tossing. He is the chief clerk in the
second assistant postmaster-general'
Office and the contracts go through
him Mr.. Stone has the contractors
take seats in hi 5 handsomely uphol-
stored office. He feels in his pocket for
a penny. If he has nothing but large
bills in his pocket, which is apt to be
the case. he borrows a nickel from the
young man who writes shorthand for
him. Then he pitches up the nickel.
While it is away near the ceiling he
says 70 his young man; (which shall
it be?" And the young man answers:
