of fear that had gone through him

Jim was glad Fred Weston came
back then, because he wanted to say
something to Molly that he couldn't
say without being fool. He knew it
was crazy to even let himself feel the
way he did. Things were bad enough
without reaching for something that
wasn't there. He knew just exactly
how bad they were when Weston
said: THAT was the mine boss calling,
Jim He wants to use you on the morn

YOU out of bed in time to have bit

The words pulled the bottom out of
inns belly. "Ill try to be up in

voice sounded queer. He thanked
them mechanically for dinner and got
out of the house.
When he was in his room with the
door closed behind him, he stood in
fury of self-contempt. Because every
