Sam Blaisdell from the side door of the post
Office, limping slightly under the weight of
the bulging leather pouch slung from his
shoulder stopped little with the years.
He passed the drugstore, crossed where the
plaza lay dreaming in the sun, and turned
down toward the homes nesting between
the curving hills.
The town was old, with street names that
sang like Spanish serenade. 1t was there
long before the railroad came, and the rail-
road had passed it by; the depot was three
miles down the highway. Unless the wind
was wrong you could hear the trains whist
ling, sound mellowed by the brown hills,
far enough away to awake only vague
nostalgia A crumbling tile-roofed mission
stood against the shoulder of the nearest
hill, and the olive trees behind it changed
from gray to silver when the wind stirred
their leaves.
There were oaks shading the crooked
streets, wearing the quiet dignity attained
only by venerable, deeply-rooted things;
there we're tangles of climbing roses spilling
color over weathered fences.
When you walked this way as often as
Sam Blaisdell, you learned to know all
these things and to share their memories
On this side of the mission few of the origi-
nal adobe dwellings still stood; beyond were
houses of another era - two-storied, with

was on at an open window: he heard a snatch
of war news, and thought of the two tele-

Telegrams aint al,oays bad neps, he told
himselfs but that broadcast had mentioned
something about casualties and disturbed
feeling came to him. He put magazine
into Mrs. Lindsay's mailbox, and wondered
how long it would be before the young men
came home again. Of late his rheumatism
had been worse than common. And some
times the mailbag seemed heavy

him. He dropped seed catalog behind the

Mostly bills. Always like that around the
first of the month. And Gus johnson was
wrestling furniture into rented truck,
yonder; Gus was having to move and get a
shipyard job because gas rationing had
ruined his little filling station business.
Sam timed his passing so that Gus would
be inside the house: he didn't feel like
talking
But a block farther on, he had to talk
for ten minutes to explain to the wife OF
Manuel Gonzales how money orders could
be cashed. When he rang the bell to deliver
an insured parcel to white-haired Mrs.
