roast beef sandwich, made with thick slices of homemade bread and farm butter, to set before her weary son. She poured two cups of tea and sat down to join him.

"I take it this was a tough one," Clark was saying.

Luke nodded his head. "Bout the worse thing I've seen yet." "Not a break, ya said."

"Crushed. Crushed beyond recognition."

"Did Belinda--?" began Marty, but Luke stopped her question with his hand.

"I told her to stay out, but she came in anyway. Said I might need her help!' He swallowed a sip of the hot tea and sat silent for a minute. "I did. I sure did. I don't know what I'd have done without her."

"She could . . . could face it?"

"At first she nearly passed out. . . I saw that. But she fought against it, and she helped through the entire surgery. Did everything just like I asked her. She was a real brick about it. I was proud of her."

Marty shuddered and pushed back her cup. She did not want the tea after all. In her mind's eye she was seeing again the crushed leg of her husband.

"She's made of good stuff, that kid of yours," Luke was saying, and there was pride in his voice.

"Ya don't think it was too much fer her?" asked Clark.

"I would never have knowingly decided to let Belinda see what she did . . . not at her age. I would have kept her out of there if I could have . . . if I hadn't needed her in order to save that boy's life. There was no one else to help me. Belinda knew the names of each of my instruments as I called for them, and we were fighting against time. I hope . .. I hope and pray. . . that it wasn't too much for a girl her age. I . . . I don't think it was. I think . . . I think she'll be fine. We've got us a nurse, to my way of thinking."
