Page I
All the world must know that Two Shoes was not her real name. No; her father's name was Meanwell, and he was for many years a well-to-do farmer.
While Margery (for that was her real name) was yet a little girl her father became very poor. He was so poor that at last he and Margery's mother and Margery and her little brother were all turned out of doors. They did not have a roof to cover their heads.
Margery's father felt so unhappy that at last he died, and only a few days later Margery's mother died too. Poor little Margery and her brother were left alone in the wide world.
Their sorrow would have made you pity them, but it would have done your heart good to see how fond they were of each other. They always went about hand in hand, and when you saw one you were sure to see the other.
Look at them in the picture.
They were both very ragged, and though Tommy had two shoes, Margery had but one.
They had nothing, poor little things, to live upon but what kind people gave to them. Each night they lay on the hay in just such a bar as you see here.
