He got no further than the gate, where _ red-headed office boy informed him of the G. M.'s absence. I had Deen called to the gate to interview a party, and when our chat was over I saw the bootblack, who is no longer young, kneeling at young Bricktop's feet. Apparently the boy was sorry to be compelled to turn ‘Tony away and decided to “throw him a little business.” They made a picture for one of your artists—Tony as busy as if his customer ‘were a member of the Cabinet; Brick leaning against the office rall- 4ng with an air of assumed nonchalance, his teeth busy on a mouthful of gum, There were natural and unnecessary interruptions, of cour: ‘when the bell rang or when a new face appeared at the door, but finally the job was completed and Brick came back to earth.
