"I told no one anything of the kind," replied Richard briefly, though he could readily understand the mistake under which Norris was laboring. "Yes, you did." "No, I did not." "Oh, come, I know better. If you didn't, who did? Massanet wasn't here." "That's true, too; but, nevertheless, I didn't tell Mr. Mann." "You're a " began the shipping-clerk passionately. "Here! here!
So Richard and Frank fell back into the crowd, and were immediately joined by Bretzwartz, the German shipping-clerk. "I guess the place is a goner," remarked Frank, as the flames shot out of the upper windows. "Wonder how it caught?" said Richard. "Der poiler in der pasement busted," put in Bretzwartz.
He turned on his heel without waiting for an answer and joined Morris in the rear of the store. Ten minutes later he was approached by Jake, the shipping-clerk. "Mr. Potash," Jake said, "them two ladies in the show-room wants to know if you would maybe give that party they was talking about a recommendation to the President of the Kosciusko Bank?"
This man said to the boy, before he had been sweeping a week: "Young 'un, I obsarve with my hown hies that you sweeps in the corners. For this I raises your pay a shilling a week, and makes you monkey to the shipping-clerk." In a year the shipping-clerk was needed as a salesman, and Richard took his place. In another year Richard was a salesman, and canvassing London for orders.
Generally, the goods are placed in a bin and slide down to the floor below. If a check is lost, the goods are charged to the saleswoman, though it may be the fault of the shipping-clerk. In some stores the fines are divided between the superintendent and the time-keeper.
Whether he had married her in Russia, before his arrest, or in Switzerland, where he and her brother had spent some time after their escape from exile, Mirmelstein could not tell me. Matilda's name was not mentioned in the advertisement, but my shipping-clerk had heard of her arrival and marriage from some Antomir people. I could scarcely do anything that day. I was in a fever of excitement.
The shipping-clerk of a mercantile house, who had overheard the conversation, interrupted the agent with a loud laugh. "A charge of twenty-five dollars freight on a little thing like that! WHY, MAN, THAT SUM IS NEARLY HALF HER VALUE! How LARGE was the boat you shipped last fall to Pittsburgh for twenty-five dollars?"
The shipping-clerk looked at a board. "The Highflyer goes in twelve days, madam, and there is one cabin vacant." "I want to go at once to-morrow or next day." He smiled. "I am afraid that is impossible," said he. Just then one of the partners came out of his private room with a telegram in his hand, and beckoned the shipping-clerk.
In the middle of the week a new shipping-clerk, a German by the name of Bretzwartz, was engaged, and, though everybody in the establishment found it hard at first to understand the young man's broken English, yet he was such a jolly fellow as well as an honest and capable one that he was soon on good terms all around.
Richard's duties brought him into daily contact with the shipping-clerk, but though the latter treated him fairly well, there was something in the other's manner that he did not like, and consequently he did not associate as freely with Norris as that young man seemed to desire. Norris was something of a dandy in his way, and rarely appeared at the store otherwise than faultlessly dressed.
