'The fall had spun its thread half- way. The birches shed their leaves. The forest grew stern and gloomy. The sky frowned, weeping bitterly with continuous rain. The lake was no longer blue. It had turned black, and it beat, roaring, against the shore. The birds flew away. A wolf was seen in the field. At the bun- galows the stoves were fired. The ‘boys put on long trousers, the girls skirts. The health resort became deserted. An angry wind blew from the hills, whistling through the empty bungalows. It tugged ire- fully at the roofs of the colony. It tried to tear them off. And it was not merely rain and \|ries, mushrooms, potatoes. NEAR the colony there was a vil- lage. It was in a bad way. The people had not had enough bread even in summer. They fed on ber- But the potato crop failed, They began add- ing bark to the bread. Hungry children would come in gangs to the colony. Like sparrows after crumbs. There was a Children’s Home in the village. The children were starving there. Even in sum- mer they were worse off than those at the colony, and now death stared them in the face. Boys from the Children’s Home were caught in the yard of the health resort manager. They had stolen some meat. Martynov told the colonists about this. Grishka trembled. His eyes grew dark, and he began to beg: “Take them in, in our colony!” coming a mighty hero. The whole colony seemed to him small and fragile. And forsaken by all. They are alone in the mountains. And somebody behind the wall is weep- ing, menacing and howling funeral dirges, Why are they all in so eery a mood tonight? Taichinov said wistfully: “Death walkin’ round.” The vestibule-door banged. They were startled. Woicechovsky cried out in fright. But the sound of heavy steps calmed them. Grishka exclaimed joyfully: “Sergei Mikhalych?” “Tt's me!” And Martynov entered the-dormi- tory. Grishka slept near the door. Martynov sat down heavily on his bed. “Well, you are not asleep yet? Still chatting? Khny!”_ They cried, but they said the same thing. We -uust think it over. Khny! You know yourselves—the work is hard, and there is very little food. We won't die, but we'll be worn out.” Nadtochi spoke up in a reassuring bass: “Won't we be able to ‘hold out till the new crop? Sure we will. We’ve got our own bread,” Grishka clung to hand. “Sergei Mikhalych, I promise to eat every other day. May thunder strike me if I eat every day!” And _ suddenly all the childish tones faded out of his voice. As had become fully grown all at once, he dragged out the words in deep agony: Martynov looked him straight in Martynov’s if he| hardly buy us food, pay the rent and fuel. “Well, dear comrades, I want to tell you what happened at the time I was slaving in the textile mills.
