To make a survey and see if all the land was there was the first thing to do; the next was to clear up the ground and make re- pairs. The house and grounds to the west constituted “The Brambles.,” There was a young woman in this house. Professor Nansen, wilower and own- er, would have called it “The Briars” or “The Thistles,” but his only child and daughter had brought him to a halt. Thistles, briars, burdocks and pig-weeds are not romantic. Bram- bles are. They signify a sort of tan- gle, but not too much. Father, daughter and Aunt Jane had read and heard that “The Oaks” was to have a permanent tenant in one of the heirs, but had not been curious about it. The professor was compil- ing a new arithmetic and gave little. heed to the world, and the sister and daughter didn’t see how the change was to make any change in their daily lives. ‘When one has come into possession of land the wise thing is to have a surveyor run the lines and see if they agres with the deed. It is only polite to call on the party next door and see if he has any objection. Mr. Carney called on Professor Nansen and stated his case. “Why, with all my heart,” was the reply as the professor went back to his figures. Miss Hattie and Aunt Jane were not at home. As a matter of fact, they were away for a week. One call on the professor was sufficlent to start the surveyor at work, but it needed & second to inform the man of figures that he was occupying a strip five feet wide and two hundred feet long G. .

You have sirrendered your land. I tell you my dell has been rooted out and,dest.roy- ed! We must do something!” “Yes, eertainly—yes, of course. You see, my dear—" And Miss Hattie walked straight out of the library, and straight out of the house, and straight down the path to the dell-less dell.- She meant to see somebody and raise a row. She was goting to demand this and that, Her cheeks burned and her eyes flashed, and the wonder was that the old goat, belonging a mile away, but;h out for a roam, dared to do what he | ¢ did.

He was there to see the thing through. would have come with the broom, and was thinking of it the young man from “The Oaks” came wandering that way to see what the workmen had done. He wasn’t bad to look at as he mantic. Would the goat go for him? No! He wore no blue ribbon. Would he | halt and turn back? It was a ques- tion.

He brought out his deeds, gave the matter a minute’s at- tention and replied: “Yes, of course—of course. Matters do get tangled up in the course of a hundred years. Go ahead and take all the land you want.” At the rear end of “The Brambles” was a dell. Some folks might not have called it a dell, but Miss Hattie did. At least, it was a shady spot to Which she retired on a hot day to read, think or write a poem. It was her very own dell. No other person had & moral or legal right there. If Aunt Jane wanted her at the house when she was in her dell she had to go to the back door and utter a long, qua- vering yell—sometimes two or three of them. The yells drove away the romance, but they brought the young lady. In due time the week was up and Miss Hattle and Aunt Jane returned. The professor said, “Howdy-do” and let it go at that. Not a word about the new man at “The Oaks,” the sur. vey or the loss of the ground! Next morning the girl tripped down the path to her dell. She had been lonesome for it. Where was it? She stopped short and gazed around her in consternation. Strayed! Stolen! Abducted! Yes, there was the spot where a dell had been, but never a dell there now! Trees cut down or trimmed—bushes uprooted—the wild cucumber vines dead or dying! Sacrilege of the most awful gort! Aunt Jane didn't have to yell to bring the astonished and indig- nant girl back to the house. She came on the canter and sought out her father and exclaimed: “How could you do could you!” “Ahem! Plus six—minus two ang the quotient is sixteen. Ah, it's you? I meant to tell you that we've lost a strip of land, It belonged to the young man.” “But who ig he?” “Fine young man, but I've forgot- ten his name.” :"}'Jut h;'- ruined my dell!” ©8, 1 suppose so.

The young man went at it right off. He| had to call on the professor—and he had to call and apologize about that| dell, which he had taken for a crow’s roost—and make another call for apology for being alive or something, and months and months later, when he asked a certain question he was answered: “Yes, after years and years, maybe. I believe you knew I was up that ap- ple tree all the time, and you must take your punishment.” Town to Honor Cardinal Richelieu. Richelieu, in Touralne, is to erect a statue in honor of the great cardinal, its founder. Seldom has a town been more wholly the expression of its founder’s will than this tiny square buflt town in the corner of Touraine and Poltou (says the Westminster Gazette). It is like some old Greek colony. The streets are cut at right angles, The towers, the church, the private houses. are all wonderful ex- amples of the purest Louis XIII style. They were all built at the same time in accordance with the cardinal’s plan to form a city by the little ¢hateau which is supposed to have beem the scene of his birth, in 1685. Whether this be so or not (for another tradi- tion places his birth at Paris), Riche- lieu was the place the cardinal loved and strove to dignify by founding a new town. He approved the plans of a square walled city with six gates, gave exemption from taxes to those in- habitants who built the first hundred houses, and built for himself outside a marvelots chateau, rivaling the state of the king, which has since been destroyed. Magnificent Gift to Charity. 8 Peter A. B, Widener of Philadelphia lost his son and grandson in the Ti- tanic disaster. As a memorfal to them he is adding $4,000,000 to the firet en- dowment of $3,000,000 for the Widener Home for Crippled Children. Safely invested and economically adminis- tered, the income on this additional sum should offer support, care. and surgical attention for more than 300 helpless child victims of aceident or heredity, not !‘r;lr ':: year or tem years, but for e, or so long as | invested capital pays Interest. That such a gift is broad and wholesome humanity can hardly be questioned. . ~ We Won’t Sacrifice Quality but we are always studying how to ~ Increase The Quantity more.
