Robert Merrlvalo has succeeded his
father os tho hontl of thu great Merrlvalo
JIUJs. Ho Is youiiK, but still unmarried,
and his mothc determines that If he won't
find a wlfo for himself sho will, She picks
out Snllle l'entland. Jtobert und rtnlllo
are great friends, but they frankly conless
to each other that their friendship Is not
love. Sallle, however, asks llobert to keep
up the pretenso qj courtship, saying that
sho has a partlculnr reason for so doing.
While this comedy Is In progress Clnrlssa
Itenlow Is ongnged at the ollleo as u steno
grapher. Sho Is of line southern family,
reduced In fortune by tho war. ltoliert
finds himself moro Interested In Clarissa
than he Is willing to admit, nnd even ex
periences pangs of jealousy when he meets
her ono Sunday with a young man nnmed
Samuel Sladdlng. One day a crank enters
the ollleo and attempts to shoot Merrlvale.
Clarissa knocks the pistol from his hand
just In time. This Incident Is all the moro
distressing to Mrs. Merrlvalo on account
of tho relations It brings about between
her son nnd Clarissa. Sho sees that Iiob
crt Is In lovo wth the stenographer, and
before long thu young man does Indeed
want to listen to him.
PART III.
That next afternoon I saw my moth
er's landau drawing around the corner
of Clarissa street. I stopped with a sud
den feai. Why had my mother been
there? AVns sdie playing the part of the
mother In the play who appealed to
woman's penerolty? Did real life
sometimes echo plays? Did Clarissa
nftcr all care the least for me? Hut I
fihould know in a moment. Perhaps I
should have gone to her mother nt first.
But I never could have endured that
fltyle of wooing; and I hadn't done It In
that way. I hesitated. Her voice paid
"come In." She wns stnndlng.her hands
crossed behind her, looking oufof the
window.
"Clarissa," sold I, "I am hero for your
answer."
"Are you then In earnest?" sho asked,
turning. "Isn't It Just generosity Im
agination because I knocked down
that man's hand."
She faced me; and It was as If sho
had been weeping.
"Can you doubt mo? Look at me,"
I cried. "You must know."
"It's too late," she said, wearily.
"It can't be; I won't let It be."
"I have given my word," sjie said.
"To whom?" I asked. I was think
ing. "To Mr. Sladdlng," she said.
"Ah, yes, I understand," I said. The
room seemed to he swimming1. "I have
been a fool, then."
"Please don't," she said. "You make
it hard."
"I beg your pardon. I have no right
to talk to you in this way."
Outside, I remember I called a cab.
I remember rage und pique suddenly
held me; for ufter nil, lovo and vanity
are not far apart, whatever our theories
about them. I went up to the Pent
lands, where- 1 found Salllo in.
"Tho matter Is," snld I, "that our en
gagementnow that Its been announced-
must be kept."
Nonsense," raid Sallle.
' lUally," said I.
"1 know you loo well," said she.'"You
have been jilted."
Eh, how did you know?"
"You look it," raid she.
' How docs a man look under such a
condition?"
"Very bad tempered and foolish.
Hut cheer up, Hobble, the ordeal Is al-
I ALMOST RAN I
most over. I, too, am going to Jill
you."
"The deuce," said I.
"Tonight" I am going to run away
with Bam Dwyer, Salllo said slowly.
"What's to become of me?" I asked.
"Go back to her?"
"Sho won't have me."
"Yes, she will," said Sallle with a
laugh.
"Why?"
' 'Because sho loves you."
"Sho can't."
"Oh, it might bo possible for norao
girl to lovo you. Bobble," said Sallle.
"Well, she's engaged to ano'.her
man."
"Yen don't mean it." said Sallle.
'Not to that Sladdlng."
"Yes, to that fellow," I cried,
"It can't be he," said Sallle, her eyes
dilating. "It can't be."
"i'hy not?" I said. "He's rather a
poor creaturo, I think, to be sure."
''He Isn't; he wasn't; yes no, he
isn't. Don't you see why he can't be
the man? Well, Hob, I told you a fib.
He's- the man I am going to elope with
tonight. He's tho man my family
won't let me many because ho is pior.
