I What Has Qons Bskukl: George MUton and Lennie Small, old friend#, are bucking barley on a ranch in the Salinas Valley. George looks after Lennie. who is big and strong as a Dull but has the mentality of a child. Together they dream of saving enough money to buy a little house and farm of their own; but their plane are constantly up set when Lennie gets them into trouble through his simple - mi ruledness ana his strange but innocent compulsion to "pet nice thing*" ? such as a mouse, a bird, or a woman'* velvet dress or so/t hair ? with his huge, clumsy hands. On the ranch they take old Candy, the crippled "swamper", into partnership in their dream house. But Oeorqe worries constantly about Mae, the boas' pretty daughter-in-law who is "always hangin' round men", and about Curley, her pugnacious and Jealous husband. While Qeorge is watching a horseshoe pitching contest, Mae finds Lennle in the barn and invites him to stroke her hair. He strokes so hard that she screams; and Lennle, in panic, clamps his hand over her mouth and clasps Ker head Hght in his hands. She slumps to the floor, limp. Chapter Six Lennle was on his knees, staring at the inert form. He lifted one of her arms, and let it drop. "I dpne a bad thing," he whispered. "I done another had thing. George'U be mad.

Looking stealthily about him, he buttonea up bis blue denim coat and stole out through the barn loor. e e It was George and Candy who discovered Maes cold form when they went to the barn to look for Lennie after the horseshoe game. George quickly dropped op his knee, put his hand over her heart for a moment, then stood and iooked dully down at the body. "What done It?" whispered Candy. "Ain't you got any idea?" grated George. "I should of knew. 1 guess mavbe way back in my head I did!" "What we gonna do now, George? What we gonna do?" "Guess we gotta tell the guys.. I guess we gotta get him an' lock him up. We can't let 'im get away ? the poor dummy'd starve... Maybe they'll lock 'im up an' be nice to 'Im." "You an' me can get that little place, can't we, George? You an' me can go there an' live nice, can't we, George? Can't we?" * George did not even answer. "I think I knowed from the very first," he said softly. "I think I knowed we'd never do 'er.

George employed the Interval to open Carlson's suitcase, take the Lsiger that had shot Cindy's dog; and slip It under his When Curley viewed Mae's body In the barn, he worked himself Into the fury which he considered appropriate to a bereaved huehand.

"He's got Carlson's gun on him ?- it was there this morning an' it's gone now. Sure I'm gonna shoot him! I'm gonna get him myself!" Slim took George aside as the posse started out, armed with the ranch supply of rifles and shotguns. "I guess we.gotta get him,*' said Slim. "Couldn't we maybe bring him in an' they'll lock him upT He never done this to be mean," "You heard Curlev. He's still mad about his hand. An' s*pose they lock him up? An' strap him down an' put him in a cage? That ain't no good, George. I think there's only one way to get Lennle out of It." "Yeah," muttered George. He drew aside his coat to show Carlson's gun. "I know, Slim." .see George and Slim took the short cut George knew, through the woods to the river bank, vaguely in the distance they could near the crunching of heavy boots on leaves! and twigs, and the long, low whistles from one. section of the posse to the other.
