just turned out the light and was
cropping his way toward the door amid
the gloom of the evening shadows.
The street lights showing through the
windows among the goods on the
floor.
The lone clerk was exceptionally
tired. The day had been unusually
busy for him. Slowly he walked to-
ward the front door. Then. as he
passed another door leading to the
! basement he stopped with a shock.
| The door had opaque glass panels in
it and through that glass he saw the
outline of mans figure suspended
from the neck. Then he remembered
he had heard fellow worker say that
morning he was tired of life.
AT first the clerk couldn't get up
the courage to open the glass paneled
door but finally did so. With a shud-
against his as the suspended figure
dangled in the air. Then he gave vent
to sigh of relief. The supposed sui
eide was clothes-dummy.
