Nat Nason, an orphan, was first taken in by his

sells a cow and uses the money to travel to New York City. After several

honest real estate broker. Nat begins as a seven-dollar-a-week clerk in
Mr. Garwell's office and soon rises to the position of secretary. Yet, Mr.

a discovery that changes Nat’s life irreversibly.
