ager.
It's true, Mr.. Stafford explains,
that the through BUSES to Han
ford will not come into Kenne-
wick for a regular stop, although
stops will be made on the high
way. The Richland BUSES, which
make 10 round trips day will
have a Kennewick stopping place
and the shuttle bus between here
and Pasco will also use the same
loading location.
Buses for Pasco and for Rich
land will leave every hour be-
tween in the morning and II
at night, making 10 trips each
day. In addition half hour serv-
ice will be available during the
peak hours morning and evening
for both terminals. The routes
to Hanford will also run on an
hourly schedule.
The company is seeking loca-
ton here for a terminal which will
likely be located somewhere north
of the main business street to
avoid the stops.

car parked before the opposite
drug store. Presently Mrs. Wa
tiers came out, the drug clerk
trailing after her with package.
He slowed it under the seat and
to Kitty and Hervey the car ap-
peared to be loaded to the roof
with parcels.
Across the street Mrs. Waters
hesitated, considered the grocery,
changed her mind about buying
another box of bacon. She was
already late, if she didn't get up
to the cabin by noon the chances
were that she would have to drive
back in the dark.

The road all the way to Coats
vile was in fair condition but at
that hamlet Mrs. Waters was OBJ
liged to turn left and continue
along a dirt road, badly rutted
and bordered by second-growth
scrub into which all the dirt and
trash of uncounted winters had
been blown by tidy winds. There
were only two houses between
Coatsville and her cabin and
neither of these had ever tempt
ed Mrs. Waters to stop and make
the acquaintance of her neigh
bors. She glanced now at the
sagging farmhouse, set far back
in the stubble of the corn field
she was passing. Each time she
saw this house a few more bricks

had fallen from the chimney and
more rags had been substituted
for missing windowpanes.
Her own place didn't look much
better, she admitted to herself
when she drove into the yard
through a wide gap in the dis
reputable picket fence. Mrs. Wa
tiers shivered as she stepped out
of the car and fumbled in her
purse for the key to the paddock.
She opened the heavy, Scared
door and stepped into the room
which was a combination of liv-
ing and dining room, kitchen and
storeroom. For a moment her
eyes blinked then they became
adjusted to the dim light.
''Why - why, for heavens
sake!" she cried aloud.
Something dark and swift ran
across the floor and leaped to the
rafterS overhead. She made a
bargain with herself not to look
around until she had her fire
built and had brought in the sup
plies from the car. The inside
shutters were not closed, as she
had left them, but swung tipsily
open. The clutter of dishes and
pans on the rough hewn table
she had never seen before. The
cupboard doors were unlatched-
but there would be time enough
to consider these things when she
had a good fire going. It was not

CHAPTER K

Emma Waters said with unpre-
meditated brutality, 'How could
you raise morale?"
"Young men would listen to
me, because my record shows that
I didn't shirk my duty in the last
war. If I had a son I could look
him in the face today and say,
My boy, I didn't hesitate-why
should your"
'They say it's almost impossi-
BILE to get any more bobby pins"
Mrs. Waters let her section of the
paper slide from her brown cor
duroy robe to the floor. 'That
reminds mel must get up to
the cottage and look at our things.
You never did get me those locks
you promised, King"
He said that he would get them
the next day. 1--WE been intend
ing to pick up two or three sec
ondhand padlocks from old Pep
percorn. He has a drawer full of
locks and keys. He may have
sold them all to that junkman
friend of his, though the two
of them are as thick as thieves"
Mrs. Waters pushed hopelessly
at her hair which needed to be
set. If they had followed her
plan when they had first moved
into the building, they would
have been better off today, she
complained. It had always been
her policy not to know any of the
families in the apartment house
where they might live and until
they took this place, they'd not
had even a nodding acquaintance
with their neighbors. "Now ev-
eryone knows our business, or
would if I didn't use my head.
You can't buy an extra pound OF
sugar that someone in the house
doesn't comment on it. And
since Pearl went into factory
work, I've thought of having III
ther-she works for Mrs. Thane,
you know. But I don't dare. It
was bad enough with Pearl for
she told Toni Fits everything she
could. With Either if she saw an
extra bar of soap or a box of can
dies, or a dozen pairs of stockings
put away, the news would be all
over the house in fifteen min
utes. I've got to get perfectly
strange girl and run the risk of
her stealing everything she can
lay her hands on"
King Waters slid expertly
away. Evidently he was head
ing for the grocery store. He said
to a man held up with him at the
curb, "a few privations, more or
less, mean little to me. I served
in the last war and we did with
out practically everything at the
front. A sugar shortage can't
down a man who's been without
drinking water forty hours at a
stretch"
The whole trouble now, King
Waters thought, shifting his hea-
Wy package to ease the weight
was that everyone was too com
Portable. Why, even the boys in
camp had it far better than their

daddies had-they did a heap less
marching for instance. A me-
chanized army never would
realize what the infantry units in
the last war had endured, King
told himself as he let himself in
to his apartment.
I'm the kitchen!' his wife call
ed.
He set down his burden with a
sigh of relief. Three dozen cans
of pineapple juice were all he
had been able to buy. "The gro
Gerry manager made a fuss about
giving me that much. Said he'd
have more in next week. I said,
If that's the case, I'll take these
now, without feeling that I'm
stripping YOU"
Mrs. Waters frowned. She had
not been able to get the brand OF
canned peas they liked. All the
best canned stuff, she asserted,
was going to England! IF we
starve, that's all right. Or If we
try to put aside a few cans for
our own use, that's boarding. I'm
going to buy tomato juice tomor-
row, because I read they're send
ing that to England to take place
of the oranges they can't get"
I'VE can't take all this stuff up
| in one trip" her husband object
ed, eying the bags and boxes and
tins on the kitchen table and in
the opened cupboards.
She knew, Mrs. Waters sighed
'But I have to buy when I can
The clerks are getting nastier all

The Thames wouldn't butt in
King dissented, the Peppercorns

that we'd buy eventually, any
way. This way, we buy more al
one time, that's all"
Sarah Daffodil did not view
the situation quite as charitably
as that, indeed she confided that
it raised her blood pressure tc
