"Mawruss," he said, "this is certainly something which I didn't expect at all, and all I could say is that I got to tell you you would never be sorry for it. Just a few minutes since in Hammersmith's I was telling Sol I got a partner which it is a credit and an honor for a feller to know he could always trust such a partner to do what is right and square and also, Mawruss, I----Miss Cohen," he broke off suddenly, "you should draw right away another check in my personal book for a hundred dollars." "To whose order?" Miss Cohen asked. Abe cleared his throat and blinked away a slight moisture before replying. "Make it to the order of Abraham P. Perlmutter," he said, "and we will deposit it in a savings bank, Mawruss, and when he comes twenty-one years old, Mawruss, we will draw it out with anything else what you put in there for him, Mawruss, and we will deposit it in our own bank to the credit of _Potash, Perlmutter & Son_." Sol Klinger's face spread into an amiable grin. "You could put me down ten dollars on that savings bank account, too, boys," he said as he reached for his hat. "I've got to be going now." "Don't forget you should tell Klein it's a boy," Morris called to him. "I wouldn't forget," Sol replied. "Klein'll be glad to hear it. You know, Mawruss, Klein ain't such a grouch as most people think he is. In fact, taking him all around, Klein is a pretty decent feller." As he turned to leave, his eye met Abe's, and both of them smiled guiltily. "After all, Abe," Sol concluded, "it ain't what partners says about each other, Abe, but how they _acts_ which counts. Ain't it?" Abe nodded emphatically. "An old saying but a true one," Morris declared. "Actions talk louder as words." THE END.
