down to kitchen table and ate such
a meal as Pacton had not eaten since
boyhood. That was Friday night.
Pacton reached town late at night
and got little sleep; he hated the
store with great violence all Saturday
and at closing time he went to the
manager and fired himself.

Gu the June day before his twenty.

to himself straight from the shoulder.
At his age a man who can't more than

Something was wrong and he knew It.

Finding himself unnoticed Pacton
turned where he could better watch
