"
he
said
desperately
.
"
Come

Martin
declined

Water

wagon
?
"
This
time
Martin
nodded
,
and
Joe
lamented
,
"
Wish
I
was
.
"
"
But
I
somehow
just
can
’
t
,
"
he
said
in
extenuation
.
"

"
Martin
knew
of
the
enormous
gulf
between
him
and
this
man
—
the
gulf
the
books
had
made
;
but
he
found
no
difficulty
in
crossing
back
over
that
gulf
.
He
had
lived
all
his
life
in
the
working
-
class
world
,
and
the
camaraderie
of
labor
was
second
nature
with
him
.
He
solved
the
difficulty
of
transportation
that
was
too
much
for
the
other
’
s
aching
head
.
He
would
send
his
trunk
up
to
Shelly
Hot
Springs
on
Joe
’
s
ticket
.
As
for
himself
,
there
was
his
wheel
.
It
was
seventy
miles
,
and
he
could
ride
it
on
Sunday
and
be
ready
for
work
Monday
morning
.
In
the
meantime
he
would
go
home
and
pack
up
.
There
was
no
one
to
say
good
-
by
to
.
Ruth
and
her
whole
family
were
spending
the
long
summer
in
the
Sierras
,
at
Lake
Tahoe
.
He
arrived
at
Shelly
Hot
Springs
,
tired
and
dusty
,
on
Sunday
night
.
Joe
greeted
him
exuberantly
.
With
a
wet
towel
bound
about
his
aching
brow
,
he
had
been
at
work
all
day
.
"
Part
of
last
week
’
s
washin
’
mounted
up
,
me
bein
’
away
to
get
you
,
"
he
explained
.
"
Your
box
arrived
all
right
.
It
’
s
in
your
room
.
But
it
’
s
a
hell
of
a
thing
to
call
a
trunk
.
An
’
what
’
s
in
it
?
Gold
bricks
?
"
Joe
sat
on
the
bed
while
Martin
unpacked
.
The
box
was
a
packing
-
case
for
breakfast
food
,
and
Mr
.
Higginbotham
had
charged
him
half
a
dollar
for
it
.
Two
rope
handles
,
nailed
on
by
Martin
,
had
technically
transformed
it
into
a
trunk
eligible
for
the
baggage
-
car
.
Joe
watched
,
with
bulging
eyes
,
a
few
shirts
and
several
changes
of
underclothes
come
out
of
the
box
,
followed
by
books
,
and
more
books
.
"
Books
clean
to
the
bottom
?
"
he
asked
.
