Julius made the rope fast, and then boldly got out of the window and swung off Slow and Sure THE STORY OF PAUL HOFFMAN THE YOUNG STREET-MERCHANT By HORATIO ALGER, JR. Author of "The Train Boy," "Tony the Hero," "Tom Turner's Legacy," "Tom the Bootblack," etc., etc. A. L. BURT COMPANY, PUBLISHERS NEW YORK PREFACE. "SLOW AND SURE" is a volume of the stories of New York street life inaugurated by Ragged Dick. While it chronicles the advancement of Paul, the young street merchant, from the sidewalk to the shop, a large portion of it is devoted to the experiences of a street waif, who has been brought up by burglars, and passed the greater part of his time among them, without being wholly spoiled by his corrupt surroundings.
