Paul'sScarab.
By ANNA MUNSON.
Copyrighted, 1908, by Associated
Literary Press.

The professor laid the scarab on the
tablecioth and slipped from the room
to obtain magnifying glass.
'I'm glad that there ia something
about me that he likes" said DIR. Paul
Harper grimly. Il asked him last
night for permission to marry you. and
he told me that he had determined that
you should marry man who would
not only appreciate his collection, but
would add to it."
Lena Cation nodded saseiy. Already
she had received more than a hint of
her fathers plans for her future hap
piness.
He means Professor Katsinscr,"

sat glowering upon the Psychologist,
while the old man studied the odd
scarab with wondrous eyes.
At last with reluctant fingers he re-
turned the scarab to Paul and went to
his study, while Paul and Lena slipped
out for walk. Ever since Paul had
been an undergraduate at the college
he had loved Lena, and now that he
had come back to demand her hand in
marriage 1t was shock to find that
the scientist had determined to sacri-
fee his daughter, as he had everything
else, to his beloved collection.
1t was the finest private collection
Of scarabs extant, and It was the pro-
fessor's wish that the work might be
carried on by his son-in-law. To this
end he had looked with favor upon
Professor Katzinger, who shared his
enthusiasm for the collection.
Lena did not share her fathers lik-
ing for the German professor, and she
was very much in love with Paul. but
the habit of obedience was strong
within her. and even with Paul plead
ing his case In person he could not in
duce her to agree to runaway match,
though she did promise to make every
effort to evade a marriage with Kat
ringer.
With this promise Paul had to rest
content. but 1t was with little of the
elation which had marked his coming
that he took his departure 1t was
plain to be seen that the professor
cared more for the advancement of his
collection than he did for his daught-
ter's happiness. or, more correctly, he
convinced himself that the two inter
ests were Identical. In the eyes of
Professor Cation. man who did not
care for scarabs was no man at all
and not fit to marry his daughter.
His only interest in Paul lay in the
latters possession of the odd scarab,
the like of which he had not seen be-
fore in his vast experience. He was
shocked at the careless fashion in
which Paul carried it about in his
waistcoat pocket. and when. just be-
fore the younger mans departure, he
found the precious scarab On the stairs
he told himself that it served Paul
right If he lost the treasure.
At the moment he had no thought of
retaining 1t, but when Paul, missing
the scarab, made inquiry the profess
or, why he would not say, denied hav-
ing seen 1t, and the mischief was done.
He told himself that he would pretend
to find 1t before Paul left, but now
Paul was gone and the scarab still re
posed in the private compartment of
the professors safe, while the finder
went about with heavy sense OF
guilt.
Not by any chance would 1t be pos
sible now to find" the missing treas
ure, and the impulse for moment
had made him a thief.
The thought gave him an odd sense
of anger. He blamed not alone him
self. but Paul. whose carelessness haC
