Jackson advocate., 1942-08-22
(Installment 35)

When he stretched out ON his bed
in the dark, he found that his
whole body was trembling. He was
cold and hungry. While lying there
shaking, a hot bath of fear, hotter
than his blood, engulfed him,
bringing him to his feet. He stood
in the middle of the floor, seeing
vivid images of his gloves, his
pencil and paper. How on earth
had he forgotten them? He had
to burn them. He would do il right
now He pulled on the light and
went to his overcoat and got the
gloves and pencil and paper and
stuffed them into his shirt. He
went to the door, listened NOM
ent, then went into the hall and
down the stairs to the furnace. He
stood q moment before the gleam-
ing cracks. Hurriedly, he opened
the door and dumped the gloves
and pencil and paper IN; he
watched them smoke blaze; he
closed the door and heard them
burn in a furious whirlwind OF
draft.
A strange sensation enveloped
him. Something tingled in his
stomach and on his scalp. His
knees wobbled giving way. He
stumbled to the wall and leaned
against it weakly. A wave Of numb
lness spread fanwise from his
stomach over his entire body, in
Guiding his head and eyes, making
his mouth gap. Strength ebbed
from him. He sank to his knees
and pressed his fingers to the floo,
to keep from tumbling over. An
organic sense of dread seized him
His teeth chartered and he felt
sweat sliding down his arnpits
and back. He groaned, holding as
still as possible His vision blurred;
but gradually it cleared. Again he
saw the furnace. Then he realiz-
ed that he had been on the verge
of collapse. Soon the glare and
drome of the fire came to his eyes
and ears. He closed his mouth and
gritted his teeth; the peculiar
paralyzing nu1nbness was leaving.
When he was strong enough to
stand without support, he rose to
his feet and wiped his forehead
On his sleeve. He had strained
himself from too long lack Of
sleep and food: and the excite
ment was sapping his energy. He
should go to the kitchen and ask
for his dinner. Surely, he should
not starve like this. He mounted
the steps to the door and knocked
timidly; there was no answer. He
turned the knob and pushed the
door in and saw the kitchen
