Washingtonian Home in a week."
She looked at him quizzically for a moment, as she had looked at him often since
he had gone to work for Feinheimer.
"

here anyway?"
"
I never claimed to be much of a waiter," said Jimmy, "but I didn't know I was so
rotten that a regular customer of the place couldn't tell what I was trying to do."
"Oh, go on," she cried; "I don't mean that. These other hash-slingers around here
look the part. Aside from that, about the only thing they know how to do is roll a
souse; but you're different."
"Yes," said Jimmy, "I am different. My abilities are limited. All I can do is wait on
table, while they have two accomplishments."
"Oh, you don't have to tell me," said the girl. "I wasn't rubbering. I was just sort
of interested in you."
"Thanks," said Jimmy.
She went on with her breakfast while Jimmy set up an adjoining table. Presently
when he came to fill her water-glass she looked up at him again.
