Kelson has setted up eke title for

son is the rookie of the year."
Small' wonder if Sigmund some-
times thought his second son had
a cog or two missing.

His second son? Ah. where was
the first born? _ Edward Sigmund
Colin Kelson had not been house
in four years, and for all anyone
knew he might not be home for
another four, or fourteen, or forty.
Ted Kelson had walked out of the
store, out of Brig End Mills, and
out of Janet's and Sigmund's life
one cold day in winter when a
blizzard was brewing and dusk was
setting in.
Janet did not know whether Sig-
mund had ever regretted the things
he had said to Ted when he dis-
covered him seated on a nail keg
beside the corn syrup barrel, lost
to the world in "The Lone Star
Ranger," while the corn syrup roll-
ed slowly and relentlessly down the
sides of the overflowing sealer, and
spread itself in an ever -widening
lake on the floor of the store.
Janet did not know what Sig-
mund had said, although she had
heard his voice raised in stormy
anger. She did not know what Ted
'had answered, or if he had made
any answer. He had simply walk-

ed peat her into the front
where bis coat and cap were hang-
ing
anging on•the peg, put them on and
went out the front door into the
gathering dusk, closing it gently
behind him. And from that day, as
far as Janet and Sigmund were
concerned, he had been one as
dead.
Martin Bonner had seen him in
a garage in Toronto a year later.
Ted had talked to him civilly and
pleasantly enough, but no, he
wasn't going back to Brig 'End
Mills—sot just now. Wlae there
any message? Tell the folks that
he was getting along fine. The
garage 'owner told- Martin that Ted
was a good worker, sine of the best,
but he did not expect to hold him.
Ted had his mind set on something
higher than being a garage mechan-
ic. The garage owner thought -per-
haps airplanes.
On Martin's next trip to Toronto,
Janet was with him, but she was
too late. Ted had moved on and
the garage owner knew nothing of
him.
Several people from Brig End
Mills reported having seen him in
the course of the next three years,
but none of them could tell the
Kelsons his address. He looked
well enough, was thin but quite
well dressed. He did not seem un-
happy. And with that, the case
rested.
Ted's name was seldom mention—
ed between Janet and . Sigmund.
Janet'had an idea that Sigmund re-
gretted his angry words, but the
prospect of his ever admitting his
regret was remote indeed. Sigmund
was not the admitting kind. She
could not even find it in her heart
to blame Sigmund. After all, an
overflowing molasses sealer was
just about the messiest disaster
that could happen in a grocery
store.
And how Sigmund had loved his
first born son! Mud had kept him

Iladiache is often caused by lazy kidney

excess acids and wastes remain in the.

thought was carrying love a little
too. far.
And 'how Ted- bad loved his
father! Had followed so closely in
Its footsteps around the store; had
to run to him instead of to her
when he had a bump to be exam-
ined. Many a time Janet's eyes
were wet at the memory.
When things became too -bleak to
be cheerfully borne, she went to
see her friend, Martha Freelong,•
taking the advice of that wise phil-
osopher who said: 'When thiugs
go wrong, pay a visit. to someone
worse off than yourself'.
Part Three
The Store .. , and the Community
I '
Jack Freelong did moat of the
woodwork in Gerald Fox's black-
smith shop and practically all the
carpenter work in Brig End Mills:
He was a good carpenter and wood-
worker—everywhere, but at home.
Half the women in the village had
built-in cupboards of Freelong's
construction, but not Jack's wife—
Martha. Martha Freelong had sev-
en children, the oldest thirteen, and
she still housed her dishes in a
cupboard that she had to get down
on her knees to get anything into
or out of, and whose door opened
back against the wood -box, block-
ing traffic. Martha had to walk the
length of her house to reach her
cellar door under the stairs, when
fifty dollars' worthof material and
three days of Jack's time would
have put it right in her kiteien.
If Martha had been a nagger she
night have had things more to her
liking, but nagging was • not Mar-
tha's way. When Janet asked her
irritably why in the world she
didn't make Jack put a bottom
(Tinge on the stair door. she re-
plied with, to Janet, maddening
philosophy.
"My father was a carpenter; I
had two brothers carpenters, and
1 married a carpenter: and 1 don't
suppose I'll ever have one thing
the way I want it until I'm in .il
position to hire It done. And good.
ness knows when that will be," •
"It's your own fault, Martha.
Yitsu're too good -natured. You
should raise the dickerts once in a
wlhile." •
"I guess so," Martha replied, with
a sigh. "But dearie me, Janet, by

way, Jack is easy-going and never
chews when the house is at sheen
and sevene, the way it often l&, or
grumbles about how much it takes
to teed us, and goodness knows fit
takes a lot."
"Why should hef They're his
children too, and you're the best
and thriftiest buyer in Brig, End
Mills. Sigmund says so. And you
milk the cow; I don't suppose Jack
ever milked her in his Life, and
you make butter and cottage cheese
and have the best garden in Brig`
End, and- does Jiack ever put a hoe
in it? Don't snake us laugh! And
you get more eggs from twenty
hens than any poultryman in the
township. And you have the nicest,
healthiest, best -looking children to
be found anywhere, and how you
do it beats me. I have the store
to fall back on, or sometimes I'd
be at my wits' end."
"Olt, well," said Martha, with a
laugh, "whenever I get provoked at
Jack I think to myself, 'Well, at
any rate, you aren't Henry Parr',
and I cheer up right away. Alit
now I feel that this will never come
to an eud, but my reason tells me
that it will, and first thing ' we
know Jack and I will .be sitting at
hone alone and thinking;., the
house is as quiet as the grave and
we don't like it a bit. And what
will I care then about built-in cup-
boards?"
Janet looked at her friend affec-
tionately.
"My- dear female Socrates," she
said. "Yours may be the right at-
titude for happiness. but I'll be jig-
rered if I think it's the right atti-
tude for progress."
"Maybe you're right—and maybe
again you're not. You're up on
psychology. You know right well
that the psychologists -tell us that
the first necessity in making a
good citizen is to give him or her
a happy home. Not a tidy horse,
mind you; nor a home with built-
in cupboards and a bottom hinge.
on the stair door, but a HAPPY
home."
• .Janet conceded defeat,
"You win. But all I can say is
that I wish Jack Freelong were my
husband for one week!"
"Apple sauce! You'd handle him
just the way I handle him because
I've watched you with Sigmund,
