Bitter and restless, he had gone away three weeks ago, telling Elsie, his wife, that he was out to get a real job. But no one would take him without a release. As the days passed he longed intensely to be with his family again but pride would not let him return a failure. Finally, funds running low, he took the job as Santa Claus for the Christmas holidays.
