Captain, the Honorable "William Uur
ton, could not fall to hear tho voices
from below, and lielnu; within the unc
my'ii country, although he had General
"WashliiKton'M safe conduct In his
pocket, he naturally listened at the
opening In the lloor. This was a knot
hole In the boarding; for the "Inn of
Congress" it hud been, before the war,
"The King's Arms" was a very loose-.,
ly-construt'ted, ramshackle affair, and
tho itooring of tho room above was the
colling o the one below. As It hap
pened, Captnln liurton had stopped at
the tavern to brush up a lilt, as three
miles farther on was the Wilton manor,
where he expected to meet a young wo
man to whom he had just proposed by
letter, and who had accepted him. Now,
as he bent on his knees, the captain of
Hussars discovered that ho was lodged
above the taproom. A half dozen men
were there, and in their interest in the
subject in hand, they had forgotten to
speak low. They, in fact, did not know
that the person they were discussing
was directly above them. "What the
captain lieard-was this:
"There's been a reward offered, ain't
there, Tom?"
"If there hasn't been, there will be."
"Hut this captain has both Sir
Henry's and the general's pass, Detch
ard?" "That proves nothing," said the fellow
addressed as Detehard. "We'll just have
him, and his puise. Mind ye, It's bound
to be well filled. What wo will do, will
be to take off his line clothes and leave
lilm say, yours, Tom."
"Keep (Ulet!" said the captnln, look
ing iin at liriggs, who, as the well-
trained olllcer's servant should, pro
ceeded to stand as straight and stiff as a
ramrod, with no expression at all on his
face.
The captain, by putting his eye close
to the knothole, could see quite distinct
ly Into the room.
The half dozen men lji the room wore
rough fellows, of the class of cowboys
who Infested the borderland between
the British and American armies.
"If he swears out a case against us,
liow is he to prove It? The evidence
will be against him, eh?" went on the
first speaker. "lie who has a pass to
pay a visit on a lady is found disguised
without a pass about him, don't ye
see? So it will stand to reason, won't
it? that he's here just as Andre was,
don't it?"
"Andre?"
The major was Burton's good friend.
He did not know that Andre was in
that vicinity for not knowing a word
of tho purchase of General Arnold, ho
was not aware that a great treason had
been discovered, and that Major Andre
hd been taken disguised as a spy within
the American lines, with most seriously
compromising papers on his person.
"Just the case of another spy, that's
all, so our captain won't be believed
under oath," said tho man who an
swered to the name or Detchard.
At the moment a door slammed, and
the fat, red-faced landlord entered. Ho
made the seventh in tho room, and his
first words made It plain that he, too,
was in the plot. For Dretcharu was
saying:
"There's two of 'em, and we're seven."
"We can manage 'em. And then,
since lie's a Britisher, It's only an act
of war that's nil It be. We need money,
fellers. There's a precious little circu
latln' as 'tis; and he'll have gold sov
ereigns." "Yes, you bet he will. We're poor
men. Wo owe It to ourselves," went on
DretcharJ. But at this juncture the
landlord said, In a penetrating whis
per: 'Shot up, yo fools! He's upstairs,
and might henr."
Captain Burton rose from his peek
hole and whistled.
Brlggs still stood immovable, the
shaving mug in one hand. But his mas
ter looked at Bi iggs wllh'out seeing him.
Ho was thinking of what ho had heard.
John Andre had been taken disguised
In the American lines, and there were
compromising papers on the major's
"KEEP QUIET!" SAID THE CAP
TAIN. person. Those follows proposed to strip
him, and Brlggs perhaps kill him and
then assert that he was a spy; for how
else the proposed disguise? He won
dered how he had not heard of Major
Andre's arrest by a great turmoil about
tho country-side; but, as he afterward
hnew, this was before that startling
discovery had reached West Point, and
the men In tho tavern knew of it bo
lore It had been noised abroad. They
had seen the gentleman and his servant,
and had known of the pass ho bore from
the general in chief, nnd, since ho was
an English' ofllcer, and opposed to them,
they took their course simply as a piece
of justifiable wnrfaro; at least they
made that their excuse,
But while Captain Burton stands
there deliberating, let me pause to ex
plain how ho chanced to be at the "Inn
of Congress," with tho pass In his
pocket; and how, as you will perceive
most naturally, he wished to put on his
better clothes before he appeared at the
Wilton Manor; and how, indeed, the
Wiltons themselves were then on their
property in this disturbed countryside.
