John’s Occupation.

“Yes, the old town has grown a lot during the past fifteen years. The skyscrapers, the new Union station, the Carnegie library and the big hotel make it look like a real metropolis. And so Billy Westcott is prosecuting attorney. Well, well! I’m glad to hear that he’s getting on. I suppose he’ll be running for mayor next What ever became pf his brother John?” “John’s still living here. He’s down at the new Center street bridge watching. the tugs go up and down the river.” “Why is he doing that?” “Because he can afford to. His wife has a job in the county recorder’s office.”
