A Boy with a Mission
In 1945, a 12-year-old boy saw something in a shop window that set his heart racing. But the price — five dollars — was far beyond Reuben Earle's means. Five dollars would buy almost a week' s groceries for his family.
Reuben couldn't ask his father for the money. Everything Mark Earle made through fishing in Bay Roberts, Newfoundland, Canada. Reuben's mother, Dora, stretched like elastic to feed and clothe their five children.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop's weathered door and went inside. Standing proud and straight in his flour-sack shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper Hublot Replica Watches what he wanted, adding, "But I don't have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time?"
"I'll try," the shopkeeper smiled. "Folks around here don't usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should keep for a while."
Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out into the sunlight with the bay rippling in a freshening wind. There was purpose in his loping stride. He would raise the five dollars and not tell anybody. Hearing the sound of hammering from a side street, Reuben had an idea.
He ran towards the sound and stopped at a construction site. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails purchased in hessian sacks from a local factory. Sometimes the sacks were discarded in the flurry of building, and Reuben knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece.
That day he found two sacks, which he took to the rambling wooden factory and sold to the man in charge of packing nails.
The boy's hand tightly clutched the five-cent pieces as he ran the two kilometers home. Near his house stood the ancient barn that housed the family's goats and chickens. Reuben found a rusty soda tin and dropped his coins inside.
Then he climbed into the loft of the barn and hid the tin beneath a pile of sweet smelling hay.
It was dinner time when Reuben got home. His father sat at the big kitchen table, working on a fishing net. Dora was at the kitchen stove, ready to serve dinner as Reuben took his place at the table.
He looked at his mother and smiled. Sunlight from the window gilded her shoulder-length4 blonde hair. Slim and beautiful, she was the center of the home, the glue that held it together.
Her chores5 were never-ending. Sewing clothes for her family on the old Singer treadle machine, cooking meals and baking bread, planting and tending a vegetable garden, milking the goats and scrubbing soiled clothes on a washboard. But she was happy. Her family and their well-being6 were her highest priority.
Every day after chores and school, Reuben scoured the town, collecting the hessian nail bags. On the day the two-room school closed for the summer, no student was more delighted than Reuben. Now he would have more time for his mission.
All summer long, despite chores at home weeding and watering the garden, cutting wood and fetching water — Reuben kept to his secret task.
Then all too soon the garden was harvested, the vegetables canned and stored, and the school reopened. Soon the leaves fell and the winds Hublot Replica blew cold and gusty from the bay. Reuben wandered the streets, diligently searching for his hessian treasures.
Often he was cold, tired and hungry, but the thought of the object in the shop window sustained him. Sometimes his mother would ask: "Reuben, where were you? We were waiting for you to have dinner."
"Playing, Mum. Sorry."
Dora would look at his face and shake her head. Boys.
Finally spring burst into glorious green and Reuben's spirits erupted. The time had come! He ran into the barn, climbed to the hayloft and uncovered the tin can. He poured the coins out and began to count.
Then he counted again. He needed 20 cents more. Could there be any sacks left any where in town? He had to find four and sell them before the day ended.
Reuben ran down Water Street.
The shadows were lengthening when Reuben arrived at the factory. The sack buyer was about to lock up.
"Mister! Please don't close up yet."
The man turned and saw Reuben, dirty and sweat stained.

Scribner's Sons Subjects: History / General Notes: This is a black and white OCR reprint of the original. It has no illustrations and there may be typos or missing text.

Excerpt: CHAPTER IV MISS PENNY lived near Farleigh Academy in the South Hollow in a typical old-fashioned farmhouse. Painted white with green shutters, the main part of the building had two stories and an attic, and the ell two stories and a half. It stood back from the highway only a few rods, a flagged walk bordered by continuous flower-plots leading from the neat gate in the picket fence to the old- fashioned porch over the front door. There was a large orchard on one side. On the other, beyond the ell and nearer the street, was a tiny red building known as the shop and scarcely opened these days. Farther back was a great red barn with cupola and weather-vane, beyond which was a garden and several acres of rich land. Within, the house was as comfortable and homely as might have been expected. Rag carpets, braided rugs, padded arm-chairs, chintz-covered rockers, old-fashioned pictures, framed mottoes worked in worsted on canvas, roomy sofas, afghans, and hassocks were hospitably apparent everywhere except in the parlor. And even there, a brilliant Brussels carpet that had to be protected from strong sunlight, furniture upholstered in haircloth, and wax flowers under glass couldn't banish the prevailing impression of simple comfort. The kitchen was perhaps the most attractive room in the house. Occupying the greater part of the ground floor of the ell, it was large and pleasant and served the purposes of a living-room as well. Windows on opposite sides insured the sun all day in winter, a draft in summer, and framed two charming landscapes... |
