My size and ray skill as a wrestler, that shortly insured for me the reinect of the boys, helped me to win the esteem of the master. I learned my lessons and kept out of miseblef.

Tbe little _man had one big passion—that for get- ting and saving. The ancient thrift of his race had pinched him small and narrow as a foot is stunted by a tight shoe. His mind was a bit out of rem ister, se we say in the printing bus) ness. His vocabulary was rich and vivid and stimulating., .

When he had said a thing that met his own approval Sol Rollin would cackle most cheerfully and then crack a knuckle by twisting a huger.' His laugb was mostly out of register also. It had a sad lack of relevancy. He . laughed on principle rather than provo- calor!. Some sort of secret comedy of which the world knew nothing was passing in bis mind.
