He drew erect. his body tense in the

buried in The covers of tho cot. When

to the door behind her and stood for
a long time looking out across the
glaring craal. The rays OF the sun
descended on that beaten space with

the fowls crowded close in tho shad-

into the bowl OF blue. His tired eyes
searched it from horizon to zenith and
back to the hot level OF the earth. It
was empty. It's hollow infnIty pressed

he had forgotten that in the tropics
