CUTWITTED WITS ivlichaelangelo Ahduzza was an exfraordinarily clever person-aT leasT in his own opinion. l-le placed his books, of which he had many, upside clown in The bookcase so ThaT his grandmoTher couldn'T ascerfain whaT he read. All his rela- Tives, excepT The one menTioned above, had died and lefT him a considerable forTune ThaT was The resulT of many years of hard work and Toil. A very forTunaTe occurrence for Ahduzza -very forTunaTe indeed. l-le lived sumpTuously and grandly in an exclusive suburb of New York wiTh no hindrance, maTrimonial or oTherwise, To his carefully laid plans for The building of an exTensive library. Ah, yes, his libraryl The vol- umes were as varied as The bookplaTes ThaT adorned Their covers. On a morning laTe in June, we mighT have discerned Ahduzza adorning his corpulenT and disproporTioned body wiTh The mosT expensive summer cloThes. l-lis profound admiraTion for any- Thing BriTish had resulTed in The employing of BarTon as his valeT, or, as Ahduzza was bound To call him lhe had never Taken Frenchl, his 'varleT'. BarTon was ,inclusTriously cleaning his masTer's black and whiTe sporT shoes, a Task which he would gladly have given To anyone who would have been insane enough To wish iT, when Ahduzza suddenly asked him if-old, Mrs. Ahduzza was aT home. lvlrs. l-l'Ahduzza, sir? No, sir. She wenT h'ouT To 'er bridge club. Bridge club! Ahduzza was annoyed noT only by BarTon's sTaTemenT buT also by his yellow and orange Tie: I ThoughT she wenT There yesTer- day. lv She did, sir, buT-h'l beg your pardon, sir - Barfon had placed The finished shoes on Ahduzza's whiTe knickers, provoking his masTer's wraTh considerably. Go on, you idioT. Well, confidenTially, sir, she Told me ThaT she 'ad losT Two dollars h'and desired To reTrieve Them, wiTh h'inTeresT, This h'afTernoon. May h'l brush you h'oTf, sir? Ahduzza had finished dressing and was exam- ining himself minuTely in The greaT mirror. No. l-laven'T goT Time. When Mrs. Ahduzza reTurns, Tell her l'm ouT wiTh Adolphus Enge. Taking The cane and felT haT from BarTon, he walked ouT of The room and down The wide sfaircase, pausing' only To rearrange The silk handkerchief up his sleeve. l-le sTrode ouT of The house and down The paThway To The sidewalk, Then paused as if he had forgoTTen someThing. and finally reTraced his sTeps. Re-enTering The house, he hurried To The library, and, Taking ouT a volume of PlaTo, he reached his shorT, faT hand behind The books and drew ouT a square shaped boTTle, which he uncorked wiTh a loud 'pop'. Smacking his lips, he Took a long and deep draughT, and Then hurriedly replaced The flask. Walking a liTTle more iaunTily, he hasTened To The railroad sTaTion, The pre-arranged meeT- ing place wiTh his life-long friend and compan- ion, Adolphus Enge. TogeTher They had made many Trips To New York's old book disTricT. IT was one of These Trips ThaT was arranged for This parTicular day. Enge was impaTienTly awaiTing Ahduzza's ar- rival, and had quiTe exhausfed his energy in pounding againsT The sloT machines in The hope ThaT some loose merchandise, or, beTTer yeT, change, would accidenTally Tall from The open- ing. When he sighTed Ahduzza, he rushed over To him exciTedly. Have you goT your soap eraser? was his greeTing. Of course. Ahduzza liT a cork-Tipped Benson and l-ledges. The Train soon came, and boTh men rushed in --To procure a seaT. The ride was unevenTful. They changed aT Penn STaTion To The subway. and alighTed aT Union Square, only To be cha-
