U6 cgffzong lf chi.-:arf by ROBERT L. SCHWEITZER, '46 What's your name? It was the voice of the Employment Manager at the Condon Steel mill. Adrian de Antile, the Third . The young- ster's high-pitched voice echoed through the room. He added, I would like a tough job. The Employment Manager squinted at him through half-shut eyes. What's your draft status? I'm 4-P , and he bent his head as a hot flush of shame crossed his cheeks. Well, I need a time-clerk, the Employ- ment Manager suggested. Think you can handle that? I could, but I won't, the youngster re- torted. I said I want a tough job. All my friends have been out fighting a warg a couple have been killedg several others have been wounded and you think I'm going to take a job here clerking? I said I want a job that's tough-real tough, so I'll ache all over. O. K., then. You'll have to take a physical, but it's a snap and if you do pass it, you'll get a job that you'll wish you didn't have. I'll give you one day and lay you odds that you don't come back. I haven't any money, but if you'll trust me, I'll take the bet. At seven the following morning, he was standing in the center of the shop. All around him were pits, in which I5-foot in- clines ran up to concrete platforms, sur- mounted by huge furnaces. Finally he found the furnace to which he was assigned and reported to Big Pete Duncan, his boss. Big Pete looked down upon him and blinked. Whaddaya want, kid? he asked. Adrian didn't bat an eye. I was told to come here and report for work. Big Pete stood back aghast and viewed Adrian with alarm. Don't tell me! he ex- claimed. What's your name, lad? Adrian gave it and then asked: What's wrong? ,I'd like to get to work. You're kind of fresh for a guy with a monicker like that. Suppose I give you a clout in the face? You do and I'll let you have it with the back of a shovel. But anyway, you'd hold up production that way, and I want to get going. Big Pete grinned: he couldn't help it. Grab that wheelbarrow down there and start rolling coal up this ramp. Lots of it. I'll give you five to one you'll hand in your time card before noon. 'iEven money? said Adrian. I already have a bet with the Employment Manager. I haven't got anything to put up, though, so you'll have to trust me. Adrian put everything he had behind his straining muscles, the wheel-barrow's move- ment followedi the usual pattern, starting with a fast roll at the foot of the ramp, it began to lose momentum towards the mid- dle, wobbled to a near stop and then by some sheer power of more spirit than muscle behind it, began to climb again and reached the platform at Duncan's feet, where each trip it seemed to dump over by itself. Pete laughed each time to himselfg each time the barrow halted, each time it dumped. When the noon whistle blew, he pulled a five from his pocket. Well, kid, you won he said. I'll make it ten to five you don't last the afternoon. Adrian drew a long breath. Even money he gasped. Between you and the Employ- ment Manager, I'm going to earn a whole War Bond today! Pete was scowling as he dug into the coal pile before him at the furnace. The thought of losing a ten to a little squirt with the name of Adrian de Antile, the Third, preyed fP1ease turn to page 291
