He
wrote
to
Singletree
,
Darnley
&
Co
.
,
offering
to
sell
out
his
rights
in
"
The
Shame
of
the
Sun
"
for
a
hundred
dollars
,
but
they
did
not
care
to
take
the
risk
.
In
the
meantime
he
was
not
in
need
of
money
,
for
several
of
his
later
stories
had
been
accepted
and
paid
for
.
He
actually
opened
a
bank
account
,
where
,
without
a
debt
in
the
world
,
he
had
several
hundred
dollars
to
his
credit
.
"
Overdue
,
"
after
having
been
declined
by
a
number
of
magazines
,
came
to
rest
at
the
Meredith
-
Lowell
Company
.
Martin
remembered
the
five
dollars
Gertrude
had
given
him
,
and
his
resolve
to
return
it
to
her
a
hundred
times
over
;
so
he
wrote
for
an
advance
on
royalties
of
five
hundred
dollars
.
To
his
surprise
a
check
for
that
amount
,
accompanied
by
a
contract
,
came
by
return
mail
.
He
cashed
the
check
into
five
-
dollar
gold
pieces
and
telephoned
Gertrude
that
he
wanted
to
see
her
.
She
arrived
at
the
house
panting
and
short
of
breath
from
the
haste
she
had
made
.
Apprehensive
of
trouble
,
she
had
stuffed
the
few
dollars
she
possessed
into
her
hand
-
satchel
;
and
so
sure
was
she
that
disaster
had
overtaken
her
brother
,
that
she
stumbled
forward
,
sobbing
,
into
his
arms
,
at
the
same
time
thrusting
the
satchel
mutely
at
him
.

"
I
d
have
come
myself
,
"
he
said
.
"
But
I
didn
t
want
a
row
with
Mr
.
Higginbotham
,
and
that
is
what
would
have
surely
happened
.
"
"
He
ll
be
all
right
after
a
time
,
"
she
assured
him
,
while
she
wondered
what
the
trouble
was
that
Martin
was
in
.
"
But
you
d
best
get
a
job
first
an
steady
down
.
Bernard
does
like
to
see
a
man
at
honest
work
.
That
stuff
in
the
newspapers
broke
m
all
up
.
I
never
saw
m
so
mad
before
.
"
"
I
m
not
going
to
get
a
job
,
"
Martin
said
with
a
smile
.
"
And
you
can
tell
him
so
from
me
.
I
don
t
need
a
job
,
and
there
s
the
proof
of
it
.
"
He
emptied
the
hundred
gold
pieces
into
her
lap
in
a
glinting
,
tinkling
stream
.
"
You
remember
that
fiver
you
gave
me
the
time
I
didn
t
have
carfare
?
Well
,
there
it
is
,
with
ninety
-
nine
brothers
of
different
ages
but
all
of
the
same
size
.

If
Gertrude
had
been
frightened
when
she
arrived
,
she
was
now
in
a
panic
of
fear
.
Her
fear
was
such
that
it
was
certitude
.
She
was
not
suspicious
.
She
was
convinced
.
She
looked
at
Martin
in
horror
,
and
her
heavy
limbs
shrank
under
the
golden
stream
as
though
it
were
burning
her
.
"
It
s
yours
,
"
he
laughed
.
She
burst
into
tears
,
and
began
to
moan
,
"
My
poor
boy
,
my
poor
boy
!
"
