After a time he stopped ask- ing if she had news, and instead sat and talked with her and told her ail the clieerful anecdotes he could think of. She made him see very soon that she was grateful for these visits, and she usually tried when he was with her to affect a responsive cheer- fulness. But alway.s before he left her .she would say, "You don't think anything has happened to Dave, do you, Jerry?" Cream Wanted W« ara In the nifcrket for cream all ' through the year.
