The back of his neck seemed a bit scrawny and a little round hat sat on top of his head as though a vagrant breeze had dropped it there. He was carrying a small bunch of flowers. When I pulled alongside I asked him if he wanted a lift. His clothes were limp with the steady drizzle and he seemed to have walked a long way. Tve only got a short way to go now," he said. "It ain't hardly worth bothering 1 about." "Jump in, I anyway, There wasnt much about me she during that time Martha got some could brag about, but she made up a lot of things.

Dut I'm only going around the bend there to Cypress Hills." As he got into the car he held the flowers high so as not to break the stems. Cypress Hills," I repeated by way of showing a little interest. "Thats a cemetery, isnt it? Yes, its a cemetery. Oh, I said. Flowers, cemetery, rain. I kept a respectful silence. When we had driven a short distance there was a great rumble of thunder through the low bills and the sky opened with a sudden torrent that made the surrounding landscape a wet blur "Guess I'll pull up alongside the road until it blows I told my over, passenger. Neither of us spoke for while. , ,. , The great clatter of the storm outside rendered the silence behind the closed windows a little oppressive. Presently the little man said, My wife is buried over there. He pointed in the direction of Cypress Hills. I answered. Im sorry, - When" Just a few weeks ago. "Was it sudden He Ignored my unfinished question and said absently, "Its strange what a delicate thing life is. It can be cut off by an accidental move or even a thoughtless word. Something you say can snap it off just like a thin piece of thread. There was a clap of thunder and the downpour wrapped us hi a fresh film of r&in. The little man told me his story. I give it to you in his words as closely as I can remember them. ' Martha spent her whole life trying to build me up into something. She started right at the wedding She was about an inch taller than me and she wore her flattest heels at the wedding and stooped over a little when the minister stood us up for the ceremony. She looked so proud youd think she was marrying a millionaire. And me only a bookkeeper at the mill. or" k ...

Jed Miley down at the post office told me his wife was like that and as long as they didnt get any excitement or shock they could live to be a hundred. Martha always rested when I told her but she never really rested even when she was lying down. Her mind was working. She was thinking how she could make the town know what a great husband she had. I tried to explain that it didnt matter as long as we were happy. But she kept on being riled. I just kind of hoped something big would happen to me for Marthas sake. J Well, sir, it was like the hand of fate. Something big did happen at last. At least, it wsfs big to Martha and me. Mr. Clawson, the president of the mill, was getting up a dinner in honor of the town council and asked me to make a speech I When I came home and told Martha that evening she nearly jumped out of her skin. I had never made a speech before in my life. I was scared stiff at the thought of it. But Martha was going to prove everything she had said about me, through that speech. I just had to n show Mister Clawson and the she was right. The dinner was two weeks off and coun-cilme- w. r u CROSSWORD PUZZLE v SolaUta ta Next Horiiontal lua. To stop .

Martha stood at the gate and looked ten waving good-b- y years younger. I was sort of choked up and happy. I was only sorry she couldnt come along. It was just for men, you know. I left my car in front of the house and walked down to the Clifton Hotel so I could go over my speech Just one last time. When I got there I said hello to everybody even Longyear, president of the bank. Id never spoken to him before. I felt pretty important TpHE Y put me on the platform next to Charlie Simmons, who is quite a wit around these parts. He has one of those ventriloquist dummies and also does card tricks. He told me a few jokes and I laughed although I didnt listen. I took a taste of the soup but after that I couldnt eat a thing. The speech kept pounding in my head. After the ice cream Mister Clawson rapped for order and made a flowery speech about the town council. Then the head of the council said a lot of nice things about the mill and how much good it had done the town. More speeches followed. Each time the toastmaster got ready to call on the next speaker I shook all over thinking it might be me. It seemed that everybody in town was making a speech. My mouth got dry. Then Simmons got up and did his dummy act and some card tricks. He went over to the piano and sang some songs. People called for more. They all laughed and sang with him. I looked at my watch. It was eleven o'clock. I managed to get my head clear and quickly thought over the first few paragraphs of my speech. They were saving me for the last. A sort of surprise, I thought. Then Mister Clawson got up and his voice sounded far off. He said some of the boys wanted to play poker and others wanted to sit around and chat. It was too late for more speeches. After hearing Simmons any more talk would be tame. It was a wonderful evening and everybody had enjoyed it thoroughly. They all stood up and sang Auld Lang Syne. The dinner was over. You cant blame me for not being able to think clearly after that. I was so disappointed I got kind of numb. I sneaked out through the back door and went home. Martha ran down to the front gate and grabbed me around the neck. She cried, "How did it go? I said, "They didn't call on me.1 I shouldnt have told her the truth. It was a dreadful blunder. avoiding hot, swel- weather. Since its cooler you wont mind using the oven if baking the pie is required, and you wont mind taking the extra time for their preparation. There was a time when we thought of pie as something with a crust made of shortening, flour and water, but now there are many new crumb crusts from which to choose and sometimes these are even better with certain types of fillings. If you want a real taste delight, experiment with new crusts, novel fillings, and gather yourself a new and delicious collection of pastries from which to choose desserts. We all grow tired of eating the same things day in, day out, and theres so much new in the way of foods, its just not a smart homemaker who doesnt find different touches to add to her menus.
