A WOMAN, who wanted to go up
IA reached an elevator just as one
youngster on the outside was Dragging
: to the other, inside the cage:
"You bet I got it! Had my eye on
that Job for q week-mesSenger for Q
broker who handles stocks and bonds
All you gotta do is sleuth around for
private tips and make more money than
the boss pays you. Why don't you
grab at somethin' big, Jimmie, insteader
haulin' this thing up an DOWN."
Because haven't got your brains
that's why"
Having voiced his inferior complex
the boy started the lift and took II
carefully to the upper floors, with many
passengers getting on and of. When
the woman was making the down trip
there was no one aboard but herself
so she sized up the slim length Of uni
formed figure and the lines Of face
anemic from indoor occupation at "a
period when adolescence calls for life
in the open. Having reached base. she
paused to dispense wisdom:
"Say, son, why don't you give your
ability a chance before finding fault
with your brains? II you don't like
this Job, give 1t up and hunt something
that suits you better. Staying on hurts
you and deprives some natural-born
elevator chap of a good little BERTH"
well, you needn't think want to
stay, lady, but a, fellA's got to hold on
to his grub. I been wishin' could
get out to cousin in Wyoming who
makes five times my wages with meals
and sleepin' thrown in. besides learnin'
how to run sheep ranch. That's a
JOB would suit me fine, only, I'll never
get the money to take me there"
well, If I felt that way, / wouldn't
wait for the money. I'd work my way.
I'd tramp and go hungry and sleep out
nights, but I'd get to where wanted
to CO. If I was a boy like you, with