Before tho war, Captain Burton had
known Mistress Polly Wilton, nnd made
love to her; and when the war had be
gun he had still kept up a' correspond

proposed by letter, nnd been accepted.
Although the Wiltons wore on the rebel
side, and the captain an English olllcer
of the King's Hussars, the match was
not unpleasant to the family. They
weie wise enough, when Polly's heart
wuh set on It, to appreciate that polit
ical reasons should not stand In the
way; that a gentleman was a gentle
man, although they mlgli't 'be lighting
against him.
Now our captain, having his answer,
had not seen his lndy love In years. He
went boldly and put the matter before
Sir Henry Clinton, then commanding
In Now York, and the general had not
been opposed to three days' leave under
such circumstances. He willingly gave
THE WHOLE CREW STOOD
his pass through the lines. General
Wilton agreed to get General Washing
ton's pass. General Wilton was on h'ls
way, with the general in chief, to visit
the Count of Hochambcau at Hartford.
As It was, the Manor, long abandoned
by the family, was well within the
American lines, and so, for the present,
a safe place for a young lady. AVas not
Mrs. General Arnold, Polly's friend,
near them? So Miss Wilton came to be
at tho Manor.
As for the pass, General Washington
did not at first see his way to granting
it; It was so unusual. They say, indeed,
that the captain never would have ob
tained it had It not been that the case
was laid before Mrs. Washington.
"General, you intend to let that nice
young man see his sweetheart? We
know ho is nice, because we knew him
before tho war."
"I don't see how we can, Martha,"
the geneial replied. "Why doesn't
Miss Wilton go to him in New York.
"Now, general," Mrs. Washington re
plied, "how can you ask such a ques
tion. Wouldn't It be unmaidenly, even
in war time?" ,
"That Isn't the point, my dear," the
chief said, sententlously.
"Do you remember the time," Mrs.
Washinton went on, "when you would
have been glad to see me before we
were married?"
"Do you think I can forget?" said the
chief, naturally enough. Do you think
that time has passed?"
"Then think of these poor dears," said
Mrs. Washington.
For some moments the general re
flected, looking at his wife; but finally,
they say, he agreed rather Irritably to
do as she wished.
"A woman seems always bound to
have her way, Martha."
And he sat down and signed the pass.
So it happened that Captain Burton
was here within the American lines,
and had It not been for his wretched
vanity In wishing to appear in good
clothes before the lady in the case, this
sorry adventure I am about to tell of
never might have happened to him; he
had ridden through Westchester safely
enough, showing the general In chiefs
pass.
But Brlggs, the man, carried In his
saddle-bags the necessities for making
a gentleman presentable; and the two
had stopped at the "Congress," a place
which had kept open through all the
troubles. And now our captain had
heard through the opening in the floor
the plot of these robbers.
"Cowboys" I have called thorn. That
term meant more properly the torles
who marauded about Westchester.
Detchard and his gang were anything
that might be most profitable, at any
moment; cashiered, or deserted, sol
diers and convicts. The host of the
"Congress" had been cunning; and by
his shrewdness was able to keep his
place open. Even If the house were a
rendezvous of many desperate charac
ters, there never was a charge against
it. And hero were these fellows with
the knowledso that a gentleman with
money and witli rich clothes was above;
and the cunning Detchard, having wind
of Major Andre's arrest, had seen how
a robbery could be hidden. They could
swear, utter they hail put the captain
in an obvious disguise, that he was
within the lines, on a false pretext: that
really he was there as a spy that he,
another British' olllcer was part and
parcel of the Arnold plot. They would
be saved the risk of actually murdering
him.
Burton was reflecting upon this ns he
stood looking nt, but not seeing, his
man with the hut shaving water. The
road was lonely. Then were seven to
two. Should they succeed, tho evidence
against him would be convincing, And
they, like rascals tho world over, who
ever seek excuses could. If they suc
ceeded, have a case against him. No
British olllcer's word would be believed
at such a time, Nay, if it had not been
for tho fortune of the hole In tho lloor,
ho never might have been warned.
At the moment he heard tho creaking
stair. He knew they had begun; ho
cursed his vanity In wishing to make
himself more presentable to Polly.
Wpuld ho not bo presentable to her, on
her own confession, In any guise?
"Drop that water pitcher, Brlggs!
Pistol out!" he ordered. ,
Tho startled Brlggs obeyed, such be
ing his training.
