He was not particularly bright, so his father determined to send him to college Shorty after his arrival im New York he made the acqualotance of an actress whose dramatic ablifty was confined principally to her pedestrian performances. Her pame was Blanche Blanche soon discovered that her admirer was the scion of a wealthy abd aristocratic Philadelphia (amily, and she determined to set her cap for him. As Seymour was a very suscept- ible young man, she met with but little difficulty. Her motives were strictly honorable, as her object was matri- mony. In the meantime, however, she Was not averse lo accepting presents from the enamored youth. She also allowed him to pay for the champagne they mutually enjoved In fact, her condescensions went so far that she allowed him to carry her pet poodle when they took a stroll in Central park. It was generally understood that they were engaged. Mr. Chaplain, Sr, was very liberal in suppiying his son's wants, but the extraordinary demands made on him finally excited his anxiety. A report came to his ears that his son had pre- sented an actress with a very expen- gélve diamond ring. Seymour was somewhat surprised when he received a letter from his parent to the effect that he, the aforesaid parent, would be in New York next day, as he desired to see himself how much progress the Young man was making in his studies. Seymour showed the letter to the ob- Ject of his affections “Don’t despair,” he sald: “the course of true love never did run smooth. As SO0D a8 we are married we will sur- prise the old gentleman and ask his forgiveness. He will grant It on the spot, and you will be admitted into the most select gircles of Philadelphia so- clety This was what Blanche wanted very much, but she had her misgivings. Ou the day following Blanche: had just returned to her rooms from a re hearsal when there came a knock at the door. “Come in.” An elderly gentleman wearing eye glasses and other garments, of course, and a very aristocratic alr, entered His worst fears were realized “My name is Chaplain, of Philadel- phia,—the father of Seymour Chap- Ialn,” he added siguificantly, “Please be seated,” sald Blanche with a simper. “You love my son.” “And he loves me,” sald Blanche with downcast eyes. She made au ef- fort to blush, but If she suc ceeded the result was not visible, as the paint on her face was too thick. “And | suppose he wants to marry you,” sald the visitor, smiling Iroglcal- 1y. “Yes, sir,” fiantly “I will probably have something to say about that. I will be candid with you. Beymour will never marry you I gave my word to an old friend years ago that Seymour would marry bis daughter A Phlladelphian who be longs to one of the first families never gues back on his word. You must re tyro bis presents; 1 will buy them from you" Blanche was absorbed In thought, There were numerous New Yorkers who would squander thousands upon her, who would even fly with ber Ww Europe, If she were free - ‘You have my son's diamond ring on your finger now. It {8 an heirloom I will give you $10.000 for It. It is only worth $2,000, but I'll give you five times its worth, provided you re- Inquish your rights on my son.” sald old Chaplain “My love for Seymour 18 worth more than all the priceless gems of the orient.” “Well, say $15,000 a check.” “Never, not for millions.” “I'l give you $20,000.” Blanche was silent. “Well, I must be golug.” said old Mr, Chaplain, opening the door “Say $26,000 and it's a bargain” sald Blanche. Mr. Chaplain returned to the table and sat down. He produced his check book and with a fountain pen filled out the check for the amount in favor of the hearer. Blanche handed him the ring and the old gentleman took his leave An hour later Seymour made his usual daily visit “80 you have come to bid me fare well, Seymour, but the 325.000 check your father gave me Is poor compen: sation for your love,” and she sigled heavily. ‘My father! He ain't In New York at all. He telegraphed that he could not come until tomorrow. What are you talking about?” “0, my diamond ring! ring!” shrieked Blanche it was your father. is my ring? “So you wanted to sell yourself for a paltry $25000? You are no longer a love of mine” sald Seymour, and he stalked out of the room. As the reader may have surmised, the check was worthless, and Sey- mour’s father was also bogus, Thus the fair deceiver lost both her love snd her ring. —Brooklyn Citizen. Good Thing. Mra.

T. Harding; Secretary, W. A. Brink; Treasurer, G A Hard- ing; Annalist, Mrs. U E Harding. This family came to this county in the early part of the 18th century.
