mittee will be directly responsible
for the major reforms which are
to centralize the bar organiza-
tion's authority over its own pro-
feSSion.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

TINE door Of the restaurant
Il opened suddenly and man
came in. He was young man Of
average height, rather squarely
built. He wore a light tan topcoat
and, tilted down over his eyes, a
derby hat. The young man saw
Bannister and hesitated. Then,
rather deliberately, he marched TO
the cashiers desk.
Wanna cash this check" he said
in a voice that carried clearly.
The reply of the young man at
the cash register did not reach
Bannisters ears, but evidently it
was not in the affirmative.
But I wanna cash this check"
the newcomer repeated louder, more
heatedly. He went on, as the cashier
heSitated. Say, whereza manager
this dump? Lemme talk-ta the
manager! He'll do it for me, all
right, all right. He knows me.
Everybody round here knows mel"
A dozen heads had turned to see
what the commotion was about. The
embarrassed cashier was explaining
But I'm sorry. It's against our
rules to cash checks for any one. I'd
be glad to do it for you, but it's
against the rules"
'Lemme talk-ta the manager!"
the newcomer demanded, brandiSh
ing the check and pounding the
counter for emphasis.
He's not here" the cashier said.
Mr.. Locke just stepped out of the
building"
1t was Gainey who interrupted.
He touched the newcomer on the
arm. Excuse me-" he said quietly,
aren't you Mr.. Drugan? Al Dru-
gan?"
The other backed off, eyed him
severely, Certainly I'm Al Drugan.
Who wants tknow? Don't blieve I
have the pleasure Of your acquaint-
ance-"
mo, you don't know me, Mr..
Drugan," Gainey said pleasantly,
but I was trying all morning to
get in touch with you. This is a
piece Of luck for mel"
Drugan waved him aside i'm
patiently. Luck has nothin' to do
with it," he proclaimed oratorically.
'Nothin' whatever! Fact is I came
in this restraint" He stumbled
over the word, repeated, Fact is
came in this restraint to cash a
check"
Bannister had joined the group.
IF the gentleman wants to cash
a check maybe I can do it for him."
he said. What is the amount?"
DRUGAN turned, a look of be-
- wilderment in his eyes. Then
he understood. Five dollars an
sixty-f1ve cents" he announced
pompously. Five dollars an sixty
five centSl"
Banmster had pulled a wallet
from his pocket, was counting out
the change. Here you are." he
said, smiling. and handing over
the amount. Five dollars and
siXty-f1ve cents. Now if can have