Burton snatched his own pistol from
tho table nnd primed It.
"We have a little light on hand," the
master said to thu man.
"Yes, sir.
"You have fought before, Brlggs?"
"Yep, sir.
"Well, then ready!"
The door was thrown back. Tho
whole crow stood there with leveled
muskets. They woro not particularly
brave, If they had tho bravadoo of num
bers. ".Surrender, splesl" Detchard said.
"Wo arrest you."
"You rascals!" said tho captnln of tho
hussars. "Break, through them,
Brlggs!"
Suddenly tho room was filled with
smoke and there was a deafening up
roar. Burton, finding that ho was not hit,
sprang forward nt the assailants tho
dim figures In tho smoke of the room.
One ho felled, but he was overpowered,
and then some one brought 111 in a dead
ening blow.
When ho awoke he found himself on
his back by the side of a little stream.
When nt last ho could look about he
saw that his clothes had been changed.
He was In rags and tatters. Every
vestige of his papers was gone. He was
without anything to prove his Identity.
Then he began to wonder why they had
not killed him. Ho did not fathom their
cunning. They had another arrow to
their bow besides robbery. He remem
bered the story about Andre's arrest,
but tills did not, at that moment, ex
plain the situation to ills mind. He
WITH LEVELED MUSKETS.
wondered if the faithful Brlggs were
dead.
Then, rising painfully, ho saw a
house. It was the Wilton manor house.
He had been there ninny times In the
old days. Why had they left him there?
Then, his head aching fearfully, he wont
down to the brook's edge and drank
and bathed tho swelling on his temple.
What could he do? He looked at the
house again. He must have help. But
what a mockery It was for him, who
wished to appear before Polly in his
fine clothes, to present himself, after
all these years, In such a guise. Yet
she loved him; she had confessed that.
He would go direct to her and tell the
w hole sorry story. The cold water had
made him feel stronger; yes, quite him
self again. Ho climbed a fence, over
into the ground about the house, and
then walked up toward the front door.
As he did so a stealthy figure which
had been hidden In the bushes rose and
ran down the road toward the river. If
he had known, tills was the man he had
heard called Detchard.

WnsTniil a Counterfeit $1,000 Bill,
but Afterward Kcimhurhcd.
About the time Colonel Ingersoll went
to New York the gambling element
along Sixth avenue and from Four
teenth to Thirty-second street liad
many cases to try. At Jake Smith's,
who now keeps saloon at the corner of
Twenty-eighth and Sixth avenue, there
one night congregated about twenty
professional counterfeiters, card sharps,
green goods men and the like. They
discussed attorneys, and when the night
was over they had agreed to band to-,
gethornnd to employ Ingoisoll to defend
them when legal defense became neces
sary. The first ease given the lawyer
was one in which a man named Coul-
son was charged with counterfeiting
$1,000 notes. Coulson had been arrested
and a spurious bill of the above denom
ination had been found upon his person.
Colonel Ingersoll appeared for him.
Tho chief prosecuting witness was a
man named Jordan, a kinsman of Col
onel Jordan of the New York subtreas
ury, who was an export In detecting
counterfeit coin. Colonel Ingersoll held
the $1,000 bill in his hand. He would
lower it, raise It asraln and then place
it In such a manner as to catch every
angle of the eye.
"Mr. Jordan, you sny this Is counter
feit?" asked the colonel In a very
serious tone as he held the piece of pa
per in his bunds. The reply was In
the nlllrniatlve. Then ho lowered his
hand that contained the bill between
his knees and asked: "Do you mean to
say this bill is counterfeit?"
Mr. Jordan thought that the colonpl
had changed bills on him nnd replied:
"No, I didn't say anything of the kind."
"Then, your honor," said Ingersoll,
addressing the judge, "I move the case
bo dismissed," and before the prosecu
tion could make a counter move tho
defendant had been discharged. As he
started from the couitrcom Coulson tola
his lawyer to keep the bill as his fee.
When the note was presented at tho
hubtreasury for change It was stamped
as counterfeit. Six months elapsed and
one night Colonel Ingersoll was at Rec
tor's cafe In this city. As he went to
settle his bill for his meal a gentleman
ly appearing fellow approached him and
asked him If his name was Ingersoll.
Then, before the lawyer had time to
speak, $1,000 In bills was thrust into
his hands and Coulson walked rapidly
away, remarking as he did, "You wiil
llnd these good ones," and they were.

SYNOPSIS.
