MeGloud was classmate of Morris Floods at the Boston Tech and the aeauaint- ance begun there continued after the two left school, with scattering fire of letters between the mountains and New England. as few and as far be- ween as mems letters usually scatter ifter an ardent school acquaintance.
 There were just two boys in the Mc- Cloud famiiy=Jchn and George. One had always been intended for the church. the other for science Some
 ow the boys got mixed in their era lies. and John get into the church For teorge, who ought to have been a lergyman, nothing was Jeff but long engineering course for which. after he got it. he appeared 10 have no use. However, ii seemed a little late to hift the life alignments. John had he pulpit and appeared disposed to keep it, and George was left, like a New England farm. to wonder what sad become of himself
 Ii is. nevertheless, odd how matters some about. John McCloud, a pros

He can't do anything put figure elevations, and by heaven. We can't feed our own engineers here now So George found himself stranded in the mountains.
 Morris Blood was cut up over it. but George McCloud took it quietly. s1m no worse off here than I was back there. Morris" Blood, at that. plucked ID courage to ask George to take a job in the Cold Springs mines, and George jumped at it. It was impos- sible to get a white man to live at Cold Springs after he could save money enough to get away so George WIS welcomed as assistant superin- tt ndent at the Number Eight mine, with no salary to speak of and all the work
