and tucked 1t under his arm. On
reaching home he flung 1t into closet
where his mother kept various odds

Kate remained faithful to each other,

Ing their evenings together. On one
of these occasions Kate exclaimed:

principal reason for selecting the me-
tropoiis as the scene of their future
fortunes was that Alexander Hamil-
ton, her husbands brother, dwelt
therein. and she hoped to benefit by
his advice and assistance.
Alex Hamilton was q rich old bach
elor, full of whims and caprices, and
one of whose great hobbies was that
of collecting interesting extracts from
the current newspapers. No visitor
was so welcome as he who would
draw from his pocket strips of news
papers bearing on the favorite topic
for the time being. Their eccentric
relative received the widow and her
son pleasantly enough. but in a rather
matter-of-fact way. He advised them
to look for inexpensive lodgings, said
that Alfred must try to find something
to do in the city. requested the lad to
pay him weekly visit, and stated that
he would be expected to bring with
him any contributions cut from the
daily papers which he thought would
be of interest to his uncle.
