Not one person in a thousand of those

least conception of the amount of hard

ing the sensitive fingers over them.
When all of this Braille work has been
completed Miss Keller goes to her type
writer and uses these notes as a guide
to the rewriting of the story.
AS soon as page of matter is type
written it is, so to speak, lost to Miss
Keller. who has to depend upon her
faithful teacher, Miss Sullivan, to re-
peat it to her by spelling out each sem
tence by means of the hands. 1t is d
tedious task, especially as some of the
pages have to be read again and again,
with changes here and there, before
Miss Keller is satisfied. Then, when
the proofs are sent to her, all this slow
process of spelling word after word
has to be gone through once more, so
that each word that Helen Keller
writes goes through her fingers at least
five times. 1t will be a satisfaction to
everybody to know that the book
promises to be one of the most success

and Miss Keller is likely to reap sub
stantial rewards for the extraordinary
ability and patience which she has
shown in her work.

engaged as the conductors OF freight trains.
Needless to say, the trains arrived lighter

Among the officials are twenty-four for

is no class OF crime which is not repre-
