CHAPTER I
A CHICAGO NEWSBOY
"_News_ and _Mail_, one cent each!"
Half a dozen Chicago newsboys, varying in age from ten to sixteen
years, with piles of papers in their hands, joined in the chorus.
They were standing in front and at the sides of the Sherman House, on
the corner of Clark and Randolph Streets, one of the noted buildings
in the Lake City. On the opposite side of Randolph Street stands a
gloomy stone structure, the Court House and City Hall. In the shadow
of these buildings, at the corner, Luke Walton, one of the largest
newsboys, had posted himself. There was something about his bearing
and appearance which distinguished him in a noticeable way from his
companions.
To begin with, he looked out of place. He was well grown, with a
frank, handsome face, and was better dressed than the average newsboy.
That was one reason, perhaps, why he preferred to be by himself,
rather than to engage in the scramble for customers which was the
habit of the boys around him.
