can't last long in this up-and-com-
ing profession unless you keep
your hands clean"
Almost unconsciously Abe
looked at his chubby white hands,
then put one blunt finger on bell
on the corner of his desk.
Calling out the home guard"
Sandy grinned maliciously.
mo, my partner. He's in on all
this"
ST thought you were going to
say he pushed you in. But now
let's get down to cases." he be-
gan, only briefly acknowledging
Hartley when he came in the Office
and stood protectingly beside Abe.
1--WE been working with Saun-
ders on a pretty sweet printing
deal, and he told me last week he'd
been forced to award the contract
to you because you'd made him
such ridiculously low price. 1
know my price was rock bottom,
Zimmerman-and either you're
airing a personal grudge against
me, or you're working some
monkey shines on the side. It's
happened more than once, so be
careful what you say. want a
straight answer"
Abe hemmed and hawed, looked
to Walt for support. The other
man shrugged as if to indicate this
was not his party. Abe reluctant
ly admitted, ooh, it's not you, not
at all. You see just made very
fortunate deal with a printer on
that estimate, bought my paper
cheap" he spread his hands to
indicate how easy it was for Acme
to underbid competition legiti-
mately.
"That might honestly happen
once, or even twice. But it's hap
pened more than that to me. It's
gotten to be pretty much the rule,
where Acme's concerned. If you
can bulldoze printers into giving
you bids like that, you must be
playing squeeze-out game
There's legitimate profit for every
body in this profession, and if
you're cheating some poor devil of
a printer that's worse than try
ing to outwit me. Because I'm in
a position to resent it," And
Sandy looked capable of carrying
out his threats.
Walt stepped into the breach al
that moment, and with a depre-
eating gesture said, "Come now
Knight. This won't get you any
where. Business is business, anC
the sooner you learn to keep your
nose out of our affairs the better
Wise up; you'll find it's the sur.
vival of the fittest."
"Well, I've said my say. From
now on, you watch where you walk
because by the Lord Harry III
muss you both up if you cross me
again" Sandy was settling his
light gray hat upon his head
when another thought occurred tt
him. tits no wonder Miss Mad
den left this outfit; she proba bly,
couldn't stand the smell of it!H
: you're a fine one to talk about

aim: service. The money Is Sec
ondary."
Marcia was glad once more to
be in the confidence of Sandy, and
his straight analysis of his own
position pleased her. She looked
about the office to see that his
strictly ethical methods were pro-
ducing new business, and her
heart swelled with pride. She
would give her eye tooth to be as
ISOLATED in business with such an
idealistic executive.
Tell me honestly, how are you
getting along as a free lance 2"
Sandy brought the conversation
around to the girl.
Its been hard, but l think 1
have foothold now" she told
him, reluctant to admit details of
the hard battle she was fighting
to win in the face of unfair odds.
She wouldn't cry to him about the
trouble Acme had caused her; in
stead, she thought of each blow
Sandy had landed as having been
struck in her defense! II think
I'm really going to like it better,
although it is physically firing to
contact so many employers. I'm
afraid I must be lazy"
Sandy sensed some of the OBJ
stacles that must have been put in
her way, but wisely refrained from
extracting her secrets.
Suddenly she jumped up from
her seat and went out into the
main Office. When she returned
her hands were behind her back,
and there was a teasing look in
her clear eyes. Guess what ?"
she dared him, 1--WE found a skele-
ton in your closet!" And she
paraded up and down in front of
him until he forced both hands
before her. She held one of
Paula's sketches, with it's bold
likeness of Sandy. Thinking he
would Immediately catch the re-
semblance, she said, well, what
do you think of it?"
Zone Of the best things Paula's
done. Why?"
Because it's picture Of you.
And all her other pictures are of
you. The crazy kid has drawn
you into every man she sketched;
you seem suddenly to have become
her IDEAL" Marcia was telling as
much of the truth as she dared,
anxious to see what Sandy's re-
action would be. AS a matter of
fact, Sandy was highly gratified to
see that his experiment was get
ting some "outside" help he had
not counted upon. Even Paula
seemed to be joining the game to
add flames to the fire of Marcia S
growing jealousy. Good!
II think you're exaggerating, ~
he said, barely concealing a smile.
'The poor kid probably doesn't
have any other model, and I'm
always Johnny-on-the-spot. And,
of course, I am a handsome cuss!"
he staggered mockingly in front
of her, and Marcia was forced to
smile. She was relieved to find
that he did not seem deeply con-
tcerned about the hero worship of
Paula-and, thought Marcia, it's
just as well I brought it up jok-
ingly, otherwise he might have
misinterpreted it if he had discov-
cred the fattering likenesses him.

OPEN LETTER TO THE CECIL
DELEGATION AT ANNAPOLIS
March %, 1887


Gentlemen:
/ want to call your attention to
your brave attempt to correct all the
errors and restrictions in the State
Liquor laws, especially as they apply
to Cecil County.
May l also suggest that you omit
ted one quite important restriction,
which causes the dealers quite little
worry and is impossible to enforce.
refer to the prohibition of sale to
minors and to those under the influ-
ence of liquor
l also wonder whether you chose
the best method of making such i'm
portant changes, that is, in substi-
cutting your bill for one of Mr.. Co.
bourn's.
1t is evident that liquor bills still
have right of way, and we are going
to have to be patient while longer,
before we get chance to bury "Old
John Barley Corn" again.
That time will come.

The kindly spirit wends:

Clean inns-and all the while,
Very top of Cecil, where
The fertile meadows smilei
Pastures of undying grass,
Young wheat so freshly green;
Far back from busy highways set
Old houses so serene:
Little town of Rising Sun,
Here you are-good day!
Very top of Cecil, sweet
With promises of May!
