A "Schon nicht wahr," makes us aware that we have a new companion, and the dearest copy of Louis the Six- teenth, even to the curly head powdered like a wig, stands by us, smiling at our enjoyment. 'Tis Johann Wirt, the miller, and he nods and bids us "Herein," and under the wide low stone archway, with 1 825 cut into its keystone, we pass into a most picturesque inte- rior. The floor is of clean grey flagstones, worn by the tread of busy feet; great wooden pillars support the low ceiling, and ...a gentle sound of slow grinding greets our ears, as with pride Johann shows us the revolving mill- stones and the trickle of golden meal. It is etiquette to take some in your fingers and to say how much better and sweeter it is than the corn meal offered for sale in city stores. With a smile of recollection, in- dulgent of my usual idiocy, Johann says "Herauf ?" and we climb a wide wooden stair into another big, low room, bare, save for the wooden hopper piled high with corn, that feeds the stones below, and for piles of empty bags dating some of them back to 1810 and 1815, and with a sigh of joy we sit on the floor in the wide outer doorway and drink in the view and listen to the lamb voices with an obligato of bird song and a rumble of bass from the grinding beneath us, and we read bits from Herman and Dorothea, and our shabby Tennyson and know that we are in Ar- cady, until the church bell warns us that if we wish to escape Daniel's wrath we must fly to our dinner.
