About the Book

Excerpt: ..."No, you needn't think of that. Mamma and grandma both lock their doors at night. And papa's away." "Who sleeps there?" asked Samuel, pointing to the door he had been watching. "That's papa's room," said the child; and the other gave a great gasp of relief. "Come," said the little girl; and she seated herself in one of the big leather armchairs.

"A clergyman!" echoed Samuel aghast. Somehow it seemed far worse to have been robbing a clergyman. "And he's so good and kind!" went on the other. "He loves everyone, and tries to help them. And if you had come to him and told him, he'd have found some work for you." "There are a great many people in Lockmanville out of work," said Samuel gravely. "Oh! but they don't come to my papa!" said the child. "You must come and let him help you. You must promise me that you will." "But how can I? I've tried to rob him!"
