for one of the most sprightly and
joyous of the many clever tales he
has turned out.
Elmer was a cigar store clerk in
q small town in California. He
was young and such a human live
wire that anyone with half an eye
could see he vas not destined for
long to spend his time handing out
ropes" Gigs and plug cut smok-
ing tobacco to a clientele none too
discriminating. If Elmer stayed in
the game at all, it would be to w
his smoke emporium, and 1t
would be no hick affair but in the
latest city style and a credit to the
town. Something in the nature of
these preliminary ambitions was
about to be worked out when news
came of the death of a relative n
Elmer's being made sole heir to a
million dollars. Something was lost
to economics and progress, for a
natural hustler now found himself
with no incentive to hustle.
You may think it is the old story
of the new rich or OF a beggar on
horseback; but it isn't. Our Elmer
was a quite level-headed citizen,
with plenty of savvy and a back
bone hat was built for carrying
burdens and also acting as an eff
Client power station for the genera
ton of courage; but with all these
qualities he would most certainly
have slipped had not a manager
suddenly arisen to take him in hand
and guide him from the pitfalls
which his money-blinded eyes
failed to see.
1t vas a girl. of course: but what
a manager and what adroitness she
used to put her management into
effect! She had been trust officer in
the towns bank. and from behind
her wicket had seen more of the
foibles of life and had absorbed
more human nature than Elmer had
come into contact with during his
whole career. She nae a strong

office and DESTROYS of seeing him.

the lawyer answered. 81 haven't

Importance and diminish his"
McPeake finished reading the pa
per and lighted a cigar; when the
cigar was consumed, he opened the
door leading to the general office
and bowed Hiram Butterworth in
with a CHEEKY good morning and
a polite inquiry as to the state Of
the Butterworth health.
I'm done for" his visitor replied
ag%itatedly and sank heavily into
the overstuffed armchair which Alb
solom McPeake reserved for his
clients. Yes, done for"
Il wouldn't say that, Mr.. Butter.

Hiram Butterworth flared in sud-
den rageful Impotence. why

and answered the question himself.
Because you don't know anything
about it, that's why. And I do. I
ought to. I've paid out enough good

have received six identical verdicts.

He shuffled his feet, and Nc
Peake, glancing down. observed
that Butterworth's shoes were old,
cheap and worn. And the thin,
threadbare suit, cheap and ready
made, old and demoded. coupled
with the ~saw-edged collar and the
plain black "ready-to-wear" neck
tie. still further heightened the
atmosphere of misery and neglect
which this old man radiated.
McPeake replied without irrita-
ton I'm very sorry to hear this
disturbing report, Mr.. Butterworth.
What did the doctors say was the
matter with your"
Hardening OF the arteries and

.'Three years ago I found myself

called on Doc Reiter to cure it.

diagnosis" He bored into McPeake
with his gimlet eyes. "Tm liable

McPeake frowned but kept his
temper. You will recall-pardon
me for reminding you-that for

to make a will, Mr.. Butterworth."
That's right, that's right" the
sniser complained. You're n of

cents I'd have another lawyer draw

I don't suppose we'd written to each
other for twenty years before
Mabel died, on account Of me not
thinking much Of her husband.
Good enough cuss, but no git-up
amigo to him."
The old wretch chuckled pleas
urably as he recalled his futile
brother-in-law. Never laid eyes
on Elmer" he went on. Never
heard from him in my life and
wouldn't know him from Adams

He handed the lawyer a photo

ment and gave it back. "You fiat
