One day Sammy Hartlow went with his mother to visit some friends. They rode in a horsecar; for the friends lived in a suburban city, and the distance was several miles.
When they entered there were only a few seats empty. Mrs. Hartlow sat down, and let Sammy kneel on the seat beside her, to look out at the window.
Presently a gentleman came in and looked for a seat. As the car was nearly full, Mrs. Hartlow took Sammy down, and beckoned the gentleman to the vacant place. "Why did you do that?" asked the lady on her other side. "Let the child keep his place. How he was enjoying it! "
