THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURO. PA
Property of lhc Ler? Heir!
Horace Wood was one of thns"
young men, no numerous In v
York, who had been brought up with
out regard for money except ns ;i
meant of obtaining aiuupcnit'iit.
The only sou of well-to-do pan.n;.,
he had been denied nothing duilns
t.'.elr lifetime and at their death v;is
1 t with a fortune of fair size, lie
. i about to begin the study m"
1 icine when he waa left nn or
; .1. and he continued In bin coursu.
he was naturally e.Uravauant,
now, toil years later, ho hud
ed his principal so often that li!s
.uno had dwindled to flginod bo
. not like to think n!out.
Dr Wood had not fulfilled the ex
pectations of his It..- inn-tors, lie
had shown an nbillt;. which had led
those over him to predict great tiling
for him, and so far ho was a disap
pointment. Ho himself knew that
his trouble lay In his lack of applica
tion to work. He felt dissatisfied,
almost mortified, at hU achieve
ment. The life In New York dis
tracted him. He lived beyond his
means, and whs beuinnliig to n ;.!i,;j
that his money would not last for
ever at the present rate.
Dissatisfaction was growing upon
him rapidly. lie had reach...! t!w
age of 30 and knew that the be.-t ho
was capable of was still unrealized.
To work meant self-denial, foregoing
his clubs, all the amusements that
hi.s accustomed life offered Although
ho had as yet made no change in hi
ASKKD WAY TO FAIRVIEW.
'.ie was dissntlsflprl with hlmcif
' 'l those about him, with every- '
". Ha felt that he ought to
the city and buy a country
practice, while he had funds suffi
cient to do so. But the Idea of
leaving New York was a hard one
to face.
While Dr. Wood was In this self
torturing state an extraordinary
thing happened. Arriving at his
home one evening, he found a letter
from a lawyer in a small Connecticut
town, which contained astounding
news. It said:
"Dear Bir: It Is my duty to
inform you that Mrs. Henry Wood,
who died recently, has left you the
legal heir to her property In thU
town. If you care to sell Fairvlew
I have a purchaser from whom I
think you could get $20,000. But
I should advise you to come aa sooa
as possible and look at the property.
The place will be ready for you
after the 14 th of the month. Yours
truly, GEORGE BROOKS."
"And I didn't know I had a rela
tive in the world!" exclaimed the
legal heir to Fairvlew.
Hli father had told him long ago
that he came to New York as a boy
lifter a Quarrel at home, and had
made his own way. More than that
tie never said, and Horace did not
know that any of his race existed.
He had never given them a thought.
"Sell it, of course I want to sell
it! It's all to good to be true. But
why should I wait until the 14th?
This la only the 10th. I'll go and have
a look at my property tomorrow."
Horace Wood was the only pa3
enger to leave the train at the
little station. Ho asked the way to
Fairvfew, and after a long walk
through the shaded streets of the
old New England town, he reached
his property.
It waa a beautiful place, he saw at
once. The drive swept around a lawn
of green velvet under spreading
elms, to the white colonial house
Dr. Wood felt a strange sensation an
he approached the old mansion, "This
is the home of my forbears, and
therefore my , home," he thought.
He had not counted on this emotion.
How beautiful it was, so calm and
restful, with the air of being long
established and venerable.
The door was opened, much to his
astonishment, by a young and ex
tremely pretty girl. He named him
elf, and the girl blushed painfully
as she ateppod back to admit htm.
"Yon were not expected so soon,"
he said, regaining her composure.
"Had you given me time, you would
have found your house empty. I
will have Anna show you every
thing." She left him, and presently Anna,
In cap and apron, appeared. He was
taken over the house, but could
hardly put his mind on it. bo occu
pied wa he in wondering who tho
young woman might be, and why
both she and Anna treated him with
cold, alinott bitter disapproval. An
na answered his questions, but waa

