which insures evenly distributed
heat and a sufficient supply of fresh
warm air to every pupil in every
part of the building.
1t is one of the most encouraging
signs of the times in this county
that the parents and school authori-
ties begin to see not only the me-
cessity of providing sufficient school
room for the pupils. but also bay
ing attention to matters of such
vital Importance to the physical
welfare Of the children as proper
heating. ventilation and light.

on being the leader in this reform

CHAPTER Ky

Walter, by advice of Mr.. Pusher,
bought ticket to Cleveland. There was
a resident agent in this city, and a de-
pository of books published by the firm
As Walter would be unable to carry with
him as large supply of books as he
needed, he was authorized to send to the
Cleveland agency when he got out, and
the books would be sent him by express.
"I will give you letter to Mr.. Greene,
our agent in Cleveland" said Mr.. Pusher,
''and you can consult him as to your best
field of operations"
Walter went downstairs. and emerged
into the street. He had no particular
motive for remaining in New York, and
felt eager to commence work. So he
bought through ticket to Cleveland, via
Buffalo and Niagara Falls. Though he
had not much money to spare, he deter
mined not to neglect the opportunity he
would have of seeing this great natural
wonder, but to stop over day in order
to visit the falls.
He selected comfortable seat by
window, and waited till the train was
ready to start. He realized that he had
engaged in quite large enterprise for
boy of fifteen who had hitherto had all
his wants supplied by others. He was
about to 90 a thousand miles from home,
to earn his own living-'in other words,
to paddle his own canoe. But he did not
feel In the least dismayed. He was am
bitious and enterprising, and he felt con-
fident that he could earn his living as we'll
az other boys Of his age. He had never
been far from home, but felt that he
should enjoy visiting new and unfamiliar

Oatmeal Water,

A simple but efficacious spring medi-
cine is oatmeal water To make a
tablespoonful of any steam-cooked va
riety is put at night into glassful Of
water and let stand until morning. The
liquid is then thoroughly stirred and
strained off, the water being drunk as
soon as one gets out of bed. This
decoction may be taken every morning
Of the year, and undoubtedly has vir-
tues.

larly to see him?"
"Yes, SIR"
Take a seat then, and wait till he
comes in"
Walter sat down and listened to the
conversation.
"You met with fair success, then?" in
quired Mr.. Flint.
"Yes, the book takes well. l sold ten
in one day, and six and eight in other
days"
Walter pricked up his ears. He won
dered whether the book was the one rec
commended to him. If SO, a sale Of ten
copies would enable the agent to realize
twelve dollars and a half, which was GER
tainly doing very well.
Just as the agents were going out, Mr..
Pusher hustled in. His sharp eyes fell
upon Walter, whom he Immediately rec
ognized.
"Ha, my young friend, so you have
found us out" he said, offering his hand.
Yes, SIR"
"Come to talk on business, hope"
'Yes, sir, that is my object in coming"
"Mr. Flint" said Mr.. Pusher, this is
young MnOot 4
made short time since. | told him, If
ever he wanted employment, TO come
here, and we would give him something
to do"
Mr.. Flint, who was a slower and a
more cautious man than Mr.. Pusher, re-
garded Walter little doubtfully.
DO you mean as an agentF" ne said.
Certainly l do"
"1e seems very young"
That's true, but age isn't always an
advantage. He looks smart, and I'll guar
antee that he is all he looks. l claim
to be something of judge Of human ma
ture, too"
mo doubt you're right" said Mr.. Flint,
who was accustomed to defer considerably
to his more impetuous partner. Whats

my name is Walter Conrad" said our
hero.
"Very good Well, Conrad" contin-
ued Mr.. Pusher, In an off-hand manner,
what are your wishes? What book do
you want to take hold Off"
You mentioned n book the other day
Scenes in Bible Lands"
"Yes, our new book. That would be
as good as any to begin on. How's the
territory, Mr. Flint"
Most of the territory nearby is taken
up," he said Does Mr.. Conrad wish to
operate near homer"
"I would rather 60 to distance" said
Walter.
"As far as Ohio?"
YES"
"In that case you could map out your
own route pretty much. We haven't got
the West portioned out as we have the
Middle and New England States"
I'm other words, we can give you
kind of rowing commission, Conrad put
in Mr. Pusher
THAT would suit me. sir" said Walter.
"Still it would be best not to attempt
to cover too much territory. A rolling
stone gathers no moss, you know. There
is one important question l must ask you
to begin with. Have you got any money!
Yes. sir, have fifty dollars"
Good. OF course, you will need money
to get out to your field of labor. and will
have to pay your expenses till you begin
to earn something Fifty dollars will an
swer very WELL"
"As / don't know very well how the
business is managed" said Walter, Il
must ask for instructions"
"Of course. You're a green hand. Sit
down here, and I'll make it all plain to
YOU"
So Mr.. Pusher,\ in his BRIEF incisive
way, explained to Walter how he must
manage. His instructions were readily
comprehended and Walter, as he listened,
felt eager to enter upon the adventurous
career which he had chosen. -
