I . CHAPTER SEVENTEEN AT SUPPER the day Dave came back from the hospital they talked it all over again. "Lucky thing the stove quit while you were gone and Joe didn’t build the fire again. Wouldn’t’ve done, bringing you into a warm room,” Cas said. • "Why don’t you say, I told you so?” ' "What for?” “You warned me. I feel like a foot Thought I was an old camper by now.” “Folks get lost that’ve lived- here 50 years. Mighty deceptive country in a storm, ’specially when the snow’s wet it’s worse’n other kinds. Been turned around in it myself. And lost, too, more than once, for a spelt Sorry we had to cut off that boot.” “I don’t remember spraining my Sikle. I kept falling, I remember at.” Mrs. Rogers said: “Lucky you had the big cap pulled down close and your gloves on—you could’ve been worse frostbit.” i*lt was bad enough,” he said, touching the places gingerly. “Some folks, well, the skin just sloughs off—” Joe said: “I was scarettWhen I hekrd Pop yelling, 1 nearlj' cried. Herb did; when the .doetpr was here, lie burst out bawling.”* “I did not!” denied Herb, scarlet. Their mother said, smiling: “I guess we all felt like crying some. But it could have been a lot worse. Thank God, it wasn’t.” “Amen,” Cas said gravely. “If you’d been out there longer, Dave —we figure it couldn’t have been long; if you’d Jbroke your ankle instead of spraining it; if you’d had a fracture instead of a concussion—” “Hank made me buy that cap—two of ’em, really. I forgot to thank him when he came to the hospital.” , "He don’t expect thanks. Just a happcnchance, his telling you what to get.” “I haven’t thanked anyone—all of you nor the doctor—and I could perhaps have died.” , «• “As to that, takes a Iqt to kill a healthy man," Cas said Quickly. “I remember your skying that we live from day to day. Well, there it is, a debt I can’t repay.” He looked at Joe, who colored as hotly as Herb had a moment ago. He thought of Mrs. Rogers, sitting with him, caring for him; of Cas, coming to take his turn; of the hot, strong home-made soup; of a hundred things. But it would not be to this family’s liking if he burdened them with his gratitude. He thought: How grateful am I? If Jpe hadn't come, if no one had come, until the next day. . . . Cas £gid: “Mrs. Rogers and me, ; we talked it over, how we should maybe call up your brother. She was for it; I thought we better wait. If you hadn’t come to no great harm you might not like our

buttin’ in, and there wasn’t anything he could do then, it would just worry him.” Dave was grateful for the effort, the efficiency, the deep, rock-bot-tom human kindness of his friends; but he was not grateful for life. He thought about it after the Rogers family had gone home. There it was plain as the room under lamplight. After a while he had it pegged down. I couldn’t, of my own act, die, but since Tim died I have no will to live. He checked the stove, extinguished the big lamp, and carried a small one into the bedroom. So that’s the answer, he thought, and yet no answer at all. There was no reason for me to go away, to come here, unless it was to discover only this. For the rest of my life I’ll wonder whether subconsciously I looked for death in the bottle and whether I went qut to meet it in a storm. I may as'well go back and try to tell Emily if I can. But what’s the use? We’d be no further ahead than when we last saw each other. And she isn’t home anyway; she’s whebe she wants to be—what was the word Elwood used, sublimating?—that’s it, sublimating. They say it’s a cure. But if there’s a cure for complete indifference to living, I don’t know what it is, and I suppose I’ll never know. • * • He wrote to Emily, trying to get it into words, taking his time, destroying page after page of inexperienced typing, rereading what he retained, furiously conscious of futility. Finally he shoved it into a long envelope and then found he had no airmail stamps. Later, when Cas stopped by, mildly complaining that his wheels had spun for five on the turn-in, Dave asked him to take the letter when next he went to town. “Ell hack at the ice myself. Do me good. Mind taking the letter, Cas? I’m out of airmail stamps.” When Cas left he wished he hadn’t given him the errand to do. The letter wasn’t worth .the paper it was typed on; he’d told Em nothing positive except that he was in good shape. “I’m grateful for so much,” he’d written and then hesitated, wondering if he should tell her about the storm, saying, I had an accident recently. If it was an accident, he thought. He decided against it; it was i over and done with, no need to rouse anxiety after the event; if at this distance anxiety existed. “I told you I’d try to find out if I’d justification for being alive. I still don’t know the answer, perhaps I never shall You said I couldn’t escape from myself. Jt made me sore; I didn't believe I was trying to escape; it was more like catching up with my s e If, standing still long enough to take stock. But I guess you were right. At least. I’ve learned something here, about other people, a little

Patients At Home Get Well Quicker Home Care Better Than In Hospitals CHICAGO UP —Home care Is better than hospital confinement in some serious diseases, the Journal of the American Medical Association said. Two studies in a recent issue of the magazine for doctors Outlined the advantages tor chronically ill patients and for children with chronic active rheumatic fever. Drs. JJennison Young, White Plains, N. Y ;r and Manuel Rodstein. New xYoyk City, studied 45 children with rheumatic fevhr for 30 months. :j‘ They reported: “When certain initial criteria for home suitability are met, most children with active rheumatic fever and free of congestive heart failure can be' cared for as well at home as in the hospital, with an

about me. I’ve made friends, too. Maybe the time hasn’t all been wasted. Remember, I said, Let me go and if I don’t lick whatever’s licked me, then you won’t want me back? I thought I’d be of even less use to you than to myself then. I still think so. "Em, when are you coming back? If you want, I’ll be home when you get there and we can talk this out, not in a day, nor even perhaps in a week. If I said I’d regained purpose and direction, it wouldn’t be true. But I was in rotten shape last fall. Just being able to eat and sleep and do a day’s work—the sort Os hard, physical work you do up here, if you’re a camper—has made a difference. I think George worried whether, shut away like this, I’d start hitting the bottle again. I haven’t. I can truthfully say that there have been very few times when I’ve even wanted a drink; and I didn’t take one then. I can go back to the office, Em. I don’t say, with any great enthusiasm, but the fact that I can contemplate it at all is I a step forward. George has been very patient; and there aren’t words to say how patient you’ve been.” Now he must wait for the answer. At times he tried to forget that there would be an answer. At other times he looked forward to it with an admixture of curiosity and reluctance. When it came, he’d wonder whether to open it immediately or wait, bracing himself. He’d felt like that before, as a schoolboy, with a letter from his father, almost certain it would contain something unpleasant;—relative to marks or an overdrawn allowance. He’d avoided this with Tim, remembering too clearly his own past reactions. When there was something to be discussed he’d gone up to Daleway and talked it over with his son. Now his situation boiled down to simplicities. He did not wish to return home, yet knew he couldn’t remain here the rest of his life, wouldn’t want to, if he could. Since the beginning there’d been times when solitude and camping had palled; eventually his present life would become as routine—and unsatisfactory—as his past. Yet it was \hard to imagine leaving here, nejver to return. He thought, I wonder if Dan Peters would sell? Hfe might have changed his. mind or be persuaded to. Not that I want to be held up for more than it’s worth. I’ll talk it over with Cas, then speak to Hank, and maybe make an offer. He did so. Cas said thoughtfully that sooner or later Dan would sell. “He hasn’t given any signs of cornin’ back to live.” He added: “No one I’d rather see have the place, Dave.” t Hank said much the same thing, adding that he’d write Peters. “Won’t do to appear too anxious. I’ll sound him out.” (To Be Continued J .
