PREFACE
The story contained in this volume is a record of youthful struggles,
not only in the world without, but in the world within; and the
success of the little hero is not merely a gathering up of wealth and
honors, but a triumph over the temptations that beset the pilgrim on
the plain of life. The attainment of worldly prosperity is not the
truest victory; and the author has endeavored to make the interest of
his story depend more on the hero's devotion to principles than on his
success in business.
