And there's you—literary idler, rolling in wealth. A little outing jaunt proposed. I come in advance to spend a day or two with our col- lege friend, Sidney Worth. I find him out west. Family home. Serv- ant takes my card. In a few minutes Mrs. Worth comes in. Fat, fashion- able and a tuft hunter. How did I do, 1 [ Mr. Lane? Heard so much of me from b city friends of the ton and her son.

Never knew I was so important be- fore. Then it all dawned on me.” “How, may I ask?" projected Dale suspiciously. “Your coat.” “My coat?” : “Precisely. You remember turn- Ing over a misfit to a poor struggling artist friend, don’t you?” “H'm—that's so0.” “One of your cards happened to {be in a side pocket. That was the | 1 It Was a Beautiful Word Picture the Young Man Delineated. one I gave the servant in mistake for my own.” “But when you came to explain?” “I didn’t explain,” replied Norman brazenly—“haven't since; don't see how I can now!" “What!” “No,” coolly announced the atist. “Introduced and acceptel as Mr. Lane—courted, feted as the rich man worth knowing. Tihen I met Irma.” “Who's she?" “Sidney Worth's sister. From the minute I have had but one ideal: To paint her picture some day.” “And slightly in love with her, eh, ‘Igalph?" intimated Laune. 1 “Well—oh, no, I've got too much |sense to imagine mysclf a suitable ipartl for a member of the old and aristocratic Worth family,” “H'm!” said Lane aga ly. thoughtfule “And what do you suggest?” “Why, we are going south day aftep tomerrow. With out flitting the epie ! sode is ended. No need of disagree- able explanations. The Worths know you were comiug today. We'll run up there tonight. Irma is interested in ! art, music and all that, and particular- { ly wighes to know you.” E ‘ “To know Ralph Norman, the you mean?” “That's so,” agreed his companion. “A sort of mix up in personality, isn’t it? Too late to mend it now, though, so—" “Continue your Haroun al Raschid career, and get through with it,” said Lane indifferently. The young milMonaire did not leave Brocton with his friend that day, nor the next. In fact, from the evening when he was first introduced to Irma Worth the idea seemed vividly in- Jected into his mind that life had o new attraction and was well worth the living. He and his friend drifted into the pleasantest week they had ever en- joyed. Norman was wild to paint the portrait of his ideal—but he was no longer “the artist!” As to Lane, so different was Irma to the averaze run of soclety bells who had courted him for his fortune, thart a tie grew strong. er daily that he fearcd it would be hard to break.

I must either tell her all,” he added, “or get away from here.” It was two evening later. They stood together watching the rainbow glintings from the flowing fountain, when some one came rushing up the walk. “Why, it's brother!” cried Irma. “You here, Lane!" exclaimed Sid- ney Worth, after he had greeted his | sister affectionately. “And Norman, too,” he added, catching sight of the artist on the porch, and rushing off to greet him, “He called you Mr. Lane!” mur- mured Irma, in a mystified tone. Lane was wretchedly silent. Not vet did his companior suspect the im- posture. She saw that he was dis- turbed. Always tactfu!, however, Irma diverted the conversation with the re. mark: “You should paint a picture of the fountain in the moonlight, Mr. Nor- man.” “I—1 never painted anything” blundered out Lane in desperation. “What!” she laughed—“Mr. Nor man, the artist who won the academy prize?” “I am not Mr. Norman, I am not an artist,” declared Lane in full confes- tlon. “The only things I ever painted were some word pictures, and I never thought them worth while reading. 1 { wish I had the power just now to paint a word picture of a truly penti- | tent man. Miss Worth, I have some- thing dreadful to confess.” And then and there Lane told his story. He found Irma more aston- | ished than offended. She sighed a lit- tle. Then she lifted her eyes to his. “Yes,” continued Lane in a despon- dent tone, “I am a poor ideal to con: sider. The only thing I ever did ex- cept to spend money was to write that ; volume of ‘Idle Thoughts,” and nobody i ever geemed to understand it.” | “You wrote that book?” cried Irma, | her eyes radiant with delight. “I un. derstand it,” and then she dropped | her glance and blushed at so openly ! betraying her appreciation. | “I would like to write, a lotter to you.” said Lane, “depicting my very serious thoughts about this inno- cent imposture of mine, Miss Worth. I would even like to go further and explain why—why I kept it up, why 1 couldn’t help lingering at Brocton.” “Can you not—tell it?" {inquired Irma softly, sinking to a rustic bench. It was a beautiful word picture that the young man delineated, for through it all there ran the golden warp of love. And when later they joined the others, happy Dudley Lane knew that he had won a worthy bride who loved him for himself alone. (Copyright, 1912, by W. 4. Chapman.) INVENTOR OF, THE TELEPHONE Claim to Honor Has Been, and Is Like- ly to Continue, a Matter of Discussion. Priority in the invention of the tele- phone is & matter of discussion. The principle of the transmission of sound vibrations mechanically for short dis. tances was known for a long time be. fore the electric principle was applied. The discovery by Dr. C. G. Page of Salem, Mass., in 1837 of the sound giv- en out by an clectric maguet at the in- stant of the closing or breaking of the circult and of the musical note pro- duced by rapidly revolving the arma- ture of an electro-magnet in front of the poles were made the basis of ex- | perimernts by many investigators and | were important features of early ct. tempts made to transmit sound and speech electrically. The theory that | sounds might be made to vibrate a metal plate which vould open and close an electric circuit and that a! similar plate at a receiving station | would be acted on elcetromagnetically and thus give out as many pulsations as there were breaks in the current | was advanced by a French writer as early as 1854. Alexander Graham Bell, an American by adoption, though born in Edinborough, Scotland, in 1847, is the inventor of the speaking telephone, for which he was granted patents in 1876. An imperfect form of his telephone was exhibited at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876.
