Mickey slid his hands under her head, and advised: "Keep her straight!"
Into one of the big hospitals he helped carry a blue and white clad nurse,
on and on, up elevators and into a white porcelain room where they laid

nurses came running. He stood waiting for his papers. He was rather sick,
yet he remembered he had five there he must sell.
"Better clear out of here now!" suggested a surgeon.
"My papers!" said Mickey. "She fell right cross my feet. I slid them
under, to make her head more pillowlike on the stones. Maybe I can sell
some of them."
The surgeon motioned to a nurse at the door.
"Take this youngster to the office and pay him for the papers he has
spoiled," he ordered.
