A PUN GOT HIM A LIVING.

A story is told of an English clergy
man who owed his appointment to a
rich living to lucky pun. He was
tutor to the son of a nobleman, and
had not long taken orders. when he
attended the funeral of the rector Of
the parish IN WHICH the nODIemau's
seat was situated.
The father of his pupil was patron
of the living, and was also present at
the funeral of the deceased rector.
There was young clergyman present
whose grief was so demonstrative that
the noble patron was much affected by
the sight, and asked if the young man
was son of the deceased gentleman.
ooh, dear, no, my lord-no relation
at ALL" said the tutor.
mo relation!" exclaimed the clergy
man in surprised tone.
None, my lord; he is the curate,
and think that he is not weeping for
the dead, but for the living"
His lordship, who was something of
a wit and cynic himself, was SO de-
lighted with the bonmot that he con-
ferred the living upon the ready puns-
ter

Nothing came of the. one solitary

Of him than did the lowest servant in
the household; his thoughts, his mind,
his plans, his desires, his interests, his
amusements. his pleasures, were all
strange to her. It was an unheard-of
position, an unheard-of fate.
Three weeks had passed away, and
Lord Caraven began to wonder how
much longer he was to remain in Paris.
IT he had been free to follow his own
inclinations, they would have led him
to the gaLiing-tables at Baden-Baden.
But, as he said impatiently, he had no

How long would she expect to re-

there. The house was spacious, and
It would be possible for him to move

Pernape some such thought occurred

In the drawing-room.

do you believe in the Ravensmere
ghosts?" he asked, laughingly.
Il have never heard of them. But in
large house like this should not care
to feel that I was quite alone"
"You shall choose for yourself" he
said, briefly.
Perhaps the hour that followed was
the happiest that Hilddred had known
since her marriage.
He talked to her, and showed her
the various art treasures, the costly
pictures, the statues, the ancient ar
NOR. She was. pleased and bright and
interested in all he said. He showed
her the library, where the accumulated
treasures of so many scholars lay.
When she had seen and admired all.
he said to her:
IF all these were on the verge of
destruction, and one woman came for
ward to save it, what would you call
her?"
II should call her the good angel of
the house." she replied, not having the
least idea that he was referring to her.
He bowed to her.
THAT shall be my name for you,"
he said. ''You shall be the good angel
OF the house."
She had chosen her rooms in the
western wwing-rooms that opened on
to a broad beautiful terrace-from the
windows of which one saw pleasant
glimpses of garden and distant land
scape. The housekeeper, Mrs. Hamp-
ton, showed her over the whole suite.
Lady Caraven preferred these.

Mildred thought to herself that there
had never been another Lady Caraven
like her. She had been married-so it
seemed from the words her husband
had just spoken-for her money; she
was not there because she was be-
loved by the master Of the house, but
simply as an appendage of her money.
It mattered but little what rooms she
chose; she did not at present even feel
so much at home as did the servants in
the house.

the handsome, debonair earl.
It was chilly evening at the end
OF October when the Earl and Countess
of Caraven reached Ravensmere. No
preparations had been made to receive
and wei-0me them. There was no gath
ering of tenantry. The earl's tenants
simply detested the sound of his name.
They had been so heavily burdened,
so taxed and tormented by the earl's
confidential agent Mr.. Blantyre, that
they had no welcome left for his mas
ter. They considered him an unjust
landlord, and they did not scruple to
say So There were no glad shouts of
welcome for him; even the curly head
ed children had heard so often of the
earl's folly and neglect that they had
no cheer for him when his carriage
drove through the streets of Court
Raven. Nor was there any warm well
come from the servants. They were
most of them new ones; as the old re-
tainers had died off or gone away, the
earl had never retained them. The
house had become dilapidated; the ser
wants were few, the stables empty.
1t was all different now-John Blan-
tyre had had carte blanche. The in
terror of the castle had been beauti-
fed, decorated, and refurnished; we'll
trained servants had been brought
from London; the stables had been
filled. There was general air Of pros
perity about the place, so that the earl
hardly knew it again.
Did Lord Caraven miss the well
come? Did he see that he was disliked
by his tenants-that his servants
seemed to have no interest in him?
Did it strike him that life of self
Indulgence always brings its own re-
ward? Lady Caraven gazed with won
der at the magnificent home which was
to be hers. The first words she said
TO her husband were:
'I had no idea that Ravensmere was
30 large"
He looked half incredulously at her.
did you not really feel interested
enough in the place to ak about it,"
he inquired.
II was very much interested in it,
she replied, quietly, but never
thought of asking any questions"
Il should have fancied that you
would know all about It," he said
''the number of rooms and their con-
tents. I am surprised that you do
not"
She did not in the least understand
the DRIFT Of his words. That he should
ever fancy that she was mercenary
that she wanted the full value for all
che money she had brought him, never
occurred to her.

BUYING A LARGE ESTATE

Several Capitalists Are Now Engaged In
That Occupation
The starting of a new great country
estate is always matter OF interest
says Harper's Weekly. The tendency
in rich city men toward that sort Of en-
slargement is Of recent growth, and it
is natural that there should be ex-
amp1es Of 1t in increasing numbers
near New York. E. H. Hartman, rail-
way giant-the same enterprising man
who carried ship load OF scientists to
Alaska in 1899-has bought himself
10000 acres of land in, Orange and
Rockland counties, New York, to the
west and north of Tuxedo and edging
over toward Goshen. Orange county is
still famous for its butter and Mr..
Hartman doubtless intends to keep a
cow. His further intentions have not
as yet transpired except as shown by
considerable Investments in roads.
