"No."



"Did you ever hear of anybody who had interviewed 'im?"



"No."



"Then shut up! Doc Savage hasn't been interviewed because he don't go for publicity. That shows this is not a stunt!"



The cub scratched his head. He was obviously impressed.



"Just what kind of a bird is this Doc Savage?" he asked curiously.



"Didn't you read my by-line story in the bulldog edition?" snorted the other.



"Yes. You told me to do that so I'd know how a good reporter writes, but I don't mind telling you I thought it was lousy. Was what you put in the story all you know about Doc Savage?"



"Just about," replied the older head, deciding to be patient instead. "Savage don't brag about himself; but who have met him - people he's helped - have told plenty. Some of it is hard to believe.



"For one thing, they claim this bronze guy is qualified as a specialist, not only in surgery and medicine, but in electricity, chemistry, geology, engineering in about everything else! A specialist, mind you! Not a dabbler! They say none of the big shots in those lines are superior to Savage in learning. He can tell 'em all things about their own rackets."



"I don't believe it!" confided the cub.



"Well, that's your privilege. They say furthermore that Samson was a piker alongside this guy Savage when it comes to physical strength. They say Savage can take a horseshoe and tie it in knots."



"I don't believe that, either!" said the cub.
