A Well Constructed
Plan
Conceived In Life and Car
ried Out After Death
By F. A. MITCHE1>
Edward Travers was left an orphan
when be was unable to take any care
of himself whatever, but he was well
taken care of. He lived with the
family of a clergyman who took espe
cial pains to bring him up properly,
and, as for education, most of the time
he taught the boy himself. When Ned
passed to an age where it might be
expected be would be curious as to his
antecedents he asked the clergyman
about them. The only reply he re
ceived was that his father had left
detailed instructions with regard to
the course to be pursued with his son,
but they were to be communicated to
him only as each liuk in the chain of
the plan came up.
Que day the man who had thus far
had the care of the boy said to him:
"You are now prepared for college and
my work in your education is ended.
It was arranged on your coming to
as that when your college preparation
should be completed I was to notify a
certain person to that effect, who
would provide the means to give you
a university education."
"Must I go to college?"
"You uiust follow the course laid out
for you or' provide for yourself. If
you refuse to do the former you will
make a sacrifice. I have written the
person it is my duty to notify that you
will enter college in June nest You
will hear from her within a few days."
"Her? Who is she?"
"I have only her name. Miss Arabella
ITwitchell. Your father. 1 have been
■told, was a very methodical business
man, who thought out every st"p to
be taken in what concerned hiui iu ad
vance. Those about him never thought
of asking him Questions, but followed
his directions to the letter."
Ned received this information with
deep thought. lie did not like being
ground out through a mill like a pound
of coffee ile waited impatiently for
a communication from Miss Twiteb
ell. When it came it brought no
more information tlsan was absolutely
essential. It informed him that he was
to enter a certain college, where he
was to follow a certain course of study
which had been minutely laid out for
him. He noticed that the subjects
would give him a general though not
a classical education.
Oue thing Miss Twitchell warned J
him agaiust—the forming of any matrl- j
rnonial alliance "Your future career
is provided for in every particular,"
she wrote, "even in the matter of a
wife. But this can only be in case
the youug lady it has been arranged
you shall marry is living when you
iave reached the age of twenty-one.
rtf she is dead, you will be at liberty to
rmarry whom you please."
Yonog Travers was not more affected
by thia part of what bad been provided
for Jiim Jthan any other. At the time
lie was informed of it he was seven
teen years ,okJ and had no sweetheart
Consequently ,the effect upon him was
different from what it would have
been had he been tfJder and not fancy
*ree. There was romance in there be
inV a girl in the world who was to be
his' .wife, lie wondered what she was
like. -"lie pictured her according to his
fancy, a willowy creature with golden
hair and mild blue eyes. She was
amiable, kind, loving. The likeness Jtie
had drawn iu his imagination was the
last object he saw before going to
sleep at night and the tirst when he
avoke in the morning—that is, when
;he was not especially interested In
something tangible.
..Edward Travers during his student
daj- s was in no great danger of break
ing x'n lipoif what his father had pre
arranged for him so far as marriage
was •eoncsrned. College students are
at a laatiJjjS age. but they seldom mar
ry. in .the first rtface, they arB not a!"
lowed-U uuii'ry by the college laws; In
tie second, tlteir time is spent with
members of tiheir own sex, aud in the
third few of tlfem have the means
with which to support a wife. Be this
as it may. Ned Tfcivers went through
the course witiiont forming any espe
cial attachment with a girl, though he
had hosts of friends of his own sex.
Just before graduating he wrote to
Miss Twitchell to ask what was the
next thing on the program that had
been laid out for him. To his surprise
the reply ?ame back. '"Marriage." Why
be should lie married before entering
niK>n bis life's work he could not un
derstand. And what means would he
have on which to support a wife?
Surely some income would be provided.
But would it come from the girl he
was to marry or property that he
tvould Inherit? -
This matrimonial part of his career
now began to loom up before him in its
true importance. It had ceased to be
a romance and had become a reality.
He Jjad besun to dread lest he find the
girl who was intended for him unat
tractive. She might be homely; she
might be some old maid whom he was
to marry because she had money and
nothing but money to recommend ber.
Another feature was displeasicg.
Suppose tiiti girl did not wish to marry
him. Nothing b:sd been said about this,
but he had often thought about It. He
did not see how-n girl could be forced
to tnarrv hiiu if she did not wish it
Miss Twitchell in her letter informed
fctm ihat on taking his decree be was
to come to her for further Instructions.
He wrote her to ask what would .hap
pen If the girl he was to marry would
not have him. Her reply was that pro
vision bad been made for such a con
tingency, but since it did not concern
bim she had no information to Impart
on the subject.
Travers wondered more than ever.
This was going through life in a
groove. He might as well have been
a car traveling on steel rails. Truly,
that father of bis must bave been a
very singular tuan.' And yet might
not It all be for bis good? Might not
bis father bave taken this means of
forcing his son to benefit by his own
experience? Nevertheless it must have
been a difficult problem, this tying up
of the fate of the son by the father,
the tieup to be effective after the
father's death.
Travers had often wondered-who
this Miss Twitched might be. He
rather expected to And her as peculiar
as his father must have been. He
found "her an elderly lady, with noth
ing especially queer about her. She
received him kindly and said that his
home was for the present to be with
her. She lived in a country place, and
Travers reached her In June At that
season there was' nothing unpleasant
about bis remaining with ber. at least
temporarily.
