He waited little before return

out into the garden together; and
he saw them through the window,

with her head bent, Barbara talk

When he came out to them, she
was still chattering; and he asked
with a wry grin, "Broadcasting,

He strolled with them around the
house toward the tennis court, think
ing he ought to go to town, but re-
luctant to leave his mother. Watch
ing her, while Barbara's gay tongue
ran, he saw that she in turn was
watching Barbara, as though in
wonder that the girl because she
loved Dan could even in this hour
be somehow happy; and he saw
change in his mothers demeanor,
a slow dawning resolution in her
eyes.
Till at last she spoke, interrupt

Lonely North Carolina Town
Marks Christmas January

y ODANTHE, N. c., easternmost
N town in America, celebrates
Christmas twice each year. "New"
Christmas comes December rs but
just as regularly on January 5 the
inhabitants of this isolated town OBJ
serve "Old" Christmas, carry-over
from the days before our current
calendar was generally accepted.
Christmas trees must be imported,
for Rodanthe has only one tree (see
below, a gnarled oak. But the kids
enjoy this plan, because Santa Claus
visits them twice. Their parents,
fishermen and coastguardsmen on an
island that is little more than a shift
ing sand dune, participate enthusiast
tically in both celebrations. But
around Old Christmas centers most
of the tradition.

wait alone for two hours while he
applied to Mrs. Sentry every test
known to scientific medicine.
But his report in the end was re-
assuring. He said, to them both:
"Well, Mrs. Sentry, I've checked
up in every possible way; and
there is nothing organically wrong
with you. I am satisfied there has
been no cerebral accident. Your
nerves are worn out, and just be-
fore this happened you had your
arms tight folded with your clenched
fist under your left arm. That shut
off the blood supply, perhaps; and
the strain you have been under, and
cramped position, and fatigue did
the rest. That is all, I am sure"
Phil asked, fought we to do any,
thing about it,"
Doctor Mainton hesitated. "Take
your mother away somewhere" he
said then. "To your summer home
at York Harbor, perhaps. Can you
go today?"
Mrs. Sentry said, 81 am to see
the Governor at two this afternoon"
She thought Doctor Mainton might
forbid this, tell her not to go; and
she prepared to resist him. But he
did not.
''Then afterward?" he urged.
''Later in the afternoon. Go up
there and get plenty of rest and
sleep. Those are the only drugs
you need"
At home they found Barbara
awake, and wondering where they
had been, and surprised to find Phil
not gone to his Office; but she was
too much absorbed in her own hap
piness to be diligent with questions,
and they put her off. Then she re-
membered that Mr.. Falkran had
telephoned, to speak to Phil.
81 told him he could catch you in
town. she said. maybe you'd bet
ter call him up.'
Phil met his mothers eye, and
he went into the library to phone.
Falkran said, 'I've bad news, Mr..
Sentry"
Phil felt the blood pound in his
ears against the receiver. "Yes?"
ST saw the Governor" Fallxran
explained. HE is willing to see Mrs.
Sentry if she insists, but only as a
matter of courtesy. His decision is
already taken"
Phil found himself nodding, with
out speaking; and then Falkran's
voice came in his ear. Hello? SEN
try? Did you hear?"
''Yes. Oh, yes"
"He says the interview would be
useless, but of course he will see her
if she wishes"
Phil's shoulders Strengthened, he
assumed the responsibility of de-
cision. THANK you, Mr.. Falkran,"
he said. II should say it win not

Doctor Johnston has made a ro-
tating wheel, which varies the hues.
He has found that as the mixtures
of color rays closely meet the COM
bination of rays in pure sunlight,
the plants grow normally. While,
on the other hand, plants appear to
grow abnormally if any particular
hue is accented.
The shapes, heights, and types of
plants in one part Of the world seem
to differ from those in another To-
cality. This seems to prove that the
sunlight in the polar regions is unlike
that in tropical places.

There's nothing to wait for

The girl spoke bravely. 81 think

Mrs. Sentry smiled. ''No, I don't

turously, kissed her hard, whirled
away toward the house like dane

Mrs. Sentry looked after her; and
Phil put his arm across his mothers
shoulders. 'That was great, moth
er" he said. you've made her so
darned happy! And-I know what
it meant to you to let her CO."
She said, half to herself: "I've
built my life, Phil, on-pride. And
I've been selfish too. But we've moth
ing of pride left, and-I'n be hap
pier if Barbara is happy. I'll have
to start rebuilding my life on-some
other foundation besides pride and
selfishness now"
So Dan and Barbara were mar
ried, in the big living-room, with
Phil, Linda and Mrs. Sentry as only
witnesses. Mrs. Sentry during the
intervening days and on that we'd
ding day sometimes chung secretly
to PhiPs arm; but she managed to
do nothing to alarm Barbara or
distress her. They were married
just after noon; then Dan took train
for Cleveland and was gone.
This was Friday, the twenty
eighth of June. After Dams de-
parture, Phil proposed to his mother
that they all drive away to York.
"Just for the week-end?" he sug-
gested.
She hesitated, asked then, "Phil,
when will it be?" She added firmly:
"What day? What hour?"
He spoke in a low tone. "Why,
usually just after midnight" he said.
''The first day."

planned, alphabetically. "I'm-much

He urged: "But Doctor Main

"Afterward, possibly" she said
decisively. "For now, we will stay
here"
So they stayed. Saturday morn
ing, at Mrs. Sentry's insistence, Phil
went to the office as usual. He
and Linda drove in together, Phil at
the wheel, Linda close against his
side; and they spoke little. At his
desk he ran through the morning
mail with her; and when she had
gone to her typewriter he sat idle,
his hands in front of him, palms
down upon the top of the desk, and
he stared at his own hands as
though he had never seen them be-
fore.
Then Linda came back in. He
raised his eyes heavily; and she
said, "Phil, Mr.. Wines is here"
For a moment the name was
meaningless to him.
"Mr. Wines?"
''Her father" Linda reminded
him. "He-wants to see you."
Phil came faulty to his feet.
''What about, Linda? Is there any,
thing" He could not shape the
words.
But she shook her head. "No,"
she said. ''It's about letter he's
had from Mr.. Hare. Some money
your fathers sending him."
Phil remembered that his father
had created trust for the old man;
he said miserably, 81 don't want to

hat. "You take care of him. sup

by the showing. Only two passes
