THE DUCHESS HEAD
FOR BUSINESS
By OSBORN MARSHALL

college that spring she, too, might find
a place at Miss Bingham's. But on this
day of bad news this possibility seemed
to collapse. When Jane came home from
school she wore long face. Miss
Bingham-old Miss Bingham who had
run her school for forty years-had
died.
'It will be the end of the school"
said Jane, "and it means that ! shall
have to start in all over again some
where else"
Wont Miss Bingham have a sue
eessorl Won't someone buy the
SCHOOL," asked the shocked duchess.
The question was easily answered.
Miss Bingham's school, although it
still had a high reputation for gentility,
was sadly run down. At the time of
Miss Bingham's death its accounts
showed a deficit. There had been no
changes in methods for twenty years
The roll of pupils was steadily decreas-
ing. There would be no one to buy the
school as Miss Bingham's successor. So
the property-the house with the school
room extensions-would have to be sold
regardless of their one-time value. And
the old classroom furniture would of
course go for almost nothing at auc-
ton.
Mrs. filbury, in spite of her usual
eomposute, slept not wink that night.
She didn't worry, she simply figured

called. He will also teach the classics
Jane can go on teaching history, and
Mary can have the intermediate departs
ment. So, although l shall enlarge the
enrolment, the salary budget will not
be increased. / shall pay you three with
shares in the school, your board and
small cash allowance until the business
gets on its feet"
BY commencement time Mrs. Tilbury
had put the announcements of the new
Tilbury school in circulation. By Aus
gust the Tilburys had moved to tho
schoolhouse, and $4,000 worth of im-
provements had changed that place
from a dark and dingy old-fashioned
young ladies' seminary" into one Of
the most up-to-dste schools of its size
in the region. !
In FIVE years Mrs Tilbuy had paid
off all the mortgage on the property.
She had got the school to the point
where, with the mortgage out of the
way, it yielded an income to her family
of 5000 over running expenses, which
included the upkeep of the house!
Through it all the professor had drawn
his pension and had had sufficient leisl
ure to write his lexicon.
Then one day he got an important&
looking communication from the uni-
versity with which he had been con-
nected. 1t announced to him that in
view of the splendid educational work
he had done in his private school hd
had been appointed special lecturer in
pedagogy. He would put in but fouE
hours of work week and his old SAL
ary of $500 year would be resumed
L always was of the opinion" said
the professor, as he read this news to
his family, shat the duchess had good
head for business, but I didn't know
that she could bamboozle the university
into taking back an old-timer like me.A
The Washington herald., 1914-05-31

new set of books for the professor, or a
new gown for herself, "a pretty good
business head"
And why shouldn't II" the duchess
would reply. Il have had thirty years
of about as strict training in economy
wise buying, and careful planning g-as
ever business man had. I believe
could make better living than you do
If / had the chance"
The professor didn't doubt il, but the
proposition didn't interest him. He was
perfectly content so long as the quiet Of
his study prevailed, and he had a
chance there to persue the heavy tones
bought with his wife's savings. Each
volume meant q series of economies in
household management which entailed
actual heroism. But the professor
didn't know it.
Then one day the professor came home
with beam of peculiar contentment on
his bespectacled face.

necessary to work out scheme to send
the girls to college. For the next week
she revealed none of her plans. She
visited real estate agents, carpenters,
and furniture dealers in secret. And
Jane went on at the school, which it
was agreed would run till the end OF
the term.
Then one morning at breakfast the
duchess made her announcement.
Il have decided to sell this house"
she began, and the professor agreed
that on their reduced income they had
perhaps better live in a smaller place.
But it won't be smaller" said the
duchess; ct will be larger. In fact, l
have decided to buy Miss Bingham's
school. There is an opinion that the
property is absolutely worthless as a
school. l know better. The property,
including all the furniture, l can get
for $4,000. The ground alone is worth
almost that. This house if worth 5000.
There is a 5000 mortgage; so l can
raise $1,000 on this"

property with 5000 mortgage?" asked
Jane.
"The mortgage will be $1,000. That
is, I can get control of the place for
$4,000. The other $4,000 / shall sink
in improvements and enlargements. I
intend to come up IS per cent in the
tuition this autumn. / expect to in
crease the enrolment 10 per cent in
the first term. In the meantime We can
pay for our food and clothes out of the
university half pay. We shall all live
in the Bingham house, so that the fires
that heat the school'-and here the
duchess laughed-'1 shall save in sal
aries by employing my family. That is
where l shall make my fortune. I shall
employ Prof. TiIbury as principal or
dean or whatever he desires 10 be
