tough, wiry one in front and the
huge, hulking one plunging along
after him.
Breathing ir. quick little gasps,
they made the edge of the or-
chard, slid into the Irrigation ditch,
crouched against the bank until
the water vu up to their very
noaea and pulled the overhanging
brush over the tops of their heads.
In a moment came the poese rac-
ing along after them, the armed
men leaping over the ditch and
running ahead into the wood.
The fugitives waited a long
time, unmoving in the muddy
water. Then George, the small
one. whispered a word to Lonnie.
They scrambled up the bank, their
shabby blue denim clothes drip-
plng.
“Come on,” said George.

the bank, submerged his entire
head, and drank in great noisy
gulps, snorting Into the water like

Lennle, wounded, offered to g*
away and leave George. He would
go up Into the hills and find
cave to sleep in, and lie in the
sun all day. and no one would
take away the dead birds and
mice that he loved to pet. He
would do that if George didn't
want him.
“I been mean, ain't I?” said
George softly. “Sure, Lonnie. I
want you to stay with me. Some
body’d shoot you for a coyote. If
you lived up In the hills by your-
self. Besides, you ain't got sens*
enough to find food to keep you
alive. I’m sorry about the birds
Lonnie — first chance I get I'll
find you a pup. You could pet It
harder, and maybe you wouldn't
kill it."
Lennie, mollified, ate his beans
in silence. Then his face lit up with
a happy thought. He begged Georg*
to tell him once again “like you
told me before — how it's gonna
be.” George wearily, but with
good nature, launched into a re-
cital of -their common dream, ut-
tering the words softly, rhythmical-
ly- like a familiar song:'—----------—

George shook the huge shoulder
until Lennie came up.
"That’s good. You drink sou...
George. Take a good big drink."
George nervously sniffed the
scummy water, drank a little, and
splashed handfuls over his face
and head. Then they sat down In
the clearing, hands elapsed around
their drawn-up kneea
"Lennie! What’d you Just take
“out of that pocket?”
Lennie' a dumb, childlike face
grew crafty. "Ain't a thing in my
pocket. George."
"I know. You got it In your
hand. Come on, give it here.
Give it here, / say!*
Lennie reluctantly extended his
great fist. "Aw. It’s only a bird. I
didn’t kill It. Honest. I found It
dead.”
"What do you want of a dead
bird, anyway? Loot week It was a
mouse'"
"I wee pet tin' It with my thumb
while we walked along."
George heaved the little form
Into the river. "You ain't petttn'
no bird while yer walkin' with
me.” i
Lennie turned his head away
and began to whimper. George,
contrite, put a hand on hie shoul-
"Aw. Lennie. I didn't take It
away from you Juet to be mean.
You get a live bird and I'll let you
keep It • little while.”
*T don't know where there Is

remember my eunt need to give

meant to kill ’em, George — but
