The boy who accompanied Rocky up the

suit of cheap clothing had taken the place Of
his rough backwoods attire. His feet, in

proud of him.

il seemed to do the mans heart good to

Never you mind" said Rocky. "Ill bios

They went up two flights Of stairs and then
Rocky opened door. The air of the room

to see you. When did you strike town."

swiftly down from the floor above. 1t was

as the fiat form did, was taken out OF the
mold the matrix removed, and the metal
plate placed upon an iron cylinder.
Two men with a plane, a mallet and a
ollise soon smoothed and trimmed the edges.
Then it was placed in lathe, its interior sur
face turned perfectly smooth and even and a
stereotpyed form was ready to be placed upon
the press, the whole operation requiring not
more than fifteen minutes.
Rob watched them as plate after plate was
made from the same matrix.
II should think that melted lead would
burn the paper" he said, but it doesn't seem
to-"
He saw them throw plates that had been
used into the cauldron, and noticed how quick
ly they melted in the terrific heat, like snow
balls in the hot sun.
''Now Wen go down and see them print the
papers," said Rocky. Come this way"
He. stepped into an elevator, and Rob fol-
lowed him timidly. They stood upon the
little platform, which descended rapidly, and
Rob heard dismal clanking sound far be
low as they went down into the darkness
Soon they came into the basement of the
building, where gas-jets burned night and day.

the boy could count, neatly printed and fold
