in his room.
I hustled upstairs; Major and
the boys hustled down; Molly took
off for the kitchen.
Scrubbed pink, with wet hair
clinging to their heads, dressed in
clean clothes, they sat down to
eat the mound of food Molly had
whipped up. When they finished,
they told their story.
“You knew I didn’t want to go
back to school, Dad,” George be
gan,
Major nodded. ’
“Well, Hank and I fixed it up
to run away. Shucks, if we could
get someplace where we weren't
known, we could enlist.”
:‘Oh,” Molly gasped, “so that’s
it!”
“You knew very good and well
at Christmas, Mom, I wanted to
join ‘up,” Georgie put the blame
on her. “Anyway, Hank and I sold
off a few things we didn’t need
and added that to our Christmas
money and bought the clothes we
had on.”
In reply to Molly’s exclamation
he said that the tfiothes were new
when they started out. “And,” he
continued, “we struck out for a
southern route becatise they're
warmer. We hitchhiked quite a
few rides, got as far as South Car
olina, but it was awful slow go
ing. We werer't going to have
enough money to eat on, at that
rate. One of the hobos told us
we ought to ride the freights.”
“Hobo! . . , Freights!” Molly
gasped.
I “Sure, Mom. Theywe fun. We
[couldn’t find any recruiting of
|flcer who'd accept us. We had to
keep going. We thought maybe
down South they'd take us. We
got to Macon and the MP’s picked
| us up. Thought we were deserters.
. . . See,” he added proudly, “we
look old enough . . . put they let
us go and then the cops stepped
in. Looked like the chain gang for
us . . . Oh, boy!" he reflected.
“Would a-been, too,” Hank sup
plied, “if we hadn’t stopped off at
that jungle the night before.’
George patted his pocket. “This
saved our hides,” he said impor
tantly.
“What?’ Major asked.
“I'm coming to that,” Georgie
nodded wisely. “First, I'll finish
my story.” Food and clean clothes
had restored his confidence. “The
cops took us up to court.”
“Runs in your family,” Robbie
commented.
Georgie winked at him. “The
judge asked could we prove we
weren’t vagrants—that we had a
place to go. We proved it,” Geor
?ia said, tapping his pocket. “He
et us off, but we had to be out
of town in an hour. The first train
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, CEORGIA,
out was hauling manure—""
Molly shrieked.
“Lucky, too. It gets eold in
Georgia. We burrowed into that
nice warm, soft bed, and baby, did
we sleep!” .
While he dwelt privately on the
charms of a nice, warm, soft bed,
{ Hank said; “We rode her the whole
way.”
“With nothing to eat?”’ Molly
exclaimed, 4
“Sure, we ate,” Georgia said.
“Every time the train stopped, ‘we
]sneaked out and loaded up with a
sack of hamburgers. We ate but
| good.”

l “Go on. Then what?” Major in

;from his loving memory of the

I “Not as dirty as the other stuff,

| Georgie reached into his pocket
; and+hauled forth a piece of crum

He pressed it out on. his knee be
fore handing it over to his father.
We were all breathing down
Major’s neck as he read the large
black headline:’ R
ARMY MAJOR SENTENCED TO
THREE DAYS IN LOCAL JAIL
FOR SPEEDING.
“Where’d you get this?” Major
demanded, hastily crumpling the
paper back into a ball,
“A friend.”
“l said where?” He glanced
suspiciously at Molly, but she was
as interested in Geoigie's answer
as he was.
« “Oh . .. This is what made it
lucky we stopped that night in the
jungle,” Georgie said, apparently
relishing keeping his father’s curi
osity unsatisfied, for he looked
around the circle to make sure he
had our attention, and licked his
ghops as though he found the go
ing good. “A 'bo from up this
way had a newspaper on him and
he let us look at it. He's the one
who identified us to the judge the
next day.”
“Hadn’t a-been for him,” Hank
broke in excitedly, “we'd a-been
wearing chains.”

had said, to have settled, mature
