Peddler of Dreams
By PEGGY DERN
(Chapter 1)
The trailer was lona. old-fashion
ad and ahabby. The car hitched to
It was a coupe oi a sturdy. Inex
pensive make and a model several
years old. Parked beneath a tow
ering oak tree whose leaves were
beginning to ieei me loucn ui Au
tumn, the trailer looked cheery and
hospitable.
Felicity lifted the slices of bam
from the frying pan to a platter
and spoke over her shoulder to
a fifteen-year-old boy who eat
hunched over a book at the end
of the trailer.
"Bound up the gang. Jay dear
Supper's ready," she said cher
lully. "Oke," said Jason, and swung
himself down the trailer steps.
Felicity poured up the red
gravy in a bowl, added half a cup
of hot coffee to the frying pan to
"raise" the gravy, and poured It
Into the bowl. She scooped great
apoonsfuls of hominy-grits Into an
other bowl, brought a pan of hot
biscuits from the stove and filled
Jive mugs of milk on the table.
She heard the sound of excited
voices and the trailer door opened
to admit Jason, herding before
him four children; the eldest, Cor
nelia, aged thirteen: the youngest
Ellen, aged seven, with the clam
orous ten-year-old twins between
them. There was some sort of ar
gument going on, and Felicity turn
ed to arbitrate it, as usual.
"I betcha he's got a mllllrn books
Hiss," reported Ellen, wide - eyed
and breath'.ess. "And more maga-
slnes gosh, how I'd like to cut
Kper-dolls out of 'em. Hes good
iking. too."
"He Is nice, FUss," reported the
serious, round-faced Cornelia, with
an eagerness entirely alien to her
grave thirteen-year-old sell.
Felicity ushered them all to the
table, before she said lightly:
"It would help if I had some
Idea who and what you're all
talking about?"
"I round em in a trailer down
the line, ' Jason reported. "Some
guy that's got a bright new trailer
and a swell car and nes got
enough books to start a second
hand store, and magazines, too.
His name's Oarrett Forbes."
Felicity stared at the children se
verely. .
"Haven't I warned you folks that
you musn't go around poking
your noses into other people's trail
ers?" she demanded.
"He said he was lonesome," Cor
nelia reported gravely. "And he's
nice, Fliss honestly. He's he's
well I"
"Now, listen to me, you people!"
Felicity said sternly. "If we stopped
for the night in some town and
stayed at a hotel, you wouldn't
run down the street and dash In
as people's houses, would you?"
'Tippy would," said Denny firm
Felicity's brown eyes danced a
lltUe, But she kept her expression
stern. "Tippy would be a bad lit
tle girl U she did," she said. "Hard
as It may be for you to believe,
there are people in this world who
dont like children and some of
them travel In trailers."
"Like Mrs. Hudglns?" asked Ellen,
Wide-eyed.
"Like Mrs. Hudglns," said Fe
licity. And then, seeing the ghost
of terror in Ellen's eyes, she add
ed soothingly, "But, of course, darl
ing, Mrs. Hudglns wouldn't really
have flung boiling water on the
children who were skating in front
of her house aha Just said that to
frighten them away."
"I betcha she would, too I
betcha Mrs. Hndgins is a witch
that burns people," Tippy was say
ing cheerfully when Felicity turned
on her.
"Tippy!" There was a note In
Felicity's voice that the children
beard but seldom, and always knew
Hist It must be obeyed.
Tippy started, and she stam
mered, "Sure I'm sorry, Fllss. I
I didn't mean anything."
"Eat your supper, darling." said
Felicity to Ellen. "And nobody's
going to bother you ever. Only-
just stay close to Fllss until we
get down to Florida, where you
cn go swimming and get all nice
nd brown and fatl Won't that be
un7"

Or., Wednesday, May 4, 1949
"Fishing, too?" asked Ellen and
now the fear had gone from her
eyes.
"Oh. fishing, by all means. Jay
will see to that," Felicity prom
ised. Later when the others were In
bed, Jason and Felicity sat on the
steps, shivering a little In the
tangy Autumn air. Suddenly Fe
licity said:
"Ellen's better. Isn't she. Jay?"
"Sure I" said Jason swiftly too
swiftly.
"Does ana seem to you as
nervous as she was when we start
ed?" asked Felicity, and held her
breath for the answer.
"I don't think so." answered Ja
son, wanting to reassure her. "Oosh,
I'd like to take a buggy whip to
that Hudglns dame. What an old
witch she must have been!"
A voice out of the darkness said
pleasantly:
"Good evening. .1 brought the
little girl some magazines."
In the faint yellow light that fell
through the trailer's open door.
Felicity saw him a tall blond
young man, perhaps twenty-five or
six: dressed In gray slacks, a blue
pullover sweater, hatless, the light
ashine on hair the color of ripe
wheat.
