CHAPTER TX.


Several years passed and many things
had happened to Tom and his friends.
Fred had become a stenOgrapher in an
Office down town; the Doyle boys were
in college; Miss Vinton had gone West
to teach In a reform school, and Uncle
Will had been killed in an explosion at
the shop where he worked. His life
had been insured, but the companies had
managed, as they frequently do, to get
out Of paying cent Of the money.
Tom had to 60 to work as clerk In
store, and found anything but the easy
job he had once supposed. He was not
paid enough to keep both himself and
Aunt Sarah, and the money saved for
his schooling and the little left him by
his father was soon spent. They had
moved into three-roomed fiat In a part
of town where the people were not as
clean and as well to do as they were
where Tom and his aunt had lived.
Their rooms were small and did not
look out upon the street but into back
yard and an air shaft which let In little
light and fresh air. Fifteen families
lived in the house. Children were every
where. The Railways smelled Of boiled
cabbage.
Many of the people in the house drank
beer, and bare-headed youngsters went
around the corner to the family en-
trance Of the saloon and brought back
fOaming pitchers full, for in summer
when the water was warm and tasteless
and there was no good place in their
crowded rooms to keep ice, beer was
the coolest and most refreshing drink
they could get. Sometimes the parents
Of the children said very cross things
to each other in such loud tones that
everybody In the house could hear.
Aunt Sarah tried to help make the living
by sewing for people, but there are thou
sands of women in New York who do
such work, and she could find little to
do. It was very hard work for Tom to
make living for both, and Mrs. Thomas
felt that he could get along better IL she
were not there, so when her husbands
people asked her to live with them and
Tom insisted that he could take care OF
himself, for he was big boy now and
II years old, she left New York and
started up a sewing shop in the town
where Mr.. Thomas relatives lived.
Tom worked ten hours day in dry
goods store on Sixth avenue. His coun-
ter was in basement lit with gas, and
he saw little of sunshine and daylight
except ON Sundays. Although the clerks
were paid poor wages they were re-
quired to dress as well as If they re-
ceived good salaries Tom could there
fore save no money, and when the store
failed, as it did when big department
store opened up across the street, sell
ing everything from a pin to piano
and much cheaper than the smaller
stores could, he was left without work
and without money.
He did not let his aunt know about
this, for he would find another place
soon. He watched the want columns in
the papers and wore his shoes out hunt
ing work. There were too many people
for the work to be done. Now and then
he got an odd job which did not last
