He was fairly blown into the outer

of the seasoned, roud-cOached type
were leaning their chairs against the

was drawing clouds Of comfort from a

at work in one end Of the room, her
instrument rapidly clicking. In an op-
posite corner was a telephone ex-

around her forehead was punching
connections between the valley towns.
Richard lost the feeling Of having
gone into a remote and isolated re-

map.
One Of the older men returned his
nod. The young men returned their
hastily withdrawn attention to their
game Of checkers. The other smoker
was watching with cross-eyed absorb

Richard looked with approval at the

the muscles of the mouth too sensitive
