This summer Missus Brown
went an had a talk with the psy-
chologist. Heexplains what Edgar's
complex is due to. He advises
Missus Brown not to bring up the
subject of school at all. She is not
even supposed to let Edgar know
she has bought him any school
clothes.
I'm not sure how Edgar takes
this change of summer tactics:
l saw him around but he was
always talkin' baseball or fire en-
gines or super-jets, an wasn't
goin' to mention school to him.
LAST Monday mornin' when
school was due to start, Missus
Brown went into Edgar's room.
She was goin' to wake Edgar up
an say offhand-like, Guess you
better dress for school, son."
But Edgar wasn't in. There
was a note pinned to his pillow.
Dear Mom," it said. Il am
going out to Uncle Ralph's farm.
He lets me play jumping into the
hay because l throw hay down for
the cows and he doesn't have to
do it. Your son, Edgar.
P.S. I expect you ought to tell
the teacher you have decided to
let me stay ignorant. Then she
won't worry about why l don't
come to school. WAllY bOREN

Edgar Brown was Late for the

one of our leadin' child psycholo-

For four years hand-runnin' be-

knew you right away. l used to lie
inbed and look at you every night. "
She thought in confusion that
he had mistaken her for somebody
else, and she started to say: I'm
afraid that 49," and then she
caught herself and Redeemed.
Deke's face wrinkled up like a
monkeys when he grinned. It was
spattered with freckles; they dot
ted his forehead clear up to the
roots of his receding reddish hair.
JEFF laughed. and she bent over
the highball glasses, placing ice
carefully with pair of tongs.
Even in the airplane he always
had a picture of you. stuck up in
front of him." Deke Topped in a
chair and dangled leg over the
upholstered arm: he had on Texas
boots, comfortably shapeless.
I'VE used to figure that it brought
us luck. Anyway, we used to get
back. That's why we named the
plane after you" He saw the blank
surprise on her face as she straight
ened, and he said to jeff: Don't
tell me you never told her."
Jeff said sheepishly: Cigarette,
Deke?"
Deke took the silver box, and
turned it in his hand to study the
engraving. Il see you still got it,
eh. jeff" He grinned at Helen;
Il suppose he never told you how
he got this box, either"
She looked at Jeff. He was very
busy opening a new bottle of
Scotch - ANYBODY got a knife?"
and pouring it into glasses; he
avoided her eyes. He handed a
highball to Deke: Where are you
stationed now?"
Evening star., 1949-09-18

He lounged to his feet and
picked up his crumpled cap; he
swung it on his forefinger for a .
moment, and grinned at Helen.
anyhow, I'm glad l finally got a
look at you, after all Jeff said
about you. Probably he never said
it to you. That's Jeff. He never
says anything. He takes it for
granted that you know" He took
her hand again. "Jeff's a lucky
guy" he said. you're both
lucky"
SHE said slowly as he left: I'm
glad you came.
The outside door slammed, and
Jeff came back. He seemed en-
barrassed; he began picking up
glasses, emptying ashtrays into
the fireplace. 'Deke's all right.
He talks a lot" She was standing
in the center of the room, and his
eyes met hers, uneasily. What
was it you we're just about to say?"
She took a step toward him,
and suddenly she was inside his
arms. Il forget what it was" she
said into the depths of his coat.
II guess it wasn't very important. -"
He laughed in relief, and she
laughed, too, clinging to him in
side his arms. He did not need to
say anything; it went without say
ing. He released her at last, and
she turned away quickly so that
he would not see her eyes were
wet. "Ill leave some milk and
sandwiches in the icebox," she
said. You've got a lot of study
ing to do"
The bedroom door was half
open, and she lay in bed and
watched his profile in the light of
the reading lamp, and after a
while she turned over happily
and went to sleep. The End

told Helen. Like the time he got
us back on two engines. The rest
of us expected to ditch, but Jeff
said he'd get us into Two, and he
did. That's when the crew gave
him the box here. OF course, he
wouldn't say anything about it. -
Jeff was filling his pipe: his slen-
der well-shaped fingers tamped
tobacco into the bowl. She thought
of his fingers working the controls
of the crippled airplane, fighting
it back across the Pacific. She WON
dered whether it was one of those
nights when she had awakened
suddenly with the premonition
that somewhere on the other side
of the world Jeff was in danger.
Staring at the darkness, she had
tried to imagine what it would
ever be like to live without him.
''lT's funny what you think
about, a time like that" Deke
mused. Il remember thinking that
if I got back I was going to have
the biggest highball in the world.

you. He kept telling me how he

However, right after July 4, Edgar
begins to think up reasons why he

Missus Brown is horrifed the
way a good mother ought to be,
