CHAPTER ".

CHAPTER ".
LAWRENCE BANGS Is URGED TO DO SOME
THING FOR THE UNIVERSITY.
It was evident that Paddy O'Toole,
who had been accustomed to an active
life, would not thrive without exercise.
Therefore Bangs was in the habit OF
playing ball with him on a vacant lot
in the Back Bay district for two hours
every day in the week.
The result of this practice more than
confirmed Bangs original opinion.
Paddy as pitcher was certainly a
wonder. How he had learned the art
was mystery to Bangs and no less
to Paddy himself. He said that he had
'picked it up" Well, genius is always
a mystery. How did Shakespeare
learn all he knew or Archibald Claw
ering Gunter write "Mr. Barnes Of
New York?"
Paddy had the speed of a cannon
ball, and curves and shoots that would
have made boomerang thrower aban-
don his weapon in disgust.
1t was near the close of the fourth
week of Paddy's new life. Bangs and
his protege were taking their custom
ary practice in the vacant lot. The
young man from Yale was catching
Paddy's remarkable curves. He stood
with his back to the street, and he was
a very busy man. To face Paddy in
such pastime required about all the

attention that any one man could give.
Suddenly Bangs heard his name called
from the street. He turned and saw
handsome carriage beside the curb, and
in it were Mrs. Lorne and her daugh-
ter.
1t was Florence who was calling.
Bangs jumped over the low fence and
went to the side of the carriage.
81 couldn't help calling to you," cried
the girl, ''you can understand how de-
lighted l am to see you"
She paused as if trying to select an
appropriate phrase.
"Me, hope" said Bangs, laughing.
Don't hesitate to say it. am too old
to mind fattery. And am very glad
to see you. did not know you were
in Boston,
"We are here for few days." said
Mrs. Lorne. "We came up from New
port where we are spending the sum-
mer. had just mailed card to you.
We are staying at the Ashton's, and
hope to see YOU"
''Yes, indeed" said Florence. II have
a great deal to say to you. You know
met your brother in Newport"
"Yes; Lawrence wrote me about it
Immediately"
"Indeed," said Florence, and she gave
a peculiar look right over the top OF
Bangs head.
Bangs turned and saw Paddy staring
open-mouthed at the carriage. In half
minute he began to advance towards
it.
Great Cesarr muttered Bangs. 81
can't let him get within speaking dis
tance."
But Paddy steadily advanced. Bangs
had the ball in his hand, and in des-
peration he threw it with tremendous
force and high over Paddy's head.
He'll have to chase it to the other
end of the lot," thought Bangs, as he
turned toward the carriage.
Splendid, splendid" cried Florence,
clapping her hands.
Bangs wheeled around. Paddy had
scared into the air like a bird, and had
captured the ball with one hand.
That's all my doing" said Florence,
proudly. 81 talked to him."
''You talked to him?" repeated Har-
ry, in amazement.
"Yes, | gave it to him good tell
you. told him that he was just sim

ing all your hearts. said that he ought
to do something for the university. OF.
course | oughtn't to have done it. but
told you that l was going to. He didn't
like it much. thought that he was
seriously offended. But it seems that
it did him good"
Bangs gasped. He wondered what
could be the matter with his head. He
couldn't make the least sense of what
the girl was saying.
"We had quite quarrel" the girl
continued. "He said that so far as he
had been able to learn the best ball
player in the country was an ignorant
Irishman; and said: He can't be so
very ignorant because he can teach the
learned Lawrence Bangs something.
He can teach him how to play ball. ;"

BUYING A TITLE.
1t Is Always Dear at Half Price for
American Girls.

1t Is Always Dear at Half Price for
American Girls.
The American in Paris of whom one
longest hesitates to speak is the wom-
al who has married title. Few of her
illusions have been realized. A title, or
the satisfaction of being a countess or
princess, when viewed from Broad
way or Fifth avenue point of view, is
c. very pretty and desirable object. But
as the title has to be worn in Paris and
rot in New York, its Importance lies
in the way it is considered there, nos
here. AS far as appears on the sur
face, the American woman of title in
Paris fails to win what she sought,
from either her own people or those
among whom she has married. To her
friends from New York or San Fran
cisco she is still Sallie This or Eleanor
That. When they return to New York
they speak casually of how they have
been spending the summer with the
Princess So-and-So, and they do not
add that she used to Ee Sallie Spriggs.
of San Francisco. But in Paris, when
they are with her, they call her Sallie
just as of yore, and they let her UNDER
stand that they do not consider her
in any way changed since she had be-
come ennobled. Her husbands rela-
tives in France are disappointing; they
certainly cannot be expected to see her
in any different light from that of an
outsider and nobody; they will not
even admit that she is pretty; and they
say among themselves that, so long
as Cousin Charles had to marry great
fortune, it is pity he did not marry
a Frenchwoman, and that they always
had preferred the daughter of the choc-
olate-maker, or the champagne-grow-
er, or the Hebrew banker-all of whom
were offered to him. The American
princess cannot expect people who
have had title and ancestors so long
as to have forgotten them to look upon
Sallie Spriggs, of California; ,as anything
better than an Indian squaw. And the
result is that all which the American
woman makes by her marriage is the
privilege of putting her coronet on her
handkerchief and the humble defer
ence of the women at Paquin's or
Virot's, who say Madame, the baron
ess" or Madame the princess" at every
second word. 1t really seems a very
heavy price to pay for very littley
These French titles created by Napo7
leon, or the Italians, with the titles cre-
ated by the papal court, and the small
fry of other countries are not good
investments. They are not titles; as
some one has said, they are epitaphs;
and the best thing to do with the young
American girl who thinks she would
like to be princess, is to take her
abroad early in life, and let her meet
u few American girls who have become
prineesses. After that, if she still
wants to buy prince and pay his debts
and supply him with credit to run into
more debt, she has only herself to
blame, and goes into It with her pretty
eyes wide open. - Richard Harding

