Invariably they had = anywhere
from one hundred thousand feet to
half million, and it had been on
sticks for periods running from six
months to three years, SO it was quite
dry = just the kind of stock for flum-
ing.
They made Pitcher an astonish-
1ngly low figure, as he thought they
would, and as this fiuming deal had
driven from his mind all thought of
possible lesser deals, and calm in the
knowledge that at least ten options
on stock aggr6gating more than three
million feet would be mailed him
that night, he returned to his Office
and for an hour gave himself up to
reflection upon ways and means of
purchasing approximately thirty
thousand dollars worth of lumber,
on reserve cash fund of thirty
dollars.

temptation of it did not stagger Mr..
Pitcher. On the contrary, he went
home to his boarding house that
night, stepping high like ten-time
winner; ate his dinner with his ac-
customed relish, slept well and,
bright and early next morning, was
at his Office ready for business. Ten
envelopes lay on his desk, and after
perusing them all, and finding them
quite satisfactory, he went out and
rustled furiOusly around the city
yards all day long without getting
close enough to an order.to tag it with
buggy whip.
However, he was not discouraged.
AS a matter of fact, he was merely
marking time, for at nine o'clock the
following morning the casual OBJ
server might have noticed Reuben X.

cigar stand across the street from
the hotel where he knew Cyrus p.
Keating always put up when In town.
At nine-fifteen Heating emerged from
the hotel and walked down the street,

accident, he bumped into Rube

How're you coming on with that

the usual common places over, they
walked downtown together.

for it. I'd still be ahead of the game"

Tor IL.
Now it was characteristic of Rube
Pitcher that he should commence
business at exactly seven minutes
after three. Any other man would
have called that day wasted. He
would have made up his mind to
start in business for himself at eight
o'clock the following morning. Not
so with Reuben X. Pitcher.
AT the corner of Battery and Cali
fornia streets an old customer, one
Cyrus p. Keating, of the Tuolumne
Flume & Irrigation Company, hailed
him.
Hey, Rube," he shouted
Hello there, Mr.. Keating" Pitcher
crossed the street and shook hands.
Everybody called him Rube; but
while he had known Cyrus p. Heating
four years, and was on perfectly
friendly = almost fraternal - footing
with him, he had never called him
Cy.
What brings you up to town." he
inquired of Keating.
I'm buying lumber, Rube. Let's
ooze into a thirst parlor and hoist
one"
What! While there's lumber to be
sold? Never! Wine is a mocker and
strong drink is raging say, what
do you mean by being untrue to me,
Mr.. Heating? A month ago when /
was in Fresno didn't I hang ten car
loads Of rough common on you on
the representation that the market
on rough common was going up? And
didn't it go up fifty cents? And
wasn't I in your Office less than a
week ago, and didn't you turn me
down without an order? Yet you're
up here buying lumber and don't
even get look at your specifications.
Tell me what I've done to deserve
this?"
" EATING took him by the arm.
II mot thing in the world, Rube.
But last week you were selling Ore
gon pine and I'm here buying Cali
fornia redwood"
"Oh-h-h," said Mr.. Pitcher, appar-
emily Modified, that's different.
When did you get into town."
Just arrived"
''How are you, anyway"
Thirsty. About that drink" and
Heating jingled money in his pocket
Thank you, no." Reuben raised
his nose and shifted, after the manner
of bird dog. II smell an order over
at North Beach and I've just got time
to land 1t before the five o'clock
whistle blows. Thanks, Mr.. Heating.
Some other time," and shaking hands
again he was off.
But not to North Beach. Young
Mr.. Pitcher wasn't that kind of a
free lance salesman, for Opportunity
In the shape of Cyrus P. Keating had
struck him fairly in the face and his
first big deal was on.
Heating was Vice President and
General Manager of the Tuolumne
Flume & Irrigation Company and
was in town to buy redwood lumber.
That meant that his company was
about to build large flume. for red
wood is one of the few woods that
never deteriorates in water. Very
