Banneker shook his head. "Your uncle left it."
"It isn't a habit of his," replied the other.
"Give it to him for me, will you?"
"Certainly. Any message?"
The newcomer grinned. "I see," he said. "He'll be bored when he gets this back. He isn't a bad old bird, but he don't savvy some things. So you turned him down, did you?"

"I won't."
"My name's Herbert Cressey." He handed the agent a card. "Philadelphia is my home, but my

"What store do you

"Store?" Cressey did not smile. "I don't buy 'em at a store. I have 'em made by a tailor. Mertoun, 505 Fifth Avenue."
"Would he make me a suit?"
"Why, yes. I'll give you a card to him and you go in there when you're in New York and pick out what you want."
