back to school, and after school they
are going TO college on their own earn

Even in the boys stories there are not
many youngsters who are the equals OF
these two for grit. perseverance and
shrewdness. One is 16, the other IA.
Through their individual efforts they
have earned $4,000 between them in the
Klondike IN the last three years, with
the ayowed intention Of acquiring bet

parents could afford to give them.

permission to do what they could to-

earned they invested in boat and a site
