Men's Gucci Leather Shoes 2012
About two hours later I saw an excited crowd besieging the front
of a drug store. In a desert where nothing happens this was
manna; so I edged my way inside. On an extemporized couch of
empty boxes and chairs was stretched the mortal corporeality of
Major Wentworth Caswell. A doctor was testing him for the
immortal ingredient. His decision was that it was conspicuous
by its absence.
The erstwhile Major had been found dead on a dark street and
brought by curious and ennuied citizens to the drug store. The
late human being had been engaged in terrific battle--the details
showed that. Loafer and reprobate though he had been, he had
been also a warrior. But he had lost. His hands were yet clinched
so tightly that his fingers would not be opened. The gentle
citizens who had know him stood about and searched their vocabularies
to find some good words, if it were possible, to speak of him.
One kind-looking man said, after much thought: "When 'Cas' was about
fo'teen he was one of the best spellers in school."
While I stood there the fingers of the right hand of "the man that
was" which hung down the side of a white pine box, relaxed, and
dropped something at my feet. I covered it with one foot quietly,
and a little later on I picked it up and pocketed it. I reasoned
that in his last struggle his hand must have seized that object
unwittingly and held it in a death grip.
