"I shouldn't be surprised. His face didn't show it, but he looked pretty seedy. How many jobs did you get to-day?"
"None," answered Rush rather dolefully.
"Why not?"
"They didn't want us, Bob; that is, not without a recommendation from our last employer."
"Meaning the Honorable Mr. Watski Kalinski?"
"Exactly," answered Rush dryly.
"I should enjoy reading the recommendation that Watski would give us. It wouldn't be worth much, would it, now?"
"I guess not," agreed Steve thoughtfully. "Is Ignatz coming in this evening?"
"He said he might, though he had to go down town on business, but he wouldn't say what."
