Tobias. “Send for the police. Dis- charge me. I’m not even worthy to touch a Flubb Flower Pot. I spent the money.” “What did you buy?” listlessly in- quired Mr. Flubb, affectionately fingering a small bottle labeled “iodine.” “I bought a Chippendale cabinet, once used by King Leopold—a Clois-on-nay vase, and a lacquered Chinese cabinet,” sobbed Tobias. “What?” roared Mr. Flubb. “Show me this stuff!” Tobias switched on the light be- fore the door labeled: ‘Traffic Department.” Mr. Flubb, breath- ing heavily, peered in. For almost three minutes he gazed, silent and trembling slightly. “Tl call up the police myself,” said Tobias, reaching for the tcle- phone. “You'll call up your wife and tell her to mect us at my house for din- ner,” shouted Mr. Flubb. ‘Tobias, you're a gem, a priceless adjunct to the company, a resourceful, reliable worker. A diplomat. You've done the greatest thing in your long career as a Flubb booster. ’Phone my chauffeur and tell him to come right up and put these things in my car. Get your hat and coat—have a Ten minutes later a sleck, purring limousine darted uptown. On the rear seat, in a cloud of pure Havana smoke, lolled Mr. Flubb and Tobias. In front of them rested the cabinets and vase. Tobias spoke softly. “Mr. Flubb, I wasn’t true to your new wall motto. And yet you're not angry with me. I don’t understand.” “Tobias,” said Mr. Flubb, affec- tionately putting his arm around the third assistant traffic manager’s shoulder. “My wife is a good woman, a sweet soul, and a loyal helpmate. But, Tobias, like all women, she can make it pretty uncomfortable for a man at times, particularly if I forget something which is important. Then life is unbearable at home for weeks. To-day, my boy, is October 15, 1925—" “But I can’t sce what that has to do with it,” interrupted Tobias respectfully. “Simply this,” answered the flower pot king. ‘Mrs. Flubb and I were married October 15, 1905. To-day is our twentieth wedding anniver- sary. The stores closed at five o'clock. At five-fifteen I suddenly remembered it was our anniversary, but it was too late to buy anything. To have gone home empty handed to-night of all nights, would have meant what I shudder to think of. Then, Tobias, you saved the situa- tion for me. An employee like you makes business worth while, a chap of your intelligence faces a great future—” “And a Mission Faithfully Ful- filled Makes the Angels Sing,” mischievously interrupted Tobias as the limousine drew up before the Flubb mansion. pa edl im ny, eT = Brown—Suppose you didn’t run across a fellow named Jenkins in your travels?
