"I am afraid all rich men don't feel so," said Paul.

"No; riches are apt to harden the heart, while they should soften it. I am glad to think that there are many who feel with me. But to return to your prospects. I infer that if you were offered a position paying you as well as this train service you would accept it. Am I right?"

"Yes, sir."

"How much do you make on an average?"

"Daily or weekly, sir?"

"Weekly."

Paul considered a moment, and answered:

"Eight dollars."

"Very good; then I will give you a chance to better yourself. I will take you into my employ, dating from yesterday."

"And give me eight dollars a week?" asked Paul, eagerly.
