method of seeing that he had
a little pocket money.
Every time the boy got irri-
tated with the army-and who
esn't, at times? - he'd
threaten:
1--WE had enough of this-here.
One more thing and I'll just
take of over that blank-blank
hill again."
But he never did. and with
his native Mississippi canniness
he'll make a good soldier.
l spent II weeks standing In
line or marching about an arms
length away from him, so I
heard "a good deal OF his
threatening. At first we really
thought he was going to run off
again, and / think he felt that
way. too.
You could see the change
coming over him gradually. In
fact, he did have some reason
for worrying about affairs at
home. and I had some notion
of them because 1 sometimes
read his letters for him.
He could read his own name
and pick out a few words, but
reading a whole letter was be-
yond his capacity, so he'd come
over during a break, or after
retreat and ask you to read his
mail to him, sometimes want
ing a letter read over two or
three times.
If the troubles we're too sert
Gus at home, he'd still mutter
blackly:
"T'll list have to take of over
that old hill again."
But 1 guess he felt the atti-
tude of every one around him.
So far as I know, nobody ever
tried to argue him into agree
ing to stay. He just felt the
chill whenever he mentioned
running away.
So-he never ran away.
