"Trying  to  help  us  out,  are  you?"  he  said  with  a  smile,  and
then  added  when  I  predicated  its  worthlessness :  "Well,  it's
not  such  an  easy  thing  to  turn  out  that  stuff.  I  hope  it's
something  the  chief  wiU  like."

He  took  it  and,  as  I  noticed,  for  I  hung  about  to  see,  read
it  at  once,  and  I  saw  him  begin  to  smile  and  finally  chuckle.
"This  thing's  all  right,"  he  called.  "You  needn't  worry.
Gaither'll  be  pleased  with  this,  I  know,"  and  he  began  to
edit  it.
I  went  out  to  walk  and  think,  for  I  had  nothing  to  do  except
wander  over  to  Allegheny  to  find  out  if  anything  had  turned
up.
