Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Mother Stories Alexander Skelly was born in a beautiful home, and his start in life was all that could be wished, from the standpoints Of wealth, education, and social position. A gentleman by birth and train ing, he had the added gift Of a bright mind, blessed with many of those talents that can turn education to the best advantage. Many a fair ship, however, that sails out Of the harbor Of promise into life's sea with the sunshine on its white sails and flaunt ing colors, is swept into dangerous shoals and bat tered by unexpected gales until it becomes a broken, storm-tossed wreck before the tide Of life has car ried it far from the starting-point. Perhaps life was too easy for him; too much money was his to spend. Anyway, before he had reached his ma jority he had flung his fair chance to the winds, taken the helm into his own hands and made a most dismal shipwreck Of fair name and fortune. Real izing that he had brought disgrace upon his family, and having no hope Of retrieving his wrong acts, he left the land Of his birth, determined to begin over again among strangers.
