Tom Grover’s
Courtship
By SARAH BAXTER
“What does this
rl.
s — mean, Lord Tite-
wad?* asked Tom Grover, a yonug
American multimllliouaire. “You agreed
to engineer my entree into London so
ciety for a consideration and $25,000
placed where It would do the most
good, and here I am placed in a posi
tion that should lilsure my banishment
from any respectable social circle.”
“Weally, Mr. Grover, I—I”—
“I would rather,'- the other went on
angrily, “have had this happen in any
. other family than the Grosveuork
This check is returned by Marian
Grosvenor, every inch a lady, with a
note as cutting as a Saracen scimitar.
1 don't care so much for my ruin with
London society as I do for the opinion
of Miss Grosvenor.”
“You will not be ruined with London
society on this account. Mr. Grover,
for the matter will never pass beyond
the Grosvenor family. I have been
sending such checks to Lady Gros
venor for several years When the
note cohtalning this one was delivered
Lady Grosvenor was out of town, and
it fell into the tf^nds of Miss Marian.
As for London society, if an entrance
to it can be bought, society is plso in
terested in keeping such slips us this
in the dark. But, as I have said, the
Grosvemors are not likely to men
tion it”
“Not even Miss Marian?” ^
“Good gracious, man. do you sup
poce she would publish such a matter
about her own mother?”
“I must straighten the matter out
« 'wlth this high spirited young wo^ian
,.',lt requires-ten years and my for
tune. You understand the family i>e-
culiarities better than I; toil me of
some favorable point of attack."
Lord Tltewnd si>ent seme time In
thought, during which Grover walked
the floor like a fretful tiger; then the
former said:
“Miss Grosvenor 1* much interested
in the Waterloo hospital ”
- The American looked at him inquir
ingly for a few momenta, then said:
“I see. That will do. Lord Tttewad.
You need not concern younieif any fur-
. ther In my introduction to London so
ciety. Had I known how you Intend
ed to work It I should have declined
your proposition. 1 supposed you would
us« the funds 1 advanced in business
operations which would bring ms Into
contact with men of social Influence."
"There is a large amount unex
, pended." - ’
— "Keep It Good morning.”
Grover wrote the young lady whose
feelings had been Injured, explaining
the matter aa best be could and beg
glng her to accept the check which he
made payable to her order to behalf of
any good work she might select On
receipt of her reply It was evident that
the lady was somewhat placated, for
she wrote that she had been much
pleased to learn that Mr. Grover was
not res|H>nsIbte for the insult that hod
been offered, and she had turned fn
his donation to the WateHoo hospital.
Grover dropped the matter for the
time, but when the Christmas holidays
were approaching be wrote Miss Gros
venor another note, saying that he
waa used to making gifts at Christmas,
hot being in a strange land he knew
not where to bestow them and would
she kindly help him out. Miss Gros
venor returned a Hat of two charitable
institutions, a church that needed com
pletlon and the names and addresses
of nine poor families In whom she
took an Interest Mr. Grover Inclosed
a check for £5.000, a thousand each for
the church and the Institutions and the
iv??*t to he distributed among the poor
Miss Grosvenor according to her
u sweet wilt
Mr. Grover had now spent £G.000
through a girl with whom a love af
fair had been begun and plp|>ed in the
bud by an error. And yet he was as
far from restoration as ever. Having
been placed in the iwsltion of having
tried to buy her acquaintance. If he
asked for it now It would still look
an attempt at purchase. On the
other side, the girl fidt so sensitive
about the revelation that her mother
was keeping up the family status by
such quesffonable means that slpe-
would not suggest a resumption of the
acquaintance.
However, the barrier between them
did not remain there long. On Dec. 30
he wrote Miss Grosveqor that on New
Y'ear’s day in America calls were in or
der and If she would graciously permit
bim to make on her the only call be
< ared to make in London he would not
trouble her further, for he was about
to sail for home. .
Grover’s attempt to make Miss Gro*
venor's acquaintance was a very round-
sbout and expensive one, but when he
reached the last sta^e it wqs very sim
ple. Miss Grosvenor replied that It
would be very ungracious for him to
leave London without giving her an
opportunity to"than1t him for the gen
erous gifts he -had bestowed on the
London poor and suffering. She would
be delighted to receive him.
It cannot be expected that the meet
ing between the two bould occur with-
ont embarrassment on both sides. Mr.
Grover had t£e tact to make his call
very short, giving some trumped up
reason for haste, hut begged pennis-
to can again before his departure,
be would be less hurried, to'say
by. It is needless to say that the'
KQuest was granted, and be frit en
couraged.
If Grover bad any Idea of an early
return to America after receiving this
permission, be gave it up later. Ha
remained in England six months longer,
and when be returned Marina
with him aa bis wttm.

Clow Picture* Are Spectacular and
Easy te Make.
To piake glow pictures forty parts of
saltpetri 1 arc added to twenty parts of
gum amble, and the whole is dissolved
in forty rvirts of water. An ounce%r
two of this mixture will be sufficient
to prepare a good many pictures. A /
few sheets of white paper should next
be secured, and this should be rather
thin, similar to that which is used for
typewriting. -
Now take a clean pen and draw the
picture on the paper, using the solu
tion. which .should he slightly warmed
by standing the bottle in hot water.'
Anything may be delineated, the only
essential point being that all the lines
must connect. The final line should be
drawn down to the corner of the sheet
and this spot may be indicated wfth a
pencil cross. Hang the sliftcta up to
dry. and when the process is complete
the lines are practically Invisible.
To diring up the picture first of all
turn down the borders of the sheet of
paper In such a way that It Is raised
above the surface which will not be in
jured by the slight smoldering of the
paper. Get a mutch light ib plac
ing the glowing end ol Tie point where
the pencil cross was made on the sheet.
A trail of red fire will at once start
to burn out the picture, following the
lines which have been drawn. No other
part of the design catches on fire save
that which has been treated with the
solution. Finally the picture stands
up In strong black lines, and tbe effect
Is very curious. There is absolutely no
danger from fire In this little experi
ment.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
INTENSIVE WHEAT GROWING.
Startling Results Claimed For a Rus
sian’s Methods.
Some years ago. says an English put>
llcatlon. a UnssUm.Jttrmer discovered
a method .at-lncreaslng the yield of
wheat in so startling a manner that no
one believed he was telling the truth.
The Russian declared that it was pos
sible to get seventy pounds of grain
from one seed and to msk»'aie tore
carry forty-five tons.
That does sound like a miracle, and
we do not vouch for U. but here is tin*
method, and if any farmer has the pa
tience to try It be will certainly be sur
prised at the result.
Each groin is planted separately is a
sunken bed about fifteen inches deep
and three and a half feet In wldtl)-
As soon as the grain sprouts the little
blade la covered with a thin layer of
earth about an luck and a half In
depth. The result Is that you get three
stalks Instead of one. At the end of
three weeks tbe hoe comes into use
again, and tbe three stalks being cat
ered with earth, turn Into nine stalks.
This process on being repeated a third
time results In twenty seven stalks,
and the Russian In question repeated
it ten times In all. so that at laat each
grain produced 59.(M9 stalks If tbe
seed is first sown In the ordinary fash
Ion and then transplanted to tbe pit be
fore mentioned you get an even strong
er growth, so that after only eight cov
erings more than 105.000 stalks have
been produced from * single grain.—
