The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-02-10

In the spring Nettie Bridges,
who lived one hundred miles
away from Wayne, came to visit
a friend. Alvin met her. They
mutually fell in love. Nettie was
only seventeen, and a girl of good
sense. Alvin was practical. They
very we'll knew that marriage was
a long ways ahead. They didnot
even become engaged. When
they parted, however, Nettie was
willing to wait, and Alvin to
work, and they talked of meeting
again next year instead of next
week, as most impatient modern
lovers do.
Then Alvin set to work to save.
He got some extra night work.
He saved up fifty dollars. Right
on top Of it came a glad, hopeful
letter from Nettie. The father of
a girl friend wanted clerk. His
business was good, he would pay
liberal wages. Nettie had spoken
a word for her lover friend. Alvin
wrote to the merchant at Hope
dale. A reply accepted his appli-
cation, and he was to report in
week.
No good will come of rowing"
grumbled selfish Uncle Uriah.
I'll give you a raise of a dollar a
week"
No" replied Alvin resolutely.

and to himself, Il shall be near

A sense of family duty and the

But finally a new element
stepped in, lifted the veil from the
present and showed a-rare golden
pathway in the future That ele-
ment was love.
