Mark nodded, ha. Her small face gave him the curious impression od almost visible thought. it means more than flesh and blood, Impressions registered themgeivu and were gone. leaving the suggestim-i of a printed page. He was beginning to get a glimpse of what he had undertaken. Fa- ther and mother would be his job. How well he did it would spell happiness.

"Maybe you would like to change!" he suggested. "Me, I'm not so crazy about this school thing anyway. schools are sort of mental cod-liver oil. to be taken and forgotten as loan as possiblef

Valerie laughed with delight Her laughter was like ii. reproach in her ears. and she shut it off quickly.

"0! course mother is-was al- ways right. and she said the ma- cine part didn't matter. She said it gave you backbone. But back- bones aren't so comfortable, are they? She said it was the very best school. And that we ought to be thankful-"

Marked finished his coffee be- fore he answered. "I don't say she wasn't right. But look at it this way: we have to stick together who's going to see that I stay home nights if you are up the state being educated? So just say Pin a selfish guy, and we'll hunt us a learning factory some- where in town. There must be one. I mean the kind you should go to. or maybe you can stay at home and have a governess or tutor. or whatever beautiful young women almost fourteen have. we can let it ride a while, anyway, and see, There's no hurry."

"I like it! I mean the idea." said Valerie at Mark's suggestion that she should not go away to school. "But does it matter what one likes."

Mark looked at her quickly. she had no business with that blend of wistfulness and renunciation. "I hope to tell you it mattersl Look at me. I like work. Even in college I knew I was going to be like that. so what do I do? Go and take up room in a. plant being a chemical engineer that somebody else might fit much better."

"But it's your plant." Valerie re- minded him.

"So it is." He realized suddenly with a pang that he had not even thought of Ellen during the con- versation. He pulled himself up sharply. Burely it wasn't decent to begin to forget, even to bring com- fort to this thin and solemn chi-la,

"Miss Weatherbee said it was a mark of character. I mean, not just spending money because your father left it to you. She said if we were boys, we should take you for an example. And anyway, that we could learn a lesson from you. She is the head mistress at Boul- ton-Miss Weathcrbee. I mean.”

"What a horrible idea," said Mark, "being taken for an ex- ample!" He pushed back his chair and got up. Sunlight flooded the room and outside on the lawn ll lone robin strutted. Mark picked Valerie out of her chair and'walk- ed with her to the window.

"rhis is sort of trippish weath- er. How would you like to take a car and drive? Anywhere-just as it comes? Before we go back to work. Or how about your not go- ing back to work I mean, not un- til fall?"

Valerie leaned a little shyly against his arm. "You have grnnd thoughts. don't you? I suppose-”

"What?"

'We couldn't really morning-"

"Except for one thing."

"You haven't got-I mean you haven't time--"

"You don't have to be so darned grammatical with me.' said Mark

"It makes it so much easier." She leaned a shade closer. "Wouid you mind, do you subpose, it I ask- ed you something?"

"1 think it would be quite ex- citing."

"It's-if.'s a. favor-"

"All the better.”

"Well. would you mind it I call- ed you 'father? I mean instead of 'daddy'?”

"Absolutely not. I think it would

But it would say Bttle ease oth- er than that it has lots of guns. An. authoritative source said little if anything will be said pub- licly from now on about.thc dis- position of anti-aircraft guns and units. This same attitude had been applied previously to construction and sites of radar stations. now being built in a number of strat- egic places.

The Navy said its intelligence branch feels there should be no further statements from Ottawa on the movement of its three Korea- bound destroyers until Gen. Mac- Arthur, United Naiions Command- er. rules otherwise.

"I wonder we didn't think of it before."

"I did. Long ago But mother lik- ed 'daddy'. She said of course you weren't my real father. But 1 do like ifatherl so. I suppose it's silly-"

Mark leaned suddenly to kiss the top of her head. "Just because you like it doesn't mean it's silly," he explained. "Some day we're going to forget about being Spartans, and loose. Meanwhile, call me my. thins. from Mark up and down. I have a sneaking weakness for 'fa- ther' myself."

"Then it shall be 'father'. Thank you. Father."

"Now. the reason we can't go Way today." he told her, --is that we have to hear your mother's will, Do you know what a will is?"

"Will and won't-"

"When somebody passes as 31. 1011 did, he often leaves a paper saying what he wants done with his things-like jewels and pro- perty,"

He was amazed at the maturity that looked out of Valerie's wide eyes. "But mother's things all came from you. Wouldn't they be Vours again now?"

"Not necessarily. They were hers to do with as she passed. We have to met her lawyers here at three and find out what that was. Shall you mind?"
