“How long have you been at this business?”

“Four days.”

“Does it pay?”

“Better than the business I left.”

“What is that?”

“Distributing circulars for a restaurant.”

“Well, that’s satisfactory. Would you like to work in the evening also?”

“Yes, sir; I should like to increase my income.”

“Then come round to the People’s Theater with me. They are bringing out a piece of mine where a newsboy is introduced. I guess you can play the part.”

“I’ll try,” said Ben.
