"You'd have had the best surgeon in Multiopolis, and every care, Mickey,"
assured Douglas.
"Ugh!" Mickey collapsed utterly.
"Must be hurt worse than I thought," was Douglas' mental comment. "He
couldn't be a coward!"
But Mickey almost proved that very thing by regaining his senses again,
and immediately falling into spasms of long-drawn, shuddering sobbing.
Douglas held him carefully, every moment becoming firmer in his conviction
of one of two things: either he was hurt worse or he was----He would not
let himself think it; but never did boy appear to less advantage. Douglas
urged the driver to speed. Mickey heard and understood.
"Never mind," he sobbed. "I'm all right Mr. Bruce; I ain't hurt. Not much!
I'll be all right in a minute!"
"If you're not hurt, what _is_ the matter with you?"
"A minute!" gasped Mickey, as another spasm of sobbing caught him.
"I am amazed!" cried Douglas. "A little jolt like that! You are acting
like a coward, Mickey!"
The word straightened Mickey.
"Coward! Who? Me!" he cried.
