mo, it wasn't quite as bad as that
| used to go around every month or
two and ask him if he couldn't let me
have some of it, but it never seemed
convenient for him to do SO. Finally,
a few weeks ago, l sold the claim
against him for $3.50. He refuses to
speak to me now. He says I have at
tempted to impugn his honor. He told
me in plain words that he didn't think
I would be as small n mean as that
for a mere $35, and I'll confess that
did feel, when 1 saw how cut up over it
he was, that 1 had don a rather shah
by trick"
The other day the man who bought
the claim told me he had seen Briggs
ley about it and the latter had offered
to settle for $11. I'm sorry I wronged
hi mand hurt his feelings. 1 suppose
it was. as he says, cry small and

dignity. He says 1 have none of the

Not quite. When the man to whom
I sold my claim for $3.50 called for a
settlement yesterday Briggsley wanted
to split the difference and call it square

you put it up against a business prop
