says. mustn't IL II you'd only go at II
and do something heroic. Can't you
save mothers life In some way? Can't
some great danger threaten her and
you rescue her."
VIII Pelham had known Glynn
Burnham for year or more, and he
had been engaged to her for the last
three months, though II was secret
engagement. He lived In the city and
had graduated as a mining engineer
and was looking for place. He had
no money to speak of. and he did not
go into society much, but those who
knew him spoke In HIS praise. He
had an uncle living near the widows
/ country house, 10 miles out, and he
had been coming down to see that
uncle every Saturday afternoon and
| finding his way over TO the other
! house. The mother had never had n
very warm welcome for him. Now she
had put her foot down She wanted

not call at the house any more. II
Glynn wouldn't elope with him he
must give her up. While he was
holding down place In Montana or
Nevada, thousand miles away, she
would be taken off to Europe to cap
tivate some old man with a title and
the govt.
Miss Glynn was fearful and he was
said at the parting. though neither
looked at 1t as final. II was too sud

ration. On his way over to his
uncle's young Mr.. Pelham noticed the
proud and ambitious mother In the
meadow culling daisies She had
gone forth TO give the daughter an
opportunity to repeat her words
Forty rods farther along the highway
he noticed brindle COW looking over
the fence at the widow and shaking
her head and giving other signs OF
anger.
Only a civil or mining engineer

difficulties, whether above or below
the surface. would have stopped for
five minutes to wonder how to bring
that brindle COW and that ambitious
woman together. He looked at the
woman as she culled-at the COW as
she mumbled-at the solitary tree In
the pasture, and he decided that Il
could be done He went home TO ask
of his uncle:
"Who owns that old brindle COW
over there?"
"Why, Griggson does. ! meant to
tell you about her. Don't try to cross
that field, She's pretty near killed
two tramps this summer"
That was enough for starter, and
VIII sat down to figure the rest out
TO scale. This would be an above
ground affair, but there would be some
points TO solve. For instance: How
fast can a brindle COW run? How
much faster than a brindle COW cni
young man in love run? What are
the first impressions of an ambitious
mother at seeing brindle COW com
ing for her In an open lot? Would
her second impressions bid her clint
the tree within few yards OF her
Can young man In love run around
the trunk of a tree faster than g
brindle COW not in lover
All these things entered into the
engineering problem before the young
man. but he had a week TO work nj
them before coming again. and Their,
was hopeful smile on his face. II,
knew by letter what had happened
after he left the house. The mother
had come in with her bouquet o
daisies and said
II saw that person passing alonp
the road half an hour ago"
yes, mamma.
you told him what asked you tor
Yes"
And he knows my feelings on tho
subject?'
yes"
Then we may consider the matter
as settled In reading the daily pa
pers after this. If you come acros,
any titled persons mentioned cut on
the piece and save IT, ! am glad yo,
have acted so sensibly about tn,
thing Every girls mother know
what is best for her"
