Pop^left the bus, as usual, several blocks before he reached the office and walked through the park with an agility that proved he was more than strong enough to be an active salesman. But his brow was farrowed. He'd have a terrible time finding any job anywhere at his age! He was already breaking under the rivages of the pace he'd set for himself--a pace to outstrip all the other salesmen, especially Brown, who was looked up to as the best despite his back-slapping technique. "Good morning, Pop," cam* a familiar voice. "Hello, Reckless!" Pop called to the youngster. "Lookit this dive bomber I Made it myself." Their talk about dive bombers stopped *vhen Reckless fixed his books under his arms and glanced around, "Say, Pop, here comes I- Dad!" When the boy's father came | up, he was greeted with, "Dad!

A T THE office the boss delivered a pep talk to his sales force. "We've been trying for the better part of two years to get the Hereford account. So far none of you has ever got inside his office. Brown, you were top man last month by a wide margin. And Pop, you've had m re experience than any five combined. I want you and Brown to see what you can do about the account. You know what' it will mean to the man who brings it in!" For an hour Pop had been patiently waiting, along with a dozen1' or more persons, to see Hereford. Suddenly the outer door opened and in barged 3^pwn with a package under his arm. Instead of taking his place in line and waiting, he strutted right up to the girl at the desk.

Smiling, Brown handed tor abo x of ucandy. "By the way, I thought if I might see Mr. Hereford for a minute?" "Go right in, Mr. Brown," she said, wrinkling her nose at him. Pop's chin was resting in his cupped hands as he wondered about his future and he didn't see Brown leaving rather briskly. Pop could already see Brown with the contract. Suddenly and to his surprise he heard his name called. Entering Hereford's office, Pop thought he'd never seen a more irritable-looking man. "Well!" Hereford barked. Then he recognized Pop. This was one time Pop thought it best not to take the initiative, but encouraged Hereford to talk.
