Having passed up supper, breakfast and dinner in order to conserve the spud, he was now bent upon its destruction. He diced the spud neatly and placed It lit the skillet. Jim sat down to eat It and, with his mind on eitow and nothing hut chow, he did something lie should not have done: he sugared it. He got rid of the portion he had taken into his mouth, in disgust and hollow consternation, and sat down on n the edge of his lied, staring, and hunger-riddeat the ruins of the feast.
