| 520 | _a"Shorty McCabe on the Job" by Sewell Ford is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows the character Professor Shorty McCabe as he navigates a series of humorous yet engaging adventures tied to his role as an executor of a will filled with unconventional tasks. With a focus on kindness and reparations, the story explores the dynamics of human relationships and the complexities of past grievances through McCabe's interactions with other characters. The opening of the novel introduces us to Shorty McCabe, who is busy training in a boxing gym when he is interrupted by a visitor, J. Bayard Steele. Steele seeks McCabe's advice regarding a meeting with a lawyer concerning the estate of the late Pyramid Gordon. The two have an exchange that reveals Steele’s dubious character and sets the stage for their joint mission: to carry out acts of kindness financed by Gordon's will, which ironically connects them to the people harmed during Gordon's life. This sets up a plot that intertwines themes of justice, redemption, and comedy, while providing a glimpse into both McCabe's unwavering demeanor and the eccentricity of Steele.
