CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Under the will of Andy Mas
~ teTS' mother, sldy's uncle,
Sheila'S father, had been his guar
dian and trustee of the estate I'M
til Andy reached legal age.
WILDER had ruled the youth with
an iron hand, putting him on a
modest allowance and making him
account for every expenditure. An
dy, spoiled by his indulgent mother,
chafed under these restrictions and
resented holly the unaccuStomed
discipline
At boarding school and college he
always exceeded his allowance, and
there were many painful inter
views with his guardian when the
bills came due.
College did not hold Andy long.
Studious application was foreign to
his nature. The crash come in his
sophomore year. when continuous
cutting of classes, combined with a
riotous episode in the dormitories,
led to notification that his pres
ence at that seat of learning no
longer was desired.
Following his dismissal, Andy
had made his home with the~Wil-
bers. Sheila mothered him and
acted as a shield between him and
her father whose patience had
reached the breaking point.
WILDER. at Sheila's instigation,
made. a place for Andy in his Of
flee, but Andy, knowing he soon
would have the spending of an am
pie income, could see no virtue in
work.
When his twenty-first birthday
arrived and his property was trans
ferred to him without restrictions,
he cut loose. He took the Pennsyl-
vania street apartment. acquired Ike
Sellers as a valet, and embarked
upon what he called the life of
gentleman.
His conception of such a "life"
was unhampered qualification Of his
desires. He ran with group OF new
friends" who had no hesitation in
helping him spend his money. Soon
he was exceeding his income and
debts piled up.
Andy-s income was derived from
stocks and bonds and several par
cells of real estate. The real estate,
located in the west end of the city,
once had been valuable, but since
its purchase during his fathers life
time, y had been engulfed in a tide
of low-standard population.
1t had deprecated steadily, and
rentals had decreased proportion
ately. This had cut more and more
into Andy's income. and little by
little, as his expenditures increased,
he had dipped into his capital.
He viSioned a new source OF
wealth in stock market speculation,
He tried it. and for a time Lady
Luck smiled upon him. Lately,
however, luck had turned aaginSt
him.
His real estate was heavily mort
gagged, and the best of his securities
had been put up with his brokers
to protect their loans on his mar
gined speculations. And now a
"bear" raid on the stock market had
brought a crisis in Andy's financial
affairs.
1T was a blue Monday for Andy.
i Seated at a desk in the living
room. he frowned as he consulted
the stubs in his eheckbook. He
picked up an envelope, carrying in
the corner the business address of
q brokerage firm, eyed it specula-
lively for moment and then ripped
