Forrest, I think I'll send you out on a country route tomorrow. Know what a country route is?" "I think so." "Well, in case you do not, I will tell you. Every day we send out men to post bills through the country. The routes are laid out by the contracting agent long before we get to a town. You go out in a livery rig, and you will have to drive from thirty to forty miles a day. You are an aerial performer, are you not?" "Yes, sir." "Then you will be able to climb barns all right. We will call you Car Number Three's barn-climber. We'll see how good a performer you really are. For the first few days I will send you out with one of the billposters; after that you will have to go it alone. If you are no good, back you go. Understand?" "I think so. I shall do the best I can." "And what do I do?" demanded Teddy. |
