THE STORY: Seeking 2 job as
literary secretary to Mrs. Muriel
Halleck, who writes popular nov
els under the name of “Jo Pal
grave,” Alice Pine goes to the
Halleck home, at the end of Gros
venor Point, Conn., off Long Island
Sound. Alice is pleased both with
the surroundings and Mrs. Hal
leck, who “says she wants more
than “just a stenographer,” Alice
has just given Mrs. Halleck her
background and her age, which
is 28,

MURIEL HALLECK drummed
her fingers on the table. “Would
1t surprise you, Miss Pine, it I
engaged you? Right now?”
Alice Pine started. She hadn't
expected to land the job so easily.
But Muriel continued: “Why not?
I think you'd be perfect. And your
references are splendid. But do
vou have any questions of your
own?”
“No,” Alice said. *“I ought to
say, though, that the salary you
menticned is pretty—well, terrif
-IC.
Muriel waved, a quick decisive
gesture, “Not for want I want.
Listen for years I've written stuff
that editors and the public ex
pected me to write. But now I'm
blowing myself, to the luxury of a
novel. Something I really want
to do. I need the right kind of
help. And I'm willing to pay
for it.”
“Well,” Alice said slowly, “if
vou're sure you really want me,
I'm ready to work for you.”
“You mean now?”
Alice smiled. “Perhaps I was
rather overconfident. But I packed
a bag, on the chance that I might
be staying. The other things I'll
need can be sent up.”
Muriel Halleek arose. She
dropped a friendly arm around
Alice’s shoulders. “Why, that’s
splendid. I hadn’t hoped . . . Oh,
my dear! I'm forgetting. You've
had a long drive. What would you
like? Tea? A drink?”
“Tea, please,” Alice said. She
felt a little stunned. A slush job
job had fallen into her lap, with
scarcely any selling effort on her
part.

TEA was a pleasant interlude on
a flagstone terrace beneath the
study window, After it Muriel
conducted Alice upstairs to a large
airy bedroom.
“T hope you'll be comfortable
here,” she said. “In any case, its
private. You have gour own bath,
and my room and Brent’s is miles
away.”
“Comfortable?” Alice looked at

