said that the war years had giv.
en him a deeper understanding
of the value of family relation
ships. He asked her to visit him
in Kentucky.
A flood of homesickness swept
Jessica, Her father would like
Lovia, she thougnt. He woula
help her to get a divorce.
She managed to get Lucy alone
that evening and again thought
that Lucy looked careworn and
weery. The shacow on her face
deepened as she listened.
“You'll come back?” she asked.
“No, I'm never coming back.”
“And Tom?”
“If he wants to see me, he may
come to Kentucky and talk things
over.”
“What things?”
“A divorce.”
Lucy made no comment. She
tugned and wealked away, and
the door into the kitchen closed
behind her.
Why should I feel ashamed?
thought Jessica angrily, as she
ran upstairs to put Betsy to bed.
1 have a right to live my own
life and be happy.
How soon could she leave? She
culculated rapidly. She would go
downtown today and buy her
ticket. She would have to travel
on a day coach. She remembered
her disgust upon that other trip
which had brought her io Akron.
This would be differerit. She
would be returning to her own
home, her home at least wuntil
David brought her to the home
he made for her,
- . e
The day after she was in a
fever of anticipation, sorting cloth
es and packing.
She congratulated . herself that
an all-day missionary meeting
kept Mrs. Blake away from the
house that day. I won’t tell her
yet, thought Jessica, This is only
Thursday. T'll leave Sunday
morning while she’s at church
and let Lucy break the news to
her. She decided to explain her
plan to Lucy, but Lucy worked
that night and was gone when
Jessica came down for a late
breakfast on Friday morning. She
smothered a growing sense of
guilt. I'm a coward, she told her.
sel;’. I should tell Mrs. Blake my
sel
Later, Jessica locked herself in
her room and completed her
preparations. She must tell Da
vid, and wire her father.
“Jessica,” her mother-in-law’s
harsh voice soared up the stair
case. “I want you to go the
store.”
I This would be her opportunity
to call David, thought Jessica.
' She hurried downstairs and was |
out of the house five minutes la
ter, clutching her coat about her,’
battling the wind which howled '
around corners and swept down '
the street, raising a cloud of dust.
Overhead, fast scudding clouds
tlr(aveled across a cold November
sky. ¥
,Jessica was breathless when
she entered the small corner gro
cery. Hastily she consulted the
list Mrs. Blake had thrust in her
hand-—raisins, nuts, and spices.
More preparation for Tom's re
iturn_
Her high spirits suddenly evap
orated. Tom. How little thought
she gave to Tom. What a ghastly
homecoming his would be when
he arrived and found that his
wife and child had left him.
It's my life, she thought defi
]antly. Am I going to weaken
now?

The clerks were busy, and she
stepped to the rear of the store |
and asked to use the telephone.!
An instant later she heard Da-'
vid’s deep reassuring voice.
“I'm going back to Kentucky,
David,” she said.
“That’s fine,” David approved.
He said he would be at the.
station Sunday morning to see
her off He planned to come to
Kentucky the next week-end to
meet her father and explain his
plens for their future, |
Jessica said, “1 can’t believe it.”
1 She gave a sigh. !
“You will. Happy?” !
Of course she was happy. She
put back the receiver and turned
to see Doris standing at a little
distance.
She joined Doris and said,
“I'm leaving Akron.” :
“When?” :
“Sunday.” She explained her
| plan.
| Doris listened with no expres
sion on her face.
“Bill's home,” she said. “We
did the town last night and I'm
a wreck today. Maybe I can keep
that guy at home tonight. I'm
having pot roast and pumpkin pie,
!and everything he iikes best.”
She smiled happily.
| Doris was too absorbed in
Bill's return to bother about her
, affairs, thought Jessica with re
i lief. Then Doris said, “A man
!who’s been overseas deserves the
I best, 1 say.” Her tone was signi
ficent. G
1 “You mean that T should stay|
| at home until Tom returns, don’t
lyon?” demanded Jessica. |
i “1 can’t make your decisions for
i you,” said Doris briefly. Then,,
| unexpectedly, ‘“Have you seen
| Devid Gregory?” i
i “He’ll be at the station.”
‘ Doris said, “Oh,” and turned
ber back and motioned to a|
|clerk, moved away and left Jes-|

|and hurt,
She filled the grocery order |

was all right for Doris. She‘
didn’t have to live with a mother- !
in-law who hated and despised ,
