At rtrst it was merely the rumor of a
rumqr, then it became an authenticat
*d report, and last the town, or at least
that part of It which considered itself
Indubitably "upper crust," thrilled with
the knowledge that Hemingway Trent
was to spend a month with his aunt,
Mrs. Ordway.
Set down in black and white, this
fact appears insignificant, but Just
think a moment and repeat the name
over and over to yourself "Trent,
Trent" and you will doubtless begin
to thrill, for the name of Trent Is
known wherever pickles are eaten or
money spent.
It is only fair to the present Trents
to explain that It Is a far cry from the
original pickle, or, rather, from the little
patch of ground ou the edge of a young
city where that first pickle, that Alad
din's lamp of a pickle, grew to the
present representatives of the family.
Hemingway, the future head of the
Trent family, aged twenty-six, was
coming to Carrlston for a visit. A
blaze of interest sprang up in anxious
mother hearts at first rumor of this
fact, and, though they guarded eye
and lip, some sparks ticw and little ad
ditional fires sprang up In the hearts of
marriageable daughters. Finally the
air became surcharged. Adamantine
father hearts gave signs of emotion, a
restlessness, a critical, lingering sur
vey of daughterly charms. Several
rush orders for gowns of more than
ordinary beauty were sent scurrying
across the continent. And It was slg
nlficant that this tinery to come was
never mentioned, not even between the
best of friends.
Amid all the intense, subdued fiur
ry of preparation there was one family
that remained serene. Mr. and Mrs.
Barry of Barrydene went their elegant,
lauguld way, undlstracted and unmov
ed, though they, too, had a marriagea
ble daughter. The way of the Barrys
had long since ceased to be affluent. If
the Hemingways, for whom Trent was
named, had left . ramshackle shanty
far behind them the Barrys, ou the oth
*»r hand, had come from a rare old co
lonial mansion that overlooked the riv
er Severn. The only difference be
tween them was that they had started
at different ends of the chain.
Still, Brenda Barry, only child and
chief depository of the practical sense
of the house of that name, was usually
tilled with a tingling resentment when
she heard of the enormous fortunes of
the "new" people. Being a woman, she
could not fail to feel the subtle tense
ness in the social atmosphere, and for
the same reason she Instinctively divin
ed Its cause. And to suy tliut she was
scornful but faintly expresses It.
There was nothing about the good
looking, athletic young fellow whom
she met a week later to Justify that
scorn. He was the usual thing—a very
much washed, Immaculately dressed
young rnau of the day, with a desire to
please which was so apparent that
Brenda had to goad herself into remern
berlng how frightfully new and dls
gustlngly rich he was.
This attitude on the part of one whose
head might well have been turned by
the flattery and attention he was re
ceiving on ail sides mollified her some
what. Then by chance she happened to
encounter a rather vindictive glance
from Helen Carrlngton's violet eyes—
Ht»W<ii whs wearing mi exquisitely hliii
pie gown that had not seen the light
before- and suddenly her own plan of
action was clearly mapped out in her
mind.
"Too much soothing sirup," she re
flected ironically. "What he needs Is
a tonic." This mental coinmeut of
hers may have had something to do
with the delightful sense of refresh
in*nt young Trent felt lu her presence.
Shu asked him none of the usual ques
tions with which the others had pes
tered him until he wondered impa
tiently if they had nothing to think
about but him. indeed, she didn't seetn
to be very clear as to his identity, so
that he felt compelled to refer rather
diffidently to the fact that ho was on
to visit his aunt, Mrs. Ordway. Even
then her face was impassive.
"Hather a stunning girl, that Miss
Barry," he remarked to his aunt the
next day on their drive as she pointed
Barrydene to him, while he noted with
Interest Its picturesque decay. The
stucco house was a beautiful soft
gray, and what had once been a gar
den after the Italian manner was now
overgrown and neglected, yet full of
wistful beauty. Near a corner of the
house he caught the gleam of a light
gown and energetically tried by means
of hypnotic suggestion to cause his
aunt to stop, but she sat placidly be
side him, utterly unaware that tho cas
tl« of her mind was being assaulted.
