"Have you been able to save up anything lately?"
"Yes, sir; I have twenty-six dollars on depost in another bank."
"Very good. You are, then, provided for in any case of emergency."
Henry went back to work.
His reflections, as may be imagined, were very pleasant. He figured up what he was worth, and it stood thus:
Six-penny Savings Bank.................... $35 00
Second bank account....................... 26 00
Proceeds of venture (net)................. 91 25
———-
$152 25
Thus he figured up a grand total of one hundred and fifty-two dollars and twenty-five cents, making a gain in three months of one hundred and seventeen dollars and twenty-five cents.
"Why, at this rate," thought Henry, "I shall soon be rich."
