Torchy, Private Sec.

by Sewell Ford ...

THE UP CALL FOR TORCHY Well, it’s come! Uh-huh! And sudden, too, like I knew it would, if it came at all. No climbin’ the ladder for me, not while they run express elevators. And, believe me, when the gate opened, I was right there with my foot out. It was like this: One mornin’ I’m in my old place behind the brass rail, at the jump-end of the buzzer. I’m everybody’s slave in general, and Piddie’s ... Read more

Torchy and Vee

by Sewell Ford ...

THE QUICK SHUNT FOR PUFFY I must say I didn’t get much excited at first over this Marion Gray tragedy. You see, I’d just blown in from Cleveland, where I’d been shunted by the Ordnance Department to report on a new motor kitchen. And after spendin’ ten days soppin’ up information about a machine that was a cross between a road roller and an owl lunch wagon, and fillin’ my system with army stews ... Read more

Torchy as a Pa

VEE TIES SOMETHING LOOSE I forget just what it was Vee was rummagin’ for in the drawer of her writin’ desk. Might have been last month’s milk bill, or a stray hair net, or the plans and specifications for buildin’ a spiced layer cake with only two eggs. Anyway, right in the middle of the hunt she cuts loose with the staccato stuff, indicatin’ surprise, remorse, sudden grief and Other emotions. “Eh ... Read more

Shorty McCabe

by Sewell Ford ...

Excuse me, mister man, but ain’t you—Hello, yourself! Blamed if I didn’t think there was somethin’ kind of natural about the looks, as you come pikin’ by. How’re they runnin’, eh? Well say, I ain’t seen you since we used to hit up the grammar school together. You’ve seen me, eh? Oh, sure! I’d forgot. That was when you showed up at the old Athletic club the night I got the belt away from the Kid. ... Read more

Funny, ain’t it, how most everyone’ll prick up their ears at that name? And it don’t mean so much money as John D.’s or Morgan’s does, either. But what them two and Harriman don’t own is divided up among Fletcher Dawes and a few others. Maybe it’s because Dawes is such a free spender that he’s better advertised. Anyway, when you say Fletcher Dawes you think of a red-faced gent with a fistful of ... Read more
