“This is the way to live, Dan!” said Walter at last. “Why don’t more people try it?”

“Probably they are too busy trying to get an income.”

“That’s all right. My father says it’s a great thing for a man to learn to live within his income. He’s trying to teach me how to keep inside of my allowance.”

“I suppose that’s so,” said Dan a little dryly, “but to me it has always seemed as if there was something better than that.”

“Better than living inside of one’s income?”

“Yes.”

“What’s that?”

“Learning how to live without an income.”

“I hadn’t thought of that,” laughed Walter. “I suppose it’s true.”
