family. And I can see no rea-

been kidded, Mr.. Anonymous,
for giving wrong names or for
using first names. But I take
that rap gladly, sir. Why hurt
when it isn't necessary?
Things were going very badly
with Mr.. Martin, the owner Of
the shop. He had notes to pay
and obligations to meet. He
was not happy in life-and he
saw the handwriting on the
wall.
For a long time he thought
and he worried. The more
time went by, the less hope he
could see for the future. He
had a large stock on hand, but
business was at a standstill.
And he finally made up his
mind that he could fight it
through no longer. He was
going to take the easiest way
out.

the easiest way. Maybe it's

he proceeded to seal all the

o'clock in the morning the
coroner pronounced him dead.

Now follow me closely, sir.
Exactly one hour later, the
Golden Fleece Club, located
directly above Mr.. Martins
shop, went up in flames. The
engines roared along. Streams
of water were poured into the
cafe. And before the fire was
compltely extinguished, every
article in Martins shop was
damaged beyond repair by the
tons of water.
The dead man had been
fully covered by insurance.
If he had waited a few more
hours he would have been on

One Of the toughest birds that

side me.
On the mans right hand two
fingers were bandaged. l asked
him what had happened. Let
me quote him to you, Mr..
Anonymous. and see if you un-
derstand why I thought it was
a story.

Il wanna tell you, Mark, that
in all my life I never met such
a rat. Look at what happens:

IT gets a call from this guy
and I goes to see him. He tells
me that business is lousy, and
that he wants to start a fire
that will burn out his stock.
He tells me that he's heard
about my work and he asks me
how much I'd charge for the
job. l quotes him my usual
rates, which is 20 per cent of
the insurance.
Then the mueller grows curl

and asks me how I goes about
it. With me, it's q case Of

what 1 usually do. I gives him
all the dope about the candle.
the strings, the paper-maiche
and the gasoline. He listens
very closely. And when I gets
all through, he shakes my hand.
Thanks says he to me.
I'll probably hire you, but I
wanna think it over for awhile.
I'll let you know

it's kinda funny that T don't
hear nothin' from this guy, but
I guess it's maybe cause he got

mornin' I picks up the paper
