came East and attended fashionable
boarding school for two or three years,

Their, and with his wife. daughter and
soma youth of about eighteen, who Is
nov, at West Point-he is a most de-
lightful companion. He is never too
busy TO be interested in what interests

ine at his own fireside to any other
place. Miss Miles's quick, receptive
mind has always been a source of
pleasure to him. AS a little child he
delighted to guide her reading, and
as she grew older she formed the habit
of reading to him from the books he
enjoyed. In this way she has obtain
