SHADOW fell across An
drew Barton's desk. He
Jooked ?p. A roan bad en
tered bis room and was
standing by one of the -win
dows intently regarding
Liai. Andrew turned a little farther
in hts desk chair and looked nt the
man. He was stout and below the
^medium height. He might have beeu
fforty-five. There was no trace of gray
ia either his coarse black bair or his
short black beard. His face was flushed
and his steely blue eyes glittered with
the intentness of his glance.
"Do you wish to see rue':" Andrew
basked.
"Yes," said the stranger. His voice
ras low and deep, and Andrew fancied
there was a*peculiar accent to it. "And
now that rte seen you I Avant to talk
rto you," s
"Sit here." sold Andrew, and pointed
to a chair beside the desk.
The stranger shook his head.
- t "Xo," he said. "Wh f I have to say
?||can be better said standing."
?yf? "Very well," snid Andrew, aud turned
;?so he could face his visitor.
"My name is Rawdon," said the
iv ^stranger, "James Rawdon." He paused
I and looked hard at Andrew. "I'm thc
':, S father of Anna Rawdon."
ii Jr Andrew's face slightly flushed. Jgc
put out his h??d.
"Glad to meet you' Mr. Ra^d?n?"
he said. - .-?>.;'
+ The stranger waved aside the prof
' fered hand.
"That's as it may bo," ?ie muttered.
"We'il rind out how glad you are a
P little later on."
"? -Vi Andrew stared aL him.
. &' "Explain yourself," he said.
"All in good time," returned the
: ::;stranger. He stepped to the outer door
"?vand turned the key. "Now we can
liMbave the little affair quite to our
7 - selves," he muttered, as he met An
drew's astonished gaze. "It isn't going
TO take long-unless you drag it out.
Kow, who Is / una RawdonV"
Andrew's momentary anger nt the
maa-s act and the man's tone vanished.
Ile would humor tins singular visitor.
"Miss' Rawdon is one of the steuug
[rapliers of my office," he replied. "She.
is au unusually capable and intelligent
young woman. I assure you that both
her services and her personality arc
higbjy esteemed."
"FairAvordsi" said thc .stranger, "fair
words-aud easy said. Aud now who
ami';!'
'.You have .lust told-me that you
are Miss Rawdon's futher."
The stranger nodded.
"Trite," he said. "And that is all
yon know of me?"
"That is all," Andrew replied.
"Perhaps it's all that's creditable,"
said the stranger. "I whs--the black
sheep of my family, and a very respec
table family it is -though Fui the last
man ou earth to boast of such things.
I'm English, as you see, and an Eng
lishman whose prejudices are bitter is
not a pleasant sort of fellow. I'm an
advanced Socialist and h kicker against
the established order of things. I've
had a good education, too, though I
never made any good use of It The
? class. I found myself in-or rather that
I sought-was not a class to develop
a man's intellect. It develepod my gift
of"gab, however, and that made me a
leader among them. Terhaps it was
a bad thing for me, yet I'll not admit
that the cause is bad.- Anyway, good
or bad.T'm tied np to lt." Ile looked at
Andrew, and h's fr. wn deepened. "You
have mo sympathy with tho causo, have
you? What is your fellow man to
you? You can't see anything beyond
your bank account."
"You aro wrong there," said Andrew,
and his face showed no resentment
"I take a lively' Interest" in my fellow
meu." ' _
Tho stranger's face cleared.
"I'm just what I am," he said, "uo
better, nor worse. Anyway, I'm too
old to want to change. Oh, I know
that I have been a drag ou my family.
. My .daughter, wpuld nave been a lady
if she had had a less selfish father. I
There was nothing too good for her
?J: while her mother lived. Her mother
B was a lady, if ever there was one.
God knows why.she married me. But
she kept'things straight, and she kept
mc straight, and there was nothing she
y wasu't ready to do for our girl. And
now that she's gone"-he suddenly'
'?si passed his hand across. his forehead
H "why, things arc all at sixe3 and sev
ens. I left my work, I went back to
the old associates and tho old club, and
j my daughter had. to go out and earn
; her own living. Understand me, I'm
not an idler, I'm an agitator. I'd rather
talk than eat. Some day, maybe, I'll
