got up; snufing back blood and wiping his nose with the back of his hand。 He

crossed to the Colorado Lounge and shoved through the batwing doors; making them

fly back and bang into the walls。

The place was empty 。。。 but the bar was fully stocked: God be praised!

Glass and the silver edging on labels glowed warmly in the dark。

Once; he remembered; a very long time ago; he had been angry that there was no

backbar mirror。 Now he was glad。 Looking into it he would have seen just another

Loneliness surged over him suddenly and pletely。 He cried out with sudden

DENVER

At 8:31 A。M。; MST; a woman on TWAs Flight 196 burst into tears and began to

passengers (or even the crew; for that matter); that the plane was going to

crash。
