Did you write it, Walton ?" "Yes, air." "Why didn't you tell me of it ?" "He was too bashful," said Ferguson.
"I am glad to know that you can write," said the editor.

"I shall call upon you for assistance, in getting up paragraphs occasionally." "I shall be very glad to do what I can," said Harry, gratified.
"Harry is learning to be an editor," said Ferguson.
"I will give him a chance for practice, then," and Mr.Anderson returned to his exchanges.
"By the way, Oscar," said Harry, "I am not a printer's devil any longer.

I am promoted to be a journeyman." "I congratulate you, Harry, but what will Fitz do now?
He used to take so much pleasure in speaking of you as a printer's devil." "I am sorry to deprive him of that pleasure.

Did you see much of him in vacation, Oscar ?" "I used to meet him almost every day walking down Washington Street, swinging a light cane, and wearing a stunning necktie, as usual." "Is he coming back this term ?" "Yes, he came on the same train with me.

Hasn't he called to pay his respects to you ?" "No," answered Harry, with a smile.
