Again Matt favored Tony with a glance
out of the corner of his eye, and fell silent.
II don't like gutter" said Tony, after
q while.
Neither do l." said Matt.
Il haven't much use for guy that quits
cold and says whats the use?' Specially
young fellers, like you and me. This thing of
sitting still and letting the government feed
you amt going to make Teller proud of
himself, no matter what he did over there
in France. No, sir; the only way for
Teller to be proud Of himself is to feel he's
of some use in the world and that he can
earn living-and get rich as Rockefeller
maybe-no matter how much of himself he
left behind in France You're the right
sort, Matt I'm glad YOU amt going to set
back and say the world owes you living.
l wasn't much good as soldier, but as long
as I've two hands and brain I'll work for
a living-and I'll get over this gas business
all right don't you worry-and I'll stick my
little old pension and insurance money away
as velvet besides. A Teller was telling ne
the other day about the way they provide
these new-fangled arms and hands that
work almost as we'll as the kind God gave
us in the beginning. You think you'll get
one of 'em, eh 2"
"Sure, I'm going to have everything that's
going, Tony, old boy"
"Fine. That's the way to talk. By golly,
a guy like me don't know how lucky he is
that he's got both his hands. 1 should think
it would be mighty hard to get along with
out hand"
Matt put out his remaining hand and
tucked the blanket in around the edge of
the wheel chair in which his companion re-
clined. His gaze swept the figure of Tony,
the lad who bitterly declared he had not
"made good" the day the Boches directed
their gas and grenades at an isolated ma
chine gun in the side of the hill, and then
he looked scornfully at his own empty

The Unwashed Bolshevik

NJ OF feeling particularly apt at versi-

dallyfng about bit with Rossetti of late,
we offer the following germ of an epic
to the tender mercies of other editorial

quest that they 'carry on:
"The Unwashed Bolshevik leaned across
a loa0 bar IN Petrograd,
He didn't have dime, but oh, Sweet

it's being buried?

there has been a considerable diminu-

who have any left are just as keenly
bullish as ever and are in no mood TO
show mercy to the unfortunates who
still have to buy for their immediate
contract needs. The possibilities OF
further squeezing are many and are
appreciated by all who trade.
