going to send you, and I'll ask him for one of his circulars. Then you'll learn all you want to know about the place."
"Thank you; I'd like to know something about where I am going."
"When the proper time comes, I'll give you a complete outfit for school, and I shall also provide you with necessary spending money," continued Oliver Wadsworth. "I shall not give you too much, because I don't think it is good for any boy."
"I don't want a cent more than I need," answered Dave, earnestly. "I don't want you to spend too much on me. But, oh, Mr. Wadsworth, you are good, no two ways about it."
After this, the matter was talked over for fully an hour longer. Mrs. Wadsworth joined in the discussion and so did Jessie.
"I am glad you have accepted my husband's offer," said the lady to Dave.
"I don't see how anybody could refuse," returned the boy. "I can hardly believe it yet! I thought I'd have to stick to the farm for years!"
"Mind, I want you to come out at the top of the class," put in Jessie. "If you'll do that, I'll treat you like a real brother."
"I'll do my best," answered Dave, soberly.
