Who Refused to Help Him Lift the
Mortgage on His Mothers Home.
copyright, 1901, by C. B. Lewis.l
1t is but natural that an elevator boy
in a skyscraper should seek TO size up
new tenant as soon as possible. and
when Mr.. Hagadoon moved in on the
ninth floor the other week / got line
on him in twenty-four hours. He claim
ed to be agent fer grindstone quarry,
and he had gritty way with him.
had scarcely decided that / could never
give him my confidence and feel like
son toward him when he called me up
to his room and said:
"Sammis. | want to say a word to
you. | understand that you are father
less?'
Yes, sir"
"And you are trying to pay of a
mortgage on your mothers homer
"Yes. sir"
'Wen, don't blame your father for
dying. and hope the mortgage will be
foreclosed. l wouldn't give you ten
cent piece to save your neck. You are
one of those fresh kids who are on the
spy and gossip, AID you expect quar-
ter every time you carry tenant up
or down. You have run against snag,
Sammis. You have met a man who'll
tie you up in knots the first time you
open your mouth. Look out for me,
Sammisr'
1t is needless to say that my feelings
were hurt lie had jumped on me with
both feet without cause. A boy in a
blacksmith shop would have gone away
and felt crushed for year, but ! was
sad for about ten minutes and then
thirsted to get square. l had hardly
got down stairs before my mind was
made up that | would some day hold
Mr. Hagadoon's nose to his own grind
stone and hold it hard. He didn't have
no boy about his Office. and so | tried
to make friends with his typewriter. I
had no sooner offered her a stick of
gum, however, when she turned on me
with:
boy, 1 am up to your little game,
and it won't work. Better tend right
to your own little business"
A week had passed. and l had
learned nothing about the grindstone
business, when strange cub made up
