Otherwise she'd have gone away before this; but today was definitely her last day as housekeeper for Jake Sutton and his son, Joe. Melissa hoped she had taken at least a part of the place Joe's ma had left some six years ago when she had passed beyond.

At the same time she remembered that this was her last day. Three years ago she had started in this house of the Suttons--Jake Sutton and that son of his, Joe. She had nothing against Jake because Jake had the sense to look at her as j if she was a human being. But that Joe--he was a born woman-hater if ever she saw one. Then she considered -- wiping the damp towel over the plates--that Joe had lost his ma. She watched Jake come in for a packet of carrot seeds. Jake didn't glance at her as he rummaged in the seed pile. "Reckon as how Joe an' that Blossom Appenzeller gonna be hitched come this fall," Jake announced quietly. Joe wouldn't marry any girl, not even Blossom with her fancy ways, Melissa thought. And, as for herself, she had stood about all she could. If Joe hadn't noticed her for three long years he sure wasn't. , going to change overnight. U ER suitcase was packed and 11 she sat down on it to close it tight. Then she wondered what Joe was doing. She could see him through the window plain as day. She had to admit that he looked mighty like a man as he wheeled that tractor round the field. He'd make any girl a providing husband So Jake thought Blossom Appenzeller was for Joe. Maybe BtoMom would have liked to nab Joe but Jce had no eye for painted-up lips and ch^lked-up eyes. That blue dress on her suited hei blue eyes. Melissa stood straight up in front of the dresser glass. Her hand halted midway to her face powder box. She was looking at Joe's ma, an old photo encased in a frama^Of gilded wood.

As she camfe out into the afternoon sunshine she could see Jake looking at her from the chicken yard. "Joe!" Jake shouted. "Ain't you goin' to say good-by to Melissa?" And then she saw Joe stop the tractor and turn to stare at hei Melissa felt another lump in her throat as Joe stood near her, like a great pine tree. She was awfully small; she was a speck of dust that had been blown here by the wind and now was being blown away.
