Are you sure you want me to sell the place
for you?" Sans voice came to her above the
rafting of the car
Positive Martha told him. When you

That will be enough"
Martha Calhoun was forty eight. She looked
ten years older. This she credited to spiritual
starvation that had endured for thirty years.
She'd always longed for garden, and now she
was going to have one. She'd find beauty. as
Johnny had, in the soft petal of rose, in the
lars would be enough
We're almost to town. Sam said. You
sure you've got everything you want?"
Everything, ~ Martha said, and she meant it.
lHREE days later, Martha stepped from the
train in the shed of New Yorks Pennsylvania
station. The crowd carried her through the
gates into a cavernous room and then
Martha felt someone lift her bodily suitcase
and ALL
Nom" Johnny cried in voice shaken with
feeling. you haven't changed bit in eight
years! In fact, you look younger
Il feel younger" Martha beamed. Then, her
face SOLDERING, when - when can l see the
pcture?"
Nov wait a minute!'' Johnny laughed.
There's plenty of time to see the picture.
You've had a long hard trip and you're tired
and ="
Il want to see it now Johnny" Martha
said fatty.
Johnny shrugged his resignation, and twenty
minutes later he was leading her up broad steps
and into an aura of hushed reverence she had
never known before. Her heart beat little
faster as they walked through the soft light,
and she could feel the presence of greatness
about her.
IHEY moved into dinl-lit room and Johnny
stopped This is it," he whispered.
Martha stood transflxed.
She was looking at parched and paint
hungry buildings and drab sweep of sand and
withered brush that stretched to the barren
mountains in the distance. She was breathing
dust and feeling the agony of thirst -crazed
cattle kneeling at dried-up water hole. She
was knowing the majesty of nature and under
standing the meaning of courage, and seeing
the promise of better things to come.
And she was hearing Johnny's whispered
voice beside her: I'm going home with you,
Nom | want to paint the things love and
understand The little ordinary things that are
full of meaning" The End

Sans implication was fair Could she take the
credit for Johnny's success? True, she'd sent
him money when she could i'll afford it, but
that had been drop in the bucket Johnny had
really fought his own battle. A Guggenheim
fellowship had seen him through his advanced
study and given him year in Europe.
But on one point Martha was willing to take
full credit. She'd recognized talent in Johnny's
first pencil sketches, and she had encouraged
it.
She'd watched that talent develop, incon-
gruous as the bloom of cactus, until she
could stand it no longer. How could hunger
for beauty find sustenance in surroundings
such as these?
At all COSTS she must get Johnny away from
this drab, soul-shriveling scene.
So, when he was eighteen, Johnny was sent
to New York State, where there were trees
and green hills and rivers and lakes and flowers
and the cleanest of air to breathe.
