Even Earl Derr Biggers told terrible puns

          After breakfast in the morning he recalled that and old college friend named Spike Bristol was reported in the class histories as living now in Pasadena. The telephone directory furnished Bristol's address, and Eden set out to find him. His friend turned out to be one of the more decorative features of a bond office.
          "Bond salesman, eh?" said Eden, when the greetings were over.
          "Yes - it was either that or real estate," replied Bristol. "I was undecided for some time. Finally I picked this."
          "Of course," laughed Eden. "As any class history proves, gentlemen prefer bonds."
