What Might Be Done

A travelling salesman, just before
reaching small town, had had the
misfortune to get hold of a 5O-dollar
note. In vain he tried, at the hotel
and elsewhere to get it changed. At
last in despair, he went to a mer-
chant and laid the bill down before
him, wordlessly. The merchant
looked at the money, and then at the
stranger.
Il can't change that thing"
NO. of course you can't" said the
travelling man YEARLY. Nobody in
the world can. But l wondered if
couldn't get a little something by
giving first mortgage. Life.