luxurious appointments and color
ful drapes. “I should think so. It's
lovely.”
“Well, make yourself at home,
Dinner’'s #t seven-thirty. We have
it late because of Brent. He's an
unpredictable artist, He does a lot
of his work outdoors and never
comes home till the last whistle.”
“I'm used to artists,” Alice said.
“We had plenty of them around
the advertising agency.”
“Then you know that they’ve no
conception of time, Now I'll leave
you for a while, I usually have a
nap before dinner. Maybe you'd
like one yourself?”
“If you don’t mind, I'd rather
walk around outside. And see the
beach.”
“Do.” Muriel left her.
ALICE changed into a gray flan
nel sports suit and aquamarine
pullover and went downstairs.
She presently discovered a for
nal garden that promised a vir
tual flower show later on. A griz
zled individual in dirty corduroys
was digging therein. He regarded
her with neither interest nor ap
proval and did not speak. He
looked rather surly, Alice thought.
But she had no time this after
noon for surly gardeners. She felt
both contented and elated. It was
miraculous to have stepped so
quickly from a good-paying job
into a better-paying one. And
Grosvenor Point, Conn., would be
an ideal spot in which to spend
the summer. 25
“Miss Pine,” she told herself,
aloud and gaily, “it's your day
out.” She walked toward the
beach, enjoying the salty tang of
the Sound. :
Then, on the beach itself, she
stopped. $
A small l;oy of about four had
come into view, running along the
water’s edge. He had hair the
color of pulled taffy and a compact
little body. At intervals he paused
to kick delightedly at curlers of
white spume infiltrating the shore.
As Alice watched, one kick was
too vigorous. He sat down abrupt
ly, to the confussion of his blue
playsuit.
Alice moved forward. “Hello,
there!” e e
The youngster scrambled up. His
cheeks were like ripe apples; his
eyes large and brown.
“You're not Mural,” he said,
almost accusingly. e
“Mural?” Alice repeated, “I . ..
Or, I see who—"
She didn’t finish. A voice from
behind said: “I imagine I should
put up a sign here too.”
Alice whipped around, upon a
tall man in tweed slacks and
frayed sports jacket, He had black
hair slightly ‘gray-flecked, and
dark unsmilling eyes.
“Oh!” she exclaimed. “I .. ."”
“Didn’'t see the sign, eh?” He
pointed to where the road along
which she had driven became a
deadend at the Sound. “Well, it's
over there. Perhaps I'd better have
it blown up into a billborad —
against the usual summer in
vasion.”
He spoke in proprietary manner
and Alice chanced a guess. “But,
of course, you're Mr, Halleck?”
He nodded. “Yes,» Brent Hal
leck.”
“So?” Halleck did not seem
amused at the little misunder
standing. “Well, my wife’s been
talking about getting a secretary.
But I didn’t know she’d actually
done it, My apologies, Miss Pine,
You see, Tolliver—that's the vil
lage here—is a summer resort.
And sometimes visitors try to use
this beach. I though you were an
early visitor.”
Brent’s jaw jutted. “It’s not
that I want to hog the country’s
natural playgrounds. But, after
all this is my property.”
THE small boy had been inspect
ing Alice curiously. “She’s not
Mural,” he told Brent now.
No,” said Brent. “She’s Miss
Pine and she's staying at onr
house. Say ‘how - do - you-do?’,
Rick.”
Rick did so gravely, then darted
back toward the water, raising
sand flurries in his wake.
Brent looked after him. “He
meant my wife, of course. But
‘Muriel’ is beyond him.”
“He’s adorable,” Alice said. “Is
he vour son?”
Brent’s thick dark brows lifted.
“Muriel didn’t tell you?”
“About Rick? No. I'm afraid we
talked work, to the exclusion of
everything else,” ' g
“Oh! Well, Rick—short for Rich
ard—is my brother’s child.,” He
paused, frowning. “My brother
and his wife were killed three
years ago in a plane crash. So we
took Rick, adopted him.” :
He sounded matter-of-fact, im
personal, And Alice felt herself
move, involuntarily, a little away
from him. Something about this
man repelled her.
“Well, that was a wonderful
thing to do,” she said, somewhat
embarrassedly.
He shrugged and, for the first
time, she noticed a peculiarity in
the set of his shoulders. They
seemed to sag inordinately, as if
he had practiced relaxing them
until they gave almost a sugges
tion of limpness. “You do what
you have to do, he said shortly.
“Shall we go up to the house'.’"’
“Yes,” said Alice. With Rick at
her side she followed him.

In announcing the project pro

Johnson pointed out that the con
test began July 1, this year. “At
least one acre of Ladino clover,
tall fescue or Coastal Bermuda,
Crimson Clover mixture or other
mixtures approved by the county
agent may be entered,” the agrono
mist said.
Mr. Johnson pointed out that
the sod must be established ac
cording to Extension Service re
commendations as to soil selection,
land preparation, fertilization,
liming, seeding and weed control.
Four-H'ers entering the program
must keep a record of the pasture
on regular 4-H club pasture re
cord forms found in the senior 4-H
club record book.
County winners will be selected
by June 1 by a committee appoint
ed by the county agent. By June
15 district champions will be
chosen by a committee of county
agents appointed by the district
Extension Service agents. An
Extension agronomist and other
pasture experts will pick the state
winner by July 1.
Points will be given for proper
soil selection, absence of object
ional objects, proper soil J)repara
tion, soil test, liming and fertili
zing according to needs, proper
seeding method and seed distribu
tion, proper management, proper
plant combinations and coverage,
production, and knowlege and pre=-
sentation of records by 4-H mem
bers.
Mr. Johnson pointed out the
following special rules for the
1952 projects: (1) 1951 state win
ners are ineligible. (2) 1951 dis
trict winners are eligible for state
awards but are not eligible for
district prizes.
J. B. Thompson, a 13-year-old
4-H'er from Laurens Country, won
the state award in 1951 with a
three-acre pasture of Coastal Ber
muda grass.

phasizing the importance of pro
per care of timberlands and in
urging woodland owners to make
the best use of timber harvested.

Ine. of Atlanta, in calling attention
to the opportunities woodland
owners have of obtaining income
from trees,
Of the total value from all har

Dyer gontinued that the Georgia
Forestry Association figures show
that a large percentage of the tim
berlands in the state are im the
hands of small to reasonably large
land holders. Seventy per cent of
the woodland in Georgia bolo:gs
to owners who have less than 1,000
