CHAPTER vi.
Became a Day Laborer.

~ HAT night Ruth and l had a
talk about the boy. We both
came back from our walk,
with him more on our minds
than anything else. He had been
interested in everything and had asked
about a thousand questions and gone to
bed eager to be out on the street again
the next day.
We knew we couldn't keep him cooped
up in the fat all the time, and, OF
course, both Ruth ana / were going TO
be too busy to go out with him every
time he went.
As for letting him run loose around
these streets with nothing to do. that
would be sheer foolhardiness. 1t was
too late in the season to enroll him IN
the public schools. and even that would
have left him idle during the long sum-
uer months.
We talked some at first of sending him
