over the chair. Then he mods to the doc
and the valet to go ahead. They ease
Runyon into his seat. Bixby motions 'em
to wrap up his knees. By an eyelid flutter
he shows the other nurse where to set her
tray.
It's almost as complicated process
as dockin an ocean liner. When it's fin

take a sip obedient and then go on

And, sure enough, there's silk-lined

in front of the arcade. In no time at all,
too, we're rolled across Seventh Avenue,
down through tunnel, and out alongside
shiny private car with brass-bound
bay-window on one end and fower-boxes
hung on the side. They even had carpet
laid on the steps. It's happy little home
on wheels.
Also there is Bixby the Busy, with his
ear out for us.
Talk about private seccing as fine

watchin him operate. Every move is as
smooth and silent as steel lathe runnin'
in an oil bath. He don't exactly whis-

l hits the front vestibule

like the corner of a perfectly good

silver vases full of roses, double hangin's
at the windows.
"Will you sit here, Mr.. Ellins?" muir
murs Bixby. "And you here, sir. Pardon

Then he glides about, pullin' down
shade, movin' vase, studyin' how the
light is goin' to strike in, pattin' a cushion,
shown out foot-rest-like he was settin'
the stage for the big scene. And right in
the midst of it near spilled the beans by
pullin an afternoon edition out of my
pocket. Bixby swoops down on me
panicky.
ooh, I'm so sorry!' says he, pluckin'
the paper out of my fingers. But may
put this outside? Mr. Runyon can not
stand the rustling of newspapers. Please
don't mind. There! Now think we are
ready"
| wanted to warn him that l hadn't
quite stopped breathin' yet, but he's off
to the other end of the room, where a
nurse in white cap is peellin' through
the draperies.
Bixby mods to her and stands one
side. Then we waits minute-two
minutes. And finally the procession APP
