"I have no grudge against him. Besides, if we only benefit those whom we like, there isn't much credit in that."
"Exactly. There isn't much credit in my doing you favors."
"Don't think I am ungrateful, Mr. Gale; I appreciate all you have done for me."
"I understand you, Andy, and I like you better for what you have done. What further plans have you?"
"I should like to get John a place, and give him a chance to redeem himself. He needs a friend badly."
"He shall have one. We will both help him."

"Have you any home, John?" asked Andy.
"No; that is, I have a room, but I spent all the money that was coming to me, and they won't let me stay. I don't know what I shall do," he said, despondently.
"If Mr. Gale and I will find you a new place, will you try to keep it?"
