CHAPTER VII.

McQuade and Martin entered a cafe
popular for its noon lunches. 1t was
hot weather in July, and both were
hopping their bald foreheads, their
faces and necks. The white bulldog
trotted along behind, his tongue lolling
out OF his mouth and his eyes heavy.
The two men sat down in a corner
under an electric fan; the dog crawled
under the table. grateful for the cold
stone thing.
What do you know about this fell
low Warrington? asked McQuade,
tossing his hat on one of the unoccu-
pied chairs.

"Tip Pete off today. The police will

"All right. But what's all this about
Warrington" asked Martin, whose
curiosity was aroused.
"I'll tell you later" The waiter re-
turned with the platters of food, and
McQuade ate without furthe~ comment
or question.

Perhaps IL you have never met him

most famous but most widely known

he has Travelled nearly 100000 miles

very awkward. II was several weeks
before he got hole dug which would
accommodate the post in its proper

work attracted the attention Of many
OF his fellow students, and they

years afterward.

In persuading him that the best thing
he could do was to return to his home

turned up few years later. He came
to my Office and told me he had saved
$500 and proposed to complete his
course. congratulated him on his
thrift and his determination TO sue
