The Implacable Friend
Author of “The Young Barbarian,” “Santa Claws,” Etc.
We would all be lucky to have a friend implacable in Bruce Waring's manner. There is more than a fine “yarn” of Alaskan mining to this tale. It is also the story of the saving of a man from himself. Frederick Ticely, supersalesman, believed in making what you have to sell look as pretty as possible. Waring believed in making it look just what it was. Incidentally, if we were in the habit of putting a text to our stories, this one might well bear the ancient one about casting your bread upon the waters. Certainly Ticely's kindness to young Waring was repaid many times over.