Trent reasoned that if you pass a
person's house often enough you are
pretty sure to meet that person. On
tbe tldrd successive morning that he
passed Barrydene she came through
the gate In the neglected hedge Just us
his horse Jogged slowly by.
She wore a short pink gown, with
sleeves turned back and collar turned
in.and In her hutid she carried what
appeared to be a wet napkin. She
greeted him with a negligent nod, put
ting him still further at ease by her
Inquiry.
"Have you—l don't suppose you
have but have you seen a small dog
that looked as If he were sneaking
fcway from home?"
Trent was off his horse In a moment,
while he assured her that, though he
had encountered no sn<h animal, he
was sure that he could find It should
she command. She put away his offer.
"Oh, he'll come back! Only he
knows it's wrong and I like to be
obeyed."
"I'd obey in a Jiffy if you'd tell ma
to come In," Trent ventured boldly.
Miss Barry was all demureness for a
moment, then a wicked gleam danced
into eyes.
'Tome pray do," she Invited sweet
ly. And a moment later he hud thsl his
horse and was walking beside her up
the graveled path where the grass
grew unrebuked. Everywhere there
was disorder, but It was of the pic
torial sort that has an attraction all
Its own. To Hemingway Trent, accus
tomed to grounds that were bathed
»nd shaved almost as regularly as their
masters, it was oddly charming. Ills
companion, however, noticing his mus
ing, lingering gaze, construed In a dif
ferent way.
"i'ltles us, 1 suppose, because we
haven't a head gardener and two or
three assistants," she thought to her
self resentfully. Thereupon she de
cided to shock his sensibilities still
more.
"It's rather Informal, I know." she
said glibly, "but I'm going light on
with my work." And she led the way
around to the rear of the house "Ifon
see, i ve Just been (loin# h few of Uie
small flue pieces myself; the China
luau brings tlieui back streaked lu so
many shades of pink and blue."
She looked at lilin furtively, but it
was evident he was thoroughly uiysti
tied. She was obliged to be more ex
pllelt
"Washing, you know." she elaborat
ed, pointing to an Indian basket heap
ed with linen that st<««l on the grass.
"Now just make yourself comfortable
and talk to me while I work." And she
proceeded rather ostentatiously to
spread out some dainty handkerchiefs
I and napkins on the adjoining rose
bushes, while her caller looked on lu
shocked, speechless amazement.
"Oh, I say! You oughtn't to do this,
>ou know. It's ridiculous, it's an out
rage. (Jet a Chinaman who'll do the
right thing. There must be one some
where."
Miss Harry became sweetly pensive.
Kesignuient spoke from every line of
her face.
"There are some," she admitted, "but
they charge, oh, fearfully!" Then, with
hands locked behind her, she st<>od
back and regarded the bushes where
all the sweet rose faces were now hid
den from the sun with a virtuous en
thusiasm. "That saves papa as much
as a dollar," she said proudly, "and
. every little helps."
Trent murmured something, he did
not precisely know what, so busy he
was trying to think what it must be
like, the financial condition that made
the saving of a dollar so great a thing.
Uremia covertly watched him with
fiendish delight, which was, it Is true,
modified when she discovered that his
surprise was changing Into a sort of
awed admiration.
Stlil she managed to convey to him
before he took his dazed departure that
she usually spent the early morning
hours gardening, working In another
pathetic reference their need of econ
omy.
Promptly the next morning Trent,
clad In the most disreputable clothes
he could procure, might have been
seen hanging about the Barrydene
hedges. When the daughter of the
house finally made her appearance it
was not so early, though, as he had
been led to believe. He walked In bold
ly, announcing with the simplicity of
the early Trents the market garden
ones that he'd come to help. Miss
Barry's face turned a riotous red, and
she tried to dissuade him, but for an
hour or more he digged and delved at
her side right sturdily. Once begun,
there was no stopping him, and Carrls
tou watched the disgraceful affair
aghast. When later on the gardening
led to the usual result Brenda looked
him straight In the eye.
"I fancy that I have angled for you
! Just as much as the others," she said
breathlessly. But Hemingway Trent
only laughed.
