HAPPILY
FOOLED
By LOUISE B. CUMMINGS
"My dear," suit) Mr. Phillips to his
wife, "don't you think that Lucy
should be thinking about providing for
herself by marrying?'*
"Lucy marry! Why, my goodness
gracious, the child isn't four months
past fifteen. She won't be thinking
about matrimony for three or four
years yet at least, and If she goes to
college It's more likely to be six or
seven. What put that into your head?"
"Why, I was thinking—you know how
much money I have lost lately—this
Tommy Hnriling who came home with
her from school the other day will
come Into quite a fortune when be is
twenty-one. If the kids could be unit
ed I wouldn't worry aboul Lucy. As
It is I'm constantly wondering what
you and she would do In case 1 should
be cut off."
"You're not going to be cut off. At
any rate, nothing can be done about
marrying Lucy till she has got out of
childhood. Why, she's scarcely left off
playing with her doll."
"Well, 1 suppose you're right about
It Lucy Is only a child, and slip's got
her education before her "
Nevertheless the husband's sugges
tion effected a lodgment In bis wife's
mind, and she. regretted that the chll
dren were too young to be brought to
gether. Tommy was a nice boy. and
It was known that lie would come Into
a substantial fortune. Mrs Phillips
would hnve liked to bridge over three
or four years for her daughter, though,
siuce Tommy was but a year older
than Lucy, he would need even more
time than this to develop into lull man
hood
However, the matter ol uniting the
children when they .should heroine old
er had got into Mrs Phillips head,
and she couldn't let the uiattei alone.
One day Mr. Phillips said to hei:
"What's become of Tommy? I have
not seen him around here lor a long
while."
"lie's not coming so much now as he
did.'
"What's the trouble?"
"Well. It's your fault. You seemed
to be so anxious that Lucy should se
cure his fortune that in order to help
the matter out I sort of teased Lucy
about him" —
"You mean in order to gratify your
curiosity."
"Anyway, what I said proved that
my claim that she was too young to
think about such things is correct. A
childish friendship lias been broken by
suggesting love"
"I see."
"If you hadn't got it into your head
that a marriage could be arranged be
tween two children It all might Have
come about in time of itself."
"Rather If you had stuck to your
own opinion and let the mat let alone
Lucy might have in the end been pro
vided for."
A month or two later another dia
logue took place between Air and Mrs
Phillips about what the former called
"scaring the children oil'."
"Pa," said the lady. "1 think what
ever damage I did when l spoke to
Lncy about Tommy may have passed
1 met them coming home Trotn school
the other day. and they were walking
together Tommy was carrying Lu
cy's books. She looked put out when
she saw me And Tommy handed her
her books and went off In another di
rection. I'm sorry 1 said anything to
make them feel embarrassment. Such
things should never be suggested be
tween children, it takes away the
freedom, the sweet Innocence of child
hood."
"I expressed a wish, and you acted
upon it, which was the worst thing
yon could have done. Don't think any
more about it. By the time the kids
get old enough t<> marry they'll both
have changed and each will marry
some one else."
The last conversation between these
fond parents was in this wise. Mr.
Phillips had arisen and was standing
before the glass shaving, flis wife
had gone forth in a wrapper and curl
papers to waken I.ticy:
"Oil, my goodness gracious, pa!"
"What is it?" turning sharply with
a razor in his hand and one-half his
face lathered, the other side smooth.
□ Is wife staggered to a chair.
"Lncy is not in her room."
"Where is she?"
"She isn't in the heure."
"Not In the house!"
"No" - pathetically - "she's ran
away."
"How do you know?"
I'he lady extended a bit of paper,
from which she read:
Dear Mamma and Papa—Forgive U3.
We know we're doing very wrong, but
no can't help It We love each other Just
too dearly for anything.
"What does It mean?"
"I don't know. If Lucy wasn't so
very young I would think she bad
eloped "
"She has eloped: of course she has!
Don't you see she'says 'We love each
other' and all that?"
A maid entered with a telegram.
Mr. Phillips, laying down hfs razor
tore off the comer and read:
We nre mnrrie<l Arc we forerlvcn?
THOMAS HAIUMNG.
Mr. Phillips as he looked tip from the
message was a model for a comic art
ist flis suspenders were down be
hind. half his face was covered with
lather, and on it was the smile of one
who had been sold, hut to his especial
satisfaction.
"Ma," he said, "I thought you said
tbey Fere kids. I5ut Lucy's got ft for
tune."
