"I nm the heir to my uncle's title, hut his estates are so mortgaged that I nm forced to sell them. Of course. I have my profession, hut my clients are few and far between, and I have been ac customed to a liberal allowance, little dreaming that some day I should have to pay for It out of my heritage." The late Lord Rumbolt's family law yer looked sympathizingly at the young man whose fate was so different from what It should have boon. Up stairs, in the room abovo them, lay all that was mortal of Cuthbert, Baron Ruui liolt. whose funeral was to tuke place that very day. The morning sunshine flickered In through the deep, bay win dow, ns If mocking the young man whoso prospects had been shattered at a blow. But Anthony Rtimbolt was no cow ard n nd no fool. Once he had mas tered the news he was ready to be up and doing. "I cun't stay here, under ttio circum stances, for I can't afford to keep up this place on the earnings of a briefless lawyer," he told Carew. "There Is nothing else to be done: the dear old place must come under the hammer. I expect it will fall into the hands of some upstart local merchant or n mut ton raiser from Now Zealand. Thank heaven, my duties will keep me In Lon don, and I shall not be harrowed by its desecration." I'lie lawyer looked at him a little keenly from under his shaggy brows. "You might marry," ho ventured, tim idly. '"You are a prize In the matrimo nial market. Lord ltumbolt. Many will " "Sell themselves for a title?" burst In Anthony. Impetuously. "Don't think of that again, please. I've uot sunk so low as that yet, and, please heaven. I don't Intend to" "But there are many love'.y girls, who have enough money and you are good looking!" put in the elder man, unabashed. "There's nothing like look ing all your chances in the face, I say " "So you want me to look one 'chance In the face forever afterward!" added his lordship, grimly. "No. no. Carew. ns I have said, I hate all that sort of thing. When. I marry. It will he for love nlonc love and nothing but love. I'm glud you broke the news of my un cle's bankruptcy to mo beforehand. I should have hated to have to face all those Raping relations unprepared. As It Is, of course, I shall not give myself away, but I shall take it stoically, and let's hope that I shall not be commiser ated with, that's all!" The two men passed out of the li brary then and Into the hall. The caftin was on Us way down the broad, oaken stairs the dead man's last jour ney across the threshold of the ances tral home be had ruined was just about to bo taken. Anthony slipiied into his place as lietr-nt-law and chief mourner, ar.d many a seedy connection of the late baron's, who had not been aware of the suite ot affairs at Rumbolt Chase, slipped Into the procession which fol lowed the boily ncross the soft, green grass to the-little churchyard, where the service was soon read and the dust finally committed to the dust. Then the solemn procession re formed and made its way hack to the old mansion In readiness to bear the will read. AJ1 eyes l:i the room were turned on Anthony ltumbolt as the words fell clearly from the lawyer's lips words that made him practically penniless, with a title to keep, and only his pro fession upon which to do It. There were murmurs of disappoint ment, growls of surly rag:;, solis from hysterical feminine relatives, who sub sided behind their black-edged hand kerchiefs, presumably to dry their tears and swallow their secret sorrow. In the midst of it all the heir stood tip and threw back bis handsome head with a thoroughly characteristic ges ture. "Friends," be said, and his voice was . perfectly steady, "I am very glad to see you here, and to know that you liuve joined with me in honoring ciy dead uncle. He was, as you all know, never a very wealthy man, and some undertakings of his were not success ful nt the last. That Is the reason why so many of y m are disappointed cf legacies today. That is all I have to say. 1 think. Thank you all very much, ami go-.id-byo." He turned to the o'.d lawyer, shook his liinid warmly, and, still holding his bead tilth, he left the room, leaving those beliind blm to retire as best they could. But his heart was heavy when he went to bed thut night, and It did uot grow any lighter as the days went on and the time drew near for Ruubolt Chase to be put up to auction. He whs young, handsome and a baron, but he hardly knew from day to day where his next meal would come from as ho fald lilmselt, he was un Impoverished