caught on to the spirit of things in
spite Of herself. 1t developed that
they weren't going to the country
right away. They were going to
church first. Anne, thought back
over the few times she had been to
church since she came to New York,
and said she'd love to go along.
1t was rather surprising. consid-
ering the way she had neglected it,
that a man like Geoff had been so
faithful But then Geoff said. You
see. Anne. I'm not letting Ding-ding
lead too sinful life even if I do let
him stay up late. We got religion,
haven't we. Ding -ding?"
The boy said, Sure. I like the
music. But it's different than Pops
band"
So they went to early mass, in a
little neighborhood church. Anne
tied the scarf over her head and
they sat in the back because of the
way they were dressed. 1t was very
strange and solemn and beautiful,
Anne thought, and when she looked
at Geoff and Ding ding kneeling to-
gether in the mellow church light
that always softens everything she
felt tightness in her throat She
knelt, too, and made some half
formed resolutions.
When they came out of the
church, the sun had miraculously
come out. The air had lost its damp

the car and got the top on before 1t
started to come down. Black clouds
rolled over the west an the trees
whispered in the cold breeze that
seemed to blow In with the wind
and their picnic grounds grew
lonely and desolate.
Ding-ding held Annes hand
tightly as they bumped over the
muddy road. The raindrops grew
heavier. making swift. beating noises
on the canvas top. The little yellow
car, groaned and baked painfully
over the steep ruts and heavy mud.
Once we get on the highway"
Geo1 said loudly over the rain.
whipped wind, well be all right"
Anne nodded encouragingly, bracing
herself against the pitching motions
Of the car.
Walk Mile in Rain.
But they weren't all right on the
highway. for when they swung out
onto the concrete away from the
shelter OF overhanging trees the
car went a scant fifty feet and
stopped. They rolled toward the side
Of the road and all Geof1's desperate
efforts failed to rouse the motor. 1t
was completely dead no re-
sponse at all, and Geof1. swearing
silently, gave up trying. He said:
Its no good, the wires are wet.
Happens every time the old jalopy
meets up with q heavy dew"
Anne tried to be comforting.
well, car ought to come along
pretty soon and give us a push or
something. We can just wait here"
But Geof1 said push wouldn't do
much good. The best thing for him
to do would be to try and hitch
hike to the next town and get them
toWed in.
Geof argued. but in the end they
all went. Geoff carried Ding ding
wrapped in one Of the cars blankets
and Anne wort the other one
around her shoulders. 1t was less
than a mile to the first small town
but it seemed like hours Of plodding
through the rain before they reached
1t.
There was no one in sight, the
street was deserted and the only
light in town came from the clouded
window Of large, frame building

with the words Union Hotel In faded
gilt over the door. So they went
in, stomping up the wooden stairs
and into the warm room where a
lean-faced white-haired man sat
listening to the radio. Geod told
him about the car and he said,
wal, I got the only tow-in-car In
town, but I never do any work at
night like this. See, own this
hotel and have to stay here and
tend to It,"
Stay Overnight.
Geon was impatient. That's fine
can't you get somebody else to
take care Of your hotel for half an
hour? What are we supposed to do
until the rain stops?"
Wal" the mans eyes twinkled,
II reckon yew could stay here to-
night. We got nice rooms -. in
expensive"
Geof1 fumed around at first but
there wasn't anything else he could
do because the man refused to let
any one else drive the towing car.
Anne thought 1t was kind OF funny
and she said 1t was all right with
her. So they rented two rooms,
which was q gratifying surprise to
the hotel man who had expected to
rent only one.
Anne was in her room combing out
her wet hair when Geofi knocked
at the door. 'Ding-ding wants to
say goodnight to you," he called.
When she went In, there was Ding
ding dressed In a long white night
gown that the management had pro-
vided Geof turned of all the lights
except a dim one in the corner and
Ding ding sighed contentedly. Anne
knelt by the bed and talked TO him
and when she said goodnight,
Ding ding reached up his warm,
round arms and kissed her sleepily.
He said, &c night, Mom," and then
he was asleep.
