The Romance Of Your Name

THE earliest form Of this surname
was Stephanus, from the Chris
tian martyr and apostle, st. Stephen.
When Christianity began to be
preached in Germany and Southern
Europe, names Of the apostles became
favorite ones and many well. .estab-
lished names were changed. The
German tribes wrote 1t Steven. The
French and italians altered the name
to Stephani or Steffonani The
Danes, Angles and Saxons. who in
turn invaded England, wrote the name
Stevenson-to distinguish father from
son.
Among the early Dutch settlers In
New York was Olaf Stephenson van
Courtland (of the province Of Court
land, Holland). He later dropped the
Stephenson and retained the name
Courtland, but spelled 1t Cortland. We
find records where Richard and Chris
topher Stevenson sailed from London
to Virginia in 1885. In England many
Of the Stevensons were seated in the
counties Of Derby and Lincoln. and
bore the arms here reproduced.
Many Of the Stevensons who came
to Pennsylvania, Virginia and other
Middle Atlantic States we're Of Scotch
Irish descent. One Of the PennSyl-
vania settlers was John Stevenson,
who came from the north of Ireland.
He was the father Of Hugh Stevenson,
whose son, George Stevenson. became
an influential banker and business
man Of Philadelphia.

to, the one I dug two years ago. I'll
Just get him out OF there. I may
want that house myself one Of these
days. Even If I don't. I don't want
him In 1t. 1t is mine. I dug 1t and
no one else has right to It,"
So Johnny muttered as he ran and
quite forgot the law Of Old Mother
Nature, which gives to whoever takes
possession that which another Is not
using. Having long since given up
that house under ground, he now had
no more right to 1t than had any one
who might want it. He knew this,
but in his jealous bad humor he had
quite forgotten it.
So at last Johnny came to the
house. No one was In sight, but as
soon as he reached the doorstep he
knew that the other Chuck was down
inside.
1T knew it. knew it," growled
Johnny, gritting his teeth. TT is just
as I had thought-that fellow is in
my house He thinks that just be-
cause it was empty he can take 1t. I'll
show him whose house 1t Is. I'll pull
him out OF there and send him about
his business. He doesn't belong here,
and the sooner he understands this
the better. I'll just 90 in there and
pull him out"
But Johnny didn't go In and pull
the other Chuck out. True, he
started In, but he changed his mind.
He changed his mind and backed out.
He sat on the doorstep. You see, he
had remembered how big that other
fellow was. how big and strong and
ready to fight. In spite of his bad
humor he had sense enough to know
that he couldn't pull that other out
OF that house no matter how he tried.
"Ill have to wait for him to come
out" grumbled Johnny. I'VE can't
fight down there. There isn't room
enough for that. must wait for him
to come out. Then I'll teach him q
lesson he won't soon forget. Mean
while, I'll go over and see if Polly is
awake yet"
Now the house where Polly Chuck
had passed the Winter was some dis
tance. When Johnny got there he
knew at once that Polly had
awakened. He went down inside to
see If she were there. The house was
empty. Evidently Polly had gone out.
Why? Where had she gone? Had
she gone to the house he himself had
occupied through the Winter? He at
once hurried there. The house was
empty, There was no sign that Polly
Chuck had even been there. Johnny's
jealousy fared up again. Where was
she? Had she gone to meet some one
else? Johnny ground his teeth at
the thought.

For one thing, 1t requires q good deal
Of intelligence to carry out the man

when to become angry. He said he

Benjamin Frankhn's habit was to
