Pretty nigh twice what I pay as good a man as Labe Keeler for keepin' books a whole year. And Al says he ought to do a story every forni't. I used to jaw his head off, tellin' him he was on the road to starvation and all that. Tut, tut, tut!

And then, one noon, as Captain Zelotes returned to his desk after the walk from home and dinner, Laban Keeler came in and stood beside that desk. The captain, looking up, saw the little bookkeeper's face. "What is it, Labe?" he asked, sharply. Laban held a yellow envelope in his hand. "It came while you were gone to dinner, Cap'n," he said. "Ben Kelley fetched it from the telegraph office himself.

Jess still held on to her brother's wrist, but now she suffered herself to be led across the floor to the hall, reaching which, she let go and sped up stairs. Roy turned at once and laid bis hand on the shoulder of their guest. Some way his fears and suspicions of the man had all departed. "Mr. Keeler," he said, in a firm tone.

The Pesters are a humbly lot. But I didn't think it out loud, and didn't ophold the law for feelin' so. I sez in pityin' tones, for I wuz truly sorry for Cassandra Keeler: "How did it end?" "It hain't ended," sez she, "it only took place a month ago and she has got her grit up and won't pay; and no knowin' how it will end; she lays there amoulderin'."

Keeler, you need not go; you need not go; you must not go, madam. The business I came about concerns you yes, that it does. Bad business yon of Walker's? Eh? Could not help it did all I could, Mr. Wringhim. Done your business. Have it all cut and dry here, sir. No, this is not it Have it among them, though. "No, sir, you are not," said my friend, sternly.

Thinks'es I to myself, I don't believe the law would have been so hard on her if she hadn't been so humbly. The Burpys are a humbly lot. But I didn't think it out loud. And I didn't uphold the law for feelin' so, if it did. No: I says in pityin' tones, for I wus truly sorry for Eunice Keeler, "How did it end?" "It hain't ended," says she.

"Moonstruck? Eh, Mr. Rollin?" inquired Harvey Dole. The fisherman regarded Harvey with a smile of quiet and amused sufferance. "Ah! Mrs. Keeler," said he, with a graceful bow in Grandma's direction; "Mrs.

Lordy! ain't ye most through with this, ma?" Then came the dyeing process, which Grandma Keeler assured me, aside, made Grandpa "look like a man o' thirty;" but to me, after it he looked neither old nor young, human nor inhuman, nor like anything that I had ever seen before under the sun.

He went out soon afterward and then Laban, turning to Albert, asked a few questions. "How do you think you're goin' to like South Harniss, Ansel?" he asked. Albert was tempted to reply that he, Keeler, had asked him that very question before, but he thought it best not to do so. "I don't know yet," he answered, carelessly. "Well enough, I guess." "You'll like it fust-rate bimeby.

It is certainly curious that Barnard at Mount Hamilton, with the most powerful instrument and under the most favorable circumstances, does not see these markings as canals. I can only mention among the problems of the spectroscope the elegant and remarkable solution of the mystery surrounding the rings of Saturn, which has been effected by Keeler at Allegheny.
