The novel is a classic rags-to-riches story that explores themes of honesty, morality, and self-improvement.""I won't accept it for myself, but I'll tell you something. My chum, Gates, is very hard pushed. You know he depends wholly on himself, and twenty-five dollars just at this time would be a godsend to him. He is worried about paying his bills. If, now, you would transfer a little at your generosity to him.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
