It was upon Friday, the twenty-seventh of August a date forever memorable in the history of the world that I went down to the office of my paper and asked for three days' leave of absence from Mr. McArdle, who still presided over our news department.

He went up to the Nineteenth, turned Republican, and was lookin' for an Albany job the last I heard of him. Now, nobody ever saw me puttin' on any style.