felt ll!e an ltupo:tM'.
"That Is the .library," said Anna,
pannluft before n closed door.
"I'll .'so evjuro me a moment. You
can iu looking at tho books." It
hud Kiul.lcnly occurred to Anna that
ptriiaps this man was not the one
he pretended to be, and while he was
in tho library, she sped away to find
Mr. Brooks.
j''r. Wood opened the door and
found himself face to face with tho
pretty girl who had opened the door
to hi in In the first plnco. Sho looked
now ns If she would like to run away.
She was dressed in deep black which
ret off her golden hnlr wonderfully,
and her skin, which was of au ex
quisite pallor. She was very Blender,
and stood like some wild creature,
trapped, but poised ready for escape.
"I beg your pardon," said Horace,
"for disturbing you."
"You have a perfect right to dis
turb me," the girl said coldly. "I
should not bo here at all. I shall bo
goue this evening, and leave you In
unmolested possession of your pro
perty." Who on earth could she bo? And
why did she and Anna hate him so?
"Will j oti tell me, please, who you
are?" he asked.
"Do you moan to pretend you do
not know?" Then, with a scornful
look, she swept from tho room.
As he stood in utter u.smav where!
File had left him. the door opened
and Anna appeared, followed by an
eblerly man. It was Mr. Brooksf the
lawver. an.I Hnra,,. V,i ...... .hi,

"I had no difficulty in finding yen,
for I have kept track of you through
New York lawyers always. Your
father refused every overturo of
1'e-ace that was made, and your grand
father left everything to your undo. '
Tie died years ago, leaving every- j
tiling to his wife, on the condition
that at her death the estate should i
go to his brother's son, whom ho
had never seen."
"But this young lady, who des
pises mo, who Is she?"

"She is Marcaret lesllo. the dauirh-

of the place that is home to her and
It Is very hard. She did not know of
your existence until after the sud
den death of her mother."
"Where will sho go?"
"To some distant cousins, who
live in New York. She dislikes tho
city, but what can sho do? Sho haa
not enough money to be entirely in
dependent and she Is too young and
too pretty to live aloue. The other
property In the town that falls to
you has yellded a good Income and
without that she has very little."
"It ought to be hers," said Horace.
"It is a great injustice."
WJien Mr. Brooks had gone Horace
paced up and down the library for
an hour, deep in thought. Then,
with an air of determination ho
went to look for Anna, and asked her
if she would beg Miss Leslie to grant
him a short interview before he loft.
She came to the library with ap
parent reluctance. "Miss Leslie,"
Horace began at once, "I have Just
learned who you are. This place is
yours by every moral right and I
Intend to deed it over to you."
"You you don't know what you
are saying. I could never accept
such a thing. And even If I could I
have no money to keep the place up."
"Then you can sell it."
"Sell it? Never! I love it too
much." Then she added, more kind
ly: "It is yours, you are the legal
heir. I am saying good-by to it all
" Her voice broke.
"There is one way left."
Horace, speaking rapidly. "Mins
Leslie, you are alone in the world
and so am I. I have enough to main
tain this place, which is yours. Mar
ry me and let us share it. I cannot
suppose that In this short time I have
made such an impression on you as
you have on me. I will be very kind
and considerate to you. I want to
stay here and work and build up a
practice. I am sick of my life la
New York. But I can't turn you out.
I know this is unusual, but so are the
circumstances. Say you will make it
possible for us both to stay."
"You are carried away by your
kindness," said Margaret Leslie. "It
is quite impossible."
But Horace saw that her eyes
were full of tears, and it gave him
courago.
"Tell me, do you love any one
else?"
She shook her head.
"Then let me go away and we will
both think It over."
"I can't stay here. I must go to
ray cousin's to-night."
"But may I come to see you there
and will you think it over?"
"Yes; you may come and I will
think it over. She held out her
hand. "Good-by. Don't think I do
not appreciate your offer, only I
am afraid "
"Don't be afraid," Horace Bald,
earnestly. And the eyes she raised
to his grew trustful, and he read in
their depths a promise, shy and
sweet.

