lt wouldn't look bad on the marble mantel l'm going to have. lt would be a precious gem, was the response. He wondered how much he could ask for it without losing a good cus- tomer. This pompous fellow would return to the store for more articles, pro- vided Mr. Grannit's prices were not high as to turn him to some cheaper place. Mr. Grannit decided to work slowly, and a steady income for even a year might result. As I was able to buy it cheap, and because you promise to become a steady customer, I will give you a bargain and ask only Eve thousandff Five thousand dollars for an old, funny-looking dish? I can buy a whole houseful of new ones. No doubt, but let me explain the value of the Ming vase. Then Mr. Grannit told the history of China and the Ming dynasty, and the connection of the Ming vase. He knew his business and selected his words well. George Blake leaned weakly against the counter, took off his hat and fanned his face with it. Gosh, I didn't know any man knew that much! I guess it will make a whale of a hit with the girl. Wrap it up, and I'll take it along. I can have it packed and delivered, Mr. Blake. I'll just pack it along myself, Blake said, pulling a roll of bills from his pocket. Buy a thing, pay for it, and take it along, that's me. Do you realize the value of the vase, sir? It would be terrible if it were broken-not only a loss to you, but a pity for the vase itself. I'm paying for it, so wrap it up. If you are doubtful about those bills, send them to some bank. My cashier is an expert in such matters, he answered wrapping the vase slowly until he received a flash from the cashier's desk that the bills were genuine. Then he smiled and handed the vase to Mr. Blake. Three days later Mr. Blake returned to the antique shopg Grannit hur- ried forward to greet him. Well, here I am back again. You certainly put me in a fix by selling me that vase. I, should have known better than to mix in things I don't know much about. ' I don't understand you, sir, but I do know that the vase is genuine, said Mr. Grannit in a worried tone. 'I'm not kicking about that, the vase is too good. It made a hit with my girl. 'Put that thing in the library? I should say not! I'll use that in the drawing room,' says my girl. So as the mantel has two ends, it's two vases it must have, and it's up to you to get me another to match the first. Thomas Grannit gas ed. One cannot ick u such thin s ever da . vb Those vases are very rare. ' It's your job to find such things, isn't it? Blake demanded. Certainly, replied Mr. Grannit. All right then, get me that vase,' 'said the other sharply, taking out a fat roll of bills. VVhen my girl wants a thing, she gets it. Mr. Grannit thought for a moment. He could take the offer and adver- tise in the papers. He Could charge a good price and make a nice pile of coin. ' 5 tcontinued on page 41