"What difference so long as I like
your bait?" he questioned.

i Canon Ktngsley not lon# before his
death drew attention to the number of
short men who could be seen In a Lon
don crowd. He looked upon It as a sign
of the deterioration of tho race. But
; there are those who look at It as an
j Indication of progress In Intellectual
lines at least, for many If not most of
the great men of history have been men
below the medium height. Canute the
! Great was a singularly small man. Na
| poleon was undeniably short, Nelson
j had no height of which he could boast,
i and the great Conde was hardly more
j than five feet tall. Hildebrand—Greg-
I ory VII. the greatest of all the popes,
was quite a diminutive person. Mon
taigne was short; so was Pope, "a little
i crooked thing that asked questions;"
! so was Pryden, and so was Scarron,

I uient of human miseries" on account of
his short stature and 111 health.

OILS FROM FISH.

Tlieir Byproduct*.
The preparation of oil from aquatic
animals for both medicinal and tech
nical purposes Is of great Importance.
I The principal oil producers are the
1 whales, porpoises, blacktlsh, seals, wal
rus, menhaden, herring, cod, haddock,
i pollock, hake, cusk, ling, shark, dogfish,
I alligator and turtle.
Various subsidiary products are ob
' tallied from these aquatic oils and
form a source of considerable profit to
the refiner. Among the more Important
of these products may be noted the
| following:
At a low temperature there may be
j separated from all varieties of aquatic
! oils a solid fat or grease known as
"foots" or "stearin" which Is somewhat
similar to the tallow obtained from
sheep and oxen. It is used as a substl
i tute for tallow from sheep and oxen
In sizing varus, as emollient In leather
dressing, et<\ By hleaehln# the oils a
semisolid fat known as "sperm soap,"
"whale soap," "menhaden soap," etc.,
according to the variety of oil treated,
Is produced. This material Is used In
smearing sheep, washing fruit trees,
soap manufacture, ete. By refining
sperm oil spermaceti Is obtained, and
this Is used principally In caudle inak
lng, as an ointment for medicinal pur
poses, for producing a polish on linen
In laundering and for self lubricating
cartridges.
After the oil Is extracted the result
ing scrap or refuse Is dried and sold as
fertilizer

A well known artist recently received
a letter frpm a chap who has regularly
made It a practice to borrow money
of him. In this letter the chap who Is
always In financial difficulties surpris
ed his correspondent by saying:
"This time I have decided to reverse
the usual order of things, and, Instead
of borrowing from you, I Inclose here
i with SSO, which I am going to ask that
you will lay aside for me for a rainy
day."
But the artist couldn't find any re
i mlttance in the letter. He searched for
• It on the tloor, under the table—ln fnct,
everywhere he thought he might have
dropped It. Then quite accidentally he
i 1 turned over the sheet on which the let

Six shabbily dressed men lounged in
front of the fashionable hotel. Five,
evidently comrades, conferred together
in low tones; then one approached the
ilxth man, saying guardedly, "Are you
one of usV"
The man smiled half satirically.
"Xaw; I'm de real ting, see?"
His questioner turned away in dis
gust
The man laughed softly, the low, en
joyable laugh of one who appreciates.
A tall young woman whose attire evi
denced wealth and refinement entered
the hotel vestibule.
One of the five groaned softly.
"Who is she, Dyke?" eagerly ques
tloned another.
"Miss Kate Waring of Denver.
Worth half a million and eccentric.
Visiting Cousin Dorothy. And me in
this beastly tramp's rig!"
Miss Warlng's stately entrance into
the great dining room was arrested by
the head waiter.
"This way, madam," courteously. "I
will conduct you to the ladies' dining
room."
Miss Waring glanced about her.
"It Is not necessary," calmly. "I will
remain here."
"Pardon me, madam, but ladles with
out escorts are served In the room at
the right. I w ill conduct madam"—
Miss Warlng's calm glance survey
ed the small crowded room at the right
and then returned to the great, cool
room in which she stood, with palms
and ferns In profusion. She noted the
many vacant tables and the number of
ladles present.
