CHAPTER FORTY-TWO

THE LAST half of the concert
Kay was able to give herself up to
the music. She felt so very proud
of Jake. Il hope my baby will be
a boy" she thought, with Jake's
head and Jake's long, graceful
body. Maybe he'll be a pianist like
MS father and / shall be sitting
here 25 years from now, with gray
hair-no, let's make 1t white, it's
70 much more becoming look
ing very regal in black velvet and
my pearls, which well be able to
get back now, and Jake beside me
looking just as distinguished as he
does now. And well glow and try
to hide our full hearts, only we will
have gone through this before"
My baby. Our baby" Now that
the first shock was over, now that
Jake was secure and all set, she
could accept the idea of a baby
with more than mere resignation;
The could accept it with thankful
ness and rejoicing. Maybe Jake
would feel differently about it now,
but she wouldn't tell him for long
lime. He had enough to contend
with for the present.
The last note died out. There was
a pause and then the crowd went
wild. Lets listen to the encores in
the wings" Het said. Jake needn't
know we're there until he Is
through. But hurry up, because
we've got to go all the way around
TO get backstage."
They walked up the aisle, across
the back, started down the other
side. There was a man sitting in a
wheel chair at the back. Kay barely
noticed him as they passed, but
something compelled her to look
around again.
Kay stopped, stayed Het with her
hand.
That's Mr.. Everitt. I want to go
back and speak to him" They both
walked up to the old man.
How do you do, my dears," he
said. This is a happy night" His
voice shook. He looked feeble and
tired, but the light in his eyes was
youthful and bright.
TITS wonderful to see you here"
Kay said. Il didn't know you could
get out like this.
1--WE been in training for this &C.
casion for weeks he said, strain
ing his voice so that he could be
heard above the applause. Il doubt
that I'll ever leave my bed again
But it's worth 1t. see our hopes for
Jonathan were not misplaced"
Jake began playing his first en-
core, a Chopin waltz. The old man
leaned back. closed his eyes and
listened with anaeXpression Of utter
contentment.
That was beautiful" he said
when Jake was through. II mustn't
keep you. know you must be anx-
ious to see your husband. How long
are you going to be in town There
are some practical matters I think
we should discuss. IL seems the
doctors prognosis wasn't so acou-
rate. I'm living beyond my time

Petroleum Administrator Icke,
warned today that oil supplies ir
the East were still "on a hand-to-

tlal interruption of the daily supply
coming into this area would result
IN severe hardship to the public.
Mr.. Ickes said stocks of oil in the
East have continued to decline, but
not quite so much as we had an
ticipated." He added:
I'VE are scraping bottom, but we
expected that. 1t is now something
of erve-Wracking race to get

substantial interruption to the daily

Deputy Administrator Ralph K.

The only new thing to be said
about the current situation is that
we have one less of the critical
weeks to worry about If the
warmer weather of spring should
arrive on schedule. we have only
about two more critical weeks. Until
we have met the heating require
ments OF this season I see no reason
for feeling optimistic and certainly
no reason for relaxing anywhere.

Lumber requirements for 1943 will

shifting from great volume of con-
struction materials to specially and
quality items and to materials for
containers, Grating and shipping.
Lumber is still critical" the de-
partment.s lumber survey commit
tee said in its report, adding that
estimated 1912 consumption was
about ,O0O,0O0,OOO feet, nearly 10
per cent more than in 1941. OF
the estimated 31,000,0O0 900 feet
needed in 1943, 35 per cent is ex-
pected to be used for boxing, Grating
