boy spoke timidly。







〃I've come back; Mother。〃







〃Very well;〃 said Mrs。 Ericson。







Eric leaned over and picked up a little stick out of the grass。







〃How about the milking?〃 he faltered。







〃That's been done; hours ago。〃







〃Who did you get?〃







〃Get?  I did it myself。  I can milk as good as any of you。〃







Eric slid along the step nearer to her。  〃Oh; Mother; why did you?〃



he asked sorrowfully。  〃Why didn't you get one of Otto's boys?〃







〃I didn't want anybody to know I was in need of a boy;〃 said



Mrs。 Ericson bitterly。  She looked straight in front of her and her



mouth tightened。  〃I always meant to give you the home farm;〃 she



added。







The boy stared and slid closer。  〃Oh; Mother;〃 he faltered; 〃I



don't care about the farm。  I came back because I thought you might



be needing me; maybe。〃  He hung his head and got no further。







〃Very well;〃 said Mrs。 Ericson。  Her hand went out from her



suddenly and rested on his head。  Her fingers twined themselves in



his soft; pale hair。  His tears splashed down on the boards;



happiness filled his heart。







End
