While his hand was outstretched and his foot uplifted to enter, from a
high-piled passing truck toppled a box, not a big box, but large enough to
knock Mickey senseless and breathless when it struck him between the
shoulders. Douglas had Mickey in the car with orders for the nearest
hospital, toward which they were hurrying, when the boy opened his eyes
and sat up. He looked inquiringly at Douglas, across whose knees he had
found himself.
"Wha--what happened?" he questioned with his first good indrawing of
recovered breath.
"A box fell from a truck loaded past reason and almost knocked the life
out of you!" cried Douglas.
"'Knocked the life out of me?'" repeated Mickey.
"You've been senseless for three blocks, Mickey."
A slow horror spread over Mickey's face.
"Wha--what was you going to do?" he wavered.
"Running for a hospital," said Douglas.
"S'pose my head had been busted, and I'd been stretched on the glass table
and maybe laid up for days or knocked out altogether?" demanded Mickey.
