Three months later Walter arrived at

during which he ha»l visited from twenty
to thirty different towns and village* He
ha»i now got atx-uatomed to th« bu«ln»«s.

that he had m»t with a degree of success

He had tret rd his powers, and found
that they were quite equal to ths task

After eating supper, and ■l*n<tln< an
hour or two lu ths public room of t he
hotel, Walter went up to hie room. Hey«
he took out a blank hoot. In which be
kept an aecouBt of bla sales am! expendl

nred up the grand result. He wlshsrl to

After a brief computation, he ««Id.
with «atlafsctlon. “1 haw sold two hun

sroaa profit of three hundred and fifty
dollars. My expenses have Men «xmtly
two hundred and sixty thr«« dollar«. 'Hist

This was a result which might well
yield Walter satisfaction, Ils waa only
fifteen, and thia was hl« first business eg

Moreover, he was nearly a

been able to pay all bla expenses, and
these, of coarse, were considerable, as he
waa constantly moving, aod yet bad made

“That la rather better than working for
