u YOUNG man was walking back and

- Museum in Pittsburgh. Six days be-
fore, city editor had told him: mo job

something" For the first four days the boy,
stranger in Pittsburgh, had eaten - some.
But this was the sixth day.
That lean week the museum had been a
haunt of the hopeful eighteen-year old; since
childhood he had loved fine pictures But this
day he didn't feel that he could even make
it up the wide marble steps.
If he only had cigarette, the boy thought,
it might cut the hunger pangs. A prosperous
looking man swung past and walked up the
steps. He stopped to light cigarette, and
looked the building over with obvious curios-
ity. At the top of the flight he started in, then,
noticing the mo Smoking" sign, carelessy
tossed his cigarette away. 1t rolled down the
steps to Thomas Mitcf,ell's feet, the smoke
spiraling up temptingly.
Il started to reach for it, Mitchell remem-

butt it would be step down. In the theater,

action was the tag for down and-outer

character, an idea hit him. He hurried up the

The two parted. Tommy, red hair awry in
the breeze. lolled in the park With each puff
he inhaled triumph. His idea had worked
That idea had been born of his close study
of people - their behavior and their reactions.
From the behavior of Mr.. Prosperous as he
climbed the steps, Tommy had seen that he
was not familiar with museums And because
the man was smoker, and obviously gen.
teman, Tommy had been able to guess exactly
what his reactions would be toward helpful
acquaintance as he left the mo Smoking"
sign behind Tommy had worked hard for his
cigarette - but had saved his self-respect.
This observant boy, years later, was to win
an Academy Award because he knew how a
renegade doctor would react to emergency (in

to anything, Joe. I'll look after everything"
Not until Tommy's brother tried to put his
sympathy into words with, These things are
hard to take, Joe; I'm sorry" did the youth
move or speak. Then, trying to respond, he
said, "Oh, I'm all right" Only that.
