Reuben Stone's discovery : $b or, The young miller of Torrent Bend
John Stuart Mill · en
Bixby came out four years ago. He has changed for the better, and is a
good man on the ranch, where he is well away from the temptations of
the city. Carney was given a year in the penitentiary, and I don’t know
what has become of him.
The mill and the Catch Me were sold at good prices, and then my father
and I moved out to our new home. We have with us my uncle and Dan Ford,
and we are not only happy, but we are likewise getting rich.
Mr. Markham and his family pay us a visit once a year, and he has
not forgotten the promise made to further benefit me; for on my
twenty-first birthday he presented me, in the name of his wife and son,
with an eighth interest in the ranch, worth, at the lowest calculation,
ten thousand dollars.
I like my new home a hundred times better than the old. Here I am
free from the sneers of all such men as Mr. James Jackson, and I
have the satisfaction of knowing that my work is going to accomplish
something. I have a swift pony, a fine dog, and a good gun; I love my
occupation――and all these things being so, what more is there to say
but to bid my readers adieu?
