When Madm returned to the boat with the
tray, Billy was tingling stowaway under the
pile of thatch screens that were raised to roof
the boat during the rains. MadH knew as
we'll as he did that Lab Island was strictly.
absolutely forbidden territory to Billy; but
the motor started up with a roar and the
fifteen-minute crossing began and ended with
out discovery.
When Mador carried the tray up the beach
to one end of the long group of thatched huts
surrounded by bamboo fence that was
Robert Kemedys island laboratory, Billy
made for the other end and squeezed through
the fence. And within twenty seconds he'd
met his friend.
He was monkey not much smaller than
Billy, with lonely gray face and little blink
ing eyes and black hands and he was in
bamboo cage with plastic card above it. On
the plastic card was written "G22."
Billy said hello. Quietly. because his father
and the assistant couldn't be far away.
The monkey blinked.
My names Billy. And your names G22
can read letters and figures"
G22 pushed small black hand through the
bars of his cage and Billy shock it formally.
the way gown-ups did. He said, Il like you.
Do you like me?"
G22 sort of grinned then, and Billy moved
closer. They spent twenty minutes together.
then Billy sighed, Got to 60 now. But III
come tomorrow. never met monkey before.
l asked and asked my Dad to take me to the
jungle and see the monkeys, but he never has
time for anything. Good-by. G22"
1HAT was the first day. Billy had been across
ten more days and still nobody had found out.
Only the last two times G22 had been differ
ent. Not grinning any more, not taking the
sugar cube. just blinking slowly.
''G22, you don't feel good. do you?" Billy
said. pressing his face to the cage. ''Never
mind I was sick last month Soon better"
But the next day G22 didn't look better He
looked worse. He hardly opened his eyes, and
it looked as if his little arm couldn't reach out
to take Billy's hand or the sugar cube. He
just leaned back and looked like an old, old
monkey.
Billy exclaimed in helpless dismay, loving
his friend more than ever "G22, don't be

like that! Why don't you eat your bananas?"
But G22 only gave him one more glance of
unhappy friendship and closed his eyes again.
Under his palm tree that afternoon Billy
thought a long, long time. and in the end he
decided to confess everything to his father.
Because his father could make sick folks bet
ter with medicine, and it looked as if his father
didn't know yet that G22 was sick. Yes, he'd
have to confess his journeys to the island, 50
G22 would get good strong medicine. :.
Only he didn't confess after all. Because by
the time his father came back, long after sum
set, Billy was badly sick himself. His father
stared and said something to himself and
looked grim as thunder and wouldn't let him
even try to talk. The medicine he gave Billy
tasted strong and he knew he was sick and he
couldn't say proper prayer for G22. not even
in his head, because it was hurting so.
ALL that week, while Billy edged closer and
closer to death despite all he could do for him,
it seemed to Robert Kennedy that he himself
was edging closer to final breakdown
As soon as poor Mary died. he ought to
have packed the boy off, But where? Mary
had left him and Billy quite alone in the world
she'd made so sweet for them; the boy would
have had to 60 to some sort of nursery board
ing school, He'd put it to Billy, and Billy had
cried and said he wanted to stay with him.
and somehow that had seemed the best way.
But Billy ought to have gone, just the same,
away from the danger area of this dreadful
disease. That short illness of Billy the month
they came here he'd diagnosed as mercifully
light case of the batting island polio and been
confident it had immunized the boy from
another attack. That, though. seemed to have
been one of the things he'd been too sure of.
Another was the idea that the boy hadn't
meant great deal to him. Not like this, the
way he watched by the bed in agony and
prayed for the first time m years. Prayed, as
the days and nights dragged by, for miracle
He had done all he could, tried all the
weapons he'd 50 far discovered against the
scourge that was his personal enemy. And
though Billy held on gamely, the scourge
seemed strong as ever. and Billy COULDN'T be far
short of exhaustion. So he prayed for miracle.
The miracle happened ON the sixth mid
night. Billy suddenly turned his head ON his
stiff little neck and said, "G22."
His fathers dark eyes stared, and shiver
wavered down his spine. He hadn't imagined
it. The words had been clear. A miracle. How
else could small child utter the name of one
of the last ser,uns he'd prepared in his island
laboratory?
Like a madman he ran down the starlit
beach, launched the boat and steeed for the
island. Bursting into the assistant 8 bungalow,
he woke him with shout
Chang! The G22! Is it ready?" He hadn't

reports Chang brought him. Its my kids
last chance. I'm going to try it,
The young Chinese gasped. He knew as
well As Robert Kennedy the terrible risk of
using the serum on patient at this stage.