MANY THINGS.
We Are Prone to Concentrate On
One Idea.
Products of Nature That Are Manifold
Blessings to Man.

Blessings to Man.
Whenever you see glass of bright,
clear, sparkling water, you at once
think what delightful drinking water
that is. You never think of it as be-
ing especially useful for boiling pota-
toes or for bathing the face. You
only think of it's power to quench the
thirst. And yet this is only one of its
many desirable properties.
When you see a bright, hot fire in
winter, you think at once how easily
you could keep warm by remaining
near it. The thought does not occur
to you that fire has hundred other
uses.
Whenever cod-liver oil is mentioned,
many people think at once of con-
sumption, as if this was the only dis
ease to which this valuable remedy
was adapted. Perhaps this is not
strange when we consider the fact that
cod-liver oil stands out as the most
prominent remedy in this terrible af-
lection. In fact, as water quenches
the thirst, and as fire gives warmth, so
does cod-liver oil bring health and
prosperity to those just beginning to
fade from serious lung trouble.
Of late years, however, it has been
known that consumption is caused by
germ. 1t is also known that cod
liver oil does not kill this germ. And
there is also the fact that this same
oil will cure consumption in its early
stages. If it does not kill the germ Of
the disease, how does it affect a cure?
This is easily explained. Cod-liver
oil has wonderful power to build up
and invigorate the whole body. When
the body is in this prosperous condi-
ton, it can take care of the germs of
consumption; that is, it destroys the
germs, and thus removes the cause of
the disease. For this reason cod-liver
oil is called powerful tonic and re-
constructive; while it is also known
to be a most valuable food.
From this we can see the value of
such remedy in number of ailments.
There are many persons who begin
the work of each day in thoroughly

quantities of tonics and iron prepara-
tions of all kinds, but without relief.
There is no appetite; bowels are con-
stipated circulation is poor; the lips
are pale; the ears are colorless; and
the whole body is in debilitated and
most uncomfortable state. Scott's
Emulsion of Cod-iver Oil with Hypo-
phosphites changes all this. Soon the
blood becomes richer; the heart beats
stronger; color returns to the face;
digestion is improved; and good
health is once more at hand.
Scott's Emulsion contains more pure
Norwegian Cod-liver Oil than any other
emulsion in the world, that will stand
the test of time as being a perfect in
separable emulsion. Ask your doctor.

''Why, of course. There; he's coming
at last"
Bangs heard the sound of Paddy's'
feet on the sidewalk as he came down
from his leap over the fence. Another
second and 1.-The wonder" was beside
him.
'Take off your hat, you monkey"
whispered Bangs, in Paddy's ear, and
Paddy pulled it off, as if it was nailed
to wall and he was tearing it down.

Florence, archly, "but it seems that
you remembered what | said to you"

Good, splendidl' cried Florence,
laughing heartily. II see you've taken
more than one lesson from the Irish
man you spoke of. Come, mother, we
mustn't interrupt the good work"
She nodded cheerily to Bangs and
Paddy. The carriage moved away.
Bangs rubbed his head with the left
hand catcher's glove, which is the size
of ham; but IL did not produce fric-
ton enough to stimulate his mind in
the proper degree

Bangs said never word He led
the way to the rooms. AS they en-
tered young man rose from a chair
and advanced toward them. He was
very tall, and his legs were inordinate-
ly long.
"Brother Harry" said he, extending
his hand. Don't you know me?"
Lawrence! Well, upon my word,
you have grown yard since saw you
last, And you've changed-changed
every way"
"Your brudder?" said Paddy. well,
say, I'm t'inllin' he ought to be mine.
If he amt dead ringer for me den

Lawrence was staring hard at Paddy,
and the elder Bangs gaped upon them
as they stood facing each other.
''There certainly is remarkable PES
semblance between us, !" said Lawrence,
land, if | am not mistaken that was
what you intended to imply"
Say, if you'd get your hair cut, re-
sponded Paddy, 81 wouldn't be dead

t'inlzin' it might be you.'
Harry Bangs sank into chair, and
pressed his hands to his head. He did
more thinking in the next two minutes
than he had done in any month of his
life.
