And no better man walks on theE:

curious to see him."
1T is good sign of man when peo-

And they drove on, nothing telling
them that they had or ever would have
any personal interest in the managers
house or its inmates.
VIII Bertram and his sister were
standing outside their garden by the
waterside, talking and laughing for a
few minutes, and they saw the wagon
ette pass along the road with no sense OF
affinity or even curiosity; many car
riages passed every day, and thas was
simply one of them. VIII went rapidly
across the narrow foot bridge that took
him the shortest road to the mill, and
Katie spent the forenoon about the gar
jen. After dispatching that meal and
seeing her mother comfortably settled
for a rest, she set off TO walk mile or
two to see a friend She had not been
gone quarter of an hour when boy
came from the mill (the same
who had given Mr.. Bertram such a
high character) with a note, which
said: Dear Katie-Some people have
been seeing the mill; / must bring
them in. Could you get something
for them to eat?-there are four. W. Is. T"
Bat Katie was gone beyond recall Mrs.
Bertram read the note. and got some
thing ready for the strangers to eat.
The strangers were the Wrights and
their relative. They had been 10 The
Hawthorns. which had exceeded their
expectations as dwelling place. and the
owner seeing his proposed tenants num-
Der but three. with no children, WAS not
difficult 10 deal with; the right Of fishing
was eliminated without q word, and Mr.
Wright got the rcnt screwed down near

all in good spirits when they came back

'Yes, and | shall be very happy TO

You seem to manage well; you have
a good going concern here. How much,
now, may you turn out week.
"Oh, well, an ordinary machine turns
out about four miles a day"
Miles of paper.' exclaimed Miss
Wright. What in the world do they
do with it all:"
Write love letters On il, Sarah" said
her father, laughing at his own joke.
Newspapers use immense quantities.
said VIII; we send 1t I'll over the world
for newspapers"
Il dare say paper and printing must
have been invented together" Sarah said
''No." answered Mr. Bertram, paper