cause brain Inflammation, kill within hours
Bring it, Chang!" Kennedy was no cool,
dispassionate scientist now. He was man
exhausted. father crazed by the fear of losing
all he loved in the world gambler stalking
everything recklessly on miracle.
Twenty minutes later he gasped an un-
steady prayer and plunged hypodermic into
his unconscious sons arm.
He knew, of course he knew, that even if
G22 was at last the answer he'd hunted for
two years its help had surely come too late to
save the boy. Yes, he knew that, but still he
hoped. Because this sickness had already
defed so much of the theory he'd come armed
with, SO often proved its independence from
all known forms of the disease His despair
ing, Pickering faith in G22 never quite died.
1t wasn't faith. though. it was the clear
evidence of his eyes that told him two days
later that Billy was pulling through. Three
more days, and Billy sat up unsteadly in bed
and said, Il want to see G22"
"G22?" Kennedy's dark brown eyes. still
haggard, blinked in bewilderment.
'Yes, he's my friend, Billy said.
1T ALL came out then. In the end Robert
Kennedy stared long time at the son he'd
known so little. The story of his loneliness
had hurt him desperately and he was making
a VOW for the future
When Billy asked again, When can see
G22?" he told him he'd see him in the morn
ing. And soon after the sun rose Billy gave
shy, shaky smile as his father came through
the door carrying friendly monkey.
Hello, G22!" he said eagerly, and then he
frowned. He looks sort of littler'
so do you. Billy" his father said. You're
little and thin because you've been sick. C22
was sick. too. Remember? So he looks bit
different, of course"
''Oh. Can he come on my bed?"
He can stay with you as long as you like. "
Billy beamed, and the lonely young mon
key. who'd been captured in the mainland
jungle only two days ago and was being
introduced to cage labeled G3l when DR..
Kennedy came and fetched him away. held
out thin, uncertain hand to Billy. In two
minutes they were friends, and in the sick
room three hearts looked toward happier
future
And G22? Oh, yes, Billy had found true
friend there. Because what Billy would never
learn was that the G22 he first knew had done
for him the most friend can do for friend
and died to buy his future. The End

IDLY had friend He had no mother any
I'D more and his father hadn't much time,
and maybe not much heart, to be father to
him. But he had friend, and his friends
name was G22.
Even Town-up can break his heart with
loneliness BiIly's father, Dr.. Robert Ken
nedy, had come near it after Billy's mother
died last year.) When you're only fotn-and-a-
half it's maybe even worse. The day he met
G22 the first time, Billy had been 50 lonely
he'd just stopped doing anything at all for
whole hour.
When the cross old Chinese onsah had
washed his tanned face and brushed his
hleached hair and given him his lonely, early
lunch (she always made it early to give her
self longer siesta) he'd gone down to the
beach and tried to dig out hermit crabs. But
he'd been doing that all the morning. and the
tropical sun was like hammer on his naked
back. So he'd retired to the shade of his
favorite palm and just said his ABC's over
and over again and his figures up to fifty.
LIN THE occasional half-hor his father could
spare from his work on Lab Island las he'd
renamed the islet across the bay) they hardly
ever played game together. With his son,
Robert Kennedy was never much more than
shy, tired stranger and he'd fallen back on
teaching the boy his alphabet and his figures
1t turned their few times together into
routine that didn't call for intimacy.
So Billy said his ABC's eighteen times and
counted up to fifty over and over again. Then
he stopped and just did nothing at all, his
blue eyes not really seeing the beach or the
blue South China Sea, just being alone and
lonely Until Mador, his fathers boatman,
came up the beach and went into the balnga-
low, which meant he was fetching his fathers
lunch to take across to Lab Island.
His father couldn't even spare time to come
back to lunch with him. Billy couldn't know,
but Dr.. Kennedy was man with devils at
his heels: a promising young immunologist
working as volunteer on the batting disease,
believed to be distant variant of polio. that
ravaged these islands. He was researching on
a shoestring, with time and money giving out
and no victory in sight. So all DR.. Kennedy
could do was to put even more of himself into
the fight, leaving less time than ever for Billy.
