of plants assigned to her. She Vas
awkward at first. but as she
worked on her hands began to
achieve an almost automatic pre-

scarcely daring to straighten her
aching back, because from the
corner Of her eye she saw how
swiftly and efficiently the others
worked.
Time wore on; she finished the
first row and looked back and
could not believe that there had
been so much discomfort, such
aching WEAKNESS in just filling
one short row. Finished. the row
seemed ridiculously short: but
facing a new one, it seemed to
stretch endlessly away from Gail
and her heart sank at The thought
that it was just one Of many more

was done.

Gail made herself grin wryly.

dragged herself upstairs and into

unwilling respect.
