CHAPTER XXII
8/13

I tell you, my old chief, Mr.Morris, is a corker! What he doesn't know about masonry isn't worth picking up;--can't fool him! That's what's the matter with half of our younger men; they sharpen lead-pencils, mix ink, and think they are drawing; or they walk down a stone wall and don't know any more what's behind it and what holds it up than a child.

Mr.Morris can not only design a wall, but he can teach some first-class mechanics how to lay it." Jack looked out the window and watched the fences fly past.
