He enquired of Belton his history, training, etc.

He also asked as to his plans for the future.

Finding that Belton was desirous of securing a college education, but was destitute of funds, Mr.King gladly embraced the opportunity of displaying his kind interest.

He offered to pay Belton's way through college, and the offer was gladly accepted.
He told Belton to call at his home that evening at seven o'clock to receive a check for his entire college course.

At the appointed hour Belton appeared at Mr.King's residence.
Mr.King was sitting on his front porch, between his wife and aged mother, while his two children, a girl and boy, were playing on the lawn.