baron! Then, one glorious spring morning, the news came to him. ns he sat In his Ktuffy chambers in the Temple, that the Chase had been bought by a cer tain American, one Clivo Warremler by name. Whoever It was he wrote a decidedly bold and legible hand, An thony thought, as he looked over the necessary papers and wrote the words that signed the Chase away from him self and his heirs forever. Then he worked harder than ever at his books, thrust tho thought of his lost Inherit ing far Into the back recesses of his . ulud, and purposely ground all through an unusually hot August. The result was only what might have ben anticipated. He broke down com pletely, and the doctor ordered blio away for entire rest and change of air. Ilia thoughts turned Involuntarily Into the forbidden direction. The tempta tion was too great for blm. The physi cian murmured something about the e o Continent, a sea voyage, etc., etc., and ltumbolt acquiesced ungracefully, but he packed his bag with feverish haste, and the train took him, not to Dover or Folkstone, but down Into the heart of Devonshire, where, in the fairest coun ty of England, his forfeited heritage stood. He put up at the little Inn of the market town, which was situated about ten miles from the Chase. It was rather a rough night, a boisterous gale was howling across his beloved pas tures, and the rn In was coming down In sheets. Suddenly, below In the hall, be heard a commotion. A private car riage had met with an accident; the horses had Just escaped being killed by a tree falling across their path, but the carriage had suffered, being almost crushed by the weight of the branches as they fell. Anthony was soon In the tiny hall, listening to the tale of woe, as a tall, slender girl, with her well shaped head, came forward into the dim light. She turned her eyes on the young man who had Just joined the assem bled company, and Rumbolt's heart gave a big throb and passed out of his own keeping forever. The eyes that hud wrought this havoc were wide and velvety, of a color something between a deep shade of gray and purple big. Innocent, fearless eyes, that rested on his face for the space of a second, mid then sought the circumscribed hall for the Innkeeper. The latter came for ward a little tremulously. The acci dent was not his fault, but the young lady would doubtless want to be put up for the night, and his lordship had the best room In the house, and the only one that was worth offering to a lady. "I cannot so cn," she said. In clear tones, which rea died Uumbolt's ears; "perhaps, Mr. Jenkins, you will place a room at my dis'iosal?" The innkeeper prevuricated to gnl'.i time. He murmured his desire to meet with the lady's wishes in every respect, shrugged his shoulders, and Invited bei to lie seated in the parlor until her room had been prepared. Then he turned helplessly to Anthony, who stood leaning again3t the balus trade, watching the little play. "It's your room, my lord, which is the very best." he said, entreatlngly. "Might 1 make so bold as to ask you to " Ho stopped, awed by the curious look In bis companion's face. Anthony pur posely misunderstood him. "Give her the best room," he fald, magnanimously, "as long as you don't disturb me'." "Hut " Anthony waved hiia aside with a laugh. "Don't 'but' me," he remarked. "Put the young lady In your best rcom, and make no more apoligles ubout It. There, that will do!" ' Consumed with a desire to meet the glance of those lovely eyes once more, ltumbolt sauntered Into the little room where the lady was waiting until her room should be rady for her. He was rewarded, for the girl looked up at his entrance. She smiled at him so frankly that he decided to ignore Mrs. Grundy. "It was an awkward accident," he said, taking a chair at the table, while he concentrated his gaze upon some wax bowers In a glass case at the other end ot the room. "It was lucky that you were near this place " "It would have been luckier if I had been nearer my own house," she an swered, with n faint show of con straint. Something told her that just because this young man was hand some and everything that could be do sired, she had better keep him ut a dis tance. "You will be quite comfortable, I as sure you, here," he assured her, smil ing. "Do you live near?" She looked out of the window. "Rather near," she answered in low tones. "Then porhaps you have heard of the gentleman who bought Ruu-Lolt Chase?'' he Ventured, eagerly. "Gentleman? You mean or yes, of course, I know him!" the girl an swend. hurriedly. "Nice girl I mean mnn C!l c Warremler! Have you met him?" Anthony shook his head. "No," he answered, decidedly, "and I don't want to, either. You see, I was the heir, and I was forced to seil the old place, and It went against the grain. One can't keep up u title on nothing, so the place hud to go!" "You you are the heir?" repeated his companion, wouderlngly, a little flush mounting to her half averted cheek. T.