"I do not wish togo in there. I pre
fer to have dinner served here," mak
ing the statement tranquilly with the
air of one accustomed to have defer
ence accorded her slightest wish.
"The rule Is Imperative, madam,"
with courteous firmness. "Ladies with
out escort" —
"Reserve that table by the window
with the ferns beside it, the third on
the left." And the graceful figure
turned to tho outer door.
There was no hesitancy in Miss War
ing's voice or manner as she addressed
the group of shabby men.
"Will one of you gentlemen do me
a favor?" clearly and unsmlllngly.
Six shabby head coverings were off
in an instant, and six more or less
manly forms bent low before her.
"Thank you all," gravely. "I want
one of you to act as my escort and my
guest, that I may be accorded the privi
lege"—the scarlet lips curled a trlfie —
"of having my dinner where I have
chosen to have it.l will ask you,
please," turning abruptly to the one
who had designated himself as "de real
ting."
"Oh, but"— began one of the un
chosen eagerly.
Miss Waring's face and gesture for
bade further words.
"I thank you all for your courtesy.
If this gentleman accepts"
"It is a privilege, madam," bowing
gravely.
" 'De real ting,' is he?" cried Dyke
vengefully when they were out of hear
lug. "Did you observe his speech and
that bow? lie's one of the fellows set
to watch us!"
"Nonsense, Dyke! There isn't a man
in the class as old as he. He's seen
actual tramping, I'll stake a thousand
on it. Why didn't you tell Miss War
ing who you are?"
"Aren't we under oath not to dis
close our identity?" demanded Dyke
hotly. "Besides, look at me!"
"I ordered a table reserved," said
Miss Waring to"de real ting."
"I see It- third on the left."
lie led the way with easy grace, a
light of amusement gleaming in his
dark eyes at the evident consternation
of the waiter, who hesitated sllgbtlj'
before seating the serene young lady
and her strange escort.
Miss Waring ordered the dinner with
precision and discrimination.
"I hope," she remarked pleasantly
when the waiter had gone—"l hope you
approve my order."
There was nut the slightest em bur
rassment In her manner or condescen
sion In her speech—the man was her
guest.
"The order is perfect, madam, and,
permit me to say, admirably given."
Miss Waring smiled.
"Are all of Boston's"—she yaused
for an Instant In search of a word that
might not embarrass her guest "sub
merged, such Chesterfields as the six
to whom I spoke?"
"The others are Harvard students."
"Harvard students!" In momentary
bewilderment. "Ob, 1 know. They
are doing penance."
"That Is the meaning, madam, though
not the term they use."
"Are you?" lightly, yet with an am
lous tone in the low voice.
"I am a genuine hobo."
She passed her cardcase to him.
"You should know who Is your host
ess," graciously, "and I will ask the
name of my guest."
He took out two cards, writing on
the back of one and returning It to her
with the case.
She glanced at the writing:
JOHN LESTER. HOBO.
NO ADDRESS.
BORN IN BOSTON.
"Thank you, Mr. I.ester. I hope you
are us genuinely hungry as- as your
professioiMvould Indicate."
"I am, Jtlift Waring. I can do full
Justice to the dinner you have ordered.
You might remind me if if I forget
anything. It's a long time since I have
dined with ladies."
The tone was serious, but there was
a dancing light In the line eyes that
Miss Waring caught, and she smiled
sympathetically.
There was but little conversation.
Miss Waring was graciously courteous,
as became a hostess, but even a dull
man in Lester's pluce would not have
presumed upon tin- situation.
"1 thank you for your escort, Mr.
Lester," said the girl dismissiugly as
they passed out.
"I am your debtor, Miss Waring,"
earnestly. "If 1 were not a hobo 1
would ask when and where I might
pay my dinner call."
A sudden Impulse prompted her re
ply.
"Tomorrow evening. My present ad
dress Is on the card you have."
In all her twenty live years Kate
Waring had never before been so curi
ous or so antlelpatlve. She smiled ap
provtil at the curd lie sent up, a slip of
paper with "John Lester" Ijoldly writ
ten.
She was still smiling when she en
tered the drawing room, but the smile

He was quick to see the change.
