IN WHICH BOBBY'S AIR CASTLE IS UPSET AND TOM SPICER TAKES TO THE WOODS During the next four weeks Bobby visited various places in the vicinity of Boston; and at the end of that time he had paid the whole of the debt he owed Squire Lee.

He had the note in his memorandum book, and the fact that he had achieved his first great purpose afforded him much satisfaction.

Now he owed no man anything, and he felt as though he could hold up his head among the best people in the world.
The little black house was paid for, and Bobby was proud that his own exertions had released his mother from her obligation to her hard creditor.

Mr.Hardhand could no longer insult and abuse her.
The apparent results which Bobby had accomplished, however, were as nothing compared with the real results.

He had developed those energies of character which were to make him, not only a great business man, but a useful member of society.
