the word got out that the Iveses
were moving from Harbisonville, i
and friends came to express re-
grets. People who hadn’t been in
the Ives residence in two or three
years cam’i now to have their grace-
ful say.
"Of course, we just don’t have
time to visit these days, Kate, and
we just don't go to see anybody, but
we’ve known you were here, and
we hate to think, of your leaving I
We'll miss you just dreadfully.”
"We'll miss being here, too,” Kate
would say, "but it's time we struck
out for something of our own Andy
has been in a rut there so long,
with Mr. Jaynes. And the children
are big enough now for us to take
a chance, go—”
"But you’ll have to come back
and see us. Don't ever forget your
old friends here.”
"Oh, we won't do that! After all, '
we’ve lived a long time in Harbison-
ville." _
And so it went Kate knew how 1
shallow the regrets of many must
be, but she met their moods and
suffered with them in their sudden
sadness.
Hope knew that she would have
to say no to Wall Harbison again,
but that would be easy, even though
she was a bit proud of the fact that
Wall wanted her. Not many girls in
town would have refused Wall and
the material blessings he could of-
fer, including the tradition of n well-
established, enterprising family, It
was not that Hope thought she would |
ever have a better chance to get
a dependable husband and a solid,
well-founded home; it was, rather,
that she was honest—perhaps naive I
—about certain things Hope was
a romantic; she believed that when,
the right man came along she would
have no doubts whatever, and that,
just being near him would make
her heart act strangely.
Wall did propose again, on the
night of the day Andy gave Mr
Jaynes notice He said "Hope. I
just can't let you go off down there
in the swamp, burying yourself and
grubbing away at work you don't
have to do. Come on, marry me,
Hope I'll give you every reason I

Dave was so startled that he lost
step, but hitched and caught it
again. "What do you men?" he
blurted. "Why can't I play basket-
ball? Have I got to work after-
+. noons?”
"We’re leaving here,” his father
said. "We're leaving before the
month is out, and where we're go-
ing you won't have much interest
in basketball for a while."
"Leaving Harbisonville?” Again
Dave lost step,- then caught it de-
terminedly. "say, where’re we go-
in’, pop—I mean, dad? Y’ou got a
better job somewhere?”
"Much better.” Then Andy Ives
told his boy what lay ahead ofshem,
and why he had made the break.
"We'll have a world of work to do,
Dave, and it'll be hard work,but
what we make will be ours, and we'll
get ahead according to our labor
and common sense. How do you
feel about it?”
-Well—I—I don’t know. I like the

I've ever known, and—well, it be

the swamp, Andy gravely doubted |
that the frail floor would support its
weight. But Kate’s sentiment tor
the old, scarred upright was an ob-
stacle to Andy's practicality. They
had bought it second hand when
Hope was five. In those days Kate
had been sure that Hope was ex-
tremely talented, and theyy had
skimped and sacrificed in order to
make the payments on it. For
years it had represented a fond
dream—had been a pleasure too. Al-
though Hope had never progressed
beyond a stirring arrangement of
"Country Gardens” and the playing
of "The Minute Waltz” in approxi-
mately two minutes, she could ac-
company well; and there had been
many evenings when Andy and Kate
had harmonized on "In the Gloam-
ing”' and "Drink to Me Only With
Thine Eyes,” Hope playing for
them. Kate could play a little too.
by ear better than by note, and at
times when she felt moody she
turned to the old piano.
—"I just couldn't bear to leave tt,t
Andy,” she said. "I can’t help it
if it's too heavy for you and Dave
to handle alone, or if there's no room
for it down there, or it may break
the floor in, or if we could sell it for
enough to buy two plows I just
can't think of a home without a
piano.”

“Considerable walking." he In-
formed her. “Look, everybody," he
hurried on, noting Hope's look of
pain and Dave's startled expression,
"we’ll need a lot of things to start
off down there. Tools, mules, a
wagon, some fertilizer in the spring,
and—”
"I thought it was rich land," Kte
broke in. "Why use fertilizer?"
“No need to strain the soil right
at the beginning," Andy said dryly.
"Furthermore, we’ll have to build
a house, have a well driven, build a
barn, and—well, there’s just about
everything to be done. Besides, I
can get more for the old car now
than ever before, and maybe ever
■ gain, and it's the time to sell it.
We're going to go rock bottom for
• while. Anyway, who ever heard
of pioneers having a car?"
"America’s last frontier I" Kate
mused. “We must have Gertrude
felt good over the “we" that his
dad had used. “I can do a man’s
i work,” he said, and flexed arm and
shoulder muscles by way of as-
surance that he had stamina and
strength aplenty.
This attention to the physical side
of things made him lose step again,
i but he hitched into a half step and
fell in with his father's pace.
The table was lively at noon that
day, for everyone knew of the ven-
- ture now and all were talking ex-
' citedly.
“We’ll have a huge white house
with big columns,” Hope predicted,
| "and a park for a front yard. We'll
call it 'Ives Acres.’ "
“We’ll have only a hundred and
sixty acres,” Andy reminded her.
। “Don’t dream on too big a scale ”
' . “Oh, we’ll buy more land, then
more," she said gaily. “We'll want
an estate, won’t we? And you'll
want to be called a planter -instead
of a farmer. Takes a lot of land
, for that, you know."
“She wants to be a Scarlet O'Hara
of the swamps,” Dave put in. '"Gal,
you’d better come down to earth;
you'll skin your nose on a cloud.”
“Don’t call me ‘Gal’I” Hope
flared.
“I should say not,” Granny
i backed her up. “Hope is a young
lady, Dave, and a very nice, pretty
one, I’ll have you know.”
“Yes'm.” Dave grinned at Hope,
who had flushed pleasantly under
. Granny’s tribute. “I take back the

Andy was already making plans
for the move. I've spoken to
Joe Wilson about his truck," he said,

all go down in the car together."

and they knew he had a little bomb-

Dave laughed loudly and took an-
other large helping of peas.
“Wouldn't they turn up their noses
then, at us poor folks?"
Granny sniffed. “Better advise
Gertrude to have Wilton bring one
of his best mattresses down. We’ll
be sleeping on shucks, if we raise
any corn. I can imagine that pam-
pered ox sleeping on a shuck mat-
tress and sneezing every time he
turned over, because of the dust!"

“Of course j'ou did," said Granny.

in preparation for the move. One of
the problems was the piano. Even