"You are sorry I came? It was tak
ing an advantage"—
"Pardon ine, I am somewhat disap
pointed. It was a pleasure to find
something genuine. I do not like lull
tatlous, not even aft imitation hobo."
"It is now that I am the Imitation,
Miss Waring The clothes are hired for
the occasion."
She held out her hand cordially.
"Consider yourself welcomed, Mr. Les
ter, and allow me to say that the
clothes are very becoming."
lie flushed boyishly.
"It's live years since I've worn a
rig like tills 1 hardly knew how to
put It on."
Miss Waring led the conversation
to topics of interest to a man of edu
cation and refinement—books, music,
the drama finding her companion con
versant with the best.
"Will you tell me something of your
self" she asked presently—"why you
are a a wanderer and how you live?
Even a traveler must eat, 1 suppose."
lie hesitated but an Instant.
"I have tramped for live years. I
work awhile in a place till the devil
drives me on again the devil of my
conscience 1 suppose It will yet drive
me back to" his face grew grave
and his voice harsh, but he kept stoical
ly on"to Denver, where I am wanted
for the murder of Manuel Laredo, a
Mexican, whom I killed on Starbrlght
ranch."
She rose excitedly.
"I bought Starbrtght ranch last year.
Manuel Laredo is among the workmen
there!"
He sprang to his feet, his face aglow,
his eyes filled with sudden joy.
"He did not die, and I am not"—
Then his face paled again.
"I forgot," hoarsely, "there may be a
dozen Manuel Laredos; those Mexican
names"—
"It is the same man," she interrupted
positively. "I have heard the story and
Been the scar of the bullet on his
cheek."
She talked on, waiting for him to
regain control of himself.
"We should be friends, Mr. lister.
Royal Thornton is my stepbrother. I
have often heard him speak of the trip
abroad that you two made together
years ago. I know now why your
name seemed so familiar. Will you go
back to Colorado?"
He took her outstretched hand in
both his own.
"As your escort, Miss Waring?"
She smiled assent, Hushing beauti

PRIVATE COINAGE.
At On<- Time It Wan t(uite Innimun
In TIIIN Country.
The history of the Issue of coins In
this country by private individuals and
companies would make a very Interest
ing book. When golil was struck in
North Carolina a man named Bechtler
| Malted a mint of his own there, which i
| was abolished by law In IN4W. llalf
eagles, quarter eagles and one dollar
' pieces issued by him were largely clr
| culated In the south and west. Al
| though of honest gold, they were about
!iy a per cent under value on an average.
About the same time Templeton Reid
coined gold In Georgia. He moved to
California In 18-1 It and minted eagles
and twenty live dollar pieces on a con
slderable scale. Many companies and
refineries In California and elsewhere
made a business of striking gold coins
during the same period. Naturally
there was a great temptation to make
these coins under weight and of In
ferior fineness. The Mormons in Utah
Issued eagles, half eagles and double
eagles which bore on the obverse an
eye, with the legend, "Holiness to the
Lord."
Quantities of twenty-five cent and
fifty cent gold pieces were likewise
manufactured at Sail Francisco, the
former containing only about six cents'
worth of tlie metal and the latter
twelve cents' worth. Years ago a lot
of these were taken over fo Germany ,
and circulated there, which elicited a
formal diplomatic protest from that
government The private minting busi
ness was finally stopped.
Where lie Made III" Money.
Years ago a gentleman settled in the
south of England and became very
popular in the neighborhood. The coun
ty families could never discover how, ;
he had made his money, but were sat
isfied by his solemn assurance that it
I was not in trade. Nothing could ex-
I ceed the ordinary gravity of his fle
[ meanor, which. Indeed, caused him to
I be placed on the commission of peace,
! but now and then, without any appar
ent provocation, he would burst into
such a laugh as no one ever heard be
fore except In one place.
Where they could have heard It puz
zled the county families for five and
, twenty years, but at last he was be
trayed unconsciously by his own grand
, child, who after a visit to a traveling
. circus innocently exclaimed, "Why,
grandpa laughs just like the clown!"