He is the PiM-4uid not Sam Dwyer at
aii." m

Clinton ltoss.
"She was lying to you, Cob, and I
never can forgive her."
"Why should she lie to mo7"
"What a stupjd fellow you are. Be
causedon't you sec? a woman must
lie sometimes when It's m, matter of
keeping herself from surrendering to
a man. Ills name wns probably tho
only one sho could think of."
"She thought I was llbblng nbo'it
our, your nnd my engagement then?
So she fibbed about her's."
"It was lmpei tlnent of her U iisi
Sam's name, anywuy," said Snlllo spir
itedly. "I don't see much In that fellnv,
begging your pardon, Sallle," I said,
seizing my hat.
On the steps, nlmoat ran Into my
mother. She was very much agitated.
"I heard you were here. Hob. I must
see you at once," she said, in a trem
bling voice.
"I am sorry, dear,' said my mother,
when we were in her victoria; for she
had turned back with me.
"You know, then?" I said, looking
quickly nbout.
"Perhaps I see It In your face, Hob
ble," she said, with a quiet, subdued
manner very unusual with her.
"I am going there now," I said, rathpr
wondering at her.
"To the llenlows?" she said, her
hand on my arm.
"I am not going to marry Sallle," I
stated. "Clarissa Ilenlow la tho girl,
if she will have me." I felt that sho
might as well know It all; I had decid
ed It.
"Hut Salllo?" said my mother.
"Sallle doesn't care a rap about me."
IUit I lemembered that I wns letting
Sallle's cat out of the bag. which, in
deed, was hardly fair under tho cir
cumstances. Yet here my mother surprised me
again by drawing a long sigh.
"Bob, If I had unother boy to bring
up I would never Interfere with his
love affairs, not I. I wouldn't make
him and myself miserable."
"My dear mother," I cried In my In
creasing surprise, "what do you
mean?"
"That I nm this moment the most
miserable woman In the world. I told
that girl". Sho paused.
"Clarissa?" said I. " You told her
what?"
"Well, I. told Clarissa Ilenlow that
she must refuse you; bhc she cried
and snld sho would."
"You dared to? you dared to?" I
sold.
"Don't tnlk In that way; it nil has
made me miserable enough. I wouldn't
nttompt another time to be a manager
of a love affair."
"You haw managed this so miser
ably," said I.
"I have managed this miserably," she
herself acknowledged with the most
surprising humility.
I looked at her again; I didn't like to
fo her In that mood. Though she. In
deed, had made me miserable enough,
was she not my mother? Wasn't It all
for her notion of my good?
Now she took a paper from her
pocket, very neivously; an old letter,
crumpled, rather discolored, with a lit
tle, round, led stnln on Its corner. Sho
lifted It to her lips and kissed It softly,
reveiently.
"Drive once around the park,
James," she said to tho men. "You
must give mo that much time, Robert.
NTO MY MOTHER.
I must talk to you. Then you will
you must forgive me."
Sho held the letter up acaln.
"Don't you recognize tho hand?"
"It's his," said I, suudenlj "my fa
ther's." "Yes; listen. It is his voice, written
me from Virginia during thre war. It
has reached mo as fioni the dead. I
found it you ltnow that llttlo oak desk
in my room. I was fumbling over some
papeis. You remember tho story that
tlmo he was wounded and his life
saved; they found a. letter on his per
son. That letter, Bobble, you know tho
story, was directed to me. Tho rebel
olllcer sent it north to me, with written
on It tho oIIlcer8 name who had pulled
your father out from tho range of the
gun."
"Ho was?" I asked, eagerly" a Col
onel Henlow?"
"A Colonel Henlow," cried my moth
er, bending her head; "and I Just had
been to ask this Colonel Henlow's
daughter to give up my son. I had
been reasoning abominably becaso I
thought that girl could not possibly
make you happy, Bobble, the girl who,
in turn saved you to me."
Slip was sobbing softly, gently; but I
nrnuiied hpr hand In mini
-..,r---. .... .-.. ... .,
"You dear, good woman, you did it
all for the best. Hut"
"It nftcr all doesn't seem to bo all
for the best," my mother said.
"We can never tell," said I; "you did
what you thought was for tho best."
