"You're a brute, Abram Pantin, and I wish I'd never seen you!" Mr. Pantin suppressed the reply that the wish was mutual. Instead, he picked up the leather button which flew on the floor when Mrs.
Tell citizeness Evrard to bring me some hot coffee in an hour's time.... You can go and fetch me the Moniteur now, and take back these proofs to citizen Dufour. You will find him at the 'Cordeliers, or else at the printing works.... Come back at nine o'clock. ... I am tired now... too tired to tell you where to find the house which is off the Chemin de Pantin. Presently will do...."
"She is impossible, and what you ask is impossible," Mrs. Pantin declared firmly. "It's not often that I ask a favor of you, Prissy." His tone was conciliatory. Mrs. Pantin met him half way and her voice was softer as she answered: "I appreciate that, Abram, but there are a few of us who must keep up the bars against such persons.

Abram Pantin, if he wants it, will be this bank's next president." Wentz looked his amazement.

As he eyed the total his mouth puckered in a whistle which changed gradually to a grin of satisfaction. "You can't keep a squirrel down in a timbered country," Mr. Pantin chuckled aloud, ambiguously.

It was an interesting case of atavism. There was little doubt but that Mr.
