The ragged and dirty suit which he wore as bootblack were the best he had. His face and hands generally bore the marks of his business, and as long as he made enough to buy three meals a day, two taken at the Lodging House, with something over for lodging, and an occasional visit to a cheap theater, he was satisfied.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
