among my kind.
I was a born mechanic. From the
liwre I could walk I used to hang around
Ili. doors al s.itheri.s. The red cin -
dem, as they darted away from under the
blacksmith's hamar, seemed instinct
with life, and I used to long to make
them fiy under my own blows.
I never needed instructin, everything

There was in the city, of which as yet
I was almost an entirestrnger,a wealthy
family of founders,known as Carmichael,
Aon & Company, the Company being
the daughter of the house, famous for
her beautiful creations in bronze.
They lived in an el.vant swell front
on Beacon street. which had long been
regarded by cracksmen as • plum worth

I had scarcely struck the first blow on
my new anvil, when Terwilliger, an old

rid of tura, i at last yielded.
