AN AMBITIOUS MOTHER
By DONALD ALLEN
tc0Dyrish,. ION. By A..oeia..4 La.r.l, P.s..',

Up to the time the hair hanging
down her back was coiled up, and her
dresses lowered to her shoe tops, Miss
Irene Nixon enjoyed life. She had
her childish diversions and her play
mates, and II she also had her disap-
pointments they were not bitter ones.
Her widowed mother belonged to the
middle class, and she had Just a fair
income.
Then things changed almost in
day. II was a legacy to the mother
that did it. II disclosed a side of her
character that on one had suspected.
Miss Irene was at once forbidden to
associate with this one and that one,
and when the list had been culled out
she found herself standing almost
alone. She must hereafter act so and
so, and she must hereafter not act
so and 30. Where she had chummed
with a girl she must now give her
only a distant bow. Where she had
walked home from school with this or
that boy, she must now pass him as II
unaware Of his existence. That money
was to make all the difference in the
world. The daughter understood that
money was good thing to have. but
she could not understand why It
should almost outlaw her. In forming
friendships she had never considered
the money side of the question. She
had judged by character Instead of
wealth.
None of the Widow Nixon's friends
had ever considered her ambitious in
a social way. Perhaps that feature
was lying dormant. At any rate, she
had scarcely counted the money left
her by a rich sister when social am
bition came to the surface to work
great changes.
She decided almost at once that the
daughter could not be exclusive
enough at home to finish her educa-
ton, and the girl was sent to a board
ing school where exclusion was the
motto. Then came the family tree.

A eeneaIoaIst Called.

Mrs. Nixon had never been greatly
worried as to whether the Nixon fam
lily dated back to king or pirate.
Her husband and her husbands father
had been business men Of good char
acter. and that had suficed her. Now
II was different. She had the money
and she sighed for lineage.
There are so-called genealogists who
make II their business to keep in
touch with the newly rich and furnish
them with pedigrees to match their
cash. 1t had scarcely become known
to the widows circle that she had re-
ceived a legacy when a genealogist
called. He had the look of a pro-
fessor even to the dandruff on his coat
collar. He had been in the profession
thirty years. He had traced the an
cestors of 1900 families and hauled
them into the light of day. He had
never made a mistake. His terms
were the lowest of any responsible
party. For the sum Of $500 he would
trace the Nixons back to the cave
dwellers of England
The Widow Nixon agreed to the bar
gain so promptly that the fellow never
forgave himself for not asking a thou
sand. Yes. he was commissioned to
hunt. and hunt he did. and in the
course of ninety days he had turned in
his report and received his cash.
And from whom had the Nixons de-
scended and Jacob Nixon never sus-
pecting 1t through all his life? II did
not go back to the cave dwellers. but
started at Harry. king OF the Morse
men. Right there was the beginning.
and IT came down to the widow as
straight and easy as streak Of mo-
lasses skating across a kitchen floor.
