I will call to-morrow and get samples." As Frank left the store, he reflected, with satisfaction: "I have only been a few hours in New York, and I have gotten employment already." This reflection raised his spirits, and disposed him to regard the future with a degree of confidence.

He resolved to spend the rest of the afternoon in walking about in the lower part of the city, and acquiring a little familiarity with the streets, as this was a kind of knowledge he was likely to need.
He strolled down Broadway, admiring the massive and stately structures that lined the streets on either side.

Very soon he came to Trinity Church, and, standing in front it, looked down Wall Street.

He had heard so much of this street that he felt inclined to turn from Broadway and walk down its entire length.
As he sauntered along a man whom he met scrutinized him sharply, as if considering some plan.

Apparently making up his mind, he stepped up to Frank, and, touching him on the shoulder, said: "Boy, would you like a job ?" Now Frank, though he had engaged to work for the Great Pekin Tea Company was ready to accept any other proposal, and answered promptly: "Yes, sir." "That is right," said the man.
