Well" said Benson. what do you

Kittrell paused an instant, and then
said:
Il won't draw It; that's what think
OF IT,"
Benson flushed angrily and looked
up at him.

"You are quite right, Mr.. Benson
but can't draw that cartoon"
We'll. great Cod" yelled Burns,
what have we got here-a gold
brick?" He rose with a vivid sheer
on his red face. plunged his hands in
his pockets and took two or three
nervous strides across the room. Kit
trell looked at him, and slowly his
eyes blazed out Of face that had
gone white on the instant.
What did YOU. say, sir?". he de-
manded.
Burns thrust his red face. with its
prognathic jaw, menacingly toward
Kittrell.
II said that in you we'd got a gold
brick"

you to do with It? / don't work for

"You don't? Well, l guess it's us

Gentlemen! Geptlemen!' said
Glenn, waving white, paciiicatory
hand.
Yes, let me deal with this. IL you
please" said Benson, looking hard at
Burns. The street car man sneered
again, then. in ostentatious contempt,
looked out the window. And in the
stiffness Benson continued;
Mr.. Kittrell, think a minute. Is
your decision final?"
1T is final, Mr.. Benson" said Kit
trell. And as for you, Burns" he

draw that cartoon for all the dirty
money that all the bribing street car

Mr.. Glenn's bank here. Good evening

his own home that kittrell felt the
physical effects which the spiritual
squalor OF such scene was certain
to produce in nature like his.

They were, indeed, both happy, hap