Gerald Rayburn, a romantic young
American traveling In central France,
comes to tho town of Clonnont-Forranil,
In tho department of I'liy-de-Dome, minted
after tho mountain eo called. Ho finds at
the same hotel two American girls, Mis 3
Miriam Lowell and a friend, from lloston,
lie is attracted by Miss Lowell and en
deavors to make her acquaintance, but
she and her friend Ignore him. lie desists
from tho effort und devotes himself to
sight-seeing, lie makes a pedestrlal trip
to the top of tho mountain, l'ny-dc-Domc,
ami sees the young ladles there. Ho learns
at an Inn at the foot of the mountain that
they have driven over and Intend to walk
back by a short cut down the mountain
which meets the Clermont-Ferrand rond
further along, linyburn starts homo and
comes to a. detail of soldiers guarding a
part of the road across which artillery
target practice is scon to take place, lie
is told to hurry along. Reaching the guard
at the other side, he realizes Unit the short
cut by which the young Indies are to como
leads Into the dangerous section of the
road. lie asks the French sergeant to
send word to them or to let him go back
ami wain them. Tho sergeant refuses to
do either. Just then Rayburn sees the
young ladles coming along the loud in
front of tho targets.
PART III.
Anxiously he called the sergeant's at
tention to them, and the old fellow
grudgingly permitted himself enough
Independent action to observe their
movements frum his' post of vantage on
horseback.
Yes, they were two women, he ad
mitted, after a long and careful scru
tiny, and they were coming this way.
Unquestionably they were monsieur's
friends. He was of the opinion that
they were about opposite the most dis
tant of the targets, and, IT the prac
tice were delayed a little, it was possi
ble they might yet pass in safety. Wo
men, however, were not rapid walkers.
"For God's sake, can you not signal
the batteries to delay?" crley Rayburn.
The sergeant viewed him with pity
ing amazement.
Surely not. He was not provided
with signals, seeing it was not his duty
to use them. There could be no need
for it if everyone did his duly.
"But, my God, man, you must see
there Is need for It!"
The sergeant shrugged his should
ers. Such an argument was beyond his
sphere of rensonlnsr. At last, he added,
after a long and painful interval of
thought, that, even If It were possible
to slgnnl, ho would not venture to de
lay the monthly practice of the Thir
teenth army corps. There was little
enough time before sundown.
At that moment a low boom rolled
from the north. Rnyburn had been
watching the tiny figures working
slowly along the road; but now, with
a sudden start, he turned toward tho
hills.
A faint cloud was hanging against
the blue of the sky, and, as he looked,
there came a Hash, a puff of smoke,
and, a few seconds later, another boom.
Then another nnd another, as the fire
ran slowly along the line.
Horrified, he turned again to the rond.
The girls seemed to have covered
about a quarter of the danger ground,
nnd still they were walking on in ap
parent Ignorance that their best chance
of safety was to hurry back with all
the speed they could command.
Then suddenly they stopped short,
rerhaps a shot had passed or struck
closer than before. Perhaps the shat
tering of one of the targets had aroused
them to a realization of the fact that
those distant boomlngs meant danger
and possible death.
The sergeant still sat upon his horse,
stolid and Impassive, but his men could
restrain themselves no longer and were
waving their arms and screaming di
rections that must bo utterly inaudible
at half tho distance, and which liny
burn, even where he stood beside them,
could not begin to distinguish. At that
moment the girls began to run. Then
one of them sank down and the oth"r
bent over beside her.
It seemed unlikely that she had been
struck, for the fall came during the
"TAKE- HER FIRST,"
short Interval between the fire of
two batteries, Most probably she had
fainted from sheer terror, but the dan
ger wus terribly augmented and Ray
burn's face set hard.
Ho had been known ns n pretty good
foot ball man, back In his college days,
and, more especially, as a reliable
tackier. There sut tho French ser
geant on his horse with the relaxed,
bay-of-meal seat of tho cavalryman In
repose. Tho next instant and no one
knew precisely how It happened he
was sprawling In the grass by thu
roadside, nnd tho animal was gallop
ing down the road with Rayburn
crouching low upon his back.
The sergeant sprang to his feet, wild
with rage, but his pistols were In tho
holsters and his carbine was slung
beside the saddle.
"Sacre! Diablo!" he shrieked. "Tlr
ez! tlrez!" and tho carbines cracked,
though, In honor to the French army,

I very much doubt whether they were
aimed at the Hying man.
