In one of the countless Honeycombs of an Office Building sat a General Manager. The Prosperous Piute should have been content with his lot, but he was not. He had a Past. He had come from a Tank Town via the Shorthand College. Elmer had an aching desire to be a Regular fellow. He wanted membership in a Club. He observed that the one chance for a Gink of the Floozey Species was to keep on doing the Correct Thing. But it was a hard job. He took an apartment in a highly refrigerated hotel, peopled by X-Ray Notables, so-called because they could look through Mr. Floozey at something beyond. After twenty years of hard work he had acquired the poise that would qualify him to sit among the Hoopstares. He had a nodding acquaintance with at least eight Touch-Me-Nots whose undergarments were supposed to be Royal Purple, and was cheerfully figuring progress among the Elite when a Boyhood Friend, named Orlando, blew in. Mr. Floozey thought he was a Bounder, but did not like to pass up old and tried friends, so it came about that Orlando, who was in the Railway Supply Business, worked his drag on the Board of Governors and asked them to admit Mr. Floozey because he was so correct. Inasmuch as Orlando was the life of the cardroom, the Governors stretched a point and admitted the Unknown. Moral: A cultivated Gentleman may get Anywhere if he knows the right kind of a Roughneck.
