It was considerably past Mrs. Carter and Robert had i'waiting tor him roir dinner. The mail had brought Robert an notice of his success in the contest; consequently, he was In a State of ecstasy. He assisted Silas im stabling the horses, then they pro ceeded to dinner. For the first time in his life Silas Carter gaxed on Rob ert with a feeling of prfue. For the first time he felt a love for Robert. He had noticed the bright look on the boy’s face, and had guessed the reason. It made him feel happy.

The hundred dollars ye’ll git fer yer, prise is ter star: a bank ac count of yer own. Now, d’ye s’pose we kin git things rigged up so ye kin •tart in after the holidays?” It was indeed a happy boy that left the Carter home a few weeks lat er to begin a college course—the goal of his am bilion Splendid Stowing Made by Runners Mercantile and Warehouse Go.
