At that point Farnsworth came out and took a look about the office. His eyes fell upon Don, and he crossed the room.
He handed Don a package.
“I wish you would deliver these to Mr. Hayden, of Hayden & Wigglesworth,” he requested.
Farnsworth returned to his office, leaving Don staring helplessly at the package in his hands.
“For Heaven’s sake, get busy!” exclaimed Miss Winthrop.
“But where can I find Mr. Hayden?” inquired Don.
“Get out of the office and look up the firm in a directory,” she returned sharply. “But hustle out of here just as if you did know.”
Don seized his hat and obeyed. He found himself on the street, quite as ignorant of where to find a directory as he was of where to find Mr. Hayden, of Hayden & Wigglesworth. But in rounding a corner––still at full speed––he ran into a messenger boy.
“Take me to the office of Hayden & Wigglesworth and there’s a quarter in it for you,” he offered.
