<SJ.\I.E.Y had been transferred to
k. She never quite knew how-
it hid happened. She .had been
hoping for a change from n:gbt
w.-rk and well omed the ide-t of
ward duty, especially K which
wa one of the women's wards and
extremely easy. k was given over
mostly to nC * ««t convalescent
c.. tts. She ! ad forgotten a out
Prunella Brown until upon walk-
ing &• length of the long ward
sr e felt the ur.happy gaze of a pair
of black eyes watching her. There
was pleading and touch of mis-
ery in their velvet depths that
w ent straight tn Sally's heart. She
paused beside the bed and «aid:
T remember you. Prunella.
Voi. re Mrs. Hutchinson's cw*. i
was in Receiving a week ago w hen
she brought you here. How are
you feeling this morning?"
"Not so good. Mis*—not so
goorfTr the woman muttered, her
voice a singsong moon. "Is Mis'
Angela come to see me or is she-
ph >r:e v. know is i worse or is i
dead?"
Siiiiy smiled. *1 wouldn't know
that, Prunella. But you're not
w■•r-e and you certainly are far
f^om dead. You wouldn't be in this
ward it you were either one or the
other You're going to be all right.
But tell me just what troubles
you*' W.-iere do you feet bad?"
The woman rtrvsed her eye'- for
a moment and her face puckered
as if she were about tn cry. She
elr^fiiM both hands over her heart
>r.d moaned." "Here- right here
was John Hutrhirtsnn wno
came to see Prunella, bringing
with h;m flowers, fruit and. best
of all, a feeling of being wanted—
a proof of affection for which the
old woman was yearnin#. Sally
left them together although .-he
wished she could have heard the
conversation that went on between
them. He sought her out before he
left.
"I've been out of town for a few
days and only just now heard ot
Prunella's hospitalisation. Take
good care of her. Nurse," he told
her. "She's very dear to both my
wife : nd me and I mean to put a
stop to all this nonsense at once.''
"Good for you?" Sally cried,
before she thought and blushed
and apologized. The young man
laughed.
"That'- all right,"' he saFd boy-
ishly. "Prunella told me she had
confided in you. My wife and I
haven't been married very long—
less than a year. We have a lot of
adjusting to do."
"She's very beautiful," Sally
told him.
"And very spoiled."' be replied.

6e moved and IU'eome for her
myself."
"Ifs better that she remain
right here at present, Mr. Hutchfn
son," Sally told him. "Her blood
pressure is still much too high
and we are keeping her on a
diet—"
"Good heavens^ he exclaimed
in horror. "That's punishment!
Why, Prunella eats all the time—•"
"i can believe that," Sally said.
• •
CAI.LT went back to Prunella
and was surprised to see the
change in her appearance. She
was humming softly to herself, her
hands moving in time to the music.
She grinned broadly when she
-aw the nurse.
"Ain' Massa Johnny th' nice.?'
man you ever see. Miss? I Jes' love
that man. He go in' make ever'thin'
all right Mis' Angela goin? come
rotin* an' they'll be jes' like a pair
o* turtle doves."
Later the resident slopped her as
she was busy at the other end of
ihi- ward. "What happened to our
fat lady in the last bed?" he asked.
"sh^j has certainly recovered rap-
idly. Do you use magic in your
nursing, Maynard? Her pressure is
nearly normal this morning rr.d
p.t.r. entirely so."
"She had a caller. Doctor," Salty
told him. "The poor soul was lone-
some and unhappy. She felt every-
one had deserted her. After 'Massa
Johnny' came she perked right up.
All's right with her world. It's cer-
tainly wonderful what a little love
and attention can do for some peo-
ple. isn't it?"
"Love therapy is very potent,
Maynard." the resident agreed.. "It
very often works where every-
thing else fail". It certainty has in
her ease. As tar as i can see there
is no reason for her refining
here much longer. Why not get in
toueh with her people and have
them take her honie?"
"Fine!" Sally said. "Mr. Hutch-
inson premised to co.ae for her
any time she could leave. i'll get
in touch with him at once. Pru-
nella will be- happy to go. She
doesn't like dieting."
The doctor smiled. "So she said.
Well, we can use the space she has
so amply filled1." " ~

til's, with vi-sions of carving them-
selves a little farm out of free
public lands may as well put away
their dreams.
The blunt truth is. according
to the Agrk-ulture Department
that about the only sure way of
trvttirik a turm rmlay is a buy it
fi m an estaUiathed owner.
"Very little public land is left
in the united States that fc+ suit-
able for farming," it said. "The
federal homestead laws still are
on the books hut the public lands
have been pretty well picked over."
-tik- l> >tiai"T.nn*tit itonceiied that
"oci-asinnalty"' someone who is
familiar with a particular area
ran locate a tract of land that wiU
meet the Boverument's homestead
requirements.
"But it'niiijr the last few years
le*s than a hundred tracks a year,
on the aventtre, have been classi-
fied a- suitable to. f'lrminu'." it
said.
Tracts in the Kouicb
"The few tract# that may be
available usually wilt be in the
rounh anil a man would have to
do a lot of hard work and spend
con.-iderahe time and money be-
fore he could earn a living from
one of them.""
Alaska has some land available
for homesteadinjc, the Department
said, but the chances for success
on such farms are limited by a
lack of market." and transporta-
tion.
"Alaska." it explained, "'exports
few farm products and the local
demand is only what can be sold
in the ««-tahtished towns and com-
munities.. The population of
Alaska is small—less than i'to.ooo
hve in. thi* vast territory."
The iPepartment added that
people who go to Alaska will he
those who "are willing to pioneer.
They will be wilinjc to put up with
hardships and inconveniences now
for the sake of better opportuni-
ties later."
It said that part of some <>,500,-
t)00 acres of land bought by the
government (hiring the war for
military purposes alio- will he soM
now that its military usefulness
is over.
Former Owner* First
But before a veteran can buy
this surplus land, it must be of-
fered to the former owner who
"old the land to the government,
his heirs or tenants. lit addition,
much of the land w not suited to
farming.
On the other hand, the Depart-
ment said, about .100,000 farms
and farm tracts were sold last
year. There also are many tracts
near town and cities which can
be farmed on a part-time basis
and paid for with outside income.
Loan opportunities open to vet-
eran* al-o are plentiful. In addi-
tion to his right* under the lit
bill, the veteran may torn to the
Farm Security Administration,
federal land bonks or private
lending institutions.
There is also free advice avail-
able from the country- agriculture
agent in the ana where the gi
iecides to locate.
"The country agent can help
the serviceman viae op ntriivtdaal
farm plans and can give Rim other
advice about the particular farm
m which he may be interested,"
the Department said.
