CHAPTER EIGHTEEN WADE was waiting in the hall as she re-entered the house. He leaned upon his crutch, contrasted in his helplessness with her recent glimpse of Adam. “If 1 could just get out add look myself— ’* he began. She thrust the unfair comparison from her mind. “Adam has gone,” she told him. “Don’t worry. Jemmy can’t have gone far. The important thing is what are we going to do when he comes back." He, returned her look cooly. “You realize that you have brought this whole thing upon us with your foolish act Why didn't you tell me what you were planning to do?" “Because I wanted Jemmy to have a dog," she said, and went past him up the stairs. She could hear the silver bell chiming its summons from the parlor again as she went into her room. The puppy had left a puddle in the middle of the floor and he had managed to get a corner of the bed-quilt between his sharp little teeth and make a nice pulpy mess. Lora sighed and went about cleaning up. “It’s a good thing I’m convinced that you’re worth all thia trouble you’re causing,” she said. When she had taken off her things, she locked the puppy in the room again and went down to the parlor. Wade and his mother were in conversation there and the old lady looked up angrily when Lora came in. Surprisingly, Wade smiled at his wife. “I’m trying to persuade mother that if we keep this little dog out of her sight and train it well from the beginning it will really not be much bother and will not intrude upon her at aIL Apparently it means a great deal to Jemmy." “He should not be rewarded for running away," said Mrs. Tyler. “In any event no further argument or discussion is possible. 1 will not have a dog in this house and that to final.” Lora went closer to the hearth and sat down on a low footstool, but her gaze did not leave the old woman's face. “Did you never have a pet of your own as a child?” she asked gently. “My father did not believe it healthy to keep animals in the house. I agree with him thorough-

ly. When my husband was alive beasts overran the place and I wanted only to be rid of them.” “Then I’m very sorry for you,” Lora said. “You’ve missed so much. Doc —my father, that is—always said a boy couldn’t grow up healthy unless he had a dog to love him." “Then your father was not a doctor I would care to consult,” Mrs. Tyler snapped. That was probably true, Lora thought, though she said nothing. Doc’s notions would likely have shocked such a patient. Before Mrs. Tyler could find further words the doorbell rang again and Lora sprang to her feet. "That must be Adam. Perhaps 33 But Mother Tyler’s words stopped her before she reached the door. "Remember —the dog goes." “No," said Wade, “he stays.” Lora forgot the door and turned quickly, her eyes on Wade’s flushed face. “Do you mean that?" ± "The dog stays," he said again, looking at hto mother. “He stays or Lora and Jemmy and I leave this house.” They could hear Ellie in the hall, then Adam's voice. Lora pulled open the parlor door and saw Adam stamping the snow from his feet on the mat, with Jemmy, little and cold beside him. •Jemmy!'' she cried. “Come quickly where it’s warm. You’ve frightened us alt Come in, Adam.” She did not realize until she had spoken that she had dropped the "Mr.” but formality did not seem to matter now. Adam drew Jemmy into the warm room with him and said good morning to Wade and his mother. “I found this young man on his way to Camp Herndon down on the fiat*. He was going to enlist in the Union army as a drummer boy. It took a bit of persuading to get him to believe that they aren't taking drummers quite so young as yet." ‘TH make them take me." Jemmy looked about him with stormy eyes. "The puppy will SSss you, darling,” Lora said. “He's upstairs in my room waiting for you now.” Jemmy’s eyes widened in disbelief. “But Grandmother —F

Answers To Questions On Income Tax Return

(Editor's note: You have Until midnight April 16 to file your federal income tax return for 1955 without penalty. Thio la the first of fife articles providing down-to-earth answers to questions most often asked by taxpayers. The series was prepared in cooperation with the internal revenue service.) By FELIX COTTEN' Washington hns) — Congress made no substantial changes In the income tax law in 1955. But the old puzzlers arise again when you start work on your tax return. Among the most frequent questions are those dealing with dependents. Q. My wife earned less than 8600 in 1955, and is filing a separate return to get a refund of the tax withheld from her earnings. Can I claim her as a dependent? Does she have to file a return? A. Neither a husband nor wife can ever claim the other as a dependent Assuming she is under 65, she is entitled to the 8600 personal exemption, just as you are, and this cannot be transferred. If she has reached 65, the exemption is 81,800. If a husband and wife file separate returns, each must claim his own personal exemption. Os course, if you file a joint return you will take full advantage of the tax withheld from her earnings. Otherwise, she will have to file a separate return to get a refund on the withheld tax. But she Is not required to file a return. If your wife had no income* during the year, you ean still file a joint return. Or you can include her exemption on your return, provided, of course, she was not the dependent of some other taxpayer. - There is a different rule in the case of children. If your child earned 8600 or more during 1955. you- can claim him as a dependent if yo.u provided more than half his support and if he attended school five months during the year. If the child is under 19, school attendance is not required. Q. I am one of three brothers, and together we support our mother, but no one provides more than half her support. May one of us claim her as a dependent? A. Yes. Any one of you who more than Iff per cent of her support can take her as'a dependent, provided he files with his return a statement from the other two that neither of them is claiming her as a dependent. This rule holds, provided all three bf you together furnished more than support. J t J QflSH* old friend of mins W ill an# had no income dining 1956.

"Your father say* you are to keep him, Jemmy. Wade, tell him so!"« He turned a look of disbelief upon his father and Wade smiled a bit wanly. “That’s right, boy. No one is going to take the little dog away from you." Lora stole a hasty look at Mrs. Tyler. The old tody was watching Wade in outrage. Her face was crimson and she looked as if she might be holding her breath. There would still be trouble here. • * * Not until later did Lor* know what had happened in the parior that day after she and Jemmy had run upstairs. Mr*. Tyler had risen from her wheelchair before Wade could stop her to take several steps across the room and collapse at his feet She had been in bed ever since. ‘ I She had refused to see the doctor Wade had sent for, nor would she allow Lora to come near her. She isimply lay oa her pillow with her eyes closed most of the time, eating little, withdrawing from life. Ldra" inspected that the cure would be simple. They ’ had only to get rid of Jemmy's dog and his grandmother would recover promptly. But so far, to her surprise, Wade had refused to make this concession. "She is trying to die,” Wade said dully. “I’ve seen her do this before. That time when she fell downstairs. Sometimes I think she would rather die than not get her own way." ..She leaned against hto knee, eager and earnest. “You must be what is right ter you to be. Just as I must be what is right for me. Believe in yourself, Wade.” The chill which put distance between them went out of hto eyes. He rested a finger beneath her chin, tilting her head toward the lamplight “You’re always so alive, Lora. I’ve felt that in you from the beginning. Perhaps that was the thing which drew me toward you when 1 was near death. Perhaps I thought you might help me to be alive again. When Virginia "No,” she said, drawing away from the touch of his finger. "Not Virginia. Not me. You must do it yourself, Wade. That's the only way there is.” (To JB* ConMnstj

A. No. but if you provided more than halt hla support you can claim him as a dependent. You can do thia because he was apparently a member of row household during the year. Q.
