"I'll lend it to you sometimes, Chicky, my son, if you'll promise to be good." "I say, Todd," said Chicky, giving him a quizzical glance, "I'd give a doughnut to know what motto you and Ab chose." Todd grinned. "You won't have much longer to wait," he said. "Time is nearly up, and we'll know our fate in another ten days."
Aside from any ethical consideration, a man makes more in the long run if he cares for the good-will of his customers as well as their cash." "What have you to say on the subject, Mr. Brown?" asked the judge, turning to the proprietor of the livery-stable.

"I may not have as much book-learning as these other gentlemen, but there's one thing that I do know when I see it, and that's a good steady gait either of a horse or a man. Now Chicky is no thoroughbred, and he'll probably never beat the record of them that is, but I've kept an eye on him this summer, and I tell you he's developing the traits that win every time.
"How long are you going to take?" "How can I tell? But I can all the same, I'm not going to take long." "Say you love me do say that." "I should have told you if I didn't." "That's all right, but not so blessed as hearing you say with your own lips you do. Say it say it, Chicky. I won't take advantage of it. I only want to hear it.

I want you at the helm of my life to steer me, Chicky. What couldn't we do together! It's selfish ? it's one-sided, I know that. I get everything you only get me. But I'll try and rise to the occasion.
"What, Bob you here!" said the Prophet to the lusty young man, after shaking hands a little distractedly with Lady Enid. "Yes, old chap. But I'm just off. I know you two want to have a confab," returned Mr. Robert Green, wringing his old school friend's hand. "Niddy's given me the chuck. And anyhow I'm bound to look in at the Bath Club at four to fence with Chicky Bostock." Mr.

"Of course, I'd be glad for Chicky to have it, when he hasn't any home or nothing, but I've worked so hard for it, and I can't help feeling disappointed." All the way home his heart felt as heavy as lead, and, when he came in sight of the little tumble-down cottage, his eyes were blurred with tears for a moment. "Todd, dear," called his mother, running out to meet him, "guess who has been here.
Many a time, when the hot pavements burned his bare feet and he was tired and discouraged, he longed for the wheel which he hoped would some day be his; and every evening, on his way home, he stopped to look in at Stark Brothers' window, to feast his eyes on that bicycle inside. One evening, as he stood looking in, Chicky Wiggins slipped up and slapped him on the back in his friendly way.
