meath his very nose, and by the lack
of a pitifully small amount of money.
AS he was about to retrace his way
outside, the agent called, Listen,
mister. If you can get cleaned up
and get back here before we can get
some one else, I'll send you. But not
otherwise. Heaven knows, consulting
engineers don't grow on bushes"
Boyd's eyes now lack luster evinced
no hope at this gesture intended to
soften the blow. Where in the world
would he be able to get enough money
to make himself presentable in that
short time, when for days he hadn't
been able to find enough to stay his
hunger.
No, he would have to carry out his
job. Death would just be bit more
bitter, if 1t could be, at this last jibe
of fate. Dejectedly, his footsteps took
the familiar route to the park, route
they would never again be forced
to follow.
Boyd sank wearily into the lank
embrace of park bench and gripped
the iron hand rests. Facing west, he
could see the shadows lengthening on
the grass. He determined that when
the shadow of tall poplar finally
touched the border of the sidewalk
he would arise, walk to the boulevard
and deliberately step in front Of one
of the heavy busses. That would make
it accidental death, which his insur-
ance policy required.
Inch by inch the shadow came
nearer the walk. It was within a
hands breadth when Boyd could
stand it no longer. Eising to stride to
the boulevard, he suddenly paused at
a reflected CLINT on the ground. The
peaked tip of the poplar's shadow out
lined by Boyds ill-omened sun, was
pointing like a finger to something on
the ground beside the walk-a bril-
liant, cleaning object. Curiously he
stopped and picked it up.
Unbelieving, a strange expression
crossed his face as he looked at 1t. He
ran back to the main street, stormed
into a barber shop, sat down, and
shouted: quick! A shave, shoe
shine, send for the tailor to press this
suit And hurry before 1t gets dark"
The barber gaped in amazement as
Boyd continued gleefully.
THE sun has brought me luck. See?"
Holding out his hand, he displayed
a shiny silver dollar.
