LOS ~NGCLCS<br >Hugh McPhail dropped his trousers, stuffed them into his knapsack<br >and started to run.<br > As his feet settled into a rhythm he saw ahead of him the train<br >clicking away into the distance, its smoke whorling black behind<br >it. The old Superchief had carried him halfway across America.<br >It had been the first time he had ever ridden boxcar, carrying a<br >ticket free of fear, and it had given him a sense of security. Just<br >before leaving the train he had tossed his ticket to the old man<br >who had sat unseeing in the corner for the whole thousand-mile<br >journey. "Save yourself a beating, old timer," he had said. Then<br >he had jumped.<br > Above him the road sign read: Los ANGELES SIX MILES. That<br >meant forty minutes. McPhail ran easily, on his heels, with low<br >frugal strides, his feet hardly leaving the ground. He wore a knap-<br >sack with thick padded straps to protect his shoulders, and a flat<br >plaid cap. His upper body was not that of a runner, for he was<br >heavily muscled, particularly in the shoulders and back, but months<br >of distance training had scoured his body of every scrap of fat.<br >As he ran, trickles of sweat started to roll like tears down his<br >browri cheeks and joined width others to form streams on his back<br >/3<br ><br >
