‘ N idea has Just occurred to

fi‘z’i one day after luncheon. us
Mr. Skinner. his general
manager in charge of the ltlcks Lo;
ging (t: Lumbering Company. and
Matt Peasle)’. president and sensual
manager of Cappy'a Blue Navigatln
Company. dropped into the latter's
omce fo.ra cigar and a discussion of
the Ricka‘ affairs in general. Cappy
paused—a dramatic pause—and
looked them over. 1' 0
"Out with it. father-in-law." Mall
Peasley suggested heartily.
"Your ideas are usually valuable.
sir." said Mr. Skinner. "Don't heard
them."
"I've come to the conclusion ‘but
since I retired from business ten
years ago I have more business to at-
tend to than I ever had."
"For instance." suggested his son-
ln-law.
“Well. I'm rapidly drifting into
the banker class." Cappy complain-
ed. “At least I' masked to make a
lot of unsecured loans. And some
wag on the street must have sold
my name to a string of promoters
as part of a sucker list. because of
late I'm bombarded with flashy liter-
ature that seeks to dazzle me with
promises of profits beyond the
dreams of average and ave-rice. in
the good old daysy it used to be gn‘d
mines in Mexico or rubber planta-
tions in Guatemala. but of late years
the sound of oil gushers has cap-
tured the public imagination nn~l as
a result there is considerable tearirf;
of hair and gnashing of teeth hearJ
in the land. Skinner, I want you to
issue orders in the general office that
the first man or woman there who
lets an oil-stock salesman in on me
gets set back one year on time at.
lowance toward a coveted increase
in salary."
Cappy sighed. "Pity the rich. or
those credited with riches," be com-
plained. “I think the average hu-
man vulture figures that as a man
grows old he grows kindller and
hence. easier. And I don't know
but that's firetty sound philosophy.
When I was younger I could turn
down a ready touch from a no-goo-l
son of a horse thief as easily as l
could wrap myself around a. steak
with mushrooms. Now I find myself
developing a lot of belated sympathy
for the toucher Just because he IS a
no-good son of a horse thief. More-
over. I have discovered that for ten
dollars I can. quite usually. get rid
of a. nuisance for life. because. once
the touch has been made. the touch-
er seldom has the courage to face
the touchee again while the. debt le-
mains unpaid. I have also discover-
ed that while the toucher's demands
are usually modest. he generally
asks for twice as much as he expects
to get: consequently. now—n-drtys,
my philanthropy among the un-
worthy has been reduced fifty pe'r
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 sllre toward taking care of
life's misfits." Cappy protested. "The
boys that rile me are the snappy
ones. well-dressed. putting up a his
front. pretending to be that which
they are not and which they do not
intend to be if they can avoid it. I at

ceriained that Dickson had a. credit
balance of twelve thousand dollars in
his account. In order to be on the
safe side I just naturally attached it

“No. Skinner; I cannot feel sorry

your hundred back to you on the

cause thrift means self-denhl. and
weaklings deny themselves nothing.
so in the long run somebody is stuck
for that hundred and it is never the
prudent man who is.
"On the other hand. if a poor but
honest fellow says to you: 'I need
a hundred worse than I need salva-
tion. and I‘ve elected you to loan it
to me. I don't Jtnow when I shall
repay. but I'll try to get square with
you sooner or later’-—suc.‘l a bold
fellow will quite usualy touch my
hard heart. And I've observed that
quite usually I get it back.
“Speaking of adroit touches. I am
reminded of a dissolute fellow who
claimed my friendship. despite his
faults. many years ago. ‘Ie was a
newspaperman. doii'ig waterfront for
a local rag and frequently called up-
on me or a story. Well. sir. one day
this chap met me asf I came out of
the March a club and besought an
interview. was in a hurry and
told him so. I even made the mi»
take of talking too much. for I add-
cd. further. that I was en route to
my tailor's (which was none of his
business) and begged to be excused.
“ ‘One moment. Mr. Ricka' laid
the pest. ‘A peculiar question of
credit arises in my mind. Now you
are a very rich man and I have ob-
served in all tailor shops a. sign
which reads: "A' deposit required
with all orders." Does your tailor
hold you to this rule?’
"‘No.’ I replied. ‘he does not.
When I go in to order a. new suit
of clothes I usually pay him for the
last one.’
”Ills shifty eyes brightened. He
looked down at his shabby trousers.
which had a tendency toward lace
at the bottom. and sighed. ‘I need
a. new suit very badly: he mourned.
'but unfortunately I have no credit
with tailors. They aways hold me
to that rule about the deposit. and
I never seem to have the deposit.
As a result. I'm very. very shabby.’
“I was about to sympathize with
him. but he waved away my prof-
fered xvmpathy. ‘I have a bright
idea. Mr. Ricks.‘ he declared. 'Sup—
pose you hand me a twenty dollar
bill now. Then I'll walk down to
your tailor'o with you. To be seen
entering his shop as a. familiar of
yours will tend to stabilise my stand-
ing with him instaauiy. despite my
somewhat neglected appearance.’ I
