I was a long time lying and thinking before I thought of sleeping. All the small, teeny bits of a man's life, as well as the big, seemed to come up before me as I lay there the first things I could recollect at Rocky Flat; then the pony; mother a youngish woman; father always hard-looking, but so different from what he came to be afterwards.

"Oh you paid for them all, did you?" quizzed the Youngish Girl before she had time to think. "No, indeed!" lied the Traveling Salesman loyally. "But $650 a year? What can a family man do with that?

I didn't mean to be rude. "'Rude? I ses, staring at her. "'Of course it was a rude thing for me to say, she ses, smiling; 'because you are still a young man yourself. "I shook my 'ead.
