DO AND DARE

OR

A Brave Boy's Fight for Fortune

BY

HORATIO ALGER, JR.

NEW YORK






CHAPTER I.

THE POST OFFICE AT WAYNEBORO.





"If we could only keep the post office, mother, we should be all
right," said Herbert Carr, as he and his mother sat together in the
little sitting room of the plain cottage which the two had occupied
ever since he was a boy of five.

"Yes, Herbert, but I am afraid there won't be much chance of it."

"Who would want to take it from you, mother?"

"Men are selfish, Herbert, and there is no office, however small,
that is not sought after."

"What was the income last year?" inquired Herbert.

Mrs. Carr referred to a blank book lying on the table in which the
post-office accounts were kept, and answered:

"Three hundred and ninety-eight dollars and fifty cents."

"I shouldn't think that would be much of an inducement to an
able-bodied man, who could work at any business."

"Your father was glad to have it."
