He seems, by his eagerness. to know that

the means of communication with the

The boy has, however, got hold of the
key of knowledge. He is not one to let
it grow rusty for want Of use. All the
books which his family, or any Of the
nsighboring settlers possess, are read over
and over again during the evenings Of win.
