Mr.. Editor:
This is an account Of my trip
hack tot Kansas, the old home place
Of nv parents. We left KenneWick
Sunday about ten o'clock. Our first
stop was Boise, Idaho, which we
made by II pm, the longest time
We were on the road any one day.
Our journey made a total OF 1923
miles in the four days.
The trip between here and Pendle-
ton had number Of fine views as
We climbed the Blue mountains.
Emigrant park looked to be a nice
place to spend the day picnicking.
At Pendleton there was still fair
size c rowd of rodeo visitors in
town. Between Baker and Durkee I
seaw q large number of small mines
where they were trying to find gold.
Soon after leaving Durkee I saw my
first railroad tunnel. East Of Soda
Springs, soon after getting to the
Snake river, we say ever so many
beautiful water falls, coming out of
the ock cliffs. They were supposed
to be water from one of Idaho's lost
rivers. One was SO large they had
built a power house and were gener-
ating electricity.
At Green river, Wyoming, I saw
an oil refinery plant. There is also
. very large stone over 200 feet high
on the bluffs one block from. the
business center. At Hama there are
some coal mines also a long snow
shed. At Rock River wheat was still
In the shock. There were many
freak stones; some looked like fish,
some like butter and other animals.
AS we crossed over the Cheyenne
Lamira pass at an elevation of
1885 feet could notice the differ
ence In my breathing.
We visited the AdamS-Lincoln
monument. It is built out of high
blocks OF granite, like the pyramids
OF Egypt, over so feet high. Also saw
stone mounted sheep facing the
east just as We left the mountain. It
was supposed to be a warning to the
sneep men Of the early days to keep
tnelr 1locks to the east of the point
at North Plat.
we saw Buffalo Bills monumen.

Swell! Now shut up and listen to some sense.
There's a biscuit factory there, big one. l
know, because took walk after it got dark
and looked the place over They must hire easy
a couple of thousand month. If we're lucky,
they pay off every two weeks because that
means double dough when we pull the job. Get

"Sure. But what's it got to do with Pop"
The restless blue eyes stabbed him briefly.
You forgetting l told you about how bank

Job in the biscuit factory if you pull that baby

The Kid quailed from Chalky's contempt.
He saw his dream of teaming up with big
timer torn to shreds by his own stupidity.
He clutched at Chalkys arm.
Look! It's not too late. The kitchen doors
still unlocked can sneak back"

4hirteen years. oatmeal had been the thing that
had nerved him to bust out and take to the
road. They had it for breakfast with blue milk;
at lunch they added potatoes and called it soup;
at Supper meat balls were dumped in - a stew.
Grinning, he lit cigarettes, one after another,
and watched the big hand of the kitchen clock
make two slow revolutions. He pinched out the
last butt and unlocked the door with infinite
care The weight of the gun in his pocket was
proof that his luck was still riding high. Chalky
would never know he had lost it. The Kid had
already thought up plausible alibi, to explain
why he had bungled his first holdup job.
Between long lines of empty freight cars
Chalky greeted the breathless kid with pro-
fame whisper.
well? What kept you half the night?
Where's the dough-"
He leaned against a rusted coupling and
listened to the Kids glib tale of bad luck bal
anced by shrewd getaway. He was big man
with stony blue eyes that had a habit of jerking
to left and right. His face had milky pallor,
accentuated by the blush beard shadow under
!. his taut, close-shaven skin. 1t wasn't until the
Kid got to the big joke about Pop Daley and his
oatmeal that Chalky became interested.
81 guess made mistake. You're too dumb
for fast company"
-Aphast, the Kid stared at him. 81 don't get
you. Nobody could have made that holdup
stick"
Forget about the holdup." He cursed under
his breath. "Wait! Was the old guy asleep

How much luck do you want? You're
workin' for me, amt YOU
The Kid sped away. His heart beat faster as
he crept up. the wooden steps to the kitchen
door. Suppose Pop had heard him leave! Sup
pose he'd come downstairs and locked the door!
1t wasn't locked 1t swung open as slick as
butter and the Kid slipped inside the quiet
kitchen.
When Pop Daley came shambling into the
kitchen at seven-thirty the next morning, the
oatmeal and coffee were ready and piping hot
Pops eyes glowed, but that queer half-smlle
that worried the Kid was playing around the
corners Of the old mans lips.

Il heard you 20 out and come back, Pop
said I'm light sleeper myself"
That was all there was to it. BY the time
breakfast was over and the dishes stacked and
washed the kitchen hummed with pleasant
chatter. The Kid did most of the talking; Pop
beamed and puffed at his blackened brlar.
There was no talk, however, of the Kids imme-
diate plans or how long he meant to stay; no
reference to the attempted holdup. He let Pop
himself suggest the loan of some clean clothes

glances.

thing on your mind?"
"Huh? Oh, heck, let's forget it!'
He didn't bring up the subject OF a
job until late in the evening. He made
Pop promise not to laugh at him, and
Pop didn't. The Kids long hesitant
spiel was a work of art. He told about
how good it felt to be sorta settled
and well - clean and well-fed and
comfortable. He'd been thinking. :.

Funny how nice people were always 50 dumb.
Maybe it was their dumbness that made you
like them. Pop, with his fool pickerel fishing!
And Doris pinching herself half-buck week
to save up for Christmas presents. Hinting;
with her soft little gigge, that maybe if the Kid
behaved himself and stopped squeezing her
hand, Santa Claus might. .. Nuts!
The second week at the factory dragged.
Wednesday took million years. Thursday a
billion. The Kid quit work that final evening
with beating heart. He walked Doris down the
road toward her home, unable to say word.
Finally he stopped short, swung her roughly
toward him. He kissed her with violence that
made them both gasp. He thought she'd be
angry, but she wasn't.
"Oh, gee. she whispered. "Oh -
honey. :"
1t took him long time to leave her. He was
late when he got home to Pops. The supper
was on the table 1t was hard for him to eat.
But Pop, too, was excited.
"Well, l guess we don't lose this weeks

Doris's when she had hinted about Santa Claus.

"Huh?" The Kids fork halted in mid-air.
