Then Jarvis would grin cheerfully and hustle those barrels in before I could get over blushing . If you do n't believe football has its advantages in after life you ought to watch a prize tackle waltzing a three-hundred-pound barrel through a car door . By day we ordered Jarvis about in this fashion , and made him earn his one-fifty with the rest of the red-shirted gang . But at six o'clock we dropped all that like a hot poker . Nights we were his adoring young friends again . We sat together in restaurants and said `` sir '' to him to his infinite disgust , and made him tell over and over again the stories of the big games and the grand doings of the old days . When his promotion came , three months later , and he went into a small job in the office , with a traveling job looming up in the offing , we held a celebration that set us back about half the price of a railroad ticket home .
