How Corn was Ground at ONO mime.

How Corn Was Ground at One Time.
The water mill is older than the wind
mill, but prehistoric corn-such wheat,
for instance, as Pytheas the first trav-
eler from civilization to Great Britain,
saw the natives of Kent drying in large
sheds on account Of the absence of sun
was ground in hand mills, as is still
done in the east. Quernes, as these
mills are called, are frequently found
in the cyclopean underground dwell
ings of Scotland. Their simplest form
consists of two thin circular stones, the
upper Of which is pierced in the center
and revolves on wooden or metal pin
inserted in the lower one. The grinder
dropped the grain into the central hole
with one hand while the other caused
the upper stone to revolve by means of
stick inserted in small hole near the
edge.
The righteousness of this operation is
well illustrated by story told of Co.
lumba. He was studying under st. Fin
MAN, and every night on which it fell
to his lot to grind the corn with the
querne he performed his task so quick
~ that his companions enviously as
serted that he had the assistance OF an
angel in turning the stone. Wilson
thinks that at this time (the early part
Of the sixth century, the querne was
the only mill in use. Large water mills
were introduced in the thirteenth CEN
tury into Scotland, and legal means had
to be employed to render their use COM

CHAPTER TX.

I'm ADWAY," said he suddenly.
IK Il need money, and need it
I'M bad. I think you ought to
~ get something out of this job
of the NJ. & D.-not much, but some
thing. Will you give me share Of
what I can collect from them?'
"Surev' agreed the jobber readily
with laugh. "Sure! But you won't
get anything. I'll give you 10 per cent
quick"
"Good enough!' cried Thorpe. Nov.
when we get to town I want your pow
er of attorney and a few figures, after
which will not bother you again"
The next day the young man called
for the second time at the little red
painted Office under the shadow of the
mill and for the second time stood be-
fore the bulky power of the Junior
member of the firm.
"Well, young man, what can do for
you?" asked the latter.
Il have been informed" said Thorne
without preliminary, chat you intend
to pay John Railway nothing for the
work done in the Cass branch this
winter. Is that truc?"
DAILY studied his antagonist medita-
lively. IF it is true what is it to
you?'' he asked at length.
II am acting in Mr.. Railways inter-
est
"You are one of Railways men?''
"Yes.'
''In what capacity have you been
working for him?'
"Cant hook man." replied Thorpe
briefly.
II s:e,'' said DAILY slowly. Then sud
denly, with an intensity of energy that
startled Thorpe, he cried: "Now. you
get out Of here! Right off! Quickv'
The young man recognized the com
polling and autocratic boss addressing

replied, with flash Of fire.

can I get out?''
"Not for wan week." replied the Sis
ter decidedly.
At the end Of the week Thorpe said
goodby to his attendant. He took two
days of tramping the little town to re-
gain the use of his legs and boarded
the morning train for Beeson Lake. He
did not pause in the village, but bent
his steps to the river trail.
He followed the trail by the river.
Butterballs and scoters padded up at
his approach. Bits Of rotten ice occa-

were quantity white-garbed in stiff
winglike colts, fitting close about the
oval of the face. Then Thorpe sighed
comfortably and closed his eyes and
blessed the chance that he had bought

That evening the seven dined together