show I cen fight, too." He paused ab
ruptly and stared at Andrew. "Curse
me," he suddenly cried, "If I'm not
9 reeling off a lot of cheap guff about
i: myself. That's like me. I come here
? to hav?. a reckoning with you, and
before I know it I'm talking about
myself." He stopped short and ad
vanced a little nearer. "Well, there's
iood thing gaiued. You can easily
"see that my girl's not a bli like her
father. She's her mother over again,
and no oue kuows it better than I know
it. And she's very dear to me. She's
so dear to me that if auy man as much
as gave her an evil look I'd kill him in
his tracks. Do you understand that,
Mr. Andrew Barton?"
His eyes glittered. His attitude was
menacing.
"I think I understand you," said An
drew quietly.
The man 'uodded slowly. He drew
back a little and passed his hand across
his forehead.
"My dead wife gave Anna Into my
keeping," he said. "I have neglected
her, but there are limits to this neglect.
I am her natural protector, her de
fender-her avenger, if need be."
?Andrew regarded him steadily.
"There cac be no disputing this," he
said. "But you came here to tell me
something else."
"Yes," said the older man. "And yet
that's a part of it, too." He paused a
moment. "I find it hard, glib as I am,
to explain further. Let me begin by
saying that I am the natural enemy
of every man who absorbs an undue
sitare of the wealth of the ration. I
look upon a rich man as a dangerous
parasite. I ascribe bad motives to
tura. I give him no credit for charity,
for honesty of purpose, for unselfish
ness. This to a part of my creed. I
think thc worst of these gilded pf st s of
society until I i??ow them better-and
then -I misdoubt my leniency. You.
area- prospering mau, Andrew Bar
ton?''. ":
"Yes. T-have no cause to complain."
'You are building up a great busl
he
d Wooing
?et?
"It is increasing rapidly."
"You will become a rich man?"
"IE all goes wei!."
Thc older mau glowered at thc
younger.
"I will admit that men speak well of
you," he said. "They tell me you were
a boy of the streets aud the only sup
port of an invalid mother. That's
good. Aud you have an houost face.
That couuts for something. But your
moucy is against you."
"Come, come," said Andrew, a little
sharply, "what is it you really wish to
say to me? I have listened patiently
to your strauge remarks. ?Make your
self clearer and lot us get to tho
point."
"I will," said the older mau. Uo
spoke hurriedly. Then he' loaned n
little forward aS? looked into An
drew's oyes. "What is there,'.' he slow
ly asked, "between you and my Anna?"
Andrew started and Hushed. But
the gaze that mee tho older man's did
not Hinch.
"There is nothing,'' ho said. "What
do you mean?''
"You have made love to her?"'
"No."
"You have led her to believe that
you cared for her?"
"No."
"You hare let your money blind you
to the fact that those who take their
wages at your hr ids have souls and
hearts,.aud feeling mayhap even mero
sensitive than your own?'*
'That is "false and kile talk. Why
do you come herc and acense me of
these things?"
"Your face is an honest ono and your
voice has an honest ring. Eut k.wv
can I believe 3"ou:"
"Come, come," cried Andrew," enough
of thi.?. Telr.me.at once what it ls that
prompts' you' to make these accusa
tions."
The older man bowed his head.
"My poor Anua," he said. "She came
home last uight looking sore distressed.
.What is it. my girl? I asked. She told
mc she must quit her place. I asked
why?. She sahl it was distasteful to
hereout I could seo she --as holding
something hack. 'Is the master rot
kind?' I asked. She said he was al
ways kind. And when she said It shu
looked so troubled that 1 blurted out of
a sudden, 'Is It because you love him?'
And with that she gave me a quick
look from her brown eyes-they are so
like her dead mother's-and burst into
tears. I said no more, but I kept up a
lot of thinking. Then I made up ivy
mind to seo you and have it cut with
you-and I'm here with a mind that's
toni with doubts and a heart that calla
for revenge." His voice had been
raised a little, but it suddenly dropped.
"I was going away," he said, "across
to tlie old country. They har? sent
for me. They need me. I wanted to
