20 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD One night a few weeks later, Tim noticed a light burning unusually late in the head cashier ' s cffice and was about to investigate when he met Bill Masters. Some¬ one seems to have forgotten the light in the office, Masters”, said Tim. No, Tim , said Masters, Jerry is up there finishing some important work and told me to tell you he would lock up for the night. So, goodnight, Tim.” Tim turned and walked away slowly, then stopped, reconsidered and started to climb the stairs. Were you going somewhere with those bonds, Jerry?” Tim asked quietly. Jerry wheeled around sharply, a slow flush staining his cheeks as he tried to stuff the bonds back into the safe. Didn ' t Bill tell you that I would be working late, Tim, and that I would lock up?” stammered Jerry. Where were you going with those bonds, Jerry?” repeated Tim. All right, all right”, blustered Jerry, so I am stealing some bonds. What of it? Don ' t you think a fellow gets sick and tired of just sitting here and watching other people with money? I want to have a good time and as scon as Bill and I divide these bonds, I will get what I want.” We ' ve been friends a long time, Jerry , said Tim, and I know how you feel but taking these bonds will not compensate you in the end, for all the fun you ' ve missed during ycur childhood. Then stop and think of your mother. Jerry ran nervcus fingers through his hair and said, Is it my fault that my father deserted my mother fifteen years ago to seek a fortune in the South? Is it my fault if he now is probably one of the richest men in Florida and has forgotten all about his family?” This is a very touching scene, but I am afraid that I must break it up”, drawled a voice from the door and Tim recognized the voice of Bill Masters. Quick, Jerry,” he said, get the bonds and I will take care of our preaching watchman.” Leave Tim alone. Bill,” replied Jerry, I don ' t want him hurt and besides— maybe, this isn ' t the smartest thing to do.” Masters swung around sharply and shouted, I will do away with both of you, and it will appear as if you shot each other in a fight over the bonds. Two shots echoed through the room and Masters lay on the floor, Tim standing over him with a smoking pistol in his hand. Get going, Jerry , he said, I will say that I caught Masters trying to escape with these bonds. I know that if you get another chance you won ' t take the road that leads again to robbery and death. I just know it. Thanks, Tim, thanks a million, I must have been crazy to think of such a thing , sobbed Jerry. Forget it, Jerry, and about your father. Maybe somewhere he is regretting what he did so many years ago. Maybe he never found that rainbow he sought so diligently. Maybe he wishes he could come back to his wife and son. Maybe so, Tim, but I am not going to think of him again, I ' m going to try to make a better man of myself than my father was, and with yout help I know I can, for you have been just like a father to me.” As Jerry ' s footsteps faded through the empty building, Tim walked over to the telephone but before picking it up he said softly, tearfully, the words he had held back for so many years and which he could never say, Goodnight, Jerry, goodnight m y son m-, CNI CNI Elsie Colo ' 47 Page
