own expense and supplements it with
cigars. 1t seems that he left his apart
ments in low-spirited frame Of mind

cheer him up Accordingly he went to
the restaurant and ordered a juicy steak
and minor things in keeping. After the
order was given ne noticed n sign an
nouncing that fresh Holsters were to
be had and added one to his order.
While waiting for his dinner with an

waiting to take the belated West River

were for two cups of coffee and both
orders came in at about the same time.
