I am sure I shall enjoy myself in

    "Jefferson says you are goin' to Montany with him."     "I hope to do so. I am sure I shall enjoy myself in his company."     "How far is Montany, Jefferson?"     "It is over two thousand miles away, Uncle Cyrus."     "It must be almost at the end of the world. I don't see how you can feel at home so far away from Vermont."     Jefferson smiled.     "I can content myself wherever I can make a good living," he said. "Wouldn't you like to go out and make me a visit?"     "No, Jefferson, I should feel that it was temptin' Providence to go so far at my age."     "You never were very far from Burton, Uncle Cyrus?"     "I went to Montpelier once," answered the old man with evident pride. "It is a nice sizable place. I stopped at the tavern, and had a good time."     It was the only journey the old man had ever made, and he would never forget it.     "Uncle Cyrus," said Jefferson, "this is the young man who I thought might advance you money on a new mortgage. Suppose we invite him to go over the farm, and take a look at it so as to see what he thinks of the investment."     "Sartain, Jefferson, sartain! I do hope Mr. Ropes you'll look favorable on the investment. It is Jefferson's idea, but it would be doin' me a great favor."
