an itemized bill of the horrible state of affairs 1t
don't look wonderful bad, as far can see.
The late banquet artist did work up something of
deficit before he left, owing to slim attendance early
in the season. but since then the place has filled up
and the books show good fat margin of weekly re-
Ceipts over expenses.

they will They've threatened to do it. Didn't you

promises. Promise them anything. That's all they
want
But things are bad" says Ollie. The meat
cook is careless, the halboys lazy and the walters
impudent. I've talked to them about it too, and
asked them if they wouldn't please do better; but,

But Pinckney is all worked up over the notion,

DON'T know how thick Pinckney spread it on; but
he must have done wholesale job, for they've

Would itl'' says Ollie. Why, with Count
Puggledorf in the house you couldn't drive them
away with club!'
Then the Count comes,'' says 1. "Pinckney's
got to make that bluff good, or we'll sue him for
breach of promise.
That's what wired him too and he sends back
word that he'll ship Puggledorf up the next
train. The minute Ollie spreads the news that
real live Count is on his way to Notch Manor, fifty
women stops packin' their trunks, and the Senator
reengages his suite for three weeks more, payin:

And you never see anyone recover his nerve the
way Ollie does. He don't take any back talk from
anyone, but keeps the help the jump, and tells me
he's going to finish the season ahead of the game.

A fussy little man wearin' gold spectacles steps

was cold ham.
