6 And so the days pass in the only environ- ment he knows.

7 "Come on up, the old gal will be tickled to see yer!"

19 "I think we'd better be getting out of here."

20 "It's right down here that schools and hospitals -- and friends are needed! Charity begins at home -- right in this town!"

34 "Don't forget he "

35 "That's a lie! There warn't nobody with me!"

36 "Very fine and loyal, my boy, but you can't save your friend, and you have lost what- ever chance you had -- with her."

37 "I guess it's all right to tell you where he is. He's upstairs."

38 "Go back, my boy, and keep up the good work. We are proud of you."

39 The journey homeward.

40 "She lies here, this girl o'mine, but her soul, the noblest and purest thing I ever knew, lives on in me. It was she, my Mamie Rose, who taught me that within me was a mind and a God-given heart. She made of my life a changed thing and never can it be the same again!"
