cause they only see him when he goes
driving or riding on his little gray
pony or when he goes walking down
the long wooded street with his fine
dog. But how these boys would grum-

"Young Marshall Field is a well
built chap, having inherited from his
father and grandfather. the broad
shoulders and erect carriage Of the
Fields. He is gentle in manner like
dozens of other boys you have met,
and likes pretty much the same things,
such as tops and kites and marbles
and guns, and all sorts Of boyish
sports.

with rheumatism at his home in Chi.

at the request of his grandfather, who
thought that the bracing air Of that
locality would tend to win back his
health.

meals in solitary state, which he does
not like overmuch. -. =
"After breakfast he puts on his rid

the stables to bring around his pony. A
few minutes later he is cantering over
the smooth roads around Lakewood.
