We’ve been pals for forty years.” “Never quarrelled?’’ he was asked. “Never onee,” he said. “Has ho ever tried to borrow off you?” somebody asked with a wink. “Never!” said the ancient, “here he is, gentlemen!”—and he pulled out an old briar pipe!

He nodded. “There’s other toasted brands,” he said, “Riverhead Gold, Cavendish, and Na.vy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog)—all prime, and all harmless.