I was still pressing her hand nnd I
think It comforted her.
"I bellovo my Impression of her Is to
bo depended on. Yet I don't know
whether sho carC3 for me. How can
she?"
"I wish you wouldn't bo so humble
about nny woman," my mother said.
"Tho only thing which persuades me
that she may"
"Of course she does," said my moth
er. "That she didn't Just say 'no,' " I
continued; "she told me a fib. She said
sho had promised herself to that fel
low, Sam Sladdlng."
"Well," said my mother, quickly, "sho
has, hasn't she?"
"No; she wns fibbing."
"How do you know?"
"Salllo knows."
"How enn Sallle know?"
"Because," said I , "Salllo Intends to
marry this same fellow, Sladdlng.
"Sallle!" said my mother, "Sallle!"
"No, she never cared for me."
"Then you mean to say that both
Pal'le l'entland und you have beijn de
l'lrei'ilcly deceiving mo."
' We did It In self-defense If we
did," 1 said. "I am sorry."
1 wts particularly sorry bocausp now
!ui1 certainly lei Sallle's cat out of
itc Up; and I c3.ta,nly ought ru-t to
have. I'one It; T owed that irni'ii ci
Sallle.
"What are we to do?" my m 'titer
asked, clmot helplessly.
'We 1 1 '- going straight to t'lghth
street," I now answeicd, with a deal
of deliberation.
"I didn't think that of Sallle."
"!'r perhaps of mo," I said.
"You have been Influenced by those
women," she said.
"A id you must go with me to Eighth
stiv-t, pnd explain away what you saM
-the impression yoj made."
"WKyi" sho asked, very spiritedly.
"Because you owe it to me."
"Wliv to you?"
' To n,y happiness now that It has
irf.iio bo far; and to the llenlows, since
we know that Colonel Henlow wis un
doubtedly the man who once save.1 my
fatheVs life in Virginia."
l.ut, Sallle I can't forgive her
To " Her voice rang out ulir. j-t

' Co, she can't say in it. B..t tl.oie

fvc the same definite refusal as she
had before. I could not be sure that
fche cared for me in the least. And
the thought was horrible what If In
Tact, she cared for this Samuel SI id
dlng? What if her subterfuge about
her engagement to him had not lnJi'd
Lefn an attempt to defend herJitlf
f,8inst me, but just an expression of
h r wish really to be engaged to Slad
ding? And Sledding this extraordtn
aiy person hal an understanding
with Sallle: and my mother had if
ti cited from her position as manager
o'. our various hearts, because ah'e hul
found that old letter of my father's
with the name of the rebel olllcer who
had saved his life then; a great re
morse hnd seized her the part of the
destiny influencing the mother In the
play; perhaps -my own serious face,
too, had affected her. At any late
this dear, meddling woman now had
changed her course. We were driv
ing, well agreed, to the llenlows; she
to state that she had withdrawn her
injection to Clarissa, and I to explain
that 1 knew my young lady's state,
ment about her engagement was a
palpable fiction.
"But Sallle?" I said, remembering
my old partner In a defensive alliance
against this match-making mother.
"I believe," saiu my mother, "that he
Is a very capable young man, who will
some time be the head of the banking
iiouse le is in,"
"You Inquired, then?" said I, in ad
miration. "As Miss Henlow hnd saved your life,
I, of course, was In duty bound to In
quire about the young man."
"Sho has n mother," I ubserveu.
"Too Inexperienced in New York
ways to follow out such an inquiry as
well ns i," said my mother, sententlous-
ly. "Yet she Is a very nice little wo
man. Now that Salllo won't have
you"
"I nm suro I won't havo her," I
groaned.
"U'h desirable to have you engaged
at once to somebody, as I have stated,
and there's nobody you've gone so far
with as his girl"
"You Intend to let Sallle elope,' said
I, almost maliciously.
"Elope!" cried my mother. "Good
gracious, of course not! I have a duty
from my knowledge of the case!"
After a moment she looked at me
with a reassured smile.
"I shall tell Jano Pentland how I
became reconciled to your engagement
with Miss Henlow. I shall assure her
that young people must nrrango these
affairs for themselves. I shall warn her
that when anything lias gone so far
as you say Sallle's affair with young
Sladdlng has It's better to accept it
as inevitable. But marriages, dear
Bobble, are not made In Heav "
"Let's hope these will end there."
