Frank tried to think, and at last he said. "I reckon I should have cared."

"And if it had been your own money, would you have been more anxious about

it than about your brother?"

This time Frank was more puzzled than ever; he really did not know what to

say.

His father said: "The trouble with money is, that people who have a great

deal of it seem to be more anxious about it than they are about their

brothers, and they think that the things it can buy are more precious than

the things which all the money in the world cannot buy." His father stood

up. "Better go to bed, Frank. You must be tired. There won't be any

thunder-storm to-night, and you haven't got a pocketful of money to keep

you awake."