As soon as he arrived Miss Twitchell
said to him: "I b«ve nothing to do
with the plan .vour father has laid
out for you except to introduce you to
the girl jou are to marry. But I am
obliged before doing no to make a
journey. I shall have to be away a
mouth. You are to remain here while
I am absent. I have servants here
and a housekeeper. The housekeeper
is essential to your being here, for I
am obliged to leave my niece in the
house, and it would not be proper to
leave you under the same roof with a
young lady without a chaperon."
"Is your niece the person I am to
marry?" Travers asked.
"1 am glad you spoke of that" re
plied Miss Twltchell, "for in doing so
you have relieved me of an embarrass
ment I should have disliked warning
you against one closely related to me—
indeed, whom I have brought up. I
said that I would Introduce you to the
girl that It has been arranged you shall
marry, after in.v return. I beg of you
not to complicate matters by making
love to Lulu. Unless you cqu assure
me tlfat you will not do so I shall have
to send her away during my absence.
The trouble Is that 1 have no place to
send her. This Is her home, and it
would pain me to turn her out of it
even for a short period."
"I beg of you." said Travers, "not to
put her to this inconvenience on my
account 1 will do my best not to fall
in love with her. I have become much
interested In and curious about this
plan that has been laid down for me
and would not for the world do any
thing to Interfere with It I shall cer
tainly not become Involved with any
woman until I have met the one pro
vided for me. Then, If I don't like her,
I shall break away from my father's
Intentions and do as I please. Of
course I speak with the proviso that
the girl accepts me."
Travers asked Miss Twitchell why
she could not make the introduction
before she left but got no satisfaction.
Neither would she give him any In
formation as to the girl's appearance
age or characteristics. Her action was
in perfect keeping with everything else
pertaining to this singular affair. Tht
last injunction given him by Mis*
Twitchell was that he was to say
nothing to Miss Louise Maryweathei
as to why he was there. He promised
anything that was required of him
since it was now only a month be
fore the mystery would be solved.
The first thing Miss Twitchell did
after her return was to summon Trav
ers and Miss Maryweether before hei
together.
"I charged you two before 1 went
away to keep from falling in love witb
each other. I have received Informa
tion since my departure that you havt
given .every evidence of having disre
garded my warning."
"1 am rauolved," said Travers, "not
to be hamitered with walking on this
chalk line, drawn almost before I waa
bora, any longer. I shall hereafter dc
as 1 like."
"And I," said Misa -Maryweather
"will not be tied down by a lot of
regulations .with the making of which
I had nothing to do.'*
"This means. 1 suppose," said Miss
Twitchell, "that you have fallen in
love with each other and are engaged?'
"That's about it," replied Travers.
"And you, Lulu—do you admit that?"
"I do," said the girl with a blush.
"Very well. Tbemystery pertaining
to both of you is solved. You, Ned
Travers, are the sonof tbo late senloi
partner of the Travers & Maryweathei
manufacturing "firm, and you. Lulu,
are the daughter of the late junior
partner in the same concern. Singu
larly enough, both men were widow
ere. each with one child. They formed
an agreement that you two were tc
be brought up to marry each other
own the stock of the company jointly
and you, Ned. eventually to manage
the business.^
"To complete this arrangement yout
marriage comes next; then Ned is to
spend the time in tie factory neces
sary to learn the busiaess, after which
be and you. Lulu, ownhtg jointly near
ly all the stock, are to elect him presi
dent, and he is to be manager."
"All's w«ll that ends well." said
Travers, embracing his fiancee. "I must
coufess that the affair has been man
aged very adroitly."
"The most adroit part of it," said
Miss MarvwenthVr. "is auutie's having
us here together, telling us that w«
mustn't fall in love with each other.
Had she told us we must all might
have been spoiled."
NEW ZEALAND'S GUty MINES.
Gathering a Harvest That Ripened
Ages and Ages Ago.
Gum digging in New Zealand offers
ono of the most unusual and Interest
ing forms of luLior. partly because of
tbe ease with whk-li the work may be
carried on and partly because It is said
New Zealand Is the only country where
gum digging is done.
Originally the gum which Is now
brought to light caiue from the kauri
tree, which is now scarce, but ages ago
great forests of It probably covered
most of tht- northern pnrt of "the
North Island These forests were swept
awny by fire, and today the landscape
Is mostly low brown hills with occa
sional swamps Gum burns very eas
ily, but such as was covered by the
dank forest debris escaped the fire.
Hardened and preserved through un
countable ages, this is the gum the
gum digger seeks today. By paying 5
shillings a year he may wander and
dig where he likes over enormous areas
of government lands. All that Is re
quired is n kind of spear to locate the
gum, a spade to dig it and a bag to
put It In. At night it is scraped and
sorted, according to size and quality.
"In digging." says a writer in Pear
son's Magazine, "you enjoy all the ex
citement of gambling without incur
ring the sin. And then to work for
yourself when you like, where you like
and how you like is delightful beyond
belief. Also you are free to" live as
your fancy turns and to have as many
friends as you wish or as few."
The climate is pleasant, and tbe re
turns from the work, though not
financially great, ranging from §1.75 a
day upward, are perhaps all that the
enterprise warrants.
