imaginable, and a little tuft OF chin
whiskers which began neatly TO be n

II II had suddenly become intoxicated.
His eyebrows were equally black, and
beneath them glowed a pair OF black
eyes which alternately twinlSied with
mischief and flashed with hawklike In
tenslty.
There was that In his bearing and
ease. however, which forbade lsvity or
ridicule. and which made the board of
directors take him as seriously as he
took himself. but Toad Jessup, after one
good look at him. went out into the
stock room. where he leaned over a bar
rel OF nails and laughed until he had the
stomach-ache.

they sighed with relief
