Far Fields
By LEETE STONE
A. br McClure Newspaper Syndicate.
WNU Service
TpHEY -were companions, and they
* spoke to each other; each In his
fashion; from their separate capes.
One was a trusty In a penitentiary
and the other was a golden canary.
The lilting song of the bird and the
crisp whistle of the man exchanged
dally greetings across the straggling
space that separated them.
This was one of the first days of
spring to capture glorious geniality
from the gently warm sun and faintly
stirring air—nature’s farewell to a
dragging, bitter winter.
Number 001 pressed his cheekbones
against the bars of his open window.
Even the metal felt less cold and un
yielding than usual. Zephyrs stirred
his sandy hair which had become
much thinner during the ten years of
Incarceration. Tills morning out of
the ruts of resignation which had
claimed his spirit from the first rose
a consuming desire for the far fields
of freedom and the nomad life that
had once been his.
Eyes bent on his little chum whose
cage hung In another open window
over the way this wondrous April day.
Number 901 Indulged his whimsicality
of guarded conversation: "flan we
stick another winter here, little one?"
he whispered.
Notes or song trilled over to mm hs
If In direct answer.
“Meaning ‘Cheerio’ and ‘Carry on’
and all the rest of the uplift stu(T,,‘
Number 991 muttered with a wry
mouth. Nevertheless his shoulders
straightened and he responded with a
Clear whistle.
About to turn away from the win
dow, his gaze—which had been rivet
ed on the cage—was caught hy the
sight of a child scrambling onto a
chair which stood beneath It. The
child was small, and had trouble mak
ing the grade; but finally stood on the
chair and commenced fussing with the
tiny door of the bird's prison. At once
a woman appeared on the scene, re
moved the child with apparent scold
ings, and pushed the chair away.
The significance of this ordinary In
cident flooded the man's mind with the
conviction that some day the child
would succeed with Its mischief and
his little companion would escape to
those far fields of freedom that nagged
their hearts perpetually.
Thus the Idea of escape was born In
Number 091 on this day of lovely
promise which had suddenly new
meaning for him. Amazed, and some
what bewildered, he for the first time
realized how many opportunities he
hnd missed; wrapped as he had been
during the years In the dull Inertia of
confinement and prison shop labor.
The check-up of tools was often lax.
It would be simple to confiscate and
conceal flies and oil. Nights were long
In which to softly sever his bars.
He felt that Sscnpe for the little pal
was destined. Why not for him, too?
The chance to secure tools came
soon and Number 991 became a differ
ent man. He stepped out of the prison
rut of resignation Into the province of
love of life. A thousand sleepless
nights had taught him where the night
guard of his cell-block would he at
any given moment No detail of se
crecy eluded him. Night by night the
four little rifts In two of his bars grew
Imperceptibly deeper.
Intimacy, also, progressed between
the bird and the man. Never a morn
ing that they did not exchange buoy
ancies :
"How you coming, friend?” Carolled
over.
“Fine! How 'bout you, little one?"
Whistled back.
And often the mischievous child
stretched Its arms high for the cage,
reinforcing Number 991's premonition
that freedom for them both was a cer
tainty.
The morning caxne when all but the
last few strokes of the file had been
taken. A few more deft moments'
work would spell separation of the
steel, and—escape! Watching the bird
across the way. the man’s body stiff
ened suddenly and his cheekbones
pressed the bars so closely that he
feared they might giro way.
The child was dragging a chair un
der the canary's caee again. Today I

The child climbed on the chair; fussed
.ivlth the cage door, and opened It.
The golden bird winged swift flight
through the open window, and down
ward. beyond the man’s Impetuous
gaze that strove to follow'.
Number 901’3 Joy mounted to the
peak of elation. The little pal was
free to travel the far fields—travel
with him—to Indulge fantasy.
Number 901 remained long at the
window planning his own escape for
that very night. He dreamed sis he
sniffed the blossom-scented air hun
grily. Then he noticed the little boy:
shoulders drooped In penitence: go
out of the house opposite and disap
pear around the corner.
Hut why did the child return run
ning followed closely by a sleek black
cat, and carrying something In small,
cupped hands as he screamed for his
mother. Number 001’s eyes strained
to see! They caught a glimpse of a
lifeless little blob of yellow from
which the fenthers drooped awry.
Number 991 turned away from his
nearly severed bars, despair In the
deep lines of his sagging face. With
a watchful look everywhere first, he
flung the tiny files through his bars
and they disappeared in the tall grass
