ing that may
interest you. The Sayers Automobile Company is going to reorganize its
sales organization. It wants a man with imagination who will take hold
of that department. It seeks a man with ideas--none of the old, worn
out, hackneyed stuff, but--a man with original ideas that will prove
good. The Martin Company handles its advertising. Do you think--really
and honestly think--that you could reorganize its sales department and
bring to it additional success if I recommend you to the Sayers people?"

"You bet your life I could!" asserted Jimmy. "I've thought about that
car a lot. And in the last few days when nobody seems to want me, I have
wondered if it wouldn't be a good move for me to get into the line of
motor cars."

Martin seemed to ponder over the situation for a moment and then said,
with a sly grin, "Of course the first step for you to take would be to
go out to the Sayers works, meet Sayers and his superintendent, make a
study of the sales methods they have been employing, and then put before

showed up there--that is, unless I could get the infuriated populace to
make another mistake of identity and hang the Judge in the belief that
he was me!"

"Um-mh! Granger lives in Princetown, eh? That's rather awkward, isn't
it? What do you propose?"

Jimmy thought a moment and slapped his leg with an air of cheerfulness.

"I've got it. I'll do as I did before--hide all of my face I can. I'll
wear big blue glasses, and grow a mustache and get my hair dyed black.
And if I can arrange it I'll go through Princetown like greased
lightning, and stop at the works while there."

Martin chuckled with amusement and then said, "I think Sayers would send
a car to meet you at the train if we wrote him when you were coming, and
I have no doubt that you
