never really grew to be man, though
htb lived forty-fOur years. 1t is true

4 deep bass voice; that he wore
heard and that from all external ap-
g)earances he would at once have been
taken for O full sized man. But at
heart he was always a boy. He never
got over the habit of looking at things
from q boys point of view. Instead
OF regarding the world as a place for
serious business, where men must
work so many hours a day and pro-
SgS- so many dollars worth Of goods
IN the fields and labor hard in
oSxzes Dor offices or stores and get
o. Ii. stead Of all these things lie
g. emed to consider the world
