His pa, Jake, did that right along, which was fair enough. But Joe did like her cooking. Otherwise she'd have gone away be- fore this; but today was definitely her last day as housekeeper for Jake Sutton and his son, Joe, Melissa hoped she had taken at kart a part of the place Toe's ma had left some six years ago when she had passed beyond. She knew that Joe lived with the memory- of his ma; acted as though she were in the next room. Melissa had never lost the idea of being an intruder. "1'm leaving today," mow:o wed Melissa. Joe 1cpt [Hoeing reward tl:e door. "I'm leaving today," Melissa repeated. lee stopped, and she .•oald sec his great fingers clench. Melissa went back to the pump and sink. She began washing the dishes. 01 the same time she remem- bered that this was her last day. Three years ago she had started in this house of the Suttons—Jake Sut- ton and that son of his, foe. She had nothing against Jake because Jake had the sense to look at her as if she was a human being. But that Joe— he was a born woman -hater if ever she saw one Then she considered— wiping the damp towel over the plates—that Joe had lost his ata. She watched Jake conte in for a packet of carrot seeds, Jake didn't glance at her as he rummaged in the seed pile. * * * "Reckon as how Joe an' that Dos - soot Appcnzeller gonna be hitchtd conte fall," Jake annotmcetl quietly. Joe wouldn't marry any girl, not etre Blossom with her fancy ways, Melissa thought, And, as for her- self, she had stood about all she could. If Foe hadn't noticed her for three long years he sure wasn't going to change overni ht. * * * Icer suitcase was packed a»d she sat down 00 it to close it tight. Then she wr.n,lcred what Joe was doing. She could ser h:m through the win- dow plain as day. She haul to admit that he looked mighty like a man as he heeled that tractor round the field. Ilea male any girl a pros id - big husband, So Jake thought Blossom Appee- zeller was for Joe. Maybe Illossom would have liked to nab inc but Joe had no eye for painted -up lips and chalks din. ryes. Thea blur dress on her suited her blue eyes. Melissa stood straight up in front of the dresser glass. Her hand halted midway to iter face powder box. She was looking at Joe's ma. an old photo encased in a frame of gildei wood. For the first time, though she had seen that pict- ure every day, Melissa could see why Joe remained aloof from girls; how could any girl come up to Joe's ma' * * On her way down, carrying the suitcase, she wanted to cry for sob- bing eased that sickening feeling of departure As she came out into the afternoon sunshine she could see Jake looking at her from the chicken yard. Joe!" Jake shouted. "Ain't you goin' to say good -by to Melissa?" And then she saw Joe stop the trac- tor and turn to stare at her, * * * Melissa felt another lump in her throat as Joe stood near her, like a great pine tree. She was awfully small; she was a speck of dust that had blown here by the wind and now was being blown away. "rf'hy don't you look at ire," he said, very lore, and kis voice cane from a distatee, She looked up and winced because he was aloof. "1 wasn't certain," he said, "but now I knew. It's the tray you kept hoase. JISo hod a blue dress like that. You're like her," IIe took the suitcase from her. Without knowing it, she walked at his side, back to the house, The sun was hot on the fields, a white butter- fly floated toward the cabbage patch, and Joe's arm felt good around her waist.
