origin in man of that uaine-a
certain John Dun, VINO was con-
stable in England during the
early part of the last century.
Dun, as might be supposed,
was past master of his profess
sion, successful collector OF
debts. No job was too hard for
him to tackle, no debtors too
callous for him TO prick their
conscience or shame them into
payment IN one way or another,
One of the constable's pet
schemes was to call upon
debtor twice, and on each of his
first two visits he would wear
his ordinary clothes. Then, II
the debtor still refused to pay
and there was no doubt that OBJ
legation should be met, Dun
would adopt the stratagem of
dressing in some outlandish cos
rume-a scarlet cloak or pair
Of green tights-so as TO make
himself us conspicuous as pos
sible. Thus attlred and ringing
bell In order further to pro-
claim the reason for his visit, he
would return, and it was seldom

Because Constable Dun was
SO successful in the collection
of money due 1t became common
in such cases to say. You'll
