"Probably as a white-wings," laughed Elizabeth. "But if so I positively refuse to permit you to stop in the middle of Michigan Boulevard and converse with a street-sweeper while I'm with you." Jimmy's new job lasted two weeks, and then the milk-wagon drivers went on strike and Jimmy was thrown out of employment. "Tough luck," sympathized the Lizard. "You sure are the Calamity Kid.
"Whatever a man undertakes he should succeed in before he can hope to bring success to others." "Even in trifling occupations, I presume," suggested the girl, "efficiency methods are best an efficiency expert could doubtlessly drive a milk-wagon better than an ordinary person?" And she looked straight into Jimmy's eyes, an unquestioned challenge in her own. "Unquestionably," said Jimmy.
