After he mad sent several papers
containing the results Of his labors he
put in an application for the job. but
he didn't &c: 1t. His ignorance OF local
geography and affairs caused him to
make some very amusing corrections.
but I'm not denying that he found
quite a number of legitimate errors. as
and one can in any daily newspaper.
OF course. l was prejudiced in the

that Of nm uninterested party, but !
thought that was q pretty mean way

remember the remarks Of my old
boss. when l was running the mixing
machine on the lightning hand press,
with which he rushed of the edition Of
24S copies. during the first year of my
apprenticeship.
If he stopped for few minutes to
jolly a'visitor or to hunt around his
bench for a quid Of tobacco that was
being worked overtime, my eyes were
going over the paper. and generally !
had an error to show him. He would
unlock the form and correct II, giving
me baleful looks in which the malevo'
lence was at least an inch thick.
Finally. one day he burst out:

CHAPTER II.
THE OAK CHESTS.

Accustomed from my infancy to
wander unrestrained through the
gloomy rooms and corridors Of Hol-
denhurst Hall, l had fattered myself
that I was familiar with every nook
and corner Of the old mansion.
But my mind was considerably exer-
cised In the endeavor to determine the
whereabouts Of the two oak chests to
which my father had referred IN his
conversation with uncle Sam. did
not remember having ever seen any
such chests. and could think Of no
place from garret to basement which
considered likely 10 contain them.
These thoughts-much confused
with idle speculation concerning
my uncle whose acquaintance
I had Just made. Of my aunt
whom / had not yet seen. and Of
various ideas started by the conversa-
ton Of the two brothers-kept me
awake until long after I had retired to
bed.

/ could not but feel grateful to him
for relieving my father Of what ]
knew had occasicned him some anx-
ietJ. My uncle's wish. too. for q
voice in determining my future course
in life interested me greatly and
opened interminable trains Of thought.
At last I lost consciousness. but did
not sleep soundly nor for long.
When I rose 1t wanted some minutes
to 6 O'Clock. A brilliant streak Of sun
