Henry was fired. Without warning or explanation he was given a couple of weeks' pay and was bounced out on his ear. My first reaction when Betty told me about it was one of exuberance, a fiendish desire to rush over there and gloat, to sneer: '1 told you so! Why don't you call up- your friend. Jay, wise guy?" But this feeling passed immediately. Curiously it was followed by one of pity. The more I thought about it the deeper became my sympathy. What greater humiliation, I thought, could a man endure than this that confronted Henry Spafford? NEXT .DAY I called Hal Wheaion f.*ick?tand asked him to have Iuiich with me.
