BOUND TO BE AN ELECTRICIAN
"Franklin Bell. I would like to drive the truck until you can give me a place in the works."
"Well, since you did us a good turn, you can try the job," returned Montague Smith, shortly. "Macklin will give you instructions. Do you hear, Macklin?"
"Yes, sir," returned the truckman.
"You can follow Macklin now, and to-morrow morning come in the office and I'll have a talk with you. There is no time to waste at present. If the load is too heavy, take the top row of boxes off. Macklin, help him get the load into shape."
And without another word Montague Smith walked back to the office, leaving Franklin to proceed with his new work as best he could.
