called it his parlor, and used his little
shanty for his sleeping room
The mill was not overrun with work,
many days there was nothing to grind
and some days there was no wind even
if there were grists; so Teddy had a
great deal of leisure. But it was some
thing more than just holding down a
claim, he said. and the life was free
and healthy and suited him exactly,
and he began to talk of staying the
whole five years
He had always wanted to learn toplay
the cornet. OF course in town this had
been impossible, but here in his mill
was the very place! So he footed away
merrily, with the comfortable feeling
of disturbing no one that few players
upon that instrument can conscien-
tiously lay claim to.
Late one bleak night in December
Teddy sat in his mill parlor practicing
with a will. He was in unusually good
tune that night. and the crealing of
the mill sails and the shrill whistle o.

Teddy followed the owner of the
voice out into the darkness to a carriage
not far away. from which, with his
help, the man lifted a lady and carried
her into the little parlor. Teddy didn't
stop then TO notice that she was the
loveliest girl he had ever seen, but only
knew that She had tainted, and he
quickly brought brandy, which they
forced down her throat. rubbing her
hands and feet the while. She soon
opened her eyes, and looking wonder