The French are more careful than
Americans In the making of cider.
In Bordeaux 80 kinds of apples are

She doesn't keop herself in evi
dence all of the time, but remembers
to give her hostess an opportunity to
attend to her household duties.
She has some consideration for

She doesn't announce on hr ar
rival that she Isn't going to be "one
bit of trouble" and then proceeds to
upset the household machinery
through stupidity or thoughtlessness.
' Sha makes so little trouble and
adds so much to the comfort and
pleasure of every one that her de
parture is sincerely regretted.
Buying Remnants
Do not be persuaded into buying a
remnant that is too short in length
for the contemplated gown, unless
you are oertain yon can combine with
ft something you have or oan buy at
a price that will permit the gown to
remain a bargain.
It is in waist lengths and rem
nants that may be utilised for child
ren's dresses that the greatest oppor
tunities offer, and here even half
yard lengths of plaids and bright col
ors may be utilized for pipings and
bands to brighten a dress of plain
color.
Short lengths of lace and emproM
ery are valuable for yokes and In
serts, the fashion of combining two
or more kinds of lace in one gown
making it possible to employ odd bits.

The brown eyed wotiaa should

Tho blond woman should set h.T

It is tho woman with dull or f.s'iy
eyes who is at a los.3 how to proceed,
because her eyes lack color. Sho
knows that It is the thing to wear a
dress that matches her eyes. Yet
how Is she going to do It when her
eyes and lashes lack color?
Hero are some rules for her to
follow. They are in tho nature of
dou'ts.
The flrBt one is: Don't make ges
tures with your eyes, it la the pale
eyed girl who loves to cast her eyei
upward, looking at nothing at nil.
It Is tho girl with the pale blue eya
who rolls her eyes, strikes attitudes
and does stunts with the eyes that
were never moant for her to do at ail.
The black eyed beauty may attempt
them, but never the pale eyed girl.
Th pale eyed girl should paint hsr
eye-brows every night with a good
eyebrow grower. Maybe Bhe will
take a little almond oil and sonio
vaseline and mix them half and half
This makes a good grower.
Don't If your eyes are not beyond
criticism, venture to wear diamonds
next to the face. Pearls are softer
and vastly more becoming. Bern
hardt, with all her Jewels, never
wears diamonds or any other spark
ling Jewel next to her face.
"What, dim the lustre of my
eyes," she says, "and make them
look dull by comparison with the
diamonds?"
Bernhardt, whose eyes shade from
bluo to green and back to gray she
herself says they are hazel Is care
ful to wear blue next to her faoe.
Her turquoise necklace is the won
der of the stage. Sometimes she
wears a dull green necklace of ol
ivines and emeralds, but never the
sparkling stones. Purple amethysts
suit hor.
Women who are blond and long to
be darker can really grow deeper In
hue by the wearing of a well selected
color combination Many English
women who formerly gloried In
their blondnosB are now putting on
the deep tones of blue and green
and brown in order to make them
selves look like brunettes in 'he
shadows.
The pale eyed girl and the deep
eyed one, too, must be careful of her
eyea. The eyes have a tendency to
come closer together, and this make-?
a double wrinkle in the forehend.
The woman who looks Intently at
things will soon develope a wrirkla
between her eyea. It is easily dene
but very hard to drive away. Dan't
look intently if you don't want to
have this wrinkle.
The girl wtio wants to keep her
eyes nice will maasage around them
now and then with the finger tips.
It keeps away the wrinkles, and
wrinkles should not be allowed to
come around the eyes, no matter
whether they be naturally pretty
eyes or not.
Woman's Creed.
It Is the creed of the up-to-date wo
man never to give herself away. A
cup of coffee may be spilled over her
delicate silk gown she simply fold
the breadths together and goes ou
with her flow of feminine talk.

Pensions for College Prof.;; s ;rs.
One of the most important and
hopeful signs of the times is the
growing recognition of the fact that
liberal provision should be made
for the old age of college professors.
The largest salaries of the teaching
profession are not comparable to
the financial returns that eminent
talent commands when it is devot
ed to the activities of business. The
intellectual gifts and unworldly
aims of great scholars and inspiring
teachers are not usually attended
by an undue tendency to the kind
of thrift that makes sure of laying
up something for the future. Those
who are constitutionally money
makers do not as a rule devote
themselves to literary, or even sci
entific, pursuits. When adequate
retiring pensions are provided, those
of the highest gilts will be encour
aged to remain, knowing that in
their old age they will be provided
for, and those who have passed the
maximum of their power and use
fulness can be superannuated with
out injustice or hardship. Wholly
and eminently commendable is John
D. Rockefeller's eift of Si .000.000
as a pension fund for superannuat
ed professors of Chicago Uuiversi
