Since then, Pierre had kept his am
bition to himself. He helped provide
the necessities for the house, and
bought little luxuries for his grand
mother, and even after these expendi-
lures, was able to save occasional pen
MES from his papers and errands and
chores to purchase books on the science
he loved. As he grew older, he Ionged
for an oppo ortunity to 60 away to the
great medical schools, as his father
had done. He worked harder, and be-
gan to store up dollars instead Of pen
MES, only, as his. hoard increased, he
would discover that his grandmoth
clothing was getting shabby, or that
there was some expensive food or cor
dial in the market that would please
her; and then his money would melt
away. But it did not matter, he would
tell himself consolingly, la grand mere
was getting old and needed these
things; there was plenty OF time.
5zs#S So he saved more money, and spent
ut for the grandmother; and boarded
again, and again layished it on the
8grandmo her. But all the time he was
working and stud ying and thinking. He
bought books when he could, and bor-
roWed books and pamphlets from the
I free library, and from an old physician
who was becoming Interested il him.
And this same old physician took him
to the hospital and explained eases,
and occasionally even allowed him to-
