with ever greater beauty. Now there was only
one rose in full blossom. 1t was dark red,
almost purple, and had a scent that no other
rose ever had. There was something exotic
about her Solaja roses. They had to be coaxed
through cold weather. and covered up, and
pampered. Verify adored them.
She came near to the great red rose now,
and something about it struck her. Seeing it
closer, her heart began to beat in dismay
The rose was dropping 1t looked sick. There
was no reason for this; the weather had been
perfect, and yesterday she had remarked
that Solaja had been just ready to bloom to
her fullest and best. She had looked forward
to that moment of efflorescence
SHE stopped over the dropping rose in con-
Germ, and then she cried out, "Oh darling"
to the flower. Someone had put out ciga-
rette in its heart! The butt was still there,
embedded in the silken sheen of the tender
petals. The rose was dead 1t had shriveled
turing the night
Miss Verify stood looking at it, tears rum
ning down her face. Suddenly anger stirred
in her - unaccustomed anger - like that of
her youthful ardors and enthusiasms. She
stopped and cut the stem of the rose with the
gardening scissors which she always kept in
her handbag. Then she strode into her cottage.
Her nephew was talking at the telephone.
Long distance. of course! Talking to some
girl. He didn't hear Miss Verity's light steps.
He was saying: Sorry. baby, but l can't
make it. I've got to stick around and play up
to the old girl. Mother thinks she has lot
of dough hidden away. It's worth some
trouble"
The anger that had been in Miss Verity's

were for the young. for young Tony and his
meanness, for all disillusioned youth.
She sat down, moving the box aside, ana
under it she saw paper which had been sent
to her the day before, and which she had not
yet had time to study. 1t was list of names
from the military hospital, sent to her at her
own request, in order to find out what they
were doing in therapy for the wounded men.
Her eye ran down the list of names and hob
bies until it reached:
Lieutenant Larry Carson, hobby garden
ing" She sat very still for a moment, and then
she put on her spectacles took out her foun-
tain pen, and began to write...

She became calm and cold and collected Sh,
was nobody's fool, and she had been, unit
now, willing to take a chance on her
only remaining relatives. Her will had
been made in their favor But now,
staring into young Tonys frightened,
furious eyes, she said, "You will pack
your things you and your mother, and
leave my house"
She held the rose out before her ina
hand that shook with age, but not at all
with weakness. Young Tony stared at
the wilted flower. Last night he had
laughed about treating one of the old
girls roses as it deserved. Now he was
frightened. Esther appeared in the door
of the living room. She had heard Miss
Verity's words. She began an oily in
tervention. Their voices rose.
Martha, the maid who had been with
Miss Verify for forty years, came out
of her kitchen. She looked at Miss
Verify, and in their eyes was perfect
understanding. She said, "You heard!
Git!" She stsod, arms akimbo. If necessary,
she could easily have put them, with their
flabby muscles, out of the house bodily.
Miss Verify started to climb the stairs, the
rose in her hand. She paid no more attention
to her relatives She knew Martha would
have them out inside an hour.
She went into her room, closed the door,
and laid the rose on her shining desk Tears
once more filled her eyes. She took box from
her bureau drawer, lifted out the amber
beads which it held and laid the rose in it,
with the cigarette stubbed out in its lovely
heart She was still crying, but now it was in

Larry came along the street with his pipe
in his mouth, looking for the number of Miss
Verity's house. His emotions were mixed.
Evening star., 1945-06-17

Miss Verify was watching him from behind
the curtains. She had just happened to be
looking out at her garden when he came along
the street. She felt little bad about watching
him in secret, but she went on doing it.
Excitement was in her too, and she was trenl-
bling little more than usual.
Larry started to walk up the path to the
door, but he turned aside, strolled over to
the Solaja roses, and stopped down again
stif1y, studying the two little buds that stood
proudly on each side of the mutilated roses

marker, but Miss Verify never marked her

Being young, he had sense of excite
ment, but he was also veteran of this
war, and had seen a lot of life in too
short a time. He wondered if Sill was
right, or if it wasn't gag after all.
He was watchful.
He stopped by instinct in front of
Miss Verity's house to look at the roses.
They were an odd color; their scent
came softly to him and mingled with
the tobacco fumes. Then he noticed
that the number over the porch was
the same as the one in her letter, and
his excitement changed to something
deeper, feeling of fate or something.
He KNEW he was being sentimental,
and he smiled in derision at himself.
Looking at the house thoughtfully, he
stopped with some difficulty and
knocked out his pipe against his shoe,
before he pushed open the gate.
