"Shall I write in It?" bu asked tenta

Tho distant kinsman blushed and thcu

At their approach "Fighting Bob" moved
up to make room for them, but the expres

of the two leaned well forward and, ad
Justing his glasses, tried to stare the navy
man out of countenance. Finding this of
no avail the mun took a card from his
pocket and, scribbling a few words upon It
with his gold poucll, requested the usher
to hand It to "Fighting Bob." The latter
read upon tho card tho name of a well
known millionaire and tho penciled words:
"i pay $500 a year for tho exclusive uso of

glance toward tho mlllonalro, took out his