-ny bowed. "I happen to be that most unfortunate person," he returned, gravely. Something seemed to excite his com panion's rlsiblo faculties, for at this moment she Jaughed outright, a clear, bell-like sound wlilch Irritated Ruin- bolt. "Why didn't you marry money? she asked, after a pause. "That s what ull impoverished peers do nowa days, don't they or perhaps you are already married?" It w.is curious, but with those eyes fixed upon him ho wus glad to answer in the negative. i "I'm not married, nor ever likely to become a benedict," be answered, ris ing to his feet and going over to the fireplace. "I would never demean my self so much as to marry money " "But If you loved-the girl, irrespect ive of her money?" The question was asked in a low voice. Tony shrugged his shoulders, "I should give the girl too wide a berth to make such a possibility possi ble," he returned stiflly. And at that moment tho Jnnkeeper returned, saying that tho room was ready for the ludy, and she promptly followed him out into the hall. Fortunately, he was not In tha hall when she came down the next morn ing, tier groom having driven over a smart dogcart to fetch her, and she es caped with a mixed feeling of resent- nient and relief. Once at the Chase she sought a big, sunny room, where a sweet faced woman Iny on a couch with a book In her hands. "My darling Cllve, I thought some thing dreadful hnd happened to yon!" the elder woman snld, taking the love ly, flushing face between her two thin hands and kissing her tenderly. "For tunately, Jenkins told me you were put ting up at the Inn, so I knew you would be all right. What an escape you had! Thank God, you arc safe'" "Oh, I'm ull right, aunty," the girl answered, throwing aside her cloak and kneeling by the couch. "Is your head better to-day? If so, I will tell you of my adventure." Mrs. Warremler patted her niece's hands affectionately, and listened to her account of the meeting with the heir. "Poor man!" the girl sighed, softly. "Ho was so hundsome and looked so sorry, nunty. If he comes to-day I shall show him round " "And do the honors, though I nm afraid he will hardly nllow you to do thut, considering what a. violent dis like he seems to have taken to you al ready, though he has never seen you," the Invalid answered, stroking the bright head. An idea was borne In upon dive's mind at l:er aunt's words. Why let hltn know that she was '.he Cllve War render whose money had enabled her to buy his heritage from him? Why not make out that Mr. Warrender Lord ltumbolt believed him to be a man was away from home, and that his wife, to whom she was companion, was too ill to see him? Her decision was quickly made, for a servant tame In at that moment to tell her that a gentleman was down stairs who would like to see the place If It was possible. Going slowly down stairs, she found herself at length face to face with Lord Rumbolt in the big, old-fashioned drawing room. He started upon seeing her. and she anticipated the question his lips were framing by saying quickly: "Mr. Warrender will be delighted for you to see as raucu of the house and grounds ns you like. Mrs. Warrender is, I regret to say, too ill to come down stairs, or she would have welcomed you In Mr. Warrender's absence, which she much regrets " "But you ?" He stopped, and she smiled at him bravely. "I?" she repented. "Mrs. Warrender keeps a pnld companion. ' He jumped at once to the conclusion she wished. "Ah! You are the companion. Now I understand " The glance he gave her was such as made her turn round hastily to the door. "I will show you round, or would you rather go by yourself?" He hastily vetoed the latter sugges tion, and together they made a tour of the house and gardens. After the rains of the previous day tne skies had cleared, and n brilliant sun shone high In the blue heavens. Rumbolt was young, his companion was young, the earth was fair hope was In the air the summer hours flew all too quickly, and she dared not ask him to stay to lunch lest, unconscious ly, something should arise to