Without knowing exactly what to do about it, he had long since grown tired= of fetching and carrying for exacting Elmer Dunning, president of Webbville's First National bank. And what had happened lately left his spirits flatter than any ledger line. John Morrie, the cashier, resigned to take a Job in an eastern City and the cashier job in old First National became the plum ready to drop into the lap of some lucky man, Joe was neart in line tor promotion, but he was worried. He wanted to ask Dunning about the board's plans and didn't have the courage. The small blue eyes in his bony face filled with fear at the thought of such audacity. Somehow he couldn't stretch the narrow shoulders on his short thin frame to the necessary width of confidence. JN SHORT order Joe's hopes were * dashed to oblivion. Why did some fellows have all the luck? That young upstart, Harry Coats, who'd been brought on from New York, made cashier over the heads of the four men having seniority in the bank's marble elegance! Resentment blazed high until the three younger men got to liking Coats well enough to forgive him. Bmt Jot Sand, thoroughly incensed, couldn't forgive. He bated Costs, he hated Dunning, he hated -- everybody. His thoughts were cruel hot dagg&rt slashing every moral fiber within him. He was determined--to kill! Dunning needn't think that Joe Sands, the slave, hadn't a chickadee's guts. Just because he didn't parade a push and drive was no proof that he hadn't secret ambitions to rise in banking circles. Joe glanced quickly around his modest room in Mrs. Miller's select boarding house. Shakily, he took a gun out of the bottom drawer of the tired-looking pine bureau, thrust it into his pocket. The weapon had belonged to his father and was rusty with neglect. It had been used for target practice in the Sand family's small back yard, but never to spill human blood. It hadn't been shot off in years. Joe hoped it wouldn't fail him -- everybody and everything else had. At the bank that noon Joe had te be reminded that it was time to go for his daily chocolate malt. Naturally taciturn, he was even more so now and his co-workers flung him questioning glances and whispered among themselves about what was "eating old Sandie." But through it all he was grimly determined. He was doing his last duty for the stalwart old bank which had supported him for 20 years.

Then he got quickly to his feet and announced dramatically. "The skunk's dead--quite aead!" Something Hke knighthood valot went sailing through Joe. Why, this was odd! Never had he felt somasterful. Why, he couldn't feel inferior to anybody or anything after this! Nor afraid. Not even afraid Of --himself.
