'Renzo had a finer streak. He thought of girls and he talked of girls. But he didn't go past a certain point. Some innate fineness held him back, there. A girl lived behind our farm; to go to town she had to drive through our farm to get to the mam road. Each time she went by. 'Renzo must have thought his thoughts, but he never said anything that told me what was going on in his mind Once, as we were trimming hedge near her house, we saw one of her undergarments on the clothesline. It set my mind jumping and it must have fired 'Renzo's too, but he made only some mild remark and went on whacking. The girl became aware of us. plucked the undergarment oil the line and darted back into the house. guess we can do a better Job said Renzo and although I now, tried to lead him into more talk, when we rented, it was all he would say. It may have been he thought 1 was too young, or that my father would not approve; but on the whole I think it was a bit of fineness in humble Renzo. He bought a buggy, with the spokes staggered in red hubs, spread his lap robe on the back of the seat, and asked the girls to try his new buggy. But they found excuses. He was too smart not to understand and. at times, had depressed spells 'Renzo who had always been so cheerful and the life of our fireside. He became secretive and wrote letters and took them down to the mailman and handed them to him personally. On the day he expected an answer he would manage to meet the carrier before he got to our box. But in spite of this, now and then there would be a nice neat little envelope addressed to Lorenzo Davis among our farm papers and incubator catalogues. He would put the letter into his hip pocket, as if it didn't amount to much. Sometimes, at the barn, I would see the ends he had ragged off. In the meantime he continued to trade. In a big businessman this would have been called "financial shrewdness. We called it dicker- i Girl Wanted, and walked slowly from one group of girls to another. Other boys were also wearing the button, but his really meant something to 'Renzo. Finally he said he had been offered a job in Holt county; when he left he had two horses and two or three pieces of farm machinery, and some money in the bank. We hated to see him go. It was lonesome that evening without 'Renzo and his violin. Two years later, possibly, he drove a girl beside up in a spring-wagoHow do you like her? him. he asked proudly. He stayed for dinner and we talked over old limes, delighted to have 'Renzo at our table again. The girl, we found, was a hired girl working for a farmer who had a sickly wife. We liked the girl. She was all right. But the one we really liked was 'Renzo. We telephoned the neighbors and several of them came in. He introduced her proudly. Once there was a slip, for one of the neighbors pretended that 'Renzo had sparked every girl in the neighborhood I think this hurt 'Renzo a little, for the real truth of it must have flashed before him. We went out and had a stock weighing and Pa let him guess the closest so 'Renzo could impress his girl. When time came to leave. 'Renzo drove away with his own team, waving to us as he whirled out of the lot. A bit later he sent us a three- line newspaper item, pasted on his letter with white of egg, saying that l.orenzo Davis and Miss had been married and had rented h a farm where they would soon move and set up housekeeping. Two or three years passed Now and then we would get a letter written by his wife asking us how we were and, as she put it, expressing my husbands best wishes " One day we were surprised and delighted to have 'Renzo swirl up in our drive lot with a very dashing team cov ered with expensive fly nets He could hardly wait to tell us the So tews. He had bought the farm in our neighborhood! And he tie hadn't had much exactly had money to put down, but he had made the deal and maybe wi'h good luck he could pull through. Well.

And the very girls now women who once turned up their noses at 'Renzo now accept him fully and so does the neighborhood, for he now belongs to the land aristocracy. Our farmer felt Immensely inferior to "city people. as we thought of those who lived in town. There was good reason for it. For when we clunked in in our mud spattered wagons, the "city people" were dashing around on vitrified brick paving in carnages with horses and with buggy whips that stood up straight. As we would pull up in front of the grocery store and get out our measure of oats, the city people would smile h high-steppin- g half-bush- I ing.

