away from the house. out Of the village to

That night. according to the story. the
youngster had something to eat and bed
in the fSherman's hut.
He grew up with the fishermans daugh-

to fish. But the life of the port was faS-
cinating to the youngster. When he was
fourteen, and he heard the tales of fisher
men and returning travellers as to the
wealth of America-the land where every
thing Is gold and all is happiness. The
desire to go to America began to prey
on him.
One day he was offered free passage on
steamer to New York. He accepted the
terms, and then went home and told Lila
about it. She was nineteen then, and
pretty girl.
You will come back soon. will you?" she

The fisherman approved the plan. al

This sum was invested through the aid
of the contractor that employed him. and
in another two years the young man had
nearly S1,JO0 put away. He used $500 TO put
up a small grocery store which was to sell
Italian goods exclusively. He failed, and
moved in the American business district
For a time he made expenses. Then he
became known, and with a aid of a genial
advertising agent. was able to place his
goods before the eyes of the public. In
two years his store was valued at $1,000,
while he still had the original $1,000 In the

another but smaller store In the Italian
section, where he sold at a reduced price

And that was his story-the story of
