But Id learned one thing - you
couldn't fire a guy named Smith
without getting the boss down on

and dialed it for Angus Smiths
office.

the kid. Look, Smith," l said. Call

him.
And that was the way it stood.
The kid didn't look at all happy

But he didn't faint again, and
knew was right. In fact. after ten
days he seemed so much healthier
and stronger that patted myself on
the shoulder.

walked in, looked over the shop, saw
the kid at the desk - and swung
toward me as if I'd called him a

stand on his feet all day. I watched
him, expecting him to cave in any
minute.
Only he didn't. Maybe that extra
ten days rest at the desk was all he'd
needed, because he worked all week
and didn't look worse than anybody
else. 1t surprised me, but it made me
feel lot easier, too. After time,
when saw how happy he was, doing
his job and sort of excited, started
to grin.
Angus Smith walked in during a
lunch hour when the kid was out.
He asked, "How's he holding up,
