Lola wafted until his footstepsAad died away. Then she hurried into the partitioned box that served as a room for herself arid Carol. Her sister was already putting on a pert green taffeta. In a moment, Carb! picked up the lamp on the rickety dresser. “You look perfect, Lola,” ..she said. “Come on, let’s show Ma.” Then entered the sick woman’s room together. “Beautiful!” gasped Ma Brewster’ . - She patted- Lola’s hand, then jump- ed, .startled. The front door had' slammed. Heavy feet clumped across tee floor. Pa Brewster stood glower-1 ing in the doorway of the bedroom. “I thought I smelled a rat when I left this place just now,” he sneered. And look what I find.

He.lifted a heavy hand to strike Carol. -She wrenched, nway, her eyes blazing,, but his hand shot out: His' stinging, slap, struck' Carol’s cheek as Lola’s shrill scream rang out. “Stop it! Stop ft! Oh You’ve killed Mother!” ' , Ma Brewster was buried two. days later. Pa | seemed , strangly subdued. Not even when Lola and Carol left hint standing by the open grave,, after the brief burial ceremony, ■ did he seem interested. Watching. his bowed figure, Lola felt a brief pang of pity. What was going on in his heart?' « Carol pulled her away. “Come on,” she said. “I’ve rented a furnished room.
