Mr. Walters thrummed meditatively on the table . Dan waited wonderingly . Finally the factory owner said abruptly , `` There 's a vacant place for a boy down here . I want it filled as soon as possible . Will you take it ? '' `` Mr. Walters ! Me ! '' Dan thought the world must be turning upside down . `` Yes , you . You are rather young , but the duties are not hard or difficult to learn . I think you 'll do . I was resolved not to fill that place until I could find a perfectly honest and trustworthy boy for it . I believe I have found him . I discharged the last boy because he lied to me about some trifling offence for which I would have forgiven him if he had told the truth . I can bear with incompetency , but falsehood and deceit I can not and will not tolerate , '' he said , so sternly that Dan 's face paled . `` I am convinced that you are incapable of either . Will you take the place , Dan ? '' `` I will if you think I can fill it , sir . I will do my best . '' `` Yes , I believe you will .
