Cappy paused—a dramatic pause— and looked them over. “Out with it, father-in-law,” Matt Peasloy suggested heartily. “Your ideas are usually valuable, * said Mr. Skinner, “Don't hoard them.” “I've come to the conclusion that since I retired from business 10 years ago I have more business to attend to than I ever had.” _ for instance,” suggested his son- in-law. “Well, I'm rapidly drifting into the banker class,” Cappy complained. |"At least I'm asked to make a lot of unsecured loans.

Kyne figures that as a man} Discusses rooms. Now I find myself deve:opin3 a lot of belated sympathy for thy toucher just because he is a no-good son of a horse thief. Moreover, I haye discovered that for $10 I can, quite usually, get rid of a nuisance for life, because, once the touch has |been made, the toucher seldom has the courage to face the touchee again while the debt remains unpaid. I have also discovered that while the toucher’s demands are usually mod- est, he generally asks for twice as much as he expects to get; conse= quently, now-a-days, my philan- thropy among the unworthy has been reduced 50 per cent.” “Well, I suppose somebody has to help take care of the misfits of this world,” Matt opined. “Oh, I don't mind doing far more than my share toward taking care of life's misfits," Cappy protested. “The boys that rile me are the snappy ones, well-dressed, putting up a big front, pretending to be that which they are not and which they do not intend to be if they can avoid it. I'm getting fed up on polite crooks. I was up at a meeting of the board of directors of the Marine National bank this morning ‘when we considered a loan of $100,000 to the Oriental Import & Export company, which is the name under which an amiable was- trel named Albert T.