seo ruy Anna settled in a good home,
the wife of a good man. I'm no com
panion for her. She could not go willi
me. I cannot leave her unprotected.
But she would have napght to do with
any man I mltrht choose for her. And
now I feel her pence of mind is gone,
and her" happiness is gone." He paused,
and his eyes again sought Audrew's.
"And you blame me?"
. "I cannot help but blame you."
"Yet I tell-yon I am 10110001,1.''
"Prove it."?
"How can I?"
"You must."
Andrew looked at thc dark fa oe be
fore bini and was silent a moment.
Then be suddenly flushed.
"There is a way," he said. "Step into
this storeroom here and leave thc door
ajar. I want you to hear all that is
said. But, understand, you are not to
interrupt."
The older man looked at him doubt
fully. Then he slowly stepped to thc
storeroom door and opened it.
"Don't forget that I am herc," be
said.
"I will not forget."
Thc man disappeared as Andrew
went to the outer door and unlocked
lt. Then he returned to-his desk and
struck a bell. A boy appeared lu the
Joorway.
"Bequest Miss Rawdon to come
aere."
The girl appeared a moment later.
She paused on the threshold.
"Yes," said Andrew, as he turned
from his desk. "I wanted you, Miss
Rawdon. Sit here, please."
She came forward with her tablet
und pencil and took the chair by his
[lesk. Andrew gave her a quick
glance. She was pale. And somehow
the pallor became ber.
"Miss Rawdon," said Andrew, "are
you quite satisfied with your position
here?"
She gave a little start and a dull
red flushed her cheeks.
"I have no reason to complain," she
answered. .
Andrew hesitated.
"For some time I Jiavc thought of
asking you to give up your place," he
isked.
"I am ready to leave at any mo
ment," she quickly remarked.
"Wait, please," h.-> said. "I wanted
you to leave because I meant to offer
rou what I hoped you would consider
1 better position."
She looked ut him with startled ex
pression.
"i have hesitated," he went on, -'be
cause I wished you to know me belter
[lrst. You have really had no chance
to get acquainted with me. I am
ifrald you regard me as a mere money
grubber. You had no reason to sup
use there wore an}- tender qu?lltios
in my make-up. And yet I want you
to know that you attracted me the
very first day you came into my em
)loy. That attraction has grown
stronger and deeper. It has been a
rreat pleasure to know that you were
ivithln call, and I dreaded to speak
he words that might part us. But this
norning I saw my error. I saw that
t was better to put the matter to the
est and learn iuy fate. I say this to
rou because I want to excuse my ab
ruptness. I am not tactful. I nm only
tactical-and I love you. Will you be
ny wife?"
The girl had been regarding him with
i troubled look. Tho baud that held
be tablet trembled. ?nei? her gaze
vas suddenly averted ar,u a rosy flush
rrept across ber pale face.
"Your'wife," she murmured.
"Yes, my wife."
There was bewilderment in her eyes
is. she slowly raised them to his lace.
"But I never dreamed you cared for
ne."
"I fancy," laughed Andrew, "that I
lave been repressing my natural emo
ions too long. But I'll promise tr
aake amends. In the meantime my
[uestion goes unanswered."
She hesitated. Then she shook *ier
'."nd, and the tears filled her eyes.
'My father would never cousent,"
she murmured.
"Your father?"
"Yes; you do not know him. lie
he has very strange ideas, lie-oh, lt
Is impossible."
"Walt, dear, I have seen your
father."
"You have seen my father?"
She gasped as she said it.
"Yes. Indeed lie is not so terrible.
You see, I made up my mind to saj
to him boldly, 'Mr. Hawdon, I IOV?
your daughter. Will you give her to
me?* M
lie raised his voice a little at these
words.
"Did you say that to my father?" ?he
gasped again.
"I said it to him."
"And he-what did he say?"
Andrew suddenly smjled.
."Well, he said quite enough to con
vince me that I had nothing to feai
m that quarter. There-the culy ob
stacle has gone. Is lt yes, Anna??
She drooped a little.
"It ls yes," she softly answered.
Ile caught tho trembling hand thai
held the tablet Abd pressed it to his
Hps.
"Yen malee me a very happy man,"
ho murmured. '.There, now, go back to

