At any rate he would go in and look at it. He did not care for a violin, even at the low price marked on the one in the window, but a new pocket-knife might be usefhl; so he walked in and asked to look at pocket-knives. The shop was in charge of a very pleasant old lady of about sixty, who sat sewing behind the little count- er. While she went to the window, and very care- fully reached over the articles displayed therein to get the card of penknives, Mr. Tolman looked about him. The shop was q...uite small, but there seemed to be a good deal in it. There were shelves behird the count- er, and there were shelves on the opposite wall, and they all seemed well filled with something or other. In the comer near the old lady's chair was a little coal stove with a bright fire in it, and at the back of the shop, at the top of two steps, was a glass door partly open, through which he saw a small room, with a red carpet on the floor, and a little table f^parently set for a meal. Mr. Tolman locked at the knives when the old lady showed them to him, and after a good deal of consid- eration he selected one which he thought would be a good knife to give to a boy.
