shop, and was just opposite the warp mill as
the hands were going in from dinner. The
girls were hurrying as onlylaclory girls can
hurry, and Jonathan unaccuslomed 10 such
an array Of plaid shawls and hood bonnets,
deposited his good slick upon the stairs, and
staIked in 10 see what the trouble was
The clatter Of the machinery and the
movements Of the operatives soon absorbed
his whole attention. Being however. of an
turn Of mind and seeing much that
was calculated to perpex one whdse obser-
vatlons in mechanics had been confined to
machines, and corn shelters, he
began to push vigorous inquiries in all direc-
lions. In this way he made himself ac-
quainled successfully, with the external and
internal economy Of Picker 'Boater,'
Lapwinder,' 'Doubler,' and 'Speeder.' By
2 o'clock he had extended his researches as
Jar as the Breakers and 'Finishers.
He reached the latter just as the card

o view, and is seen revolving with very
pretty buzz. Not satisfied with coniempla.

She don't do anything ese,' responded
he s,ripper. 'But you must be careful how
you move around amongst the hardware.
Twas only last week. sir, that a promising
young man from Oxford-a student at The
academy here-was drawn into that very

reach him, he was run through and manu-.

personal danger here shot across our hero's
mind; and he began to retrea, precipitately
without waiting for an answer.
There was not much room TO spare be-
tween himself and the gearing ol the card
behind, another step backwards completed
he ceremony of introduction. His un-
being of large 'calibre,' The
process Of snarling them into knot was no
ways slow. Our hero gave tongue inslan-

The gearing by this time had wound him
up so that he was obliged 10 stand on tip Toe.
His hands were revolving vigorously behind
him, bur he dare not venture them too
near the sea, of war lest they should be
Drawn into hoslilities.
The cald sIripper threw off the belt, but
The momentum Of the cylinder kept i, re-

operation, burst out anew:

The card was stopped at last, but Jona-

that il was no slight job TO extricate him.
Like Olhelo he was not easily moved,
and il was only by cutting out the whole of
The invested territory that he was finally
