Joe Saw The FaWn

in any hollow, behind any tree or bush.
He looked at his watch - he had been at
this more than an hour. He thought of the
man who had killed the doe, and cursed him
aloud. But the man and what he had done
were no longer important. There was only
one important thing. Hargan knew now,
with absolute certainty, that he was going
to keep on looking for the fawn until he
found it or was physically incapable of TAX
ing another step.
He fell, twisting an ankle. But it was just
a minor Sprain. All it did was to make the
going still slower and more difficult Soaked
clay stuck to his trousers and gave them
the weight of lead. He stopped and took
bearings he should move toward the
road. 1t wasn't likely the fawn would be
this deep in the woods unless it had fled in
wild panic.
Suddenly he noticed that the rain
had stopped. He caught gIimpseS of sun
through tree branches. And the sun was
high. He looked at his watch. Six hours
since he had started.
He thought, quite without logic, of Betty
Crawford. If she could only see him now!
But never mind about Betty, never mind
about Clarendon or the house and the
store. The fawn
Then he saw it.
1t was crouched by tree, so gaunt and
tiny it was wonder he had seen it at all.
The legs were no more than matches. Its
eyes were huge. out of all proportion to the
body. 1t was trembling, but the great eyes
never left him.
He approached it slowly, talking very
gently under his breath. Its all right now.
Don't be scared. That's the chap"
He gathered the fawn into his arms. 1t
was incredibly light and fragile. He stroked
it, and its trembling seemed to lessen.
Good boy" Hargan said. Nov we're
going to get out of here"

fawnS fed that way when he was kid. And
the game warden would see to the fawn's
future. Yes, the job was finished. He
started for the road and the car.
when he was halfway there he
stopped, abruptly. A queer thing was going
on. His mind was telling him that he hadn't
felt this good in years. He was mildew-wet,
and he was cut and bruised and sprained,
but he had found the fawn! 1t was job
that, in all logic, should never have been
started. But he had found the fawn! He
held it close to him as he drove.
Going through Clarendon, he saw Car

visiting them one day. But he didn't think
SO. Once you started to finish things it
probably became a habit. Joe Hargan
laughed. He came to the street where Betty
Crawford lived and saw the white cottage
in the distance. And then he saw Betty
herself, doing something to flower bed.
She turned at the sound of his voice, and
he saw the surprise on her face. Then the
surprise turned to shock. Joe! Joe, what
happened to ="
He said, Come here, Betty. want to
show you something"
She came to the car, still staring at him,
her eyes wide. He must look something
awful, he thought, and laughed again. He
said, Il seem to have acquired friend"
She saw the fawn then. but where -"

out carefully, Look, Betty, I'd like to talk
to you. It's quite story. Get in, will you?
There, beside my friend"
She looked at him for long moment.
A pretty girl, level-eyed girl, a girl who
believed in finishing things. Quite girl.
Then she walked around to the other side of
the car, and he opened the door for her, and
she got in beside the fawn. - The End

TIL E P A S T
BY CAROLYN LLOYD

The whole world is conspiring to
give me an inferiority complex.
Now that that statement is writ
ten, am reminded of an occasion
upon which / was complaining
about some inclement weather
which interfered with something /
had planned to do. A friend re-
marked, "You must think you are
mighty important for the Lord to
send bad weather just to spite
you" OF course, only a small seq
ment of the world is even aw,
of my existence-it is just the
general trend of civilization that is
producing the complex.
Recently, attended club meet
ing, where a much-traveled woman
was the guest speaker. She punctu-
ated her remarks with, "Those of
you who have been to Spain," and
"Those of you have visited Italy,"
etc. Now, I don't think that she
was trying to impress us; she just
took for granted that members of
a group such as she was address
ing had been abroad. 1t occurred to
me that it has been several years
since have been more than two
hundred miles away from home.
Once upon a time, I felt pretty
well-traveled, HAVING visited Cana
da and most of the states east of
the Mississippi. Nowadays, anyone
who hasn't covered most of the
globe is downright provincial, and
I see no hope of catching up at
this late date. 1 teach geography
and history in school and then my
pupils send me postcards from the
places we have talked about. It's
frustrating.
The inferiority complex is
heightened when l read about
things which are taken for grant
ed today by scientific minds but
remain mystery to me; for in
stance, an announcement about a
program by the Institute of Field
Physics at the University of North
Carolina. I quote: "The Institute
is investigating the specific prof.
ects relating to space science in
Guiding experimental and observa-
tional tests of grational tests of
gravitation and theory and analy-
sis of metaphysical data to dis
criminate among various cosmolog-
ical models"
| don't even know what they are
talking about! There was time
when a person of average intelli-
gence could hope to keep up with
new ideas, but today ones mind
must be attuned to cosmic rays or
something even to translate such
sentences. Unless one is dumb
enough not to care about keeping
up with anything except the local
gossip, it is enough to create an
inferiority complex.
Reading about the Institute con-
WINGED me of one thing: if that
sort of study is going on at Caro-
lima, somebody there is doing
something besides playing poker.
1t is conceivable that student
may have burning interest in
rockets, satellites, and space We
hicles and still like a little game
now and then; but it is inconceiv-
able that he could play poker every
night and still pass course in adj
vanced physics.
The fact remains that / have
brains enuogh for neither poker nor
physics. Hats off to the younger
