Mr. Barron, the rich banker in Broad street, was seated at his desk in his private office one day when the door was opened by the porter, who said: There's a newsboy out here who says he must see you, sir. Go and tell him to let you know what he wants. If it's a situation, tell him we have none vacant. The porter went back to the outer office. In a minute or two the door opened again and the newsboy entered and closed the door behind him. The banker recognized him as the boy who had brought him the afternoon papers daily for a year back. The bouncer told me to go away, sir, the boy said, doffing his hat as he spoke, but I knew my business better than he does. There's a couple of men putting up a big job on your bank, and I knew if I didn't tell you about it they'd scoop you for a big pile. The banker wheeled his chair around so as to face the boy, and laid his gold glasses on the desk.
