Ma says Prayer
Calvin Gray did not return to the
bank. He went straight to his hotel
and as soon as he could sufficiently
control himself to do so. he tele-
phoned Gus Briskew. telling him that
he intended TO leave town. Then he
began mechanically to pack his bag.
He moved like man In trance, for
the blow had fallen SO suddenly as to
numb him; his only impulse was to
escape, to hide himself from these
people who, of a sudden, had become
hateful.
When night came he took his bag
and skunk out of the hotel, for II
seemed that men must surely know
what fool he had made of himself.
1t would have been relief to feel
that he was leaving never to return:
but even that was denied him, for.
after his first panic, the truth had
come home. He could not run away.
He thought of Ma Briskow. finally.
She was human; she had a heart.

gifts for her adornment-giving It
was his unconscious habit.
