Then they open carriage doors near a large theater, but receive nothing for their pains. Each moment counts and they must devise some means of obtaining money without delay. The elder boy conceives a plan. He quickly leads his brother to a lonely spot, where he strips the little fellow of most of his clothing, in order to make him look wretched; he then directs him to the terrace of a fashionable restaurant to beg from the sumptuously dining guests. At first the waiters endeavor to drive the lad away, but he is so persistent, and cries so pitifully that at last they leave him along. His brother, who has been watching meanwhile, when the proper time arrives, steps forward and striking an attitude, hands his little brother the few cents he has, saying, "Take that from me, old man. It will bring you luck!" The onlookers are both amused and touched at such a manly demonstration of kindness, and, not to be outdone by the lad, they shower currency upon the miserable little beggar. At last, the boys steal away toward their home, overjoyed. An old gentleman who has been observing the children, sees through their ruse, and follows them home; where he learns the circumstances, and the generous old fellow makes sure that the mother and children shall not be in want for some time to come.
