"Dave," he said, rising to stand over
the square-built man in the swing
chair, 'ft's like pulling a sound tooth
to have to tell you the plain truth.
You've got a mighty bad case of
money-rot. The profit account has
grown so big with you that you can't
see over the top of it. You've horsed
back and forth between Stanton's OUT
fit and ours until you can't tell the
difference between your old friends
and bunch of lOw-down. conscience
less land-pirates. You pull your gun
and go to shooting whenever you get
ready. Wen stay with you and try
TO hold up our end-and Johns. And
you mark my words, Dave: you're the
man that's going to get left in this
deal; the straddler always gets left"
And with that he cut the interview
short and went back to the High Line

Miss Richlander's laugh was we'll re-

earnestly. to make it appear so.
You business gentlemen are so fun

Then there are two of them?" Kin

She rose and pressed the bell push,
and when the floor boy came, he was

skillfully made to talk about other
