ASKED hin:
Nope. III lug 'em along with me-" he
replied, and the kimonos were done M In
a nice box ana nc carried them away.
Then he began TO figure on about
time ms pal would return from Paterson.
He was a%nSious to find out Just what price
his pal had got against old Oxford.
There's no telling but what he may
have got as good IA IN To l.. he said to HIM
SELF. ~Ihose sharp mugs mt Saratoga sure
30 whack the daylights out OF q price when

vel; its lust IA likely that ! get 50 TO for
my .kale as not. and that1l make me $500

This reflection comforted him. He'd
made a pretty good hole in the 800 that
he'd had in hrs clothes when he got the
news that oxford had o and II was
pleasant TO hope that he'd bought all of
that stun and still had a big wad OF pure
velvet T. come
Fact IT, he reflected, "maybe I'll take a
little run ur to Saratoga for the remainde-
OF the meeting Mt the Spa. Might ~ well
"a not. I'm pretty lucky right now. and
there isn't any reason why | shouldn't
clean up az the Spa and come back with the
gongs on
+ lied with these roseate pictuhngs. he
arrived AT his fat and found dinner waiting
and his wife with n headache. But she
didn't have any more headache when she
caught sight OF the brooch and the two
handsome kimonos, and he swelled up like
a deep sea drumfish over her visible happi-
ness.
