"I was a youiiK fellow and new lo tho

Now Mr. A. - - - wiih my boss, and 1
didn't know much about hU frlemls, hut If
this was a specimen id ilu-m 1 didn't lUo

The door opened and a man stuck his h 'i.d

' 'Such anything of a larnd and reath

' I didn't know anything about thu low,

In some of my clot lies and drove him across

"Ho cut the country after that ami I

with every dollar the bank held.
"Some yeais ago I caiiio to Now York

" 'You got your money out of the haul.,

" 'Hid you send mo that note?'
" 'Sure thing. I was In Hie deal, but I
didn't like to see you hit. 1 owed you a

"He never has anything lo say to me,
but ho always looks glad to see me. 1
suppose he's a Hash crook, hut I've an idea
that if I needed a .little money 1 could
borrow It fnini him more easily than from
any of my Wall street frlemls. "
