. r ; | l \ ON THE HOUSE. One of the troubles with always bein’ warm an’ well-fed is that it blunts your feelin’s. Around seven o'clock last night a scrawny-lookin’ kid about eight or nine came in an’ sidled over toward the vacant end of the counter. He had on a sweater that looked like a regi- ment of motorized moths had passed through it. *Evenin’, bud,” 1 said to him when | gave him a glass of water. 1 noticed how bad he needed a haircut. “I'm just waitin’,"” he said, be- fore 1 could ask him for his order. “Sure,” 1 say. An’ then I go on back to the other end to talk to Bushy Barnes. Kids come in quite B NI This kid an’ me made a business denl often while they’re waitin’ for a pal. So I don’t pay much attention. Bushy, as usual, has got his head buried in a newspaper an’ don’t even look up. I got plenty to do cuttin’ up some French-fries an’ cleanin’ the grill, so it’s 20 minutes before I notice the kid again. He has moved where the crullers are under a glass frame on the back of the counter an’ is just sittin’ there inhalin’. { I go back to him an’ say, “Would you like a cruller, bud?”’ He looks up a little startled an’ says, ‘“No, thanks‘. I just like to smell ‘em.” Bushy hears this an’ after I leave he goes down an’ has a talk with the kid. o Seems his ol’ man is workin’ on a shift that doesn’t get him off until 10 o’clock. They live alone in a little room over by the railroad an’ the kid ain’t got no place to go from after school until his ol' man gets home. This was payday an’ the ol’ man was comin’ home with some food. But there hadn’t been anything for break- fast except a cup of coffee, an’ no lunch or dinner. An’ the kid was near- ly starved. He told Bushy his ol’ man would sock him if he caught him bum- min’ food. “But Mister Wally won’t mind, I guess, if I just sit here an’ smell it for a little while,” the kid says to Bushy. Bushy came back up to tell me and we started to dish out some srub for him. An’ then we had a better idea. I went out an’ got the broom an’ dustpan and let him sweep up the trash around the stools while 1 was gettin’ some milk an’ a lamb chop an’ some spinach an’ potatoes all heaped up on a plate. By the time he was through, his food was ready an’ we told him he’d earned it. An’ then everybody was happy. Maybe I kind of dented the child- labor law, but I reckon I saved the self-respect of a young fellow too proud to beg an’ too good a soldier to squawk. An’ just to show you that this wasn’t no charity proposition, the kid brought his ol' man in tonight for supper. The ol' man liked my cook- ing, so I got me a couple of good cus- tomers!
