won-
ans part with some aid from the
boys. She and Jesse gathered the
late beans from the garden. She
picked them in the brown earthen
Jars in the cellar, giving painstak-
ing care to preserve the flavor
which Julia developed in them. The
sweet potatoes were carefully dug,
put into open Slated crates and
stacked in the cellar where they
gave off a good earthen smell. The
