Say!" he suddenly cried, as an inspiration struck him, "you ain't got anything agin the mill at Royal, or agin Skeelty, have you ?" "I have, sir!" declared Patsy, raising her head to frown discouragingly upon the Honer'ble Ojoy.

"Mr.Skeelty is acting in a very disagreeable manner.

He has not only boycotted our paper and refused to pay for the subscriptions he engaged, but I understand he is encouraging his workmen to annoy the Millville people, and especially this printing office." "Well--durn--Skeelty!" ejaculated Mr.Boglin, greatly discomposed by this statement.

"But I'll fix all that, Miss Doyle," he added, eagerly.
"Skeelty's my partner and he's got to do what I say or I'll make trouble for him.

You dicker with me for the support of your paper and I'll guarantee a hundred subscriptions from Royal and get you an apology from Skeelty and a promise he'll behave an' keep his men to home.
