Last Monday the house on the corner of Jay street was burned down to the ground and right down by Mrs. brons house there is a little child all alone and there is a bad man sleeping in the seller, but we have a wise old monkey in the coal ben so the parents are thankful that they don't have to pay any reward.

There was one thing, however, of which this Northland had more than other lands, and that was light. Night must have set in, for the cranes stood sleeping on the morass; but it was as light as day. The sun had not travelled southward, like every other thing. Instead, it had gone so far north that it shone in the boy's face. To all appearance, it had no notion of setting that night.

"Flora," she exclaimed, "how came you here, and did you make this fire and fix the room for me?" "Yes, I made the fire," Flora replied, "and fixed up the things a little, hustlin' that young one's goods out of here; because it was not fittin' for you to be sleepin' with her. Mr. Guy was mad enough when he found it out." "Mr. Guy, Flora? How should he know of our sleeping "rrangements?"

"You were dreaming about a road and something about a wood . . . and a matchbox." "I've been sleeping badly." Olva got up, filled his pipe and relit it.

We need not take the wagon any farther, as it belongs to our sleeping friend, the farmer, but you can go on now to this Northern detachment a raiding party, I presume, but sure to treat you well.

Andrew remembered there was some talk of sending her to England, where she had a half-brother, but that was not on the mother's side. "Cannot something be done with this wicked compromise?
