wore a high silk hat and bore all the
outward attributes of swelldom
Was you coming to look at my hits
bands collection she asked It Is a
flne lot We arc very proud of them
Maybe the gentleman might like to
buy something Sam doesnt ever sell
but If you give me enough money 1
am sure he would not care if I Bold
something to the gentleman
Perhaps well buy said Makury
warily He was peering closely into
every nook and corner of the room his
attention directed apparently towards
the discovery of some particular speci-
men
This did not escape Becky rWas
you looking for something special
No no he hastened to assure her
adding immediately Does your hus-
band keep all his collection in this
room Have you something else
No said Becky
Maybe there is another bowl or so
If there is tell Sam well give him ten
dollars profit if he will bring it back
to the store I promised him that and
1 want to keep my promise
I am sorry theres nothing here you
want said Becky
So am I said Makury
Their dual sorrow was genuine
Makurys share of it arose from the
fast that he had learned that the brass
ibowl bought by Tubsky was in all
probability a piece of considerable
value The description oi it litted a
bowl for which the strange gentleman
had been looking To add to that sor-
row Mr Makury learned in course of
conversation that his visitor was the
purchasing agent for an art museum
and had entered upon his quest with a
pocketful of cash
If you will remember he reminded
Makury one of my young assistants
called upon you He did not recognize
the bowl lie said he ofteled you ten
dollars and then you asked for twenty
His description was so inaccurate that
I failed to recognize the bowl at the
time Since then facts have come to
light accounting for the presence ot
that particular bowl in the city which
impel me to think it is the article we
are seeking
Straightway they went to Sams
shop and found that gentleman gazing
abstractedly out of a rear window
Greeting gents said he listlessly
Can I show you something in a new
overcoat or a nice new hat or some
flne woolen pants
No said Makury Say Sam
Wheres the bowl you bought of me
I keep it in the safe Yonkof
Disheartening token for the metal
dealer If Sam kept the bowl in the
safe he had doubtless learned its mon-
etary value Visions of diminished pro-
fits swam before Makurys eyes
I suppose next youll be keeping
your overcoats in the safe Small unc-
tion in the jest
Tenderly Sam brought forth his
prize and held it out for their inspec-
tion
The stranger examined it closely It
is the one said he at last
Say Sam said Makury promptly
I promised you ten dollars profit for
that bowl and Im here to keep my
promise Give It back to me
Ten dollars said Tubsky is
money A bowl is a bowl You keep
your ten dollars and I keep my bowl
You couldnt have that bowl M you
gave me two hundred
How about three hundred asked
the stranger
Three hundred dollars Tubsky
blinked and swallowed hard Three
hundred dollars Whew A half
years profit Enough to buy Becky
no They would give him the three
hundred dollars but they would take-
away the beautiful bowl No That
settled It
I have no hesitation In telling you
said the art gentleman that your bowl
is a piece of recognized value We
have been looking all over for it One
of our young men saw it and offered
Makury ten dollars for it
You mean forty said Sam
No ten Makury held out for
twenty Neither of them appreciated
its true worth 1 congratulate you on
your good taste and wisdom Suppose
we say three hundred and twentyfive
No said Tubsky snappishly
Fifty
No
Seventyfive
No no no A shriek almost
Tubsky is fighting a mental Becky who
is endeavoring to stab him with a dia-
mond dagger
Thats all 1 can offer
Im sorry gents It is not the
money It is a very beautiful bowl I
would not be glad to see it go
But Mr Tubsky the bowl will not
be taken from you It goes to the mu-
seum 1 shall give you a permit to see
it every day if you wish Whats
more I promise to place a card upon
it with the words From the private
collection ol Mr Samuel Tubsky
Sam gulped And will you he
asked desperately put it in a black
case on ablack stand with red velvet
all around Remember black and red
velvet Will you do that
I promise
What was your last bid
Three hundred said Makury with-
out a tremor
Its yours said Sam Only take
it away lrom me quick Ill turn my
head around and you can take it away
while 1 am not looking This was his
sop to his artistic conscience
It was a new Tubsky who left his
store that evening A goodly portion
of his best stock went with him A new
frock coat encircled his shoulders a
shining top hat perched loftily upon
his head crisp new gloves caressed his
hands No shabbiness about him until
you came to his shoes an omission
readily explained by the fact that the
film ot Tubsky did not deal in shoes
Down East Broadway he marched
proudly coming at last with stately
tread to the door of his humble home
A sound ot sobbing greeted him as
he threw open the door In the dim
halflight ho made out the figure of
Becky prostrate with a towel over her
face
Oh Sam Hannah and Mortie has
lost everything They are ruined Han-
nah has been hero and told me The
diamonds are in the hockshop and the
sheriff Is in the flat ItB all on account
of Silver Mary Silver Mary did some-
thing awful she slumped Mortie says
and broke him It was a skin mine
And Sam this with one last bys
terlcal shriek weve lost our hundred
dollars If only
If only what Becky
