owns foot of land or does dollars
worth of business in Boxton will grow
with it. We're going to boost Boxton!
That's what these gentlemen got me here
for. That's our business with you, Mr..
Nudge"
whats your game? What do you get
out of it?" asked Ezra, fixing his gray eyes
on the stranger with refrigerating intent.
"A businesslike question:" Starr flashed
back amiably. "Thats business. like
it. I'll give you a businesslike answer.
Boosting is my game, Mr.. Nudge. Mr..
Tibb here, can tell you what I've done in
that line out in my State. usually work
on fixed salary basis. Sometimes get
percentage on all new capital invested.
/ always get what's coming to me, and
there's never been kick yet. But this
case is little out of the ordinary. I'm
just breaking into the East. Here's where
the big chances are. I'm willing to take
this job on basis of actual expenses, for
the reputation I'll get out of it. That's
fair, isn't it?"
Starr turned to the committee as he
asked the question. They nodded gravely.
"Well," said Ezra, with show of inn
patience, whats it got to do with me?"
Everything replied Starr, warming
up to the situation. "As understand it,
there's one man that stands to make more
money out of the boost than anybody
else. That's you. You're big property
owner. Property values will go. way up.
You've got money to put to work. Bust
ness will boom. Well get new industries,
new people, new life. All that means
more money in circulation. 1t means
more money for you. That's plain, isn't
it? But we can't start on nothing. We've
got to have money to work on, for adver-
Using especially. We want every bust
ness man in town to put up every cent he
can spare for the work And now," Starr
concluded, taking long sheet of paper
from his pocket, 1--WE get right down to
brass tacks. You're the man to start the
ball rolling. Your name on this paper,
against good round sum, will do the bust
ness. Make it real money, Mr.. Nudge!
Remember, it all comes back with lot of
company. What do you say?"
FZRA NUDGE did not reach for the
proffered paper. He merely replied IL
guess not, and pulled his lean body out
of the chair. Then he picked up the bust
ness card of MIR. Starr and handed it back
to that surprised person.
much obliged for calling" he added.
"Good night"
The three members Of the committee
rose mechanically, hats in hand. But
Starr was undisturbed.
"Wait minute, he commanded. "Mr.
Nudge is going to talk it over with u.s."
"Oh, no, you needn't wait" counter
manded Ezra. "You got my idea, Joel.
Good night"
"Wait!" cried Starr, "Mr. Nudge, per-
haps l didn't make it plain enough to
you what we want to do. Now, let me-"
"You made it plain enough" was the
acrid reply. "You want to come into
Boxton and turn everything upside down,
and make people bigger fools than they
are now. And you want me to pay for it.
