Mr.. Flynecker, of the fifth floor. is an
other tenant who started out with the
idea that he could put his iron heel on
my neck and make a humble tool of me.
One day he rang me up, and said:

Office a lot of questions, and 1 want to
say to you that you are altogether too
fresh for the place. You mind your busi-
ness and trot around here very softly or

alone, and when you hear my ring don't

I got them into the cage and landed them
on the fifth floor and pointed to Mr. Fly
necker's door. They walked right in on
a poker game, with $50 on the table, and
the kid said the embarrassment round
there was four feet thick for about five
minutes. Those preachers didn't go away
without speaking their minds and was
pretty sure I'd hear from Mr.. FIynecker
about matters. In about an hour he got
into the elevator to go down, but in
stead of grabbing me by the hair he
