Tree shadows made a mosaic on the walls. A soft light showed behind drawn curtains in the dining room. The tiont door Stood open and ' faintly from the rear came the soundd ot dishes being washed. Sharply bld pictures rose up in his mind; Eden in that kitchen, her face flushed and glowing as she triumphantly pulled a fluffy, golden pie from the oven. Where had that glow gone? he wondered. , \ “You were a cute baby, Deke," he said suddenly. “We had fun in that house.” .. i- *T dbn’t remembdr much;" he ad- “ mitted, “only my trike that Christmas ahd the time you bought the ice-cream freezer.” “Anil you sucked so much ice you got colic. Remember the time we got the house painted?” *’Oh| goshi yes! And I climbed up the ladder arid was scared to come down. You came all the way home and got me down and you let Mom spank me.” “Can you remember all that. Deke? That was nine years ago." ?Yeah, 1 remember.” Garrison started the car. There was something restful about this quiet, middle-class street—no big houses, no landscaped grounds, no blatk metal signs on little posts with' the owner’s name conservatively lettered in gold. “Let’s get some hot dogs. I’m kinda hungry,” suggested Deke. “You didn’t eat your dinner. We Won’t, have-;- any more discussions at mealtime. Bad for you kids.”: ,! )\ ’I "Wpll, heck, we belong to the family, don't we?

“We aren't goirig to get divorced, spn. We’ll work out our problems together, all of us together.’* “People do get divorced, all the time. Aunt Laura did. Pop; let’s go see Aunt Laura.

I see a light," Deke said as they approached her house. Harrison was a trifle Embarrassed when Laura’s door opened and he saw Jim Eliot sitting there. They; had been playing a card game and Laura had spilled her i hand J on the floor when she got up to open the door. She cried, “Why, Harris Blayde’ How nice! And you too, you old scoundrel!" She gave Deke a playful poke in the nose. “Come along in. I was trying to teach this big dope how to play canasta. Have a cheeri and rest your hat, as they say m South Carolina." "Deke and I were cruising arouihd town and we saw your light" Harri Son explained. “How are you. Eliot?” He shook hands. “AnV; luck?"’ i . , “She talks too fast.” Eliot laughed. J ‘ ■ , “Dake, you come .help me bust out the ice cub*s. 1 always ruin at least 'one ' fingernail.” When Laura and the boy had disappeared; into the tiny [kitchen, Eliot leaned resting his elbows Among the scattered cards. “I-think Gaines will be ready to closed by Mondayr" he said. "I hope to salvage about ten thousand dollars for you, and it will be cash.’* “Good work!” Harrison expelled a lojig breath ot relief. "I won’t take’ so much ot a beating as I thought. I’ll lose ab|aut ten thousand; counting six years’ interest, but ; ws. have J to charge off six years’ rent dt the house against that; „ By the way, you’d better make it clear that we’ll need sixty days.
