this mister, when I go home at

a shirt, like her mother used to

He is an uneducated man, who
gets his living by his physical

read "a whole book"
And yet there is a great idea
dawning in his mind An idea so
wonderful that it brings him de-

looked for And that idea is this;
He can contribute three young

try, giving to each of them, as far
as he can, a better chance than
he had himself.
