How far do you think it is to the West?
gpt
About a hundred miles.
human
It is all of that, said Paul, laughing.
gpt
Now I'll tell you what I would do if I were in your place.
human
What?
gpt
Were you ever in the Newsboys' Lodging House?
human
Lots of times.
gpt
Then you know Mr. O'Connor, the superintendent?
human
Yes; he's very kind to us boys.
gpt
Well, suppose we go round and ask him when the next company of boys starts for the West. You could go with them, and he will find you a place out there. What do you say?
human
I would like to do that,
gpt
Then we will go up at once. I guess my business can wait a little longer.
human
You're very kind to me, said Julius, gratefully.
gpt
You'll lose money goin' round with me so much.
human
No matter for that. It won't ruin me. Besides, you've done me a great service. I ought to be willing to do something for you.
gpt
That ain't nothin'.
human
I think different. Come along; we'll settle this matter at once.
