ing that there would be a letter in the mailbox that would bring about a miracle in Bill. Now as Joey returned from the mailbox the sky was completely overcast and the rain was starting to fall. The drops pattered on the leaves, falling faster and faster, filling the forest with a roaring sound. Uncle Bill sat in his rocker on the porch, his eyes nervously searching the skies, hut finding no vapor trails now. “Please take me to Wailing Wa ters to see Jim O’Grady,” Joey said. He knew that there was a little hoy whine in his voice but he could not help it, even if he was 13 years old. “ Please take me before it rains too hard and washe s out the bridge.” “Why anybody would ever want to get married and have kids is be yond me,” Bill complained. “ I see now why they shipped you up here to me. It wasn’t because they were afraid I was lonesome, it was be cause they wanted to be alone themselves. Okay, I’ll take you to Wailing Waters if J can get the car started, but if you think I’m going to stand around listening to that evangelist, think again!” Joey thought it was like a mir acle, almost, having Bill agree to take him. The car started all right and the drops weren’t coming down as fast as they had been. Uncle Bill always kept the chains on because the trees kept out the sun and the road was nearly always muddy. It wasn’t a fancy car but Bill said it was good enough for a broken-down jet pilot. I knew you would take me to see Jim O’Grady,” Joey said. “ I’ve been praying about it and God al ways answers your prayers.” ‘He does, eh? For that remark I ought to turn around and take you back. Besides, the guy still hasn’t shown up yet. Maybe that’s why I’m taking you. Just to show you that your Jim O’Grady is an ordi nary fellow and won’t even come.” Joey felt a gathering flood inside when he saw the bridge. It was hardly raining when they came out from beneath the trees. That was what made it so hard to believe what he saw. The river was run ning over its banks and over the bridge — not over the railings yet,
