OMPANIONSHIP . . . comradeship! A stark thought came to Joe Murray. It came inevitably. It came and abided with him, unbidden. It had been with him a long time. he suddenly saw, unrecognized. These stings, these rankling stabs . . they were alive! They were not. they never could be, happiness | and peace, the visions; they were passionless and dead and unattainable.
