his rescue of little Bertie and the
evident favor of Mrs. Dalton made him the recipient of much attention.
He felt that he was in luck for once in his life, and was convinced of
it when, on the arrival of Mr. Dalton, he was offered the post of
errand-boy at five dollars a week, with a present of five dollars in
advance. He asked no time for consideration, but accepted at once.

"You may report for service to-morrow morning," said Mr. Dalton.
"There is my business-card. Can you find it?"

"I know where it is," said Sam. "I'll be there." Sam's chance had
come. He was invited to fill an humble but respectable position. Would
he give satisfaction, or drift back after a while to his vagabond
habits? Young outlaw as he had been, was he likely to grow into an
orderly member of society? If any of my readers are curious on this
subject, they are referred to the next volume of this series,
entitled

SAM'S CHANCE;

AND HOW HE IMPROVED IT.
