SUNDOWN
TORIES
THE RAINY DAY
Re Marc Grahaaa Bftaner
It had begun to rain gently while
the children were In swimming and
It rained harder after they bad
come out. They ruslied to old Jonah
and thanked him for being such
good weather prophet.
"We were so tired." Peggy said,
"and yet we thought we would
have to water our gardens, but you
told us to ao swimming and then It
rained and we didn't have to do
anv watering."
"Well," said old Jonah, "I've an
Idee that the sky Is so far away
that It sometimes feels lonely and
If we pay It a bit of attention It
lets us Into Its secrets.
"I've looked up at the sky a lot
and have become familiar with the
different clouds and then, too, I
see which way the wind's blowing.
"Just wet your finger see put
it In your mouth, old Jonah ex
plained, "and then stick It up In
the air and the wind Is coming
from the direction where the finger
is ooide.it."
It rained all that night, a soft
rain which helped the grounds at
Rlverbank a great deal. The next
day it rained and old Jonah said tt
would rain all day.
"I'm ffaing to arrange all my
doll's clothes m the new trunk I
got for my birthday. Will you help
ie?" Peggy asked Betty.
So Betty and Peggy spent the
day In Peggy's room of the play
house and arranged everything In
perfect order.
But John was also busy In his
room In the playhouse and Freddy
and Bill ana old Jonah were help
ing him. There were sounds of
sawing and hammering, but they
wouldn't let the girls Into the secret.
them extravagant presents? She
looked up at him Impatiently. His
face Detrayea noining ueuner iuw,
nor disapproval, nor Jealousy per
hasps it was because ha was so
much older than he that ha had
learned to control his feelings so
perfectly. If Flora knew of their
friendship she never alluded to It,
and yet, surely she mutt sometimes
wonder, knowing that the ugener
ous allowance she gave Sondra
would not purchss.se fur coats or
hundred dollar frocks. Lite was such
an Insincere thing with which peo
ple seemed to have entered Into a
great conspiracy of pretence.
They pretended to like one an
other when they did not, they pre
tended to believe In one another
when they devoutly distrusted
they pretended to be happy and gay
when all the time they wert pro
foundly miserable.
"And I am the same," Sondra tod
hersef. "So why shoud I Judge the
others?"
She looked up at the man beside
her he too was aways pretending
pretending not to love her, when
some seventh sense had long ago
warned her that he did and yet
might she not be deceiving herself
even in this?
Why should he love her? A man
as rich and influential as he was
could have loved almost any wom
anwas there any reason wny ms
choice should have fallen on her?
No, there was no reason, any more
than there was a reason for her
own love for Mark Merriman.
People talked so much about free
will, and it was such a negUibie
quantity when one was faced with
the great things of life like a straw
tossed whichever way the wind ol
circumstance chose to carry It. And
yet, wasnt it by her own free will
that she had taken this step to re
move Merriman from her life?
Sondra looked Into her heart and
denied that It was, surely she had
been forced by the Insecurity of her
positoln.
She thought suddenly of her sis
ter's carelessly spoken words that
evening.
"It's such a pity John Anderson
cant get rid of Evelyn he'd make
such a splendid husband for you!"
and her own reply:
"I don't want him for a husband,
thank you."
That was not the truth either
she never seemed to be free to
speak the truth. If Anderson had
been a single man she would have
married him, always supposing he
bad asked her.
6lie looked tip at him again crlt-
ically. How amused people would
be If they could really understand
the relationship between them, if
she could tell the world "yes. he
gives me everything I want and
asks nothing in return he has
never even kissed me."
Nobody would believe her Flora
always declared that men were
never disinterested, and Flora un
derstood men so well.
"John must be the exception that
proves the rule," Sondra thought,
even as she asked herself If Ander
son might not be playing a waiting
game and would some day In the
near future render his account.
Just lately, perhaps Influenced by
her love for Merriman, she had not
let John know how terribly hard
up she really was, and he never
asked he always waited until she
could summon enough courage to
give him some hint.
How horrified Mark would be it
he knew, and rightly horrified,
Judging tram his own standpoint.
Sondra had so often heard him ssy
tbat he would never buy a thing he
was unable to pay for. Well, she
would not have had very much of
anything If she had allowed a rule
of that kind to govern her lire
from ehllrlhood she had adopted her
iff.
