The mean one is about a Philadelphia industrialist who, on one ot his
frequent business trips to New York, made the acquaintance ot a young
lady whose good looks were only surpassed by her am iability. Despite the
fact that he was married, the tycoon began to see a lot of the girl, and it
wasn't long before he had set her up in a Madison avenue apartment and
was forking over $300 a week to cover expenses.

eyes grew even rounder.
Old Silas grinned and swal

dug down into his pocket and

Jackie carefully placed the half-
dollar in a pocket of his tattered
overalls, pulled his straw hat well
over his ruddy face, puckered up
his lips and began to whistle. He
whistled all that afternoon and
was still whistling when he came
in from the lower lot for supper.
Once upstairs, Jackie carefully
took off his shirt and then felt in
the pocket of his overalls for the
half dollar. He'd better sleep with
it under his pillow, he reasoned,
