II was the first time he had seen
Samson smile. and. although the ex-

When, an hour later, the two set
out, the mountain boy carried the par
aphernalia and the old man standing
at the door watched them of with a
halfquizzical. half-disapproving glance.
AS the boy, with remarkable apti-
tude, learned how to adjust the easel
and arrange the paraphernalia, Lescott
sat drinking in through thirsty eyes
the stretch of landscape he had deter.
mined to paint.
Then, while he painted, the boy held
the palette, his eyes riveted on the
canvas, which was growing from a
blank to mirror of vistas-and the
boys pupils became deeply hungry.
The day Of painting was followed
by others like it. The disabling Of
Lescott's left hand made the constant
companionship of the boy a matter

though not a matter Of approval to his
uncle.
Another week had passed without

Steel Barrels for Russia.

the war has sent to this country has
been obtained by the Pressed Steel
company of Sharon, Pa 1t is from
the Russian government, and is for
100000 steel barrels for use in the
Russian and Galician oil regions, and
the best part of II is that hundreds
of thousands Of these barrels are
needed, and have hitherto been OBJ
tanned in Germany. The Sharon con-
cern will run day and night for many
weeks to fill this order, which, II is
believed, will be followed by many
more of the same sort, for Russia
can hardly get the barrels from any
other country.
