again he paused. Taxing cigar from
his vest pocket he bit It in two thought
fully and ate an end OF IT while he slow
ly fumbled through his clothes for n
match. Finding none. he went inside
and supplied himself from box on the
bar. Returning to his chair he lighted
up and smoked for a period.

But he continued, rather more
