Grishka is sent to jail and is then summoned by the Juvenile Crime Commission. He is examined and questioned by the doctor, which isn’t at all to his liking, and is sent to the home for juvenile criminals. At night he tosses about unhappily on his bed, unable to accustom himself to the new conditions. too. They make him sing it every day. He would gladly sing it him- self at times. But sometimes he | just doesn’t want to sing. And yet, it was because of the “International” |that he smashed Shorty George’s face for him. Georgie is one of the bourzhuis.

He had stood up | for the Soviet power, and for that the elder Aunt Zina and Konstan- tin Stepanych were calling him a hooligan. And when the Institution linen disappeared, they ‘questioned the three of them; the three who were thieves. Grishka wondered: “Dumb-bells! Catch me _ swipin’ anythin’ here! They feed me well, so far. And who are thieves, who? You’d steal yourself if you had nothin’ to eat. When I run away, then I'll steal.” The idea was taking firmer hold of him, to run away.

Life would not have been so bad if it hadn’t been for the boredom. In the morn- ing, after breakfast, they were marched to a big hall where some- thing was read to them. But always something boring. One boy was good and another was bad. ... He 5 felt like giving him a kick, the good ti one! And then the lady-teachers would arrive. “Come, children, let us sing and play. Form a ring.” And they would form a ring. In the hall they were together with ‘the girls. The girls fidget and keep singing the same song—about a lit- tle pine-tree, a little hare, about » some cake. Or, they would spread their arms like this, and bend their heads now to one side, now to the other: “Where the willows are bending over the pool... .” | At first it was amusing, but after ‘a time he grew tired of it.

And from that time on the supervisors were against him. Well, let them be. That red-headed one, Konstantin Stepanych, cares only for playing the guitar and tak- ing snapshots. body’s picture, the pimple-face! He’s a mean cuss. He doesn’t dare use his hands, so he stings with his eyes, like a snake. He looks at everyone as if sniffing: what kind of man are you? He himself smokes into the vent in his room, but to the boys he says: “A decent man is not supposed to smoke.” ie ee ND WHAT’S smoking, anyway? —its all bunk. Here he hadn’t smoked for a good long time. He gave it up, and didn’t feel that he wanted to smoke. But when Kon- stantin Stepanych starts his spiel about smoking, and begins to sniff | and to ask: “Who’s been smoking? —then a desire comes over him to light a cigarette.

You must button all your buttons and you must comb your hair. You are quite a big boy, remember! ... Do you want me to read a book to you?

But as soon as she turns her back he starts making indecent gestures at her. * . y fase GIRLS here are all good for nothing. They’ve learned from Aunt Zina to talk in squeaky voices, and they cringe and fawn until it turns your stomach. And mean- while they carry on secretly with the boys. Manka from the mines is not so bad. She sings sad songs and likes to read books. She looks as if she were made of wax, and she coughs all the time, Sick. But Grishka does not venture to talk to her. He is afraid. He has seen enough of girls, and he does not like them. Grishka does not like any- body. And everything has become loathsome to him; the bedrooms with blankets all exactly alike, the dining room with the new wooden tables. He must. escape! The Children’s Home was in the build- ing of a monastery. Behind high walls. And a sentinel stood at the gate. Grishka reasoned: “That's right. We're lawbreakers. That’s how they write about us: juvenile lawbreakers. It sounds swell! In plain talk you would say thieves, convicts, but in a learned way—lawbreakers.” He liked this name as much as he jdid the “International.” Grishka was proud of it and he was proud |of the sentinel at the gate.

The names of the Save-The- Union Committee; National Miners Relief Committee and other organiz- ations were forged alternately. The press releases of the N. M.
