So he says “Well Keefe don’t tell me your aunt died.” So I asked him what he meant because I haven’t no aunt only by marriage that lives down in Texas. So he says “Do you know what we could do to you for being AWOL ” So I said “I suppose you could bust me.” So he says “Yes and that isn’t all. If you was drunk or some excuse like that we could have you out in front of a fireing party or if we wanted to go easy with you we could send you down to Ft. Leavenworth for 10 yrs. ” So I said “I wasn’t drunk sir and all the trouble was that I missed a train out of Chi and I didn’t miss it more than 2 minutes.” So he says “Well 2 minutes and 2 wks. don’t make no difference in this game. But you have been behaving yourself OK and we got a fine record in this Co. and I don’t want to loose no non commission officers because I haven’t got none now thats worth a dam. So you see that you don’t miss no more trains because the next time it will go a whole lot different. You are excused only that you won’t get no more leave for a month.”
