saw that son, at fifty, just such an
other stock:ng-footed, bitter old man
l. don't say that this thought came
to Buzz as his father iayed him with
his abuse. But there was something
unusual. surely. in the non-resistance
with which he allowed the storm to
beat about his head. Something in his
steady. unruff1ed gaze caused the older
man to falter a little in his TRADE. and
finally to stop, almost apprehensively.
Buzz stood regarding him with his .un-
blinking stare. Finally:
You through? ?" said Buzz
"Ya-as," snarled Pa, I'm through.
Get to hell out of There. You'll be hung
yet, you loafer. A good-for- nothing
bum, that's what Get out of hefe!"
I'm gettin'." said Buzz. He took his
hat off the hook and wiped it carefully
with the lower side of his sleeve round
and round. He placed it on his head,
Jauntily, and strol1ed indolently, nom
chalantly down the front steps, along
the cement walk to the street, and so
toward town. The two old people, left
alone in the sudden silence of the
house, stared after the staggering fig
ure until the dim twilight biotteds it
out. And a sinister something seemed
to close it's icy grip about the heart
of one Of them.
Out of the shadows of the great trees
stepped the Kearney girl, like a Jfan
and hungry cat. She thrust one hand
through Buzz's arm and linked it with
the other. 1--WE been waiting for you,

Well here I am" He pulled away
from her, but she twined her arm the
tighter about his.

Even Pa Werner gasped at that
There was nothing dramatic about
Buzz's going. He seemed to be whisked
away. One moment he was eating his
breakfast at an unaccustomeds hour, in
his pest shirt and trousers, his mother,
only half understanding even now,
standing over him with the coffee pot;
the next he was standing with his
cheap shiny suitcase in his hand.
Then he was waiting on the depot

Hefty had hooted hoarsely: "Ya-a-as

And thus Buzz Werner went to war.
He was vague about its locality. 1t

pretty sure it was France. A line from

into submission. And eventually