To the far-distant artillerists, how
ever, there could be no such scrunles,
and tho lire of the field pieces rolled
along the lino, ns battery after battery
poured Its weight of metal across tho
road, to plunge, for the most part, Into
the plowed field beyond.
Rayburn was not afraid. Ho was
filled with a mad, unreasoning exulta
tion. He wanted to wave his arms In
the air and shout; and yet ills mind
was working clearly and calmly be
neath It all, nnd, repressing the hys
terical impulse, ho bent still lower
along the horse's neck and dug his
heels Into his sides until the gallop be
came a mnd run. Then he glanced at
tho embattled ridge to the north, not
ing how, as the lire reached one end,
the guns were loaded again nnd the
smoke had lifted at the other, until
detonation followed detonation with
hardly a few seconds between them.
He could hear the shot swish through
the air above and around him.
Now, and it was all done more rapid
ly than I have told It, he found him
self pulling the horse to Its haunches
where Miss Lowell stood beside the
fainting form of Miss Hodges.
"Quick! Up!" he shouted, gasping
for breath.
"Take her first," said tho girl, point
ing to her companion.
Rayburn looked her straight In tho
eyes.
"You go first," he said, slowly, "or I
stay here till you do. That's what I
came for and I would suggest haste."
Before either of them knew Just how
It happened, she was In the saddle, he
on the horse close behind her and lean
ing forward so as to throw his body be
tween her nnd tho guns; ns If a rilled
lleldpleco would make any account of
two human aggregations of llesh and
bone.
Tho short distance was soon covered
and they were well beyond the Inst tar
get. She sprang to the ground.
"You will go" she began, quickly.
Then she looked at the lino of belching
fire and hesitated; but Rnyburn had
spun his horse around and was ildlnjr
back.
He was conscious that ho was fright
ened now, for the exultation of n few
minutes ago had vanished. Still, thero
was more work to be done, and, dis
mounting, he took Miss Hodges in his
arms, and, climbing back up tho
steaming animal, turned him once more
toward the point of safety.
Scarcely a furlong away It was, and
ho had almost reached It was even be
ginning to consider how the tendency
toward fainting at critical moments
might affect the development of tho
new woman.
Then he felt that something had giv
en way beneath him, nnd that he was
going still forward, but down nnd
turning somersaults as he went.
The blood kept getting In his eyes
as ho scrambled to his feet, but he saw
tho horse wallowing by the roadside,
shot through both haunches, nnd Miss
Hodges lying In a comfortable heap
where she had fallen, limp, and conse
quently uninjured.
There was something wrong about
his left shoulder, but ho managed
somehow to tuck tho woman under Ills
right arm and proceeded to half carry,
half drag her, the few remaining feet
thit had to be covered.
Miss Lowell hurried forward to help,
hut by the time she reached them they
were pretty well out of even the line
of chance fire, so he only frowned and
let her assist, feeling at the same time
a renewed sense of Indignation against
Miss Hodges. Then lie was conscious
of a strong desire to sit down In the
road anywhere and, as there didn't
seem to be anything else Important for
him to do, lie proceeded to gratify his
Inclination and straightway forgot all
about the artillery practice and the
martinet sergeant and the mangled
horse and even MIss'Mlrlam Lowell.
It must have been a long time before
j he opened his eyes, for his surround-

lugs were very different. He was In
bed, In a rather pleasant room, and It
seemed full of people at first. Finally
the number dwindled down to three
a little fat man In semi-military cos
tume, wlio was bustling about with a
very Important nlr; a handsome old
gentleman In uniform, with an empty
sleeve and a breast covered with deco
rations, and Miss Lowell sitting beside
him so his surroundings, as far ns he
cared about them, weren't so different
after all.
"Where am I? What's the matter?"
asked Rayburn, as hla eyes wandered
from Miss Lowell around tho room and
back again to the starting point.
"Monsieur has broken his clavicle,
and his bend Is cut. That Is nil. It will
amount to nothing," replied the little
man, coming up when he found his pa
tient conscious.
Then the olllcer stepped forward and
spoke.
y
"MonBlour Is at the enfo at tho foot
of the Puy-de-Dome, and In charge of
my surgeon. I will send nil ombulauce
tomorrow that will take him to Clnr-mont-Ferrnnd."
