He had hardly seated himself comfortably at his desk, however, when Abe burst into the room. "That's the way it goes, Mawruss," he cried. "Half the time we sit and schmooes in the showroom and we don't know what goes on in our cutting room at all." "What's the matter now?" Morris asked. "Harkavy has quit us again," Abe replied. "Quit us!" Morris exclaimed. "What for?" "Nothing.
When Morris, in company with his partner, entered the showroom at eight o'clock the following morning he had already enumerated to Abe the events of the preceding evening, not omitting his encounter with Harkavy. "I bet yer he would be waiting for us, Mawruss," Abe said; "and if I ain't mistaken here he is now."
Abe and Morris followed Pincus and the head cutter as they supported the half-conscious Harkavy into the firm's office. Ten minutes later the old man was restored to consciousness. "Wo ist er?" he murmured. "Mein kind!" "It's all right," the doctor replied, and then he turned to the office. "Come out here, you, and talk to the old man."
Among those who laid the foundations for the study of this almost unexplored department of Jewish history, the settlement of Jews in Russia and their vicissitudes during the dark ages, the most prominent are perhaps Isaac Bär Levinsohn, Abraham Harkavy, and Simon Dubnow. There is much to be said of each of these as writers, scholars, and men. Here they concern us as Russo-Jewish historians.
All the time he works for us he acts so dumm like a ten-year-old child; and so soon as we fire him, Mawruss, he goes to work by Kleiman & Elenbogen and turns out a couple of styles, which the least them highwaymen makes out of 'em is five thousand dollars." "How should I know what Harkavy could do with Kleiman & Elenbogen, Abe?" Morris cried. "You are the prophet of this here concern, Abe.
"Let's give the feller a show anyhow, Abe," he rejoined; "and if he don't soon make good we could quick fire him, y 'understand." "That's what you said about that feller Harkavy, which we give him a job in our cutting room, Mawruss.
He bowed to the Rav and with a final "Sholom alaicham!" passed downstairs to the street. As he waited at the corner for a west-bound car he thought he discerned a familiar figure in the shadow of the house he had just quitted. He walked slowly up the block and Harkavy stole out of the basement area and slunk hurriedly past him. "Harkavy!"
"Schon gut," Morris declared; "then you wouldn't got to go at all, because we ourselves would give you thirty." "I moost go," Harkavy said, shaking his head; "my fare is paid." "Pay 'em back the fare," Morris insisted "we would see you wouldn't lose it." Again Harkavy shook his head. "I got a bonus too," he declared "a thousand rubles." "What are you talking about, rubles?"
His face was white and drawn and his shoes and trousers were covered with mud as though he had walked the streets all night. "I am keeping my word anyhow," he said; "but I am only coming to tell you I got to go to Chicago." "Why must you got to go?" Abe insisted. "Well, there's certain reasons, Mr. Potash," Harkavy replied. "There's certain rea "
"Well, certainly it don't do no harm that Kovalenko understands a little English," Morris commented. "Sure not," Abe agreed satirically, "because the quicker he learns English, Mawruss, the quicker he would copy our styles and find a job with a competitor. Take this here Harkavy, for instance.
