all the prudes in New York about his ears.
So he had to get a title that would mean
something. that would suit the story, and
that would still pass muster in a Sunday
school crowd. While he was looking for it
he signed the contract with Hoyt, and this
is the point at which the story begins.

1t was uproariously funny and decidedly

thusiastic over it. But neither said a
word. Later in the evening each hied him
furtively to the cable office and sent a
message to this side of the water. Frank
Mckee cabled Hoyt what good thing it
