During this space of time, We may easily imag.
inc that the mill was rot allowed to grow rusty
aud when harvest time came, the brother had it
given him, only the other had taken good care not
to tell him how to manage il.
IL was evening when the rich brother brou ght
the mill home. and on the following morning he
told his wife that she might 20 into the field with
the reapers and that he would meanwhile prepare
the DINNER. Towards midday he placed the mill
on the kitchen table.

So the mill began TO turn out behring's and milk,
till all the dishes and pots and pans were filed,
and at last the kitchen was completely flooded.
The man kept twisting and turning the mill but, |
do what he would, the mill did not cease grinding,
and at length the milk had risen so high that he
was in danger Of Leing drowned. lilo now tore

unless the other counted him out three hundred
pounds more and AS there was no help for it, the
rich man was faln to pay him the money. So,
now that the poor brother had money as well as
the mill, he built n housc that was far handsomer
than the one his brother inhabited With the
help of the mill, he collected so much gold, and as
the house stood near the shore, it could be seen
shining from a great distance at sea. All who
sailed near the coast were sue to anchor in the
neighburhood and pay q visit to the rich man in
the Golden house, in order to see tho wonderful
mill.
One day, n captain, who, like so many others
had come to see the mill, inquired after looking a

The captain wanted to purchase it at any price
"for" thought he, ''if | had this mill, | shoulC

the heap Of salt grew higher, till it finished b
