Then there's the chap who talks HIM

manner ran The Mans tongue:
They've got about as much system in

to be out of the business, you know. He's
a back number, but since it's his money
that is in the concern nobody dares talk
of his antiquated methods. He hasn't
the slightest idea that there has been
any advancement In the world since he
began business a half century ago. There
ought to be a law laying fossils on the
SHELF he ended, with a smile that ex-
pressed satisfaction over his smartness.
And The Chum. taking the cue, laughed,
while an elderly gentleman who sat at the
right of them regarded the dapper young
chap. who discussed the firm which
bought his bread and butter, with un-
marked keenness- .
The next morning The Man found q
slip on his desk giving him the custom

explanation, for down in his. heart he
believed himself quite indispensable to

who heard his fll-timed and disloyal re-
marks in the restaurant was a lifelong
friend Of his. and that he desired the
services of no young man who was capa-
Bile of discussing him or his business
methods in public places
1t might have been a bit illuminating
