at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - Near the end of my fourteenth year I
was apprenticed to Valentine, King & Co., cotton importers,
Liverpool, as a "pair of legs." My father had died suddenly,
leaving me and his property in the possession of my stepmother and
my guardian. It was in deference to their urgent advice that I left
my home in London (with little reluctance, since my life there had
never been happy) to study the art of money-making. On arriving at
the scene of my expected triumphs I was assigned to the somewhat
humble position of errand boy. In common with other boys who
performed a like service for the firm I was known as "a pair of
legs." Lodgings of a rather modest character had been secured for
me in the western outskirts of the city near the banks of the
Mersey. I was slow to make friends, and my evenings were spent in
the perusal of some story books, which I had brought with me from
London. One night, not long after the beginning of my new life in
Liverpool, I was lying in bed listening to the wind and rain
beating over the housetops and driving against the windows, when
suddenly there came a loud rap at my door.
Yonder up in the hills are men and women, white-haired, who love to
tell of that time when the woods came to the door-step and God's
cattle fed on the growing corn. Where, long ago, they sowed their
youth and strength, they see their sons reaping, but now, bent with
age, they have ceased to gather save in the far fields of memory.
Every day they go down the long, well-trodden path and come back
with hearts full. They are as children plucking the meadows of
June. Sit with them awhile, and they will gather for you the
unfading flowers of joy and love-good sir the world is full of
them. And should they mention Trove or a certain clock tinker that
travelled from door to door in the olden time, send your horse to
the stable and God-speed them -it is a long tale, and you may
listen far into the night. "See the big pines there in the dale
yonder?" some one will ask. "Well, Theron Allen lived there, an'
across the pond, that's where the moss trail came out and where you
see the cow-path-that's near the track of the little red sleigh."

Rome had passed the summits and stood looking into the dark valley
of fourteen hundred years. Behind her the graves of Caesar and
Sallust and Cicero and Catullus and Vergil and Horace; before her
centuries of madness and treading down; round about her a m
Before turning to novel-writing himself, Irving Bacheller
(1859-1950) syndicated the writings of Joseph Conrad, Arthur Conan
Doyle and Rudyard Kipling for American readers and introduced
Stephen Crane's Red Badge of Courage to the public. Compared to Ben
Hur at the time of its release, Dawn imagines the story of the
woman to whom Jesus said, "Go and sin no more."
