Mother was waiting when we got
back to the house. Dad shook the rain
from his hat, then hung it on nail.
Mother looked at him, waiting.
Dad heaved a sigh. "It's all right.
Hattie" he said. They found the
money there"
"You mean - you had -"
Dad nodded. He walked on into the

sitting room and spread his hands to
the heat of the stove. ''Old Jake was
mean." he said, with a cold cal
culating sort of meanness. He wanted
it to keep on working even after he
was dead and gone. He wanted the
body discovered, but not until it was
too late to question him. He had
planned things the way he wanted
them - and died with grin, thinking
he had hung his own sonr'
Then" Mother said quietly. ''the
body seas there?"
Dad nodded again.
Il was pretty sure, but dug down
to see. When 4 filled the hole, left
the Jug knew when they hit it
they wouldn't dig no more" He
paused. Once more there was little
twitching at his jaw. "Thi,teen hundred

Mother said nothing. She reached
out and pressed his hand.
Dad still stood staring at the wall.
Suddenly he glanced at me. For
moment his face softened. He took
out his pocketbook and fshed out
three worn one-dollar bills. He fished
again and found two quarters and a
half. Then he handed them to me.
Take it, son." he said, "and get
that brass-lined twenty-five. 1t will be
kind of nice to take along when you
start clearing that north forty in the
morning."
