He couldn’t understand why he should be held back, unless there was something in the name of the firm he worked for. : Cheepskate & Titewad were grain brokers and Dick Bingham had ventured at times to speculate a little on the strength of “insi information,” but s the dips and tips would fail him. leclared, however, that if he ever rose above the common horde, the rise would come sudden and when least expected And when the opportunity did come, he told himself, no matter if it found him on a high-stool or any other seat, he would rise to the occasion.

Suddenly a bundle slipped from her arm and landed in Bingham’s lap. Politeness told him that he should restore the pack- age to itsowner. Dick dropped his paper, revealing his face to the woman. For a moment she gave the man a disgusted look. Then with a curl of her lips she spoke: “It's you, is it! Well, you can just get up and let me sit down.
