SYNOPSIS Born of humble parents. Mom and Pop, in a tiny Middle West factory town. Tommy Randolph, "always different from other children". becomes a high school football sensation both to the delight and disdain of his hard-working family. Big universities are bidding for him with the chances favoring Thorndyke, a “millionaires' college" in the East. Tommy is graduated and prepares to go East to the famed Thorndyke. Millionaire Charlie Whitney, big glassworks owner and employer of Pop, leads the whole community (jealous neighbors excepted) in showering honors and presents on the greatest gridiron prospect ever produced in those parts. Whitney's daughter, Dorothy, is Tommy’s girl friend.... CHAPTER ELEVEN Half of the town was at the station to see Tommy off. Dorothy was there and Mom was kind of hoping they would kiss good-bye but they just shook hands and Dorothy told him to be sure and write. Mom started to cry when Tommy kissed her goodbye in front of everybody. Pop just shook hands and Pete told Tommy not to take any wooden nickels. The train took him away with Tommy standing on the back platform waving at them; and he looked big and strong and confident and Mom knew he was going out into the world and that he wouldn’t be her little Tommy any more; she was sad but she was glad too. Her boy was going to get his chance; and just looking at him everybody could tell he wasn’t afraid of anything or anybody. When the train went around the bend she wiped her eyes and got hold of herself and started down to Butcher Brown’s to get the meat for supper. Pop went straight home to take his new shoes off and rest up before going out to work that night. Pete was working day turn and had come to the train in his working clothes and went right back to the factory as they had let him off to come to the train. Mom guessed that Pete would never get a chance; that he would live and die in Athens like the rest of the family; but he didn’t seem to mind. Pete was a good boy and had a lot of good sense. The days were long without him at first. Tommy had always been under Mom’s feet around the house and when he grew up he had always made a noise coming in and going out and Mom was always having to pick up after him; things i were much easier on her now but Mom didn’t like that so well. The first of her young ones had gone away from her and that made her feel old. It was so quiet around the place, except when Pop and Uncle Louie got going, which was oftener now, because Uncle Louie, who was Mom’s uncle on her mother’s side, had come to stay with them, sleeping in Tom’s room in the attic. Uncle Louie had always lived at a hotel but money must have been getting scarce and he really hadn’t worked for a long time. Mom felt kind of sorry for him because his long-tailed coat was getting shiny and all of his white ties and shirts were getting frayed. Mom tried to keep them cleaned and starched and tidied up as best 'she could and she didn't mind the work as she felt sorry for Uncle Louie. Pop wanted to get him a job at the factory but Uncle Louie was insulted and said he’d probably bo postmaster after the next election because Coolidge wasn’t going to bo lucky ail his life; and it would be undignified, Uncle Louie said,

for the postmaster to have to leave the factory. Pop was of two minds about that—the factory was good enough for anybody, he said, but he could sec something to what Uncle Louie said. So he just locked up his extra supply of chewing tobacco in the trunk where Uncle Louie couldn't help himself; and let it go at that. Pete and Pop worked different turns so they seldom ate together except on Saturdays and Sundays. Tommy had been a great eater, as all growing boys were, and he had always sat down with whoever was eating. It was quiet without him; but when Uncle Louie came it got more noisy, particularly when Pop decided to be for Al—and the only reason he was, Mom knew, was because Uncle Louie was for McAdoo. Uncle Louie took the room, understanding that he would go back to the hotel when Tommy came home. Mom didn’t hear much from Tommy but she supposed he was busy getting acquainted. He was playing the freshman football and he explained that everybody ’had to do this the first year and that he would not be playing on the big team until his secund year. Mom was glad when he wrote this because Mrs. Farrell had been hinting around that she hadn’t been reading anything in the papers about Tommy; and then Mom had to explain about the freshman football and that shut her mouth at least although it was plain she wasn't convinced. • A horrible thought came to Mom in the middle of that night while she was studying things and couldn’t sleep very well. It just popped up from nowhere but then she saw it was because of thp way Mrs. Farrell had talked and looked. H hat if Tommy wasn’t getting along at snooty Thorndyke? What if they were stuck up and maybe better players than he? After all he was only one young boy out there all by himself and he had come from plain but honest people and maybe it was too much to expect him to sail right through the world like he had sailed through Athens. The thought worked on
