Excerpt from Birth Day of heat withered Enrage. It was the eighth day of such heat. The people had counted, they began to take ht in its continuance. She's gone up two degrees to-day, they told one another. And: Looks like this'll go down as the hot Summer of Eighty-seven. Enrage watched the thermometer, observed when the Wisconsin river ice finally blocked and when this ice began to move in Spring, kept in vases the list of these dates, and delighted when degrees and dates sur passed themselves.

However, there were some who kept these tallies for love of them. At four o'clock on the eighth day of the heat, there came down the Enrage main street a youth of six-and-twenty. His hair was flat and glossy-damp on his forehead, a limp handkerchief was tucked in his collar, his cheap, neat suit was dusty. He carried a sample case. His name was Marshall Pitt, and he was trav eling representative for Hart, Hollow and Orr, Pickle and Fruit Products.
