Jailbird’s Sunrise . . .
As it happens with many a good
man, Johnny Sermon took a wrong
turn in his youth. It was no more
than the misstep of a wild-blooded
youngster, but it was enough to
bring him a sentence of a year on
a chain-gang in a Southern state. He
took his medicine in the proper
spirit, with a resolution to serve it

ran against him. A brute of a guard
took an unreasoning dislike to him.
Johnny was driven to making a
break for freedom. He made it, but
he was a thousand miles northwest
of the scene of the break before he
found a means to chisel free of his
leg shackle.
When Johnny Sermon limped into
the woods of Oregon, he was scarred

Taylor said the state board of,

chairman, probably would be ad-

of releasing Olympic Peninsula]

Brundage said there is practi-l

with a large lumber company. It
was just what he wanted, although
i he was a gifted and skilled me-
chanic. He needed to work alone.
He had a lot of things to fight out
with himself.
And Bill Nalen, the grim and
silent logging superintendent, seem-
ed to suspect him. When Nalen came
through the down timber, he would
often stop and stare at Johnny Ser-
mon, queerly. But he never spoke.

that suspension of ordinary pro-

back on the chain gang instead of in
the Army, sure.
Then, the Draft. Fear gripped
Johnny S c r m o n. As Registration
Day drew close, he froze in panic.
A frantic dream possessed him. If
the fingers of his right hand should
happen to be slashed by his bucking
saw. . . .
Johnny did not hear the logging
superintendent come up through the
brush. He was too desperately in-
tent on nerving himself to buckle
the saw, now stuck in a pitch pocket,
and then to let it spring loose, with
rakers and teeth, at his strong young
hand. ‘
Another hand, the fingers clutch-
ing his arm like steel hooks, flung
Johnny back and around.
“That will be all of that," stated
Bill Nalen. “You haven’t fooled me,
lad. I guessed you, by your gait,
your limp, when I first saw you.”
He paused, with a twisted grin.
Bill Nalen had more to say, and ‘
he said it, as Johnny Sermon stared
wildly at him.
“I’ve watched you. I've seen you
pitch in a couple of times when :1

a top mechanic, Johnny Sermon.
I’ve heard of other such times. Any
day the past six months I‘d have

can as a greenhorn soldier. This war
needs a lot of timber and timber
mechanics. The Draft Board will
certify to that." Bill Nalen‘s grin
became a smile. “And marry the
girl, if she‘ll have you. Forget the
past, for your future. Others have,
and it worked out.”
“Okay,” said Johnny Sermon, “But
why—”
But Nalen had already turned and
was on his way. He stopped at a
small log, unlooscd his boot and
shook out a bit of gravel, His sock
slid down. And Johnny Sermon saw,
as Nalen had intended him to see,
the badge of their brotherhood, a
symbol of hope for himself in the
big woods. Leg scar. . . .

The woods are full of logging