"Good-by." the girl iu.ii'murcd as she
hurried out-.
Andrew looked toward thc door of
tho storeroom.
"The v-oast is clear." he called.
The door was pushed open and Raw.

and put out lils hand. His look had
soft'?ned. The hand he extended
slightly trembled.

One afternoon In tiie years of Which
I am writing, relates .1. T. Trowbridge
In Atlantic Monthly. I elia need to ral!
npon Mr. toUg&tiow .lust aller he hue"
received a visit from Dr. Holmes.
"What a delightful man be is!" saii
he. "Dut he has left me, as he gener
ali}* does, with a headache." NVfc'en 1
inquired the cause, ha Implied: "Tin

rapid than, mine that I often lind ii
ditiieult lo follow him, and if I leeor,

headache is the penalty.'*
Every cue who knew thc Autocrat
must hive been impressed by this trail
ascribed to him by Longfellow-UK
extraordinary rapidity of his menta',
processes, Kot that ho talked fast,
but that his turns of (bought Wore sur
piisingly bright hud quick, and ofier,
i lade with a kind of scientific precision
agreeably lu contrast with Ibo loose
ness of statement commonly charac
;erising Those who speak volubly and
?bink fast.
Longfellow had a fund of quint humoi
in relating traditions connected witt
the old house, one cf which commemo
rated air occasion when Washington
was said to have Indulged in the laugh
ter HO rare with him. It was wher
General Putnam brought to headuuar
ters an old woman taken as a spy
whom he carried, reluctant nuc
struggling, on his back, into the housi.
-a sight which proved too much foi
the gravity even of tho Father of llb
Country. . . . After the ladies (some
stranger callers) were gone I askec:
Mr. Longfellow if sucn visits were not
sometimes a bore to him. "Yes," IK
said, "if the comers are pretentious oi
shallow-minded: then I make as quiet
work with them ns courtesy will al
low. But these were sincere persons
and I am glad to have afforded them c .
pleasure which was evidently so mod
to them, and which they will reinembci
all their lives."
His conversation was simple and
easy, and often enlivened by a genia!
pleasantry, to me more welcome than
tlic wit that keeps thc listener toe
much alert. I never heard him make s

rro-.luclnir Cold Artificially.
The production of cold by artificia:
meaus began in the warmer climates
especially in India. China and Egypt
wherc ice and snow were not availa
ble. It "was early discovered that
porous receptacles would keep the con
tents cooler than non-porous. In Egypt
and East India the vessels containing
the water to l>e frozen were covered
with stalks of corn or sugar cane. Ref
erences arc found In thc works of
many ancient autliors indicating that
some of the principles of artificial toi
frigeration were understood by thc!
Greeks and practiced by them lu cool
ing water and various other drinks.
The Egyptians were accustomed to al
low jars of boiling water to remain oM
Cue roofs over night, and in the morn
ing moisten thom with water on the
outside, bind them with grass or plants,
and put them in trenches. The discov
ery of the principle that hot water ex
posed to the air ls susceptible of great
er evaporation than cold is generally
ascribed to Nero, al I bough Aristotle
relates that, If it was desired to coo!
water suddenly, lt was customary tc
expose It first to the sun's rays. It ls
believed that saltpett r for refrigerating
purposes was first used by thc Italiaus
in 1550. The liquid to be cooled wai
put Into a little-necked bottle, whicl:
was immersed in a receptacle filled
with cold water. Saltpeter was then
added to the water of the outer vessel
and the bottle containing the liquid
to bo cooled was twirled around on
Us axis like a modernice cream freezer.

Old bachelors know a great deal
about women. If they did not, they
wouldn't be old bachelors.
Nobody knows why a woman when
she trips over a rocking chair always
blames her husband for it as ..oon as
he comes home.
During courtship, he talks and she
listens. After marriage, the order
is reversed, or else they both talk, and
the neighbors listen.-July Smart Set.
