He had some other errand to perform for himself and his mother, but the reason for his going to town was the imperative need of shoes. It was Friday afternoon. The coming Sunday he must appear decently shod, so his mother had told him, at the same time hinting at some other than the Sunday reason. He now had the money, three big, jingling silver dollars in his pocket.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
