He was of good height for his age, strongly built, and had\u003cbr\u003ea frank, attractive face. He was naturally of a cheerful temperament,\u003cbr\u003ebut at present his face was grave, and not without a shade of anxiety.\u003cbr\u003eThis can hardly be a matter of surprise when we consider that he was\u003cbr\u003ethrown upon his own resources, and that his available capital consisted\u003cbr\u003eof thirty-seven cents in money, in addition to a good education and a\u003cbr\u003erather unusual amount of physical strength.
