gave Marcus and some wedding to do
in the garden. 1t was Wednesday after
noon; and we had laid our plans for
something else. Marcus, fretted and
ill-humored at his Disappointment, did
not more than half do his work; and
began pretty much like him, until
grandfather's advice came into my mind
and | determined to follow it. In word,

The good housewife, when she is Civ

At this time j. Edgar Thomson had
become the cOmpany's chief engineer.
Talking one day with DR.. Given, former
collector of tolls at Columbia, and then
holding a contract with the Pennsyl-
yania railroad, he asked if the latter
could recommend to him man to act as
station agent at Duncansville, on the
Allegheny mountains, then the western
terminus of the road. The station agent
was to have charge of the transfer of
passengers and freight between the cars
of the Pennsylvania company and those
OF the state road.

brusquely, II don't hink you will suit

"That doesn't make darned bit OF

Thomson as the young man was walk
