One could seo, in one's mind's eye, the cab bal- anced dizzily on one wheel, with Mr. Hawtrey, pale but determined, holding fast. Now, {n his wild, vau- flevillainous career, he was being whirled in and out of the delivery-wagon chain of the shopping district.

The urbane gentleman was speaking again. ‘Wouldn't I come around to the back door'and see Mr,-Hawtrey alight from his cab? No, thanks, I wouldn't, The imaginary chase had been exciting enough.

Why shouldn't I go into vaudeville? Now that I've got you here, I’m going to interview you, you seo?” For a long time I had lived in dread of just such ‘At last the worm had turned!