THE TWO
CLAIMANTS
By LOUISE B. CUMM1NGS
Howard Prower and Ralph Cunning
ham, two young Englishmen, met In
the gold country of Colorado and be
came fast friends. .
These young men, having compared'
notes, learned fliat they came froml
eminent British families. Prower was I
a younger son of a nobleman, and Cun
ningham claimed to be a graduate of
Oxford. Besides the fact of their be
ing fellow countrymen, there was a
strong resemblance between them.
They were nearly the same height and
build and both light compiexioned.
There was one difference between
them, though it was scarcely noticea
ble. Prower's right eye was of a
slightly different shade of blue from
his left eye.
But there was a great difference in
the character of the two men. How
ard Prower was a kind hearted, noble
man; Cunningham was a devil. They
prospected together for a time, agree
ing that if one struck paying dirt he
I would share it with the other. Finally
I Cunningham dug a bole in the ground
for which he was offered a hundred
I thousand dollars. He had no intention
| of sharing it with Prower and was de
| liberating how he could beat him out
J of his portion when a letter came ad
I dressed to Howard Prower, earl of
Brokefield. , i
Prower was away on a prospecting
tour when the letter came. Both met
had been away from England for ten
years. If Prower were out of the way
Cunningham might return, pass him
self off for the new earl and thus ap
propriate the title and estates. While
be was deliberating on this plan word
was received that Prower had been at
tacked by claim Jumpers and mur
dered.
Cunningham went to the place where
the fight had occurred and tried to fiud
his friend's body. He was told that
a number of persons had been killed
in the fight and they bad all been bur
ied side by side. lie was shown the
graves, but saw no reason why he
should exhume his friend's body. Re
turning to his cabin, he opened the let
ter that had been received and learned
that Prower's father and two older
brothers had been taken ill and all had
died within a period of a few weeks.
A month from that time Cunning
!mm appeared in England and claimed
to be Howard Prower, now Earl of
Iirokofield. There was no one of the
i family to receive him except a sister
of the late earl, who did not doubt
I that lie was her nephew.
No one disputed the identity of the
claimant except Lady Gladys Pem
broke. the daughter of a neighboring
nobleman who would have been How
mi Prower's wife except for his pover
ty. She had not married and when
the' heir returned expected a happy
meeting. To play the part of her lover
was more than Cunningham could ac
complish, and she at once pronounced
him an impostor.
iiut notwiinsianuing mis asoeiuuu.
which was not very largely accepted,
Cunningham established himself as the
Earl of Brokefield. lie had played the
part of a peer some four months, when
who should appear but the real earl.
I Prower had been left for dead by
I those who had attacked him and those
j who had joined in his defense. Before
j (hoy had returned to bury the dead he
had crawled away. When he had re
covered he looked for his chum, but
did not find him. ' Later he had heard
of his father's and brother's death and
at once started for England.
When one day Howard Prower walk
ed Into his home and met his old
friend face to face the latter turned
pale. There was one of two courses
which he might choose—step down and
out or claim that the newccmer was
an impostor. He chose tlie latter
course. He ignored his visitor, saying
that he had come to personate the real
Howard Prower, but that he would be
unable to substantiate his claim.
Prower, aghast at such treatment,
withdrew and entered suit against the
man who had usurped his title and his
property. His aunt unfortunately ad
hered to the opinion that Cunningham
was her nephew. This left Lady
Gladys Pembroke the only witness In
Prower's favor, and her evidence was
not counted so valuable as that of a
member of the claimant's family. Nev
ertheless, Lady Gladys warmly es
poused Howard's cause, and the rela
tions of lovers that had existed before
he left for America were resumed.
One witness was found In an old
woman who had nursed Howard when
he was a baby. But she had never
seen him since that time, and her evi
dence was not considered of much val
ue, especially since in her old age she
had lost her eyesight However, at
the trial she was called to the witness
stand and testified as follows:
"I have not seen Howard Prower
since he was a baby, when I used
to give him his bath and wheel him in,
his perambulator, but if I could see
plainly now as then I would know him,
for I noticed on him a defect I have
never seen in any one else. His eyes
were of a different shade of blue."
The two claimant's were at once ex
amined carefully. Nearly all the ex
aminers pronounced that the blue of
Howard's right eye was slightly light
er than that of his left
This settled the case definitely, and
be was adjudged to be the Earl of
: Brokefield. He married Lady Gladys.
| Cunningham was sent to prison for a
| term of years for making false preten
I slons.
