How are you feeling this morning, father? asked Fred Stanley as his parent came slowly into the dining-room, leaning heavily on a crutch.
Not so well, Fred. My leg pained me considerable last night, and I did not sleep much. You are up early, aren't you?
Yes. I am going over to the new diggings and see if I can't get a job, so I want to start soon.
Where are the new diggings, Fred? I hadn't heard of any. But that is not surprising, as I don't hear news as I used to before the accident, when I could get around among the miners.
Why, there is a rumor that several prospectors have struck it rich near Cartersville. They've formed a settlement and called it New Strike. I heard they wanted boys to drive the ore carts, and I thought I'd go over and try for a place.
It's too bad you have had to stop school, Fred, and go to work. If I wasn't crippled I could make lots of money at mining.
