Mr.. LAIDLAw, n clerk, wants 100000
for having been used by Russell Sage as a
shield at the time the bomb was dropt. Mr..
Laidlaw suffers from the common disadvan-
tage of those who try to sell the next day
after the market. Could there have been
time for negotiations after the bomb fell,
Mr.. Sage would undoubtedly have been
glad to pay him not merely 100000, but
probably five times that amount TO stand
between him and the Internal missile. But
the danger is past, Mr.. Sage has no further
need of a clerk rs fender, and Mr.. Laidlaw
may whistle for his money. Mr.. Sage is a
