month after the banquet it happened
that Edwards. the head of the house, -
was called to st. Louis on business. He
dropped in to call on Myrick, with whom
he had formed pleasant personal rela-
tions, in spite of the misunderstanding
which had marred their first meeting.
As Edwards sat in the office a boy
brought in a telegram to Myrick 1t was
dated at Kansas City and was signed
by Andy Hogan. win call on you to-
morrow morniag," it said. please save
your orders"
Myrick handed 1t over to Edwards.
'Thatn show you that your men are
always looking for business" he said.
Yes" said Edwards, with a twinkle In
his eye, land it appears to me that it's
about up to us to teach that smart young
man lesson he won't forget"
Myrick took Edwards home TO dinner
that night, and after dinner the two sat
and laughed long and deeply over their
cigars. Then they took a cab and drove
down to the Central police station, where
MyricS knew the man in power.
First. however, a telegram was sent TO
Andy Hogan at Kansas City.

was asked, and Andy" answered. nam

one Of the officers drew an imposing
document ornamented with a red seal
from his pocket and proceeded to read il
IN hurried and slurring way. "Andy"