disclose her identity. But Rumbolt was very much in love for the llrst time in his life, and the obstacles were as nothing. This young girl was a paid companion to wealthy Mrs. Warrender. and he loved her. Why should she not become his com panion? His profession brought him In enough to justify his asking such a girl to marry him. So he cut at the corn as he walked through the scented llelds and wandered by the sliver trout streams, and when he caught sight of her pink liueu gown through the hedge, two days later, he made haste to over take It. Something In his eyes warned her. She noted the danger signal, and a shy Hush rose to her cheek ns she extended her hand In greeting. Then he became conscious that he did not know her name. . She had never told him beyond the bare fact that It was Martyn. "Miss .Martyn," he cried, all at once plunging into the subject that was up permost in his heart, "I have some thing to say to you, and you will listen to me patiently, won't you? I am poor, but I have reason to believe that you also enrn your own livelihood, and I want to know If you think you could over bring yourself to give up your luxurious life here and marry me? I love you. Curling, with all my heart and soul. Come away and be my queen, my best beloved. Say you will try vury bard to love me." He caught one slim hand that hung nt her side and carried it to his lips. "I worship the very ground you tread on," be said, fervently. "Give me, oh, give me a little hope that some day you will take pity on me." "You love me?" she "asked, softly. "You are quite, quite sure of that, whatever happens?" "I uni quite, quite sure of that," he answered, passionately. "Look In my eyes and read It for yourself." Thus adjured, she rulsed her lovely eyes to his, and In a second he had caught her, trembling and blushing, to his breast, "Whatever happens till death us do part!" he cried, trlumphuutly. "Y'ou can never go buck upon that, durllng." She pushed him from her a little. "My name Is Mary," she suld, with an adorable little smile. "I must break the news to Mrs. Warreuder, and per haps she. will see you to-morrow!" Then she hid her face on his breast again and S)cd away so swiftly that he decided she wanted to be alone, and rested the temptation to follow her. He received a short note that even Ing at the inn. It was in a bold, deci sive hand, and was signed "Cllve War render." The writer desired to see Lord Rumbolt at 10 o'clock the next morning. "So at last I shall see the brute!" he murmured, as ho replaced the small sheet of note paper In the envelope. "I hope he will let no. "ry off his wife's compunlon before the year Is out There is nothing to wait for." It was with curiously mixed feelings thut he had awaited In the library the coming of the master of the house. The room in whlci he stood bore little or mi truce oi iiiuscuiiEe occupation, but the fact escaped AntboTiy's atten tion at the time, though afterward it occurred to him. There was a slight hesitation outside the door It opened slowly, and ad mitted, not the tall, overbearing mnn he expected to see, but Miss Martyn, looking for all the world rather ashamed of herself. He strode forward eagerly, but she held up her hand. 'Mr. Warrender ?" he said, In tones of surprise. "Has be sent you to say " 'I am Cllve Warrender," she snld, steadily. Then she slipped Into a chair while Rumbolt drew a long breath. She glanced up furtively between her fingers, nfter a long pause. The si lence was becoming unbearable. She would rather he had commenced to storm and rave at herl Anthony's handsome face was In dnnger of being spoiled by a very de ckled frown. Miss Warrender took the bull by the horns, and, rising, she went over and laid a very contrite little head on his shoulder. "You said you would love me what ever happened!" she murmured, softly. Tony, you aren't going to take buck. your words because because I hap pen to have a little money " His mouth began to show signs of relenting. It was l ard to be stern when she was so near! "But I told you " he began. She broke In with a little, troubled laugh. "I know you did," she answered. "If you hadn't perhaps I shouldn't have deceived you so It's all your fault. In fact" stepping back from him and looking rather severely at his troubled countenance "I don't know that I should have thought of you at all If you had not said you would glv a girl with money a wide berth you know you did, Tony, there's no denying It" "Suppose I don't deny It?" He was certainly