Suddenly  like a gopher  he ducked down a burrow. He groped a moment  elbow-deep in the hay  and drew forth a leather-hinged box of light pine. It was closed with a clasp and a padlock whose key hung from a string round his neck. Inside were a .22 caliber revolver  two boxes of cartridges  a jackknife  a sort of brown canvas knapsack  and three dollars and eighty-eight cents. He picked up the revolver  raised the hammer and lowered it  took out the chamber  filled it with cartridges and then removed them; with an oily rag he polished it. He opened the knapsack slowly  lovingly—and then a voice broke in on his preoccupation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Jim! O Jim!”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis father was calling from the orchard. Jim hesitated. If he stayed where he was  his father might think he was out of hearing  in the wood lot or perhaps in the far pasture. But the voice was coming nearer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Jim! O Jim!”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuddenly it was within the barn itself  and cramming everything into the box again  Jim shouted  in a tone not too pleasant  “All right! I’m comin ’” and bolted down the ladder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat he wanted was freedom  freedom from all the orders and restraints  and he meant to have it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Throughout my adult lifetime  I’ve been searching for stories having to do with pivotal moments or experiences in a person’s life. What a joy to gather some of the most inspirational  powerful ones into one collection. The beauty of such stories is that we can learn from the mistakes of others rather than making them ourselves.”\u003c\/em\u003e  JOE L.
