As ever, the day for leaving arrived. This time I gave notice to Kelly
three days in advance, so that a girl could be found to take my place.
"The Big Chief and I both said when we seen you, she won't stay long
at this job."
"Why not?" I indignantly asked Kelly.
"Ah, shucks!" sighed Kelly. Later: "Well, you're a good kid. You were
making good at your job, too. Only I'll tell y' this. You're too
conscientious. Don't pay."
