A Case of American Push ; j (V [Original. | il's no use. Pete; father i> immo\abie. He wants me to marry some <1 ix tinguishcd personage. lie lias always ; l.een sensitive about our family name ^ ami would like tue to change it for n better one." "Brown is better than Skrable." "lie doesn't think so. Mrs. Peter i Brown would be but little improvement on Miss Alice Skrable." j The lover went awav sorrowful, i ?no day Brown's eye fell on a paragraph In a newspaper that set hl:r? thinking. He thought sill day and most of the night. When he awoke in the morning his thoughts went right , on like Jin automobile in which the ] stopping apparatus has become tinman- i i agcahle. 11 * thought a wnoie wock, at i i the ond of which lio brought his list i J down on a table ami exela lined: "I'll do it 1" j i From that time Krow n's law partner ; noticed that In; was paying very little ! nttontion to business. Ho seemed to ! i l?r spending all his time searching for 1 something. It was not a legal matter, for no legally drawn papers appeared ! i to he passing through his hands He ! , received a great many loiters, hut nov- i or spake of the contents of any one of j Ilieni. Indeed, whatever was his purpose he kept it a profound secret. Then suddenly Hrown announced that lie was going abroad, liis partner. astonished and dissatisfied, threatened to dissolve the firm, complaining that Hrown would leave him to do all th?? work?it was not ouerotts?and was keeping important matters from hint. Hrown told him just enough to satisfy | him. then suddenly disappeared. Six months passed. The Skrahle family. Alice excepted, had forgotten I Mr. Hrown and were greatly pleased i i to have an opportunity to him. , 11 i -t intiinuic friends wondered where ho was ami how lit' obtained the mean* 1 to spend so much time awny from i home. Some one said that tin uncle, his mother's brother, was furnishing him ! wltli money. This tvns true. The undo ' supplied him with barely enough for bis purpose. Brown's partner sat in his otlico waiting for clients who did not come and wished for Brown, who was a pushing fellow and had many ingenious methods of semiring business. "JIave you heard from Brown?" everybody .asked of everybody, and everybody replied: "No. Have you?" "No. I wonder where he is and what lie's tip to." "Oh. lie's got some wild scheme on hand. But, no matter how wild Brown's schemes, he has a way of carrying them out. He's probably getting a contract for replacing the street cars in some foreign city with American (lying machines. But he'll do it. You hot, he'll work it through." There was a good ileal of such talk, and the uncle who was "grub staking" Brown looked very knowing whenever approached on the subject, but said nothing. All this increased the curiosity of Brown's friends and acquaintances. One day a steamer arrived, and in the passenger list published was the name of Sir I'eter Brown. The name, in the minds of Brown's friends, had no connection with hint whatever. Some of them saw it. but went on with their daily avocations just the same. It occasioned not the slightest ruffle among tlicm. but the next morning a paragraph in a newspaper