One morning, few days later, Joshu,
was walking modify up the village roat
with his hands in his pockets. He wa
rejecting, in a spirit of great discomfort
/ on the hardships of his situation.
/ Here am l." he said to himself, leigh
teen years old, and father treats me lik,
a boy of ten. I'm most a man, and ell
he gives me for pocket money is twenty
4 five cents a week There's Dick Storrs
whose father isn't a quarter as rich e.
mine gets a dollar week. He's only
sixteen, too
! One important difference between HIM
self and Dick Storrs did not occur to
| Joshua. Dick worked in a shoeshop, md
it was out of his own wages that his faith
e. allowed him a dollar week Joshua
earned nothing at all.
''It's mean !" reflected Joshua. There
amt boy of my age in Stapleton that's
so meanly treated, and yet my fathers
the richest man In town. l wish l knew
what to do to get a little money"
AT this moment he saw Sam Crawford
| approaching him. Sam was perhaps a
year younger than Joshua. he had for
merly lived in the village, but was now
in a situation in New York, and was
only IN otapieton lor lew Gays:
How are you, Joshua?" said Sam.
I'm going round to the ice cream saloon.
Won't you come with me
Yes, if you'll treat. l haven't got any
money"

That's SO. But he's getting meaner
every day."
