The tall young man who had stood beside Billy Langely in the office of the Carrigan Construction Company had followed him out and stood at his elbow in the street, apparently with the sole purpose of delivering this decidedly personal comment. Billy had just been refused the place of timekeeper, for which he had applied as a vacation job. He had wanted the place very much. He had made up his mind to earn money this summer, and he knew that the timekeeper at Carrigan's re- ceived twenty dollars a week for what he understood was only very moderate exertion. Now this sudden, sharp criticism seemed like an insult. Billy flared into anger. NVell, say-! he began. Don't get mad, now, interrupted the other, his bright. brown eyes holding Billy's steadily. You thought you could get that job when you were in there. didn't you? Billy wanted to answer sharply and escape, but the very unusualness of the attack held himg so he answered grudgingly: Uf course I thought I could get it, VVhy? Billy found himself at a loss for an answer. You told Andy jaynes, the manager, that you'd had no experience, didn't you? Yes, but- You didn't like the idea of getting to the gate at seven-thirty in the morning, did you P I didn't say any such- UNO. you only looked it. You were surprised that you would have to stay until six at night, weren't you? Billy stopped trying to answer. He was angry, but as he felt the blood rise slowly in a hot wave over his cheeks and neck he found it hard to continue looking resentfully into the brown eyes. A-nd you resented the idea that the timekeeper had to help in the booking room when he was off gate, didn't you? Billy backed against the fence. I-Ie wanted to shout aloud a denial of these charges, but he could not say a word. He knew that every 0116 of them was true. Hjaynes knew how you felt, asserted his unpleasant new acquaintance. Both he and I saw you were trying to cheat him. GENERVAL LITERARY SECTION I 13 l
