f ,l v TOWN WEEKLY MAGAZINE SECTION >•' Anthony Renwood wu no longer a gullible, hysterical Cool. He knew. Hadn't he had ft good position, brilliant pros- pect*-—and a home—before Cartton Roper's servile hired Men had swept them all away with a few apologetic phrases •bout loyalty to the Ideals of the community? It was re- membering things like that, thinking around and around hi circles, that made a man's head go tight, so that he had to act before something Inside •mapped. There in the dark of the porch, he fumbled for a clg- ^ aret, but arrested his impulse listlessly as he remembered that he had just thrown a cig- aret away because the smoke had been flat and tasteless to his palate. Besides, there was that thing he had come back to look for. Someone was coming toward him, up the walk from Ane atreet. • He felt, rather/than aaw, the nearness of the /figure that stepped to the vfranda immediately beside him; for the mist was swirling more thickly every minute, obliter- ating everything about him. Already, the neaiest street lamps were evanescent nrolh- Kkc blurs. He had barely time! to won- der if they had rei-ognix^d him, after all. and come fo lootvjor him not that it mattered much when a man's voice said pleasantly at his elbow: \Sorry if I startled you.

York, the county aeat of Putnam County. Putnam was a part of Dutches* County un- til 1812 when, by an act of the legislature, k was made a separate county and named after General Israel Putnam. The cover picture is an air view of Car- mel's business district. In the foreground, across the main street from the lake, is the historic Putnam County Court House, with its cupola and flag pole, erected in 1814. Across the main street to the left of the court house ii the Putnam County Nathmal Bank, the pott office, and the Putnam Coun- ty Courier Building. The building to the extreme right is the Putnam County Memorial Building. On the extreme left is the Baptist Church which celebrated its 169th anniversary this summer. Nearly in the center is the new $400,000 high school and athletic field. they stood, two Isolated beings, together yet apart, in a nebu- loua world of their own. SO MUCH ISOLATED, indeed, that though Anthony heard a heavy car purr up the drive and stop before one of the notel entrances not twenty feet away, he could not see its lights. He heard the sound of feet, careful, unsteady, as though under a heavy burden, come from the hotel and cross the porch toward the car; but he made out no glow from the door through which they must have come. Suddenly he was glad of the presence beside him. For the first time in months of savage frustration, of sullen avoid- ance of his kind, he was aware of a great loneliness anil lung- ing for human comradeship. Be- cause he liked his companion's resonant, friendly voice, he suddenly wanted to see his tare. •'Smoke?'\ he asked. \That la -\ he added after a futile search of his pockets —\if 1 you can furnish the light?\ \Sorry I can't.\ the man said. \My last smoke tasted so much like nothing at all that, at the moment, I didn't think I'd ever want another. The fog. I suppose By and by. when that crowd in there has thinned out. we might slip in for a comfortable smoke — and a. nightcap, perhaps \ When Anthony did not an- swer, the man beside him went on in his casual, friendly voice, \Strange thing fog' I never noticed until tonight how It makes everything ta-ste, and look, and smell, and even s.mnd dlffeient I-ike thiit ra<lin. foi instance \ From the radio across the street, vei y softly now, mine the exquisitely blended voices of a large choir That vaulting harmony must come, of course, from the radio across the street; but by some, truk of the atmosphere, it seemed to proceed, now from this side, now from that; now from above, now from all around them. ' \There's something about be- ing in a fog,\ the man was go- ing on hesitatingly, as if ha were trying to explain some- thing to himself, \like finding yourself in a different world, among an entirely new set of conditions—cut off from your own kind. ... I don't like that feeling of being cut off. I'm a hopelessly gregarious soul, I guess. But its like—\ \I know.\ Involuntarily An- thony Bpoke his own 'thought aloud. \As if you were lost somewhere in time and space - like a runaway electron, per- haps, wandering at random, without one chance in billions of knowing where it's going or whether it's ever going to get there.' \Exactly. Strange, our talk- ing here this way, isn't it ? I've never seen you so far as I know. I haven't even a notion who you are—my own stupid- ity, of course.\ He seemed to pause expect- antly for an instant: then, when Anthony did not speak, hi went on in that casual yet gracious voice. \Yet I feel as if I knew you well. In fart, if you won't think me an egre- gious down for saying so. I nnd myself liking you tremendously, sir.'
