''Mr. Currier is good for anything he
|orders," he said to the man in charge;
zone OF my old customers. This is Mr..
Bryan, Mr.. Currier. He will take good
care of you, and stand for you just
the same as would. The fact is, have
sold out. I've Just turned over the out
fit to Bryan. By the way, isn't Mr..
Sturtevant friend Of yours?"
l nodded. I couldn't have spoken ii

'Well," continued the ex-"night owl"
man, che came here one night, about
month ago and told me the most
wonderful story i ever heard. I've just
bought place en- Eighth Avenue,
where ! am going to run a regular
restaurant-near Twenty-third street.
Come and see me-"
Again the Wonderful Story.
I started to walk homeward, finger
| ing the solitary nickel in my pocket
and contemplating the certainty OF rid
| ing down town in the morning. When
II reached Union Square, ] examined
my address book for the home OF
Sturtevant, but it was not recorded.
Then remembered the cafe in Univer-
sity place, and, although the hour was
late, 1t occurred to me that he might be
there.
He was. In a far corner Of the room,
surrounded by a group OF acquaint-
ances, saw him. He discovered me at
the same instant and motioned to me
| to join them. There was no chance for
the story, however. Half dozen men
were around the table and was the
farthest removed from Sturtevant.
cts too bad, Mr.. Currier," remarked
ono Of the party3 "you should have
come q little sooner. Sturtevant has
been telling us a story, 1t is quite
wonderful, really. I say, 6turtevant,
won't you tell that again, for the bene'
fit Of Mr.. Currieri"
"Why, yes. I believe that Currier has.
s0mehow failed to hear the magic story,
although think he was the first one
to whom mentioned IT at all. Sit down
here and you shall have It,"
We were Interrupted at that instant,
by a uniformed messenger who handed
s.. irtevant telegram. It was from his
chief, demanding his instant attend
ance at the Office.
"Too bad" said Sturtevant, rising
and extending his hand. "Tell you what
I'll do, old chap. I'm not likely to be
gone any more than an hour or two.
You take my key and wait for me in
my room. In the escritoire near the
window you will find an old scrap
book, bound in rawhide. Read that and
wait for me until return"

With that he went out, and lost
no time In taking advantage OF the per
mission he had given me.
