Insubordinate Smith By JOHN RATHMERE © by McClure Newspaper Syndicate. WNU Service ««^iOOD morning. Smith,” Mr. V_J Laurence said, and looked in quiringly first at Walter Smith and then pointedly at the clock on the wall at the end of the large office. It was five minutes after nine o’clock and never in the live years that Walter had been employed by Laurence and Street had he ever come in later than a quarter to nine. Walter simply said “Good morning. Air. I^aurence and went to his desk, ignoring Laurence’s obvious dis pleasure. After all, Mr. I^iurence quite fre quently made his first appearance much later than this and Mr. Street was not yet in. When Walter had looked over' the letters that Jay on his desk he turned to Miss Greely, the stenographer, who was obviously doing nothing. “Take these, answers, will you. Miss Greely.” he said, and Miss Greely looked up in amazement. Always before Walter Smith had said: "If you have noth ing to do for Mr. Laurence—or for Mr, Street—1 wonder if you would have time to take a few letters.” An hour or so later Walter gave an other amazing sign of insubordination. “Go out and •see Jones Brothers to day,” Laurence toffl htm. “Tell them that we will discontinue deliveries im mediately if they don’t make a pay ment-for everything up to date. Speak sharply to them.” “No. no.” said Walter. “That won’t do. Jones Brothers are one of our best customers. They are a little hard pressed now but perfectly sound. We can’t afford to antagonize them.” Mr. Laurence turned red in the face. “See here. Smith.” he said. “I told you to go up and tell those people— what right have you to dispute my authority?” Walter merely grinned genially at Laurence and went into Mr. Street’s private office. “These specifications you’ve drawn up for So and So.” he told Mr. Street, “won’t do.” Mr. Street looked in amazement at the young man and then feeling the new note of sureness and self-confidence in Ills voice listened intently. Obviously Walter Smith was right. As the day advanced every one in the organization was aware that a change had come over young Walter Smith, and no one was more aware of the fact than Walter himself. At twelve Mr. Street asked Walter Smith to have .luncheon with him at ins club—a / hitherto unprecedented occurrence. - , ’ “What’s got into j’ou. Smith.” Mr. Street asked abruptly when they had taken their places at a table for two in the club dining room... “You had Laurence all worked up.” "Nothing has got into me,” Walter told him. “My manner lias dfluhtleSs changed because I’m through. For the first time since I went to work It doesn’t matter Whether 1 keep my job or not. When I left college five years ago I had to support my sister and brother. My brother was through college last June. He’s doing well. And my sister was married last night. I’ve a few thousands in the hank. I no longer have to put up with Mr. Laurence's stupidity and yonr short sightedness. I intend to take a few months vacation and then make con nections with a really going concern. To be fure you people are holding your own, hut you’re missing big op portunities because you’re too con servative and you discourage your em ployees—” “But look here. Smith,” Mr. Street was all solicitude. “We don’t want you to work for one of our com petitors. That’s hrtd business. Why do you want to work for another con cern?” “Because another concern would pay me more nearly what I'm worth. They would or I wouldn’t work for them. I’ve only myself to consider now—” “If I’d known you had it in you I’d have given you more money.” Street explained. “I’ll talk to Laurence." “Laurence has nothing to say about it,” Walter said with assurance. “Lau rence is merely a figurehead. I know as well ns you do that he’s lost what ever ability he ever had.” Street looked perplexed. “You cer tainly have changed.” he told the younger man. “I’ll think things over. You weren't thinking of making any changes before the first of January?" “I am planning to leave at the end of the week. After all when you fire employees you give them less notice than that—” That evening while Laurence and Street were lingering at the office In heavy conference discussing ways and means of keeping young Smith while they were going so far as to consider how he might be taken in as a junior partner—Walter ^mith was dining at the best hotel restaurant in town with Alarjorie Black, Mr. Laurence's fa- forite niece. “Of course I didn’t tell your uncle we were going to met married.” Wal ter told Marjorie. 1 thought you ought to tell him that. But he’s had enough surprises for one day—” “Shall I tell him we’re going to be married—next week?” she asked. “And that after we come back from Europe you’ll go hack to work for him.” “Tell him we’re going to he married next week,” said Walter. “But don’t tell him I’m coining hack—that'c en tirely up to him. For the tirat time in my life I know I’m good, and I’m going to stay good by being inde pendent." OBSERVANT Uncle was testing ids small nephew’s knowledge. “Jack.” lie asked, “what does A B C spell?” “Nothing,” was the reply. “What does L M N spell?” was .uncle’s next question. “Nothing,” was Jack’s answer. Jack’s smaller sister, who had been an interested listener,, then spoke. “It seems to me that there are lots of ways of spelling nothing,” she said. —Children's Newspaper.
