Chester retains the friendship and good opinion of his first friend, Carl Conrad, and is a favorite visitor at the house of Prof. Hazlitt, whose great work has just appeared from the press of a subscription publisher. His nephew, Arthur Burks, is now in college, and he and Chester remain intimate friends.
Silas Tripp has ceased to expect to secure the services of Chester in his store. He had never been able to understand the secret of Chester’s success, but has been heard to remark: “It does beat all how that boy gets along!”
Fortunately, prosperity has not spoiled Chester. He is still the same modest and warm-hearted boy, or perhaps I should say young man, and his friends all agree that he deserves his success.
THE END.
