      Breezy - J. George Frederick

      48

      I

      When the prosperous though unprogressive firm of Casper W. Leslie & Co., grocers, hired him they thought they had secured an ordinary clerk, and gave themselves no further concern. They already had a force of about a dozen clerks, besides half a dozen delivery teams. They had hired clerks for twenty years, and it was to them a troublesome and vexatious proceeding. They frowned at first at his slight frame, but when he put a prostrate sugar barrel on end with easy unconcern, all objections were immediately withdrawn.

      His surname was the leveling one of Smith, and his Christian name — highly Christian — Hezekiah. His mother called him Zeke and his companions, Breezy.

      Breezy entered upon his work whistling in supreme content. He was at the bottom of the commercial hill, and was preparing to run up to the top. He had no star-high ambitions to make him dream, no love affairs to make him forgetful, and no vices to keep him from doing his best. There wasn't a lazy tendon in his body. He was not tall. If he had been, he would have been lazy. He was short, thin, black-eyed, nervous, and muscular. Before his ponderous companions got an idea through their heads, Breezy was half-way done with the action. A few thought he was a genius; but they were mistaken. Breezy was innocent of the smallest spark. He just had a heavy capital of nervous energy that made him work while others were content to lounge.

      They put him behind the fruit counter. His first act was to clean it up and fix things generally. Such a rum way of doing business, he muttered, quite like an experienced grocer, scowling at the hidden waste and slipshod displays of his predecessor. When he was through with the counter there was absolutely no fault to find with it. But he was not satisfied. He went into the cellar and started to saw and nail some boxes to make receptacles for various things back of his counter.

      What are you doing here? said the pompous and obese superintendent, finding him at work.

      Oh, said Breezy carelessly, I'm just getting some boxes in shape to put dirt and tools in at my counter.

      We have got a carpenter to do that, said the superintendent, with displeasure; get up where you belong and 'tend to your customers.

      Breezy went up, and finished the boxes later while the superintendent was absent. He cleaned the fruit on his stand four times a day. It gets so blamed mussed up, he said briskly to a fellow clerk who looked askance at the action.

      The other clerk didn't, replied his companion suggestively. Didn't he?" said Breezy coolly.

      Of course the clerks laughed at him. His tie was awry and of objectionable hue, and his trousers lacked the proper cut and crease.

      The fruit trade was slow, and Breezy was highly impatient. The superintendent compelled him to stay behind his counter, and he had to gaze impatiently over the bustling crowd of the store, which seemed to stop at every other counter but his. Twice, when the superintendent was not about, he made a personal canvass among the shoppers and secured a number of sales. The third time he was discovered and peremptorily ordered back.

      After closing time, Breezy was absent-minded and restless. The noise of the overhead cash system; the aroma of freshly roasted coffee, of bacon, and of cheese; the click of the weighing scales; the scraping of the busy scoops; the shrill staccato of the register bells and opening drawers; the rustle of the wrapping paper; the shuffle of hurrying feet; the
