After the storm & veeeee @ FAINDOW (continued being controlled. Before speaking again he let silence fill the room. Then in a truly professional voice, he changed the Subject. "Mrs. Mowbry, I've come to ask your permission, or approval of a favor to my mother and me. We want very much to do something for Jamie. We've wanted to for a long time, because, apart from a Christmas tip, he's never taken anything for all tae extras he's done for us. I've taken.the liberty of choosing a new bicycle for him, which I've brought along now. That old tree really made scrap of his." Here he paused and stared through the window as if something of unusual interest had suddenly appeared there. Then he went on. '"But there's something else!" Reaching into an inner pocket he produced an envelope and handed it to her saying, 'I've deposited some money in his name at my bank. I'd like him to go in and sign anything that's necessary to make it available whenever he should need or wish to use it." He looked at her and smiled. "There's always such things as dental bills DOWSON'S RED & WHITE FOODMASTER and winter clothing. And I thought he might like to have a camping holiday with his scouting pals." His voice was husky now, and his face lined with memories. 'You see--your Jamie is so much the boy I'd hoped for, many years ago. The grandson for my mother. He was never born, because Ruth--his mofner died, before there'd been time for him. Please, accept this, and let us add to is as we wish. For Jamie, and as a tribute to a little boy who never was." - There was nothing left to be said. He rose and went out as he'd come in. She accomp- anied him to his car--held up her hand in farewell, as she watched him drive away. Coming back, she stopped to admire the glistening red and chrome bicycle parked by the garage door. Again, tears were struggl- iny for release. She felt a strong young arm enc rcle her waist. She managed to say, "Come inside Jamie, I'll tell you while I fix a sandwich. I'd forgotten the time." As she reached to open the screen-door her hand fell instead on the boy's shoulder. A small gray bird had come flitting across the lawn to perch briefly on a branch of Honeysuckle nearby. Pressing her fingers and nodding slightly in its direction she whispered softly, 'That, my son, couia easily be our Bluebird of Happiness."
