I've seen men forced to take it right on the cars. Open a paper, slide
down, turn white, shiver, then take a brace and try to sit up and look
like they didn't care, when you could see it was all up with them. Gee,
it's tough! I wish we were in other business."
"But what about the men who work hard for their money, not to mince
matters, that these men you are pitying steal?" asked Douglas.
"Yes, I know," said Mickey. "But there's a big bunch of taxpayers, so it
doesn't hit any _one_ so hard. It's tough on them, but honest, Mr. Bruce,
it ain't as tough to lose your coin as it is to lose your glad face. You
can earn more money or slide along without so much; but once you get the
slick, shamed look on your show window, you can't ever wash it off. Since
your face is what your friends know you by, it's an awful pity to spoil
it."
"That's so too, Mickey," laughed Bruce, "but keep this clearly in your
mind. _I'm not spoiling any one's face_. If any man loses his right to
look his neighbour frankly in the eye, from the job we're on, it is _his_
fault, not _ours_.
