Mr.. Bullock, having to return to the
| board room. suggested to his friends that
before dining with him at his home that
| evening they should, instead of pursuing

car, which 'Jas within cal, and visit Cen

would give them an appetite for such food

would afford in the evening. Prof Pearley

Before they parted company Mr.. Bullock
said to Dandy that If he had a mind to
earn a tip he could report for duty at the
| brokers' home that evening, there being a
! sudden shortage of help in the pantry,
| which had just been reported to him by
| telephone. Dandy, who ever had a mind
| for tip, agreed to act as buffers assistant.
and the trip to the park was begun.