"Well, amen," said my mother, al
most gaily. But nero she grew prim
nnd sober. Wo wero approaching the
houso of my fate. Would Clarissa per
sist in sending me away?"
"Don't you ask for her. Sho may not
see you " said my mother. "Sho can't
very well help seeing me."
Ml?& Henlow indeed would see Mrs.
J.leirlvale. My mother rushed to the
dour and ordered ma to follow her. I
did at obediently as you please. Ah!
she was still managing my sentimental
affair; she had retreated from her old
position to hold the new one strong!.
"Come In." It was Clarissa's voice.
My mother lookiil In.
"You dear glii," she said; I'm
eorry."
"Sorry!" said Clarissa.
MY MOTHER LOOKED IN.
I was still outside the door; I was
waiting the moment to rush In; to
mnke her acknowledge her He; to ask
her the reason for it.
"Miss Henlow mny I say Clarissa? I
am not opposed to your marrying my
son. In fact, t find now that I was
woll mistaken."
For a moment there wns silence; then
I heard sobs; I pushed Into the room.
Tho two were weeping, llko two silly
women, In each other's nrms. Clarissa
looked pale and beautiful.
"You lied to me, Clarissa Henlow?
Mid 1, at the door.
"How did-you know?" she said, turn
ing. "And If you do know, how dare
you say It? Sam und I knew that vou
had un understanding, so we made oic
ourselves. Sam was very Jenl "
"Sam 7" said I. "Eh, Sam?"
"Oh, he's Just my cousin."
"And "he's going to elope with Miss
Pen'.'nnd?"
"He told mo that after you had left,"
Clarissa said. "You see, when you
were here I didn't know but that po'
slbly you might marry"
"Sallle? Hut whnt's that to do with
the case?"
"Sam and I Intended to pretend not
to be hurt."
"What deceivers you women are!"
said I. "Still, we men lovo you."
"Really, now," said Clarissa, with
some mockery,
"You ought to know, dear," said I.
"I do," she said, slowly, after some
moments. "I do."
I may state here that my mother
still, tin I surmised, keeping, even in
her defeat, her position of manager of
hearts succeeded in getting tho Pent
lands reconciled to Sallle's engagement
with Sladdlng, whom I have found
since I no longer have reason to bo
jealous of him a veiy good fellow, de
spite his appenrance. In calling my
dear mother a manager of hearts, I
must not forget that In the end sho
found her own heart the most unman
ageable; in the end she had not the
henrt to leave us miserable, although
that Indeed might have seemed to her
then by nil odds the better worldly
policy. Yet, what's better in the world
than to have your will in the matter
of marrying, and never to regret It. "I
was right from the first," says Jobson,
the hend clerk, with a chuckle, when It
chances that Clarissa comes down to
go home wl,th me.
"Your Judgment," Mr. Jobson, I an
swer, "has always been an advantage
to Merrlvalo & Co."

the Binall parts were taken to a Watcr
vllct avenue phnrmncy, where they
were weighed on tho pharmacist's
scales.
The greatest care was taken by the
machinists under the direction of Mas
ter Mechanic Buchanan to see that tho
weighing was accurate. When every
part of tho engine had been weighed a
force of the best-skilled mechanics was
put at work to reassemble the engine.
When it wns complete again it wus put
into nctlve service.
A short time ago, the engine was tak
en back to tho shops and mechanics
were put to work dissecting It again.
Once more every part was weighed. The
scales of the pharmacist was brought
Into service again. When every portion
hnd been weighed the record wns com
pared with the former one. Then Mas
ter Mechanic Buchanan knew Just how
much the engines had lost In weight
through the year of a known amount
of work. The records of the weights of
the sepurate parts also showed which
parts were subjected to the most wear.
The test cost many hundreds of dol
lars, but the New York Central was
willing to spend the money In order
that it might be able to know what
parts of nn engine wear out most
quickly and In what ratio tho several
parts wear out. The exact figures have
not been made public. There Is no
doubt that they will be interesting to
mechanics and scientists.
