stole them diamonds from her."
Birsky shrugged his shoulders
deprecatingly.
"You ought to be careful what you
are saying, zapp." he advised. "From
big mouth many Teller comes TO
pay $50 for smart lawyer to get
a libel case thrown out of court al
ready"
"a Talmudist would tell you the
same what | do, Birsky. The differ
ence between a sneak thief and a fell
ler which lives beyond his means is
that the sneak thief robs only from
perfect strangers"
"What do you mean-robbing ?"
Birsky protested. According to you,
if feller buys a couple thousand dol
lars goods which he needs it in his
business, understand me, on credit 60
days, y'understand, and then he
couldn't pay for 'em, understand me,
he is robbing already. An idee"
81 didn't say no such thing" Zapp
declared. "All | says is if feller
buys a couple thousand dollars goods
which he needs in his business on GO
days credit, and he couldn't pay for
'em on account he is buying for net
cash an automobile which he don't
need and couldn't afford, understand
me, then he is robbing, Birsky, and
that's all there is to it."
"How do you know Rebfeld gives
cash for the automobile, Zapp?"
"A question:" Zapp exclaimed.
Automobiles is always sold for cash,
Birsky, in especially to fellers which
couldn't afford an automobile, under.
stand me, because if such feller
would buy one on 10 days credit only,
and in between times his rent oder
life insurings falls due, understand
me, it would take so much enjoyment
! out of riding in the automobile, that
right away he finds out the Innings
amt up to sample oder the buttons
amt sewed on correct or something.
The automobile dealers figured it
right, Birsky. | wish the waist bus
mess was on G.. o. d. basis, too.
Because a concern which sells goods
for cash, Birsky, never gets no can
cellations from nobody"
"Never mind, Zapp. You would
see that pretty soon the automobilers
would sell on credit, too. People amt
going to be so crazy to buy automo-
bies, now that gasoline is showed up
so high" Birsky said. 81 see where
next week Rockefeller makes it "a
cents gallon"
"Well that don't change my plans
any, Zapp replied, "because the way

"Them two boys certainly lived be-
yond their MEANS" Zapp said.
"And it amt their fault that they
didn't live beyond Mar is Fasts
means and Harris Shapolnik's means
also. because when Il business man
starts in to live beyond his means,
Birsky, he's got a downtown con-
science and an uptown conscience.
That's why when Rebfield buys his
automobile on Broadway and 57th
street for net cash, he didn't worry
himself how much he owes to couple
of Canal street woolen houses like
Marcus Fast and Harris Shapolnik."
"Ain't it funny how most of them
extravagant fellers is got such an
elegant reputation for good pay?"
Birsky said.
"On the West Side above AID
street." Zapp amended. "And that's
what I'm telling you. Birsky. Marcus
Fast pays for Rebfield's automobile,
lust so sure as if he would of made
out a check to the order of the feller
that sold it, Birsky, and all them dia-
monds Bertha PITT wears should ought

and automobiles was run with water,
| couldn't afford pushcart even"
Even so. zapp, there's lots of fell
lers in the delicatessen business which
is obliged to run automobile deliveries,
and for every penny they've got to
pay more on gasoline, they stick two
cents pound on pastrami oder Frank
furters."
THAT again is something for a
manufacturer of sodamint oder pepsin
tablets to worry about, not me, Birsky.
Anyhow. Birsky. if cigar stores
couldn't sell cigarettes to minors under
the age of l6, there ought to be law
prohibiting delicatessen dealers from
selling their machshovos to adults
over the age of %. In fact, Birsky,
if Kansas and Maine would go pro-
hibition on deicatessen instead of
schnapps, Birsky, not only would it be
better for business, understand, but
there would he less crimes also, on
account there is more fellers feels like
committing murder the day after one
delicatessen supper than ten minutes
after hundred highballs, and don't
you forget it. And that's only one
reason why Rockefeller amt doing no
harm by putting up the price of gaso-
line, because when am getting heart
trouble from crossing Fifth avenue at
4 o'clock in the afternoon. wish auto
mobiles was run not with gasoline, but

mistake, Zapp." Birsky said. "Nowa-
