or　shall　we　stay？

If　we　go；　how　long　will　it　be　before　you　find　the　local　hole　in　Sidewinder？　a

voice　inside　him　asked。　The　dark　place　with　the　lousy　color　TV　that　unshaven　and

unemployed　men　spend　the　day　watching　game　shows　on？　Where　the　piss　in　the　mens

room　smells　two　thousand　years　old　and　theres　always　a　sodden　Camel　butt

unraveling　in　the　toilet　bowl？　Where　the　beer　is　thirty　cents　a　glass　and　you

cut　it　with　salt　and　the　jukebox　is　loaded　with　seventy　country　oldies？

How　long？　Oh　Christ；　he　was　so　afraid　it　wouldnt　be　long　at　all。

〃I　cant　win；〃　he　said；　very　softly。　That　was　it。　It　was　like　trying　to　play

solitaire　with　one　of　the　aces　missing　from　the　deck。

Abruptly　he　leaned　over　the　Skidoos　motor　partment　and　yanked　off　the

magneto。　It　came　off　with　sickening　ease。　He　looked　at　it　for　a　moment；　then

went　to　the　equipment　sheds　back　door　and　opened　it。

From　here　the　view　of　the　mountains　was　unobstructed；　picture…postcard

beautiful　in　the　twinkling　brightness　of　morning。　An　unbroken　field　of　snow　rose

to　the　first　pines　about　a　mile　distant。　He　flung　the　magneto　as　far　out　into

the　snow　as　he　could。　It　went　much　further　than　it　should　have。　There　was　a

light　puff　of　snow　when　it　fell。　The　light　breeze　carried　the　snow　granules　away

to　fresh　resting　places。　Disperse　there；　I　say。　Theres　nothing　to　see。　Its　all

over。　Disperse。

He　felt　at　peace。

He　stood　in　the　doorway　for　a　long　time；　breathing　the　good　mountain　air；　and

then　he　closed　it　firmly　and　went　back　out　the　other　door　to　tell　Wendy　they

would　be　staying。　On　the　way；　he　stopped　and　had　a　snowball　fight　with　Danny。

THE　HEDGES

It　was　November　29；　three　days　after　Thanksgiving。　The　last　week　had　been　a

good　one；　the　Thanksgiving　dinner　the　best　theyd　ever　had　as　a　family。　Wendy

had　cooked　Dick　Halloranns　turkey　to　a　turn　and　they　had　all　eaten　to　bursting

without　even　ing　close　to　demolishing　the　jolly　bird。　Jack　had　groaned　that

they　would　be　eating　turkey　for　the　rest　of　the　winter　—　creamed　turkey；　turkey

sandwiches；　turkey　and　noodles；　turkey　surprise。

No；　Wendy　told　him　with　a　little　smile。　Only　until　Christmas。　Then　we　have　the

capon。

Jack　and　Danny　groaned　together。

The　bruises　on　Dannys　neck　had　faded；　and　their　fears　seemed　to　have　faded

with　them。　On　Thanksgiving　afternoon　Wendy　had　been　pulling　Danny　around　on　his

sled　while　Jack　worked　on　the　play；　which　was　now　almost　done。

〃Are　you　still　afraid；　doc？〃　she　had　asked；　not　knowing　bow　to　put　the

question　less　baldly。
