goes from one house to the other half a dozen times a day, and is
honored as a "grandpa" by four little boys and girls.

Leo has always been the determined and persevering individual he was in
his youth, when engaged in the "mouse business." As an apprentice, as n
journeyman, as a master machinist, and as an inventor, it has been
"MAKE or BREAK" with him; and, though the parts of his machinery often
did break, and the apparatus failed to do its expected work, he did not
give up; and he conquered in the end, whatever trials and difficulties
interposed.

Mrs. Harding is superlatively happy in her husband, her children, her
foster-father, whom she still lovingly calls "_mon pere_" and in her
noble brother. She calls, at long intervals, upon Mrs. Checkynshaw and
Elinora; and peace reigns between the two houses of Checkynshaw and
Wittleworth. Though she was never happier than when she knew no other
relation than that of the poor man's daughter, she has every reason to
be thankful, and is thankful, to God for the blessings which have come
to her as THE RICH MAN'S DAUGHTER.
