V T WENT back to the morning room and vindictive thoughts started to crowd in on me. Wriy do nice people have to be such self-sacrificing idiots, I wondered. I stopped aghast, then, and re membered for the first time in a long time my Tvliss Jenny and Mr. Willson. Had some rebellious thought of mine twisted their lives? Was that same line of rea soning perhaps showing itself now in Betsy? For Betsy at twenty-two was being a problem child for the first time in her life. I hadn't had much time that day to worry about Betsy, but now I sat down and thought about her. She was seeing too much of Pen Downes. Fletch had told her that on his last leave, adding, "He's bad meat for any girl, Bets." Now Pen Downs, I thought, would have been right for Phil lipa. Pen Downes was an artist who looked like a professional tennis player. He was dark and lean and hard and had a quick way of moving that made me think that if he only had a cape he would lock like Mephistopheles. I think he could charm a bird off a bcugh if it were a female. He had bought "Long Meadow," the old Barclay place that adjoined ours on the other side of the quarry after he came back from the Pacific war zone.

Edison started all of this with his invention of the first electric light. But his contribution to the benefit of mankind did not end with his death. His inventions opened the way' for those who followed him to improve and per fect his inventions, until today, in the field of lighting, scientists have virtually moved the stzn indoors. Lighting equipment and lamps for every type of see ing condition, as well as X-ray, bacteria control and other lighting developments to safeguard human . health, to increase human efficiency and to further industrial production, are in common use. As we pay tribute to this gre.it emancipator on the ninety-ninth anniversary of his birth, it is fitting to remember that his inventions in lighting were only a small phase of hb contributions to better living for the people of the world. His inventions and discoveries extend into countless fields of modern science and industry. fclW SERVING ANS SUPPORTING NtBXASKA COMMUNf7lS jty? K$v SS? SjPi ek sMf i' , . .

He hadn't just painted his part in the war; he had been with the armed forces until malaria had invalided him home about a year before. There was a Mrs. Penfield Downes some where in the background, very vaguely in the background but nevertheless there. Conveniently so, l imagine, on occasion. Cook came in just then and asked how many there would be for lunch. I guessed four, but I was wrong. Neither Mr. Willson nor Fletch came back and Dru had seme jellied consomme in the libraiy. T TOOK my nap after lunch, but slept only a short while and when I woke, I felt bewildered and frightened, as though some thing terrible had happened and I couldn't remember what it was. I thought I must have had a bad dream which had slipped away from me in my first waking mo ment, leaving only a sense of dread. I didn't like it; it frightened me and I went looking for some one to whom to talk. There was no one in the house except Dru The practical sound of her type writer was comforting. She stopped tming when I came in and asked, "Will I disturb you, Dru, if I sit in here with you?" She said, "Of course not, Nana 111 be glad to have you, but I'm not good company today, not even for myself." Then she said, wish those whistles would stop screaming in the vatitr- They've been doin2 it for three days and it iust isn't going to rain." It was the very thing that I had been thinking and I jumped like a frightened cat. There is some thing peculiar about our valley. We always know when it is going to rain by the hollow screaming of the train whistles. It is a lost soul kind of sound, and as Dru said, thev had been screamine fcr Hale Named L.T.&T. rnmmprrinl Sunt. Merle M.

I got out my knitting and Dru went back to her letters. We sat that way for about an hour ana then Fletch came in. His face was gray tired and his army shut was wet and wrinkled across his back. "T'VE been looking for the boys," he said. "I can't find lhm. have gone everywhere I can think of." Dru said, "I wouldn't worry. rhil will probably brmg tnem bad: tonight." He looked up at her and gave a nastv littie laugh, "lhats just wishful thinking, Dru. You know Phil." He ran his hands through his hair. "I'm so tired of this hell we live in and I can't understand why she wants' to keep it up. We've had six years of it but she won't hear of a divorce. Says shell fight me every step of the way. I would have cleared out long ago if it weren't for the boys." He stood up and Dru got up, too, and went to him. "Oh. my dear," she said. So swiftly they were in each other's arms' that it was like the merger of shadow and substarce when you quickly move a lamp. Dru is almost as tall as Fletch and he rested his cheek against the top of her head and there they stood quietly holding each other. And it seemed to me to be completely righf. There was no need fcr worcs between these two. Words are not needed when love is deep and strong and real. Fletch finally spoke, "We can't go on this way, Dm." "We have to go on th:s way," she answered. "There isn't any other way for us." I wanted to kick the stool at my feet. Dru was being noble again. Fletch said, "We're both wrong. There isn't time either to do any thing or to go on, but when I tome back, things will be differ ent." That cool, arrogant voice sa'd from the doorway. "Oh, they will, will they?" and Phillipa, still in riding clothes, came into the room.
