Each kept her nightie at the other girl's house and each carried in a locket a four-leaf clover presented by one to whom she had bared her soul. Angie got Wilbur and Lib drew Otis. Wilbur was a hustler but lacked the terminal facilities to interest capital. Otis bulled his way into the strongholds of finance and copped the mazuma. After a lapse of years, Angie went to visit Lib. They had some talk, Angie mourned her lot and called Wilbur a false alarm. Lib told Angie to back up, that she ought to be thankful she had a husband's love and fine children. She said that she, wife of a successful businessman, occupied a niche in the Hall of Fame right next to the sister of Jesse James. Having arrived at this cordial understanding, they chirked up and paid a lot of attention to a well-preserved bachelor who dropped in to get warm.
