man was Mr.. johnson. and people who
met him in the street and did not know
him would have taken him for any
thing rather than a man who put out
his money to usury.
Certainly there was nothing of the
Shylock about him as he sat one spring
morning in his dingy Office going over
a much thumbed account book He was
a tall, spare, loosely built man, with a
pale face and thin, struggling crop Of
beard and whisker that always looked
as if it had grown in patches. Usually
when he was not talking to his clients
he carried a quill pen in his mouth.
There was something in this habit
which gave him the appearance Of an
abstracted poodle carrying a stick.
Mr.. johnson was deeply engrossed in
the consideration of certain entry in
his account book when the door Of the
loan Office opened very suddenly and
set the bell ringing with sharp disso-
nance. He heard light step in the lit
tie lobby which was partitioned off
from the rest of the room. For mo-

itself to Mr.. Johnson's astonished eyes
from beneath the ravishments of a
much befowered picture hat and seemed
out of keeping with the dingy
color of his little lobby.
