CHAPTER XIV.


Three months later Walter arrived at
Columbus, the capital Of the State, after
a business tour OF considerable length.
during which he had visited from twenty
TO thirty different towns and villages. He
had now got accustomed to the business.
and understood better what arguments to
employ to those whom he wished to pur-
chase his book. The consequence was
that he had met with degree of success
which had far exceeded his anticipations
He had tested his powers, and found
that they were quite equal to the task
he had undertaken-that Of earning HIS
own living. lie had padded his own canoe
thus far without assistance. and he felt
confident that, If his health continued
good, he should be able TO do so here
after.
After eating supper, and spending an
hour or two In the public room of the
hotel, Walter went up to his room. Here
be took out q blank boot, In which he
kept an account OF his sales and expendi-
lures. and. taking a piece of paper fig
ured up the grand result. He wished to
know just how he stood

This was a result which might well
yield Walter satisfaction. He was only
fifteen, and this was his first business ex-
perience. Moreover. he was nearly a
thousand miles away from home and
friends. surrounded by strangers. Yet. by
bis energy and business ability. he had
been able to pay all bis expenses, and
these, Of course. were considerable, as he
was constantly moving, and yet had made
a dollar a day clear profit.

reflected Il am afraid Il would have

Leaving Walter busily engaged In sell
ing books. we will glance at the Drum
mond household, and inquire how the
members Of that interesting family Jared
sfter Walters departure.
Josbua's discomfort Increased daily. He
was now eighteen. and his father sbso-
Mtely refused to increase his allowance
OF twenty-five cents week. which was
certainly ridiculously small for boy of
bis age.
While he was thinking this matter over
q dangerous thought entered his mind
His father, ha knew bad a small brass
nailed trunk, In which he kept his monay
and securities. He had seen him going
TO u more than once.
Il wonder how much he's got In It."
thought Joshua. "As It's all coming TO
mo some day there's no harm In my
knowing"
There seemed little chance of finding
out, however. The trunk was always
locked. and Mr. Drummond carried the
key about with him In his pocket. II he
had bean a careless man, there might
have been some chance of his some day
leaving the trunk unlocked, or mislaying
the key but IN money matters Mr.. Drum
mond was never careless. Joshua would
have been obliged to wait years, II he
bad depended upon this contingency.
One day, however, Joahua found in the
road bunch Of keys of various sizes at
tached 10 a ring. He cared very little
20 whom they belonged, but it flashed
upon him at once that one of these keys
might 6t his fathers strong box. He hur-
ried home at once with his treasure and
ran upstairs breathless with excitement.
He knew where the trunk was kept. Mr..
Drumurond. relying ON the security of the
lock, kept IL In the closet of his bed
chamber.
Joshua made his way at once to the
closet, and, entering, began to try his
keys, one after the other. The very
last one wss successful in opening the
trunk
Josiiua trembled with excitement as he
saw the contents of the trunk laid open
to his grze. He turned over the papers
nervously. hoping to come upon some rolls
of bills. In one corner he found fifty
dollars In gold pieces. Besides these,
there were some mortgages. In which he
felt little interest. But among the con-
tents Of the trunk were some folded pa
pers which he recognised at once as Unit
cd States bonds. Opening one of them,
he found It to be Five-Twenty bond for
Eve hundred dollars.
Five hundred dollarsl What. could he
not do with Eve hundred dollars He
could go to the city and board and enjoy
himself meanwhile, till he could find a
place. His CALLING dependence would be
over, and he would be his own master
TIVE, il would be a theft, bat Joshua
had an excuse ready.
1T will all be mine some day." he said

my own in advance"
He seized the gold and the bond, hast
ny eonceaiing both In his breast pocket,
went downstairs. first locking the trunk.
and putting IL away where he found 1t.
He got out of the house without his
mother seeing him. and made his way to

where he purchased ticket for New
