A Tale of the Tow-Path
Homer Greene
Book Overview:
All work and no play makes 14-year-old Joe Gaston run away. He's also falsely branded as a horse-thief by his own father. This heart-warming story tells of Joe's wanderings and life on the tow-path, of finding Old Charlie and the real horse-thief, how his name is cleared, and his return home. This book, published in 1892, is the third written by Homer Greene, whose primary profession was law. His novels generally include a legal transgression with an interrogation or court-room scene.

“What makes you think he whipped me?” asked Joe.
“Because, I—I heard him tell Mother so.”
“What did Mother say?”
“Oh, she cried, and she said she was sorry it had to be done. Did he whip you hard, Joe?”
“Pretty hard, but it’s the last time. He’ll never whip me again, Jennie.”
“Are you going to be a better boy?”
“No, a worse one.”
Jennie stood for a moment silent and[13] wondering at this paradoxical statement. Then an idea flashed into her mind.