Then he paused and
with a quizzical look went on: "Mon
sieur will understand thnt he Is under
arrest for attacking Sergeant Plchot
while In dlschargu of his duty; but
monsieur Is so brave a man that 1 dnro
trust no one to take chnrgo of him save
mademoiselle" and hu bowed pro
foundly to Miss Lowell. "When mon
sieur Is convalescent," ho added, stun
plng to the door, "may I beg niadeniot
se)le to Bee that ho reports to General
Sauret at Clermont-Ferrand. I desire
his conuinny at dinner."
Ho went out, hardly waiting for
Rnyburn's acknowledgements, and a
moment later the surgeon followed
him to look nfter something that was
needed.
Tnere was a short silence, and than
Mm lnvnlld knew that his nurso and
guard was speaking.
"I have to apologize to you very
humbly," she said, "for my friend's
nnd my own bad manners, and I tun

"CAN'T I GET YOU ANYTHING
going to be frank about It. We avoid
ed you because I have always had i
foolish prejudice against tho Eng
lish" Rayburn started up.
"I'm not English," he blutted out, In
amazement. "I'm an American. What
gave you such an idea?"
"Why! madaino said, when we
asked" and then she stopped short,
and blushed very red.
"Oh! you asked," commented Ray
burn. ns If to himself.
"Can't I get you anything? Don't
you want to sue the surgeon? or or ."
She had risen.
"Not now," lie said, reaching out his
sound arm and half forcing her back
into the chair.
And, from all Mint I can gather, it
must have been at least three-nuar-
ters of an hour before tho surgeon re
turned. (The End.)
CliltaiAX PJtOFHSSOK'S PAY.
To Ho Increased to 81,000 a Yenr in
Itrlin--Othi;rs Who Cot Loss.
Prussia Is about to Increase the total
amount that she pays her olllclals by
almost $5,000,000 a year. Part of the
increase will benefit the university
professors, who are Prussian state of
ficials. The regular professors in Ber
lin university, for Instance, will have
their salaries raised about $200 each a
year; the average professional salary
will then be $1,C00 a year in Berlin and
$1,400 a year In other Prussian univer
sity towns. Thnt seems a rather low
figures when one remembers that Ber
lin university has had In the last twen
ty years such Instructors as Preltschke,
Vlrchow, Helmholtz, Bergmann, Wag
ner and Dubois Raymond, nnd a dozen
others whoso names are as familiar to
the educated in Tokio, Cairo and Cape
Town as they are to the students of San
Francisco, Chicago and New York. To
be sure, a professor has fifty to one
hundred attendants at each of his lec
ture courses, and from every one, with
an occasional exception, ho collects
from $5 to $20 lecture money a term,
but he Is allowed to keep but a. little
more than half the money thus earned.
Probably only a very famous and a
very popular professor Is able to profit
more than $1,000 a year from the stu
dent fees In his own lecture courses.
Yet a regular professor's chair In a
German university Is a much coveted
place. Thousands of men strive for
salaries that apepar so meagre, even
to the eyes of the American used to
Gorman conditions of life. Young men
of many talents and . international
reputation cling to the universities for
years, supported only by the wretched
earnings that fall to tutors, in the more
hope of some time reaching that haven
and heaven of honor and dignity
known as a regular professorship. A
tutor of this turn of mind lives a life
of self-denial without any parallels
among men of his class, lie has one
room, takes only imbuttered rolls and
coffee for breakfast, only coffee for
luncheon, and only a slice of meat and
n tuHte of vegetables and coffee for
dinner. lit crowds his dally wants
down to the point 'just this side of
absolute want, rarely spending more
than $200 a year, and wearing, season
after season, the same suit of clothes,
with the same amazing style of hat.
When the tutor becomes an "extra"
professor he may afford a suit a year,
a slice of meat with his luncheon and
two slices with dinner, but not much
more, save that he nmvos Into a little
Hat and puts a brass plate on the door.
As a full-Hedged professor his Ideal of
luxury Is realized in an eight-room
flat anil all he cares to eat of his fa
vorite dishes, which, with the training
he has had l'n his tutor days, It is safe
to say are never expensive. He never
aspires to keeping a horse or taking
his family or himself to the seashore
or mountains, that Is, If he be depend
ent on his own resources. Some pro
fessors, who gain their dignity when
young, marry rich wives, and then the
wide, wide, world, with all Its luxuries,
yawns for them as It does for men
with rich wives any hero else on the
globe. For the ordinary professor
studying and walking ami lecturing
are the glad diversions of a life that
has reached the acme of human con
tentment. Schedule In Illlcct November is, iS?5.
