Martin
shook
his
head
,
but
he
had
failed
to
keep
back
the
wolfish
,
hungry
look
that
leapt
into
his
eyes
at
the
suggestion
of
dinner
.
"
You
haven
’
t
a
penny
,
Mart
,
and
that
’
s
why
you
’
re
walkin
’
.
Exercise
!
"
She
tried
to
sniff
contemptuously
,
but
succeeded
in
producing
only
a
sniffle
.
"
Here
,
lemme
see
.
"
And
,
fumbling
in
her
satchel
,
she
pressed
a
five
-
dollar
piece
into
his
hand
.
"
I
guess
I
forgot
your
last
birthday
,
Mart
,
"
she
mumbled
lamely
.
Martin
’
s
hand
instinctively
closed
on
the
piece
of
gold
.
In
the
same
instant
he
knew
he
ought
not
to
accept
,
and
found
himself
struggling
in
the
throes
of
indecision
.
That
bit
of
gold
meant
food
,
life
,
and
light
in
his
body
and
brain
,
power
to
go
on
writing
,
and
—
who
was
to
say
?
—
maybe
to
write
something
that
would
bring
in
many
pieces
of
gold
.
Clear
on
his
vision
burned
the
manuscripts
of
two
essays
he
had
just
completed
.
He
saw
them
under
the
table
on
top
of
the
heap
of
returned
manuscripts
for
which
he
had
no
stamps
,
and
he
saw
their
titles
,
just
as
he
had
typed
them
—
"
The
High
Priests
of
Mystery
,
"
and
"
The
Cradle
of
Beauty
.
"
He
had
never
submitted
them
anywhere
.
They
were
as
good
as
anything
he
had
done
in
that
line
.
If
only
he
had
stamps
for
them
!
Then
the
certitude
of
his
ultimate
success
rose
up
in
him
,
an
able
ally
of
hunger
,
and
with
a
quick
movement
he
slipped
the
coin
into
his
pocket
.
"
I
’
ll
pay
you
back
,
Gertrude
,
a
hundred
times
over
,
"
he
gulped
out
,
his
throat
painfully
contracted
and
in
his
eyes
a
swift
hint
of
moisture
.
"
Mark
my
words
!
"
he
cried
with
abrupt
positiveness
.
"
Before
the
year
is
out
I
’
ll
put
an
even
hundred
of
those
little
yellow
-
boys
into
your
hand
.
I
don
’
t
ask
you
to
believe
me
.
All
you
have
to
do
is
wait
and
see
.
"
Nor
did
she
believe
.
Her
incredulity
made
her
uncomfortable
,
and
failing
of
other
expedient
,
she
said
:
-
"
I
know
you
’
re
hungry
,
Mart
.
It
’
s
sticking
out
all
over
you
.
Come
in
to
meals
any
time
.
I
’
ll
send
one
of
the
children
to
tell
you
when
Mr
.
Higginbotham
ain
’
t
to
be
there
.
An
’
Mart
—
"
He
waited
,
though
he
knew
in
his
secret
heart
what
she
was
about
to
say
,
so
visible
was
her
thought
process
to
him
.
"
Don
’
t
you
think
it
’
s
about
time
you
got
a
job
?
"
