rpiIK man at the crossroads gaa
aery cama out to the pump.
.' "Why, lt' Mom Baumer, be
aid. "Hiya,Mom?"
"Hlya. pal," I mid.', ,"T1U her
,-P."
' "Must be five year alnce I acen
you," he said.
. "All of that," I aald. JYou've
tot a good memory."
"Oh, nobody ever forgets you,
fSom," he said.
I guess that's right, too. I'm a
sort of Institution on the roads. He
took a gander at my trailer.
"How's the feed trade?! he
' asked, being polite.
While he was polishing" the
windshield I said, "What's this I
hear about Tarabay Plantation?"
. "It's right," he said. "Life
sunong the ruins. Poor relation."
"What sort?"
"Yankee. Keeps herself to her
self." "Would she take In a tourist,'' do
you reckon?"
"Would the White House?"' he
aid. "Tambay's still Tambay."
"Okay, pal," I said. "But that's
where I bunk tonight. I've got a
particular reason for. wanting to
sleep there tonight"
Coming Into Tambay Plantation
I rolled along quietly. Opposite
the mansion I dropped the trailer.
' Before turning in at the big en
trance, I switched off my lights.
What with the rain and the wind,
there wasn't much danger of my
being heard before I was ready. I
got but of the car and hung a
gadget of mine that had been a
good old standby many a time
when I wanted a lodging, on the
gatepost.
' Through the un tended shrub
bery between the live oaks I could
make out Tambay Mansion. It was
like tired old lady, tired of ev
erything, even of pride, but with
the everlasting guts to keep her
chin up against all comers, no
matter how shabby and sad and
poor she might be. Well, I was
feeling a little like that myself,
after 10 years on the road. I could
use some rest

I KNOCKED on the door; a good.'
bard, honest knock. The light
moved and the door opened.
"Who Is It?" !
I was all set for a scrawny old-1
maid type with slit-eyes and a
New England-yellow skin. This
wasn't it at all. The voice didn't
have a poor relation whine, either.
"Could I get a room?" I said.
" "No," she said. "You're in the
wrong place."
"Tourists Accommodated," I
' said. "Going to make a liar out
of your sign?"
She got an umbrella and we
sloshed through the long grass. I;
switched my pocket flash onto the)
place where I d done my picture
hanging. "What about It?" I said.
Instead of answering, she put!
trp a hand and felt the woodwork!
back of my sign. Naturally, it;
hadn't had time to get wet. No-;
body's fool, that gal
"Do you get away with lti
often?" she asked.
"More often than you might
; think," I told her.
I guessed that maybe she didn't
have entire confidence in me. So
I put the spotlight on myself.
"Mom Baumer," I said. Tat
' and SO; wet and tired."
She kind of hesitated. "There's
only the north room furnished,"
he said. "It leaks."
"So does this sky," I said.
"I don't know," she said to her
self. "Why do you pick on Tarn
. bay?" she asked.
"It's a long story," I said. "I'd
do a lot better by it In the morn
ing." "I'm Jane Ann Judson," she
aid.
That north room would sure
have been a risk for anyone in
weak health. Pots and pans did
their best to take care of the drib
bles. The bed was pretty clammy,
land I spent some active moments
playing tag with one of those Elip
pery silk spreads that oueht to be
fin jail for abandonment But a
good conscience Is better than a
shot of dope, and I was still dead
to the world when some high
class breakfast smells woke me up
with a twitching nose.
I THOUGHT back to my first
Sight of Tambav Plantation 25
(years ago. I wasn't on my own at
that time. I was with a carny
Ishow. Acrobatics, an animal turn,
land a touch of parlor magic on
tthe side. We pitched by the
Istreamslde at Tambay Bend, and
jwhen I sneaked out after the show
land saw the old mansion, with all
the lights going and the saddle
horses hitched to the big trees,
and beard the music and the soft
young southern voices, I got a yen
for it that never died out You
wouldn't expect the proprietress
of a traveling nosebag to be ro
mantic O. K. I'm as God and the
roads have made me.
Years later, I hear that all the
Mauries of Tambay are dead, and
their friends and kin that kept the
place warm and happy with love,
are scattered or broke. But it
would always be the old Tambay
for me.
Jane Ann Judson was already
at the table when I got down. In
the morning light she looked
younger than I'd figured her. Two
long, thin, darky girls that I spot
ted for Gullahs from the islands
as soon as I heard their talk were
busy about the breakfast
"Good morning," Jane Ann
Judson said. "How did you make
lout?"
i "Swell," I told her.V'1 had the
bight of my life,"
"Was it as bad as that?"'
"No; I mean it," I said. "You
wondered why I picked on Tam
bay. Remember about the little

I used to have a dream. I'd got
rich, and I'd bought Tambay, and
I could see myself sitting in the
drawing room in a dark red satin
gown witli a brooch, and lifting a
linger to an old, silver-whiskered
darky, and saying in a cultured
voice, "You may now fetch the
Juleps, Erastus.' Do you wonder
I got a kick out of last night?"
"You couldn't sit m uie arawinc

of sigh in her throat
"No?" I said.

things back of the look that she
didn't want to think about.

tie?"
"Go anywhere you like." -After
breakfast she took her
fly-rod and went down to Tam
bay Bend to get a mess of fish for
dinner, leaving me with the two
Gullahs. I ve always modeled my
life on the fella that made a big
success minding his own business.
What I mean to say, I never ask
questions except of course, when
I want to find out something. Be
cause what other way is there?
I went to work on OUie and Nol

here?"
"Us? We been livin' heah sence

"With Miss Judson?"
"Oh, no'm! Miss Jane Ann, she

"Hasn't she got any folks?"
"No'm. Her pa an' ma was

Well, I looked the place over
and located a sweet spot for my
trade, between road and rivor, a
high jut of land witli nice trees.
So I towed the trailer In and was
ready for Miss Jane Ann when she
came baok.
