ONE GOOD TURN DESERVES ANOTHER.
* May I offer you a stick of gum !’ asked the travelling man in the skull cap, by way of introducing himself to the passenger in the seat directly in front of him. The other man turned around, looked at the proffered slab, and shook his head. • I—l beg your pardon,* he said. • I manufacture that gum, I never chew it. But if you will join me, I will open this box of candy I bought just before I got on the train.’
The travelling man looked on the label on the box and shuddered.
• We made that candy,’ he remarked, shrugging his shoulders. * I never touch it.’
Subsequently they became better acquainted over a small bottle, of whose contents they possessed none of the secrets if manufacture.
