THE DAILY SHORT STORY
Interesting Town
NO, Gary Haycock was not crazy. over a vat of maple syrup in the pro- cess of being boiled, upsetting the con- tents. Two enraged syrupers bellowed at him and were close on his heels when the town constable and his vo- lunteer posse burst into the clearing.
He was merely-shall we say nuts! He had queer ideas about doing things to amuse himself. For exam ple, one day this summer he was stop ping at an inn in a very small town in New England for no better reason than that he liked inns. in small towns. Usually, if you were curious enough and bold enough you could find inter- esting things.
..
Gary found one in an old book. The book was a history of the small town, and on page 12 he found where, back in the late 70's, a law has been incor- porated into the town code whereby it was unlawful to kiss your wife or any other woman on Sunday. Gary was a bug on these archaic laws. He decid- ed to put this one to the test. He knew just the girl he would kiss. She was a red-head with blue eyes and a lovely mouth: She apparently, was also stay- ing at the inn, but she must have come there for the quiet atmosphere, for all Gary's attempts to strike up an ac- quaintance hadn't been successful.

Gary puffed up a hill, nearly exhaust- ed, and sat down to rest. For the time being he seemed to have thrown off the bloodhounds. Then he heard them again, heard a shrill voice shout lusti ly that the quarry had been sighted. A pebble from a slingshot zinged by his head. Gary got up and ran.
Descending the hill he found a log- ging road winding along its base.. He turned right and moved at a dog trot. He hoped the pursuers would turn left. Things were getting a little too hot. He grinned to himself. You sure found interesting things in small New England towns if you were curious enough.
Far, far behind he heard the shouts of the posse. He increased his pace. Presently the logging road gave way to a graveled country lane. He turned right again, slowing to a walk. Sounds of an automobile came from up ahead