relenting. "Suppose I give In," she returned, all nt once. "I'm sorry to have caused you any Inconvenience, Lord Rumbolt, but I give you back your promise I" with a sob "don't want to marry He strode over to her again and pressed her In his arms. The sob had quite undermined his courage. "Y'ou are going to marry " he said. passionately, "of course you are. Clive, darling who are you going to marry? Tell me quickly " The spirit of mischief died hari In her. She struggled to free herself, and sweeping a low courtesy, she smiled happily. "I am going to marry Lord Rum bolt's heir." she said. And the said heir, coming to his senses, stopped fur ther confessions with his kisses. New York Weekly. BREAD AND BRAINS Education of the Community Through the Efficiency of (he Soliooli. The public school is t ot to be regard ed as a "private snap." The public school Is or ought to bo a public concern operated for the bene fit of the public. The latter la the conception of nn Iowa educator and publicist Cap. E. Miller, superintendent of schools of Keokuk County, who is making tho schools of his county really public. He does this by enlisting the schools in the work of the community. For in stance: Miller got a Jeweler at the county seat to offer a prize to tho school girl In the county who would make the best loaf of bread and bring It to a county exhibition of out of school work. Immediately bread making was ad vanced to a fine art In Keokuk County. Mothers were consulted. Hundreds of girls got'busy. Each 'school district had an exhibi tion, and the best loaves were selected for tho county exhibition. The result? The homes of the county never had such bread on their tables generally. Scientific bread making worked won devsr. The contest did for the villages and farms what the cooking school does for tho city only more. Girls who had never before given a thought to bread making saw In it a worthy accomplishment. Some ot them have subscribed for cooking magazines and have bought cook books. They are preparing to make themselves good housekeepers. And. not least of all The public schools of the county have become linked fast to the homes of the county. Mr. Miller has done a like thing la offering prizes to the boys for tho best com, etc., and has thein studying along the lines of scientific agriculture. And withal the schools themselves have been greatly Improved not by the study of fads, but facts. This educator has pulled himself out of the worn rut of pedagogics. He has vitalized the schools. He has made them what they should be Ideally live centres of communal llfo and progress. Electricity In the Art or War.

It Is no wonder that the rail roads arc forced to go further and further away from their lines to get their ties. In vain have they tried to substitute metal. To-day the great Pennsylvania system Is forced to go to Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky for white oak, and the Southern supply of yellow pine is In hailing distance of practical extinction. As n consequence of these conditions, which promise to become worse rnther than betfr, many large railroads are experimenting with the planting of trees to supply their own ties. Sometimes the trees nre set out along the right of way, but, In the more Important Instances, on other laud owned by the railroad or pur chased especially for the purpose.

How an Idaho Tunnel Was Cooled, The boring of the Ox Bow tunnel, in Idaho, Is one of the great engineering feats of the age. The Payette River at this point makes a loop, and by putting a tunnel through 1200 feet, the river bed Is left dry for two and a quarter miles. It Is the intention to mine the river bed for gold. Ordinarily the putting through of this tunnel would be a simple matter, but at 300 feet from the upper end and 2,10 from the lower hot water was struck. The heat at first was from ninety-five to 105 degrees, increasing ns the work progressed to 132 degrees nt the hottest point. Different fans and blowers were experimented with to cool the air in the tunnel, but without success until William Flick, the superintendent of the work, thought of spraying the walls of the tunnel with water pumped from the river. Very simple pumping apparatus and common garden sprays were used with complete success. The tunnel is twenty-eight feet wide and nine feet high, and the flow of hot water amounted to seventy-flve miner's' inches. The cold water cooled the hot wnter and it was pumped out with common pumps. Sci entific American.
