been sensitive about our family name

better one"
Drown is better than Skrable."
"He doesn't think so. Mrs. Peter
Brown would be but little improvement
on Miss Alice Skrable."
The lover went away sorrowful.
One day Browns eye fell on a para
graph in a newspaper that set him
thinking. He thought all day and
most of the night. When he awoke In
the morning his though ) went right
on like an automobile in which the
stopping apparatus has become unman-
ageable. He thought a whole week, at
the end Of which he brought his fist
down on a table and exclaimed:
"Tll do IT,"
From that time Browns law partner
noticed that he was paying very little
attention to business. He seemed to
be spending all his time searching for
something. 1t was not a legal matter,
for no legally drawn papers appeared
to be passing through his hands. He
received a great many letters, but nev-
er spoke of the contents of any one of
them. Indeed, whatever was his pur-
pose he kept it a profound secret.
Then suddenly Brown announced
that he was going abroad. His part
ner, astonished and dissatisfied, threat
ened to dissolve the firm, complaining
that Brown would leave him to do all
the work-it was not onerous-and was
keeping important matters from him.
Brown told him just enough to satisfy
him, then suddenly disappeared.
Six months passed. The Skrable
family, Alice excepted, had forgotten
Mr.. Brown and were greatly pleased
to have an opportunity to forget him.
His intimate friends wondered where
he was and how he obtained the means

home. Some one said that an uncle, his
mothers brother, was furnishing him
with money. This was true. The uncle
supplied him with barely enough for
his purpose. Browns partner sat in
his office waiting for clients who did
not come and wished for Brown, who
was a pushing fellow and had many
ingenious methods of securing bust
ness. "Have you heard from Brown"
everybody asked of everybody, and
everybody replied: mo. Have your
mo. | wonder where he is and what
he's up to-" "Oh, he's got some wild
scheme on hand. But, no matter how
wild Browns schemes, he has a way
of carrying them out. He's probably
getting a contract for replacing the
street cars in some foreign city with
American flying machines. But he'll

There was a good deal Of such talk.
and the uncle who was grub stalking
Brown looked very knowing whenever
approached on the subject, but said
nothing. All this increased the curl
osity of Browns friends and acquaint-
ances.
One day n steamer arrived, and in
the passenger lit published was the
name of Sir Peter Brown. The name,
In the minds of Browns friends. had
no connection with him whatever.
Some of them saw it, but went on with
their daily avocations just the same.
1t occasioned not the slightest ruffle
among them, but the next morning Il
paragraph in a newspaper let out the
secret of Browns absence, and one of
his friends did anything during the
day except visit one another and Cos
sip with mouth and eyes wide open
upon this exploit. This was the para
graph referred to:

Just returned from a trip to England.
where he has established his right to the
baronetcy granted In 1862 to Hugh Brown,
after the restoration of Charles H.. for
loyalty to the house of Stuart. dormant
since 1888.
These few lines were quite enough to
stir every one who had ever heard of
Peter Brown. For a week nothing else
was talked of, and every IL wondered
that Brown had never been heard to
claim any relationship whatever with
any b%aronet. Meanwhile invitations
were showered upon Sir Peter, and
cards came from the Skrable family
for a musicale. Sir Peter accepted, and
during the evening he and the smiling
Alice vanished into n corner by them
selves.
Come, tell me all about it," she ask
ed. "How did you ever do it?'
zone morning | read a paragraph In
a newspaper stating that as the law of
England now stands any man can as
sumo with impunity some presumably
extinct or dormant %baronetcy prior to
1873. A recent work, called Extinct
and Dormant Baronetcies,' says that a
thousand of these titles have lapsed be-
tween the original creation and the
present day. OF these the majority be-
came extinct or dormant before 1873.

Alice Skrable clapped her hands, then
threw her arms around her lovers
neck.
In a few days the engagement of Sir
Peter Brown and Alice Skrable was
announced, and they were married in
due time. Lady Brown was furnished
with money by her father to buy the
original BraWn property, and the pres

SHOOTING WITH THE MACHINE.
notion however slight it may be, is
communicated to the rod and through
the goose-neck to the Indicating needle.
Facing the needle is a target-holder,
which holds the sub-target (or small
cardboard target, of which Illustration
are given) at right angles to, and about
one-eighth inch from, the pcint of the
needle. 1t may be as well to explain that
the machine is not an electrical machine,
as many people who have not seen 1t IN
working order imagine it to be. A slight
current of electricity is used, but only
for the purpose of pushing the target
holder against the needle ct the moment
Of firing. The following is the mechan-
ism by which this is accomplished: In
the base of the machine are four simple
dry-cell batteries, connected with the
rife by a wire in such a manner that
when the trigger is pulled a short ON
tact is made, and the current passed
through a wire running through the
head to the magnet, which is so con-
nected with the target-holder that, sim
%ultaneously with the passing of the cur
rent, which is. practically speaking,
simultaneous with the pulling of the
trigger, the target-holder darts forward
against the point of the needle with suf-
ficient force to puncture the sub-target
at the exact point where a bullet would
have stuck the real or objective target
under normal conditions. The whole OF
the mechanism to which the rife Is ar
tached is so counterbalanced by the
weight that the shooter receives no as
sistance whatever inv raising Or sup
porting his rifle, bat Has In his hands
the actual free weight of his weapon.
The various attachments and bearings
which transmit the position and move
ments of the rife to the rod, and thence
through the goose-neck to the indicating
needle, are so beautifully constructed
and SO free from friction that there is no
sensation of any restraint in the abso-
lutely free manipulation Of the rifle it.
self. Moreover, there is mo point OF
rest" at all; that is to say, that in no
conceivable position car the shooter re-
ceive from the machine the slightest
support or assistance in ~steadying the
rife while taking aim. BY means of the
gimbal rings and, to which the rod is
connected, the rifle is capable of being
freely moved in all directions; and
every movement is accurately followed
by the needle until the trigger is pulled
and the little sub-target punctured.
Neither the sub-target Nor the indicat-
ing needle can be seen by the marks
man. who must therefore find his own
aim, elevation, etc, just as he would
have to do in actual practice, but-and

MTCE. NOT SNAKES.

We have told about Charlie Grover
having snakes, but he claims now
that they were mice instead of
snakes. To prove it he brought
them with him from the Parlin Pow
der Works where ne is employed.
He had forty young mice in a pail,
all of which he claimed to have taken
out of one nest somewhere near the
powder works and says he can prove
it. He brought them down to have
them photographed, but not being
able to have it done at night, the
mice died by the next day and he was
disappointed.
