Mary grew very red indeed, but answered
readily, cob! that's long way off; and be-
sides, he may not think this out of civilization,
you know"
so it was settled One of the clerks who
had been from early childhood in Ames and |
Narden's store had been long intending to start
out on his own account, and Dick was very
sure that they could fulfll their olden dream
of partnership, now that DR.. Heremore was
willing to give them a start Dick went down
to New York the day after this conversation,
between the members of the firm, and the two
clerks, which eliminated in dinner and the
agreement that all was to go on as it had been
going, until the 6rst of May, when there would
, | be q new booksellers firm in the New York
Dir ectory, to wit, Barnes and Heremore.
After brief nversation with Mr.. Brandon,
. Dick hurried~to Carlton, and was not long
, making his way to the shadowy lane. To her
il honor and glory be it said, Trot was the first
q to see him; and without waiting for greet
:. ing, not even for the expected " dear little
Titten," ran with all speed into the house,
, crying, "Thishter! Thishter! Mr.. Dit it'll
W coming!" at the top of her voice; and Rose,
T. all biushng at being caught "jast as abe was,
m had no time to utter word before 4" Mr.. Dit, ,
~ was beside her. There great rejoicing
N over Dick; the children pulled him in every

NJ not yet seen, until he began to tell the story
n of his adventures, when they stood around ii
perfect silence. Mrs. Alaine and Mrs. Stof
wiped their eyes between their smiles ant
no ordinations of delight; old Carl once hell
at his pipe in one hand and forgot to fill it fo
w. nearly o minute, SO absorbed was he; but Ros

had said, with beaming eyes and poor Dick
ideas of YOUTH" and " time to get ready
-, and all that sort of remark, were put asid
without the least consideration. " We wi
have little house of our own" Dick continue
I'VE will not go to boarding, as some poop

am sure; and as New York has no houses f

and Dick was a very busy young man for couI
