The matter was arranged, and Harry was
duly installed into the hospitable family of
Ludwig Kramer; so that at this point ofI
our narrative, Mosquito Valley School had
teacher, and Ludwig had his choice.
But here let me premise that Harry White
was Springfield Mass, boy, who had a
bandored his home and friends in conse-
quence Of the disgrace attendant upon his
expulsion from College, for the crime of
sticking large cat into the valve of the col
lege pump, and thereby causing the water
to become putrid to the great annoyance of
the faculty and janitors. A harsh step faith
er also caused Harry to dread returning to
his home, and with no other ceremony than
an attectlona!e letter to his mother, he wan
dered away until he found himself? settled
for six months in the situation we have de-
I scn6ed.
The fall work being completed on Lud-
wigs farm, his daughters, Blanche and K;,-

attend to domestic duties but it was evil

from an inner room, and he, going as she de-
sired, found a cheerful fire blazing and crack

in reserve beside it, and huge arm chair
Immediately in front of the fire. In this
Katrine was sitting, and gathering up her
ample pettlcoats to show him there was
abundance of room, invited him To share he,

ter, who, it seems old Ludwig had sent of
to bed, but as he afterwards told me, think
ing that a half loaf was better than nc
bread, he accepted the invitation, and seated
himself by her side. In short time they
were in close conversation, and Harry, find

collar, could do no less than span her waist
