"HE ward was cool in the half-light of
early morning. The other children we're
still asleep, but Tucker lay wide awake.
This was a special day - the day that Jim
was coming again, after four long months!
At the thought of seeing Jim, Tucker
swallowed hard. He felt like crying, he was 50
glad, but a big guy, seven years old, who'd
been through all he'd been through couldn't
cry just because his dad was coming. could
he? Well, maybe he could - if his dad was
all he had, and especially when jim was the
best dad in the world.
The ward was lighter now. He looked
across the aisle. That girl was still asleep.
Tucker eased himself up on his elbow and
looked at her. Boy, she was pretty! Fat.
yellow clrls, and he could see her eyelashes
clear from here. He looked at her for long
time, for he was always interested in that bed.
from seeing anything but the feet of the
neighboring beds, for the glass didn't start
until halfway up The bed across the way
was the only one he could get chummy with.
Suddenly the girl opened her eyes and looked
straight at Tucker. He grinned at her. Hi"
She regarded him curiously, then said
cautiously, Hello"
Whats the matter with you?" Tucker
asked. He had to know that. If it was just
tonsils, she'd not be worth bothering with.
Tonsils only stayed day. but if she was an
operation or St. Vitus or something, she'd
be here for while.
Evening star., 1941-11-02

She was too quiet for a St. Vitus though.
The girl looked him over carefully before
she answered. I've had pneumonia Up on
the fourth floor I'm better now and was
lonesome 50 the doctor said should be moved
down here with the others to keep me from
getting - uh - out of hand"
oh" Tucker didn't know just what 'out
of hand" was but the girl seemed to know.
Whats your name, and how old are you?"
Brenda Forsythe, and I'm seven."
Som IT. Tucker beamed. And I've been
here two years. A horse fell on me and hurt
my legs. I've had punches of operations, he
added, seeing the gratifying amazement in
her eyes. Say my dad is coming today!
haven't seen him for four months'
Brenda pushed her curls back loftily.
well. my daddy would never leave me for
four months. and my mother never left the
hospital when was 50 sick. l had three
