Il know, dear-I know. It's been
so many years, so long to wait
and just because I won that prize
and could buy that little place for
my mother and yours. They'll make
good at it, too. They know about
chickens. and they'll have their
garden, and they'll have fun put
ting up preserves and jellies and
things"
Orwin, with a touch Of tender
ness that had in it nothing even
family theatrical, lifted her hand
and set his lips to an ink spot on
her forefinger.
Isn't 1t absurd-that ink spot?
I've never been able TO get rid OF
it-teaching school II years, and
still getting ink on my fingers"
She tried to sound gay and bright
II love it-just as love every
thing about you" said Orwin. II
love you because you're so good
and so kind and so gentle. That
means lot to man. Lucy-that a
woman be gentle and good, as you
are"
She smiled at him, misty-eyed.
ITS easy to be gentle and kind
to a man like you. Orwin. You're
so good. You've always been such
devoted son; you've brought up
those fatherless brothers and sis
tiers and seen them educated and
started out in life--and I know 1t
wasn't easy. It used to almost
break my heart TO see you have to
work so hard and never have any,
thing for yourself because there
were so many places for your
money to go"
And so little money to go!" said
Orwin, and smiled at her.
She looked about her at the
small, gay, compact house; out
through the open window beside
her at the close-crowding jungle
that was misty and exotic in the
dusk; she listened to the tireless
pounding Of the surf on the beach,
and drew great sigh Of utter con-
tent.
"Oh, Orwin, we have so much to
be thankful for" she whispered.
We have each other-and / won
that $4,000 prize. Imagine ME, q
New England school teacher, actu-
ally winning fourth prize in a ma.
tion-wide contest like thatl And
being able to get our mothers es-
tablished on little farm so they
could be self-supporting and we
could be marrled-and now, as
perfect finish, this heavenly spot
for our honeymoon! It's like a love-
ly dream. isn't II? A beautiful mir
acle."
And then Orwin said what was
probably the most romantic, the
most dramatic, speech Of his entire
life. He said, The most beautiful

could ever manage TO fall In love
with me! And that you could wait

Bill came over and stood behind

drew her back until her head rest

her face about until her mouth lay
just beneath his own and his kiss
