Every
few
days
,
all
me
life
,
I
’
d
to
be
called
up
,
looked
over
,
and
refused
a
home
and
love
,
on
account
of
me
hand
and
ugly
face
;
but
it
was
all
the
home
I
’
d
ever
known
,
and
I
didn
’
t
seem
to
belong
to
any
place
else
.
“
Then
a
new
superintendent
was
put
in
.
He
wasn
’
t
for
being
like
any
of
the
others
,
and
he
swore
he
’
d
weed
me
out
the
first
thing
he
did
.
He
made
a
plan
to
send
me
down
the
State
to
a
man
he
said
he
knew
who
needed
a
boy
.
He
wasn
’
t
for
remembering
to
tell
that
man
that
I
was
a
hand
short
,
and
he
knocked
me
down
the
minute
he
found
I
was
the
boy
who
had
been
sent
him
.
Between
noon
and
that
evening
,
he
and
his
son
close
my
age
had
me
in
pretty
much
the
same
shape
in
which
I
was
found
in
the
beginning
,
so
I
lay
awake
that
night
and
ran
away
.
I
’
d
like
to
have
squared
me
account
with
that
boy
before
I
left
,
but
I
didn
’
t
dare
for
fear
of
waking
the
old
man
,
and
I
knew
I
couldn
’
t
handle
the
two
of
them
;
but
I
’
m
hoping
to
meet
him
alone
some
day
before
I
die
.
”
McLean
tugged
at
his
mustache
to
hide
the
smile
on
his
lips
,
but
he
liked
the
boy
all
the
better
for
this
confession
.
“
I
didn
’
t
even
have
to
steal
clothes
to
get
rid
of
starting
in
me
Home
ones
,
”
Freckles
continued
,
“
for
they
had
already
taken
all
me
clean
,
neat
things
for
the
boy
and
put
me
into
his
rags
,
and
that
went
almost
as
sore
as
the
beatings
,
for
where
I
was
we
were
always
kept
tidy
and
sweet
-
smelling
,
anyway
.
I
hustled
clear
into
this
State
before
I
learned
that
man
couldn
’
t
have
kept
me
if
he
’
d
wanted
to
.
When
I
thought
I
was
good
and
away
from
him
,
I
commenced
hunting
work
,
but
it
is
with
everybody
else
just
as
it
is
with
you
,
sir
.
Big
,
strong
,
whole
men
are
the
only
ones
for
being
wanted
.
”
“
I
have
been
studying
over
this
matter
,
”
answered
McLean
.
“
I
am
not
so
sure
but
that
a
man
no
older
than
you
and
similar
in
every
way
could
do
this
work
very
well
,
if
he
were
not
a
coward
,
and
had
it
in
him
to
be
trustworthy
and
industrious
.
”
Freckles
came
forward
a
step
.
“
If
you
will
give
me
a
job
where
I
can
earn
me
food
,
clothes
,
and
a
place
to
sleep
,
”
he
said
,
“
if
I
can
have
a
Boss
to
work
for
like
other
men
,
and
a
place
I
feel
I
’
ve
a
right
to
,
I
will
do
precisely
what
you
tell
me
or
die
trying
.
”
He
spoke
so
convincingly
that
McLean
believed
,
although
in
his
heart
he
knew
that
to
employ
a
stranger
would
be
wretched
business
for
a
man
with
the
interests
he
had
involved
.
“
Very
well
,
”
the
Boss
found
himself
answering
,
“
I
will
enter
you
on
my
pay
rolls
.
We
’
ll
have
supper
,
and
then
I
will
provide
you
with
clean
clothing
,
wading
-
boots
,
the
wire
-
mending
apparatus
,
and
a
revolver
.
The
first
thing
in
the
morning
,
I
will
take
you
the
length
of
the
trail
myself
and
explain
fully
what
I
want
done
.
All
I
ask
of
you
is
to
come
to
me
at
once
at
the
south
camp
and
tell
me
as
a
man
if
you
find
this
job
too
hard
for
you
.
It
will
not
surprise
me
.
It
is
work
that
few
men
would
perform
faithfully
.
What
name
shall
I
put
down
?
”
