business success was greatly due to his imagination.

"You see" she began, when my grandfather died

good deal younger and father promised and set about
keeping his word the best he knew how. But his idea

uncle the tale of his wanderngs they sat round the
hastily supplemented supper-tabe and as the returned
traveller found that he listened to with profound
interest he warmed to his task, giving rapid and vivid
sketch of his life during the past twenty years, All his
struggles from the day when old Mr. Carver had lent
him the ten dollars and introduced him to the boss of
shoe factory at Brockton who happened to be going
by the train, and who engaged the quick-witted
boy before half their journey accomplished to the
crowning triumph of his life when he had made money
