Chapter I. THE OLD THIEF
“I USED to fight Indians,” the old gentleman said. “I used to eat their ears. I would stew their ears, then
eat them with salt.”

He stopped and looked at the man across the desk while he tried to think of something that would
express his feelings.

“But I wouldn't feed your ears to my dog!” he finished.

The young man said, “Hah, hah!” Then he waved at a chair. “Go sit down, pop. Go sit over there and
have a good cuss.”

“I wasn't trying to amuse you,” said the old gentleman.

“I wasn't amused,” said the young man. “You can rest assured of that.”

The old gentleman spat. You could tell from the look of him that he had come from a hard, bleak desert
country, and he spat the way he would spit to kill a bug on the sun-baked earth.

“I'm old Too-Too Thomas,” he said. “And to think I would sink to taking sass off a clerk in a
Washington bureau.”

“I'm not sassing you, old-timer,” said the young man back of the desk. “I'm just asking you kindly, please
go over there and sit down. Cuss, chew tobacco, spit on the floor, but just leave me alone.”
“I want to see the main guy.”

“No.”
