grand kid. 1 only wish L were half

I am sixteen and would have gone
to school only my father made me
quit two years ago and go to work
One of my sisters is going to leave
home soon because she can't have
any of the money she earns They
take all 1 earn, too. There are nine
of US and I am next to the oldest.
l hate my home and my folks, too.
For three weeks ! have earned a dol
lar extra and kept it out of my pay.

night taking in movies and having
good time. When l got home my
father was going to thrash me, but
got away. 1 don't think 1 need to
stand that when L earn over one

big enough to lick him now.
1 can't have decent clothes or save
anything or even have a good time.
My sister will be of age soon, but she
says 1 can't leave until 1 am twenty
one. and 1 don't think that is fair.
Could 1 enlist in the navy or would
I have to lie about my age? The
folks could collect my pay if did.

chance to travel and see things. I
want to get away where I never have
to see my folks again. L would not
feel this way if they were good to

that 1 could get to be something

There's Mr.. Kemp-over there in

of US and bowed. Everett turned to

caught him bowling. He scowled the

Kemp's greeting by a faint bow.
