“Right now!” exclaimed Larry, hardly believing the good news was true.
“To-morrow will do,” said the editor with a smile. “We’re all through for to-day. Come in at eight o’clock to-morrow morning.”
“I will!” almost gasped Larry, and then, as the two men nodded a kind good-night, he sped from the room.
CHAPTER VI
LARRY MAKES AN ENEMY
Larry thought he would never get home that evening to tell the good news. He fairly burst into the room where his mother was sewing and cried out:
“Hurrah, mother! I’ve got a job!”
“Good, Larry!” exclaimed Mrs. Dexter. “I’m so glad. What is it?”
Talking so rapidly he could hardly be understood, Larry narrated all that had occurred on his visit to the newspaper office.
“I’m to go to work to-morrow morning,” he finished.