Sometimes, as we stood in the back part of the grocery fishing the eggs out of the oats, the city people would come in and purchase things we couldnt even dream of buying. When we went in to trade, the merchants wore fine clothes and had elegant polished manners. When we wanted to buy a pair of shoes, we would feel sensitive because of the milk stains. One day Pa took me in the Bee Hive and said. Id like to get a pair of Sunday shoes for my boy. The man said, "Sit right down. Im sure we can fit you out with any dress shoe you want. We noticed j to think in, but he said, "If you want to go, Homer, I'll manage to send you." I knew how much waa behind thia. Someone must do the work I had been doing; some way muat be provided to get me back and forth, six mile twice a day. When I had gone to Uncle Will Sewelli to visit. It had been twelve miles, a tremendous distance. Now 1 must travel that far each day. Ma drove in to town with me to see the professor and I waa enrolled. Aa the day approached, I became more and more concerned. Could I hold up my end among the smart city boy? On top of thia was another millstone: all my life I had been shy and snd I had the feeling that all the country boya in our section had: inferiority. And I was awkward and 111 at ease and gulpy-throwhen 1 met new people. There was the problem of clothe. And the problem of money to buy them with. "You can wear my Sunday pants. Homer. I protested and yet I did want to wear them. "You go ahead and wear them. I've been thinking of getting a new pair, anyway." Pa must have sensed the violent change that was coming into my life. "Homer. I'll drive you in Monday morning and bring you back. I've got some things I want to do in town. I knew that was a polite lie, but it made me like Pa. Sometimes he seemed so indifferent and impersonal and that I almost hated him; then he would do something that made a warm flash come in my heart. He drove me up in front of the schoolhouse and I climbed down out of the hack. "Ill be up around the Square at noontime." Then he shook the lines and drove slowly away. I did not speak to a soul I didnt have to. I was taller and older than the boys in the freshman class, as I soon discovered, and knew nothing about the ringing of the classroom bells and the constant marching here and there. At noon one of the teachers sat down at a piano and played for us to march out I thought I had just about reached the top in education. Pa was standing in front of the grocery where we always met. "How did you fare, son?" All right, I guess." Well, I guess wed better eat. Well go to the short order today." No eating in the back of the y today. It was where the farmers went and where we felt at home. He said proudly to one of the men, "My sons just startin a term of school. The man looked me over. "Aint he goin to be a farmer?" "Sure he is, said Pa confidently. At the end of the meal he said, You neednt hurry when school dismisses. Ill be around the grocery. There he was. when school was out, patiently waiting. The next day I was on my own. In my clothes, I moved about in this new and complicated world in a sort of daze. When I arrived each morning I hated to go in, and when school dismissed I darted away to where I had my horse stabled and clunked off for home as fast as I could. Mornings were worst. As I rode in on old Dave, I would have to pass students on the way to school. 1 d felt horribly ashamed of Dave who had a way of making distressing noises. I was the only one who had to clump in on horseback and when Dave rumbled by, the students would turn their eyes on us, and it seemed to me I would die. I soon discovered the streets most frequented, and veered my course so I wouldnt be seen by so many students. Now and then a boy would come- out of his home, fresh from breakfast and fall in with friends on the way to school. It seemed to me the very epitome of luxury to be able to live in town, get up late, and have gay friends to walk to PATTF.RXS such things. All of us country boys felt a dreadful sense of inferiority and, when we met on the street or walked together, we didnt laugh and joke and have a good time the way we did Sunday afternoons on the farm. We could spot a town boy coming a block and we could see him nudge his friend and make funny remarks. We'd pretend we didnt see, or slink out of sight on the stairway going up to a photographers, and talk in low. constrained tones. Sometimes we would meet at dinnertime in the back of the grocery store and talk together as we ate our cheese and crackers. But not the hearty way we did on the farm. The town girls would sweep down the street, three abreast, arms locked; when we saw them coming, we would swing over so they could pass. in the paper was a department called "Society, w'flere we would read about the people as if they were titled foreigners. No farmer ever got into Society. On another page was a department called Selected Jottings. A farmer could get into that, but usually he had to top the hog market, or have a calf. But there was one place we felt at ease; the Pavilion. This was the arena where, every other Saturday afternoon, horses and mules and cattle and sheep were auctioned off Sometimes household plunder The farmers would stand around m their muddy boots and their caps with earlaps and feel at home; no city man ever came there unless he wanted to see us queer people. Sometimes. however, the city boys would come But this was a different world our world- - and they didn't mon- key around long.

At noon the boys and girls went to their homes, but I went to the widows stable where I kept Dave. I would water him and put his feed in his box, then sit down near him and the two of us would eat. The barn was so gloomy and that I wanted to take my lunch somewhere else. But there was the problem of the other students who always seemed to be smiling at me. I began putting my lunch in my pocket and going behind the Methodist Church. But now and then someone would come through the alley and stare. Finally I hit on a new plan. There was an areaway back of the church and I would lower myself into it and unwrap my Naturally a man looks old beyond his years when hes sore from lumbago or other muscle pains.
