                                                GIRL PATROL

                                              Chapter Fifteen


         She was walking home when she saw it floating face down in the
river.  It looked like a beaver.  For a moment she thought it was.  Then
it seemed like it was a dead beaver, and that scared her.  She watched
it floating along, bobbing in the river, and then, as if knowing she
were there, and wanting to get to her, it veered, with the current,
closer to the shore.  It hit some sticks that were floating along.  They
went a little further downstream and she ran along after them, passing
the village where her parents lived, following the little bear
downriver.  Two other children, even younger than herself, for she was
six, saw her running along the river and came running after her.
         "What'cha doing?" a three-year-old asked her as she went
chasing the dead beaver down the river.
         "Just following something," she said.  There wasn't much to do
in the village and everyone owned very little.  Even a dead beaver might
be worth something, and she wanted to have first dibs on it if it proved
to be worth having.
         "Oh!  Look!  In the river!" the second child, a four-year-old,
announced.
         "I seed it first!" the six-year-old, whose named was Chloe,
told the other two children who now ran along with her.
         "I want it!" the three-year-old said.
         "I SAW IT FIRST!" Chloe yelled and, as if to enforce her right
to the dead creature, she splashed down into the river water and dashed
along a small sandy strand that abutted, and was partly washed over by,
the river.  Then she got bolder, and fearing the other children might
somehow get to the dead beaver first, she splashed out farther.  
         "Don't swim without telling your parents!" the four-year-old
called.  Chloe ignored him and paddled out into the river.  She reached
for the floating debris.  She managed to grab the fur of the dead
creature and gingerly lifted it.  She wasn't afraid of dead things.  She
helped her mom kill and clean creatures all the time, things that her
father shot.  But of course if the beaver was truly dead, which it
certainly must be since it wasn't moving or resisting her, they wouldn't
want to eat it.  It was bad to eat things that were dead of their own
accord, and not freshly killed.
         But it wasn't a dead beaver.  It was a dead bear.  Except it
was cute looking, with little button eyes and a nose that seemed made of
thread, and a thread-mouth to go along with the nose.  A small bow-tie
was affixed to the front of it, and tied about its neck with ribbon.
         "This sure is a funny-looking cub," Chloe said to herself. 
She'd seen bear cubs before, but never one wearing a bow tie!  "Hello,"
Chloe said to the bear.  It said nothing back, but it smiled at her,
with its little thread smile, and suddenly Chloe loved it.  She hugged
it, in fact, even though she was still a little afraid of it.  With such
a cute smile, such a creature could hardly harm her, even if it was
dead.
         Chloe swam ashore, clutching the bear.  It felt soft
throughout.  She could squeeze it and she felt no bones pressing against
her hands, just a cuddly friendly feeling.  
         "I like you!" Chloe told the bear, once she had it ashore.  The
four-year-old and the three-year-old clamored to hold it.  "It's mine!"
Chloe assured her friends, but you can hold it if you want to.  She gave
it to the three-year-old.  Watching with parental concern, she let the
three-year-old hug it, and then the four-year-old, both of them
commenting on how soft and friendly-feeling the little bear was. 
Finally Chloe took it back, and walked triumphantly back toward the
village with it.
         "Can I hold it some more?  I'll be your BEST friend!" the
three-year-old told Chloe.
         "Maybe in a little while," Chloe said.  The two other children
tagged along with her as if she had found the remains of a saint.  With
their treasure they passed two men who, despite the obvious thrill of
the discovery, ignored the children.
         The men were dressed, like the children, it what could only be
described as rags.  But they did not have the dejected demeanor of the
poor, in fact, they knew nothing else, or hardly so, being far from
Darkness City or anyplace where wealth was accumulated.  One man leaned
on a rusty old hoe, one of his most prized possessions, something which
he got good use out of every day.  Here in this village the utility of
things in agriculture determined their worth.  Admittedly the ground was
not good and the farming was just of the subsistence sort, but the idea
of having a "bumper harvest" or something left over to sell was a
concept unknown to these people.  For one thing, there was nobody around
for a thousand miles or more to sell anything too.  Nobody, that is, who
would have a use for food.  Blood was another matter.
         "I don't like that sun," the man with the hoe said to the other
man, who was leaning on a shovel.  The two men looked up, hiding their
eyes from the sun but trying to take in the exact color of its light. 
"It's gotten redder," the man with the hoe said.
         "What does your book say?" the man with the shovel asked.
         "It says if it gets red enough it bursts, like a dropped
tomato."
         "Like a dropped tomato," the man with the shovel mused, the
analogy helping him to understand what the man with the hoe was saying. 
"I suppose we won't have to grow any tomatoes next year then."
         "No, no, Frank!" the man with the hoe, who was named Ebenezer,
said.  "If it bursts we'll all be dead!"
         "It would be tough to fight off the vampires if it's night all
the time," Frank agreed.
         "It would burst all over us and destroy us.  Like a great
fire!" Ebenezer said.
         "You worry too much about your book-learning," Frank said to
Ebenezer.  "Exploding suns, great cities that grew next to this river in
the past, your mind is filled with too many things.  Irrelevant things,
as I've told you before!  It's why your crops don't grow as good as
mine.  I may not have a hoe, like you do, but I could make better use of
it if you gave it to me."
         "It's mine!" Chloe cried out, from somewhere in the distance,
as more children learned of her find.
         "Farming is something I have to do, but book-learning is what I
enjoy," Ebenezer told Frank.  He pointed skyward.  "And if that sun does
blow up, then you'll see that book learning is necessary too."
         "Bah!"  Frank spit on the ground.  "Good for starting fires,
that's all."  Ebenezer's eyes widened.  
         "Have you been using books to start fires again?!"  Ebenezer
asked, a note of panic in his voice.  Frank looked sideways.  He had
found a collection of musty old books recently, down in a sink hole that
he'd come across, half destroyed with mildew but still, in the hands of
Ebenezer, no doubt readable.  He had let the leaves dry in the sun and
they were proving great for starting his household fire at night.  He
wasn't about to let Ebenezer cart them off to foolishly save them and
read them.
         "Nah," Frank said.
         "Well don't be burning any," Ebenezer said.  "If you find any
give them to me."
         "And help you with your crops too, eh?" Frank said.  Ebenezer
turned.  
         "I guess I'd better go tend my field," he said, though in fact
he wanted to go look at his book again, and compare the color of the
light under the heading "Novas and Supernovas" with the color of the sun
in the sky.  It was redder, he was sure of it.  And even if Frank didn't
believe him, he was sure that the sun blowing up was a much worse
problem than vampires were.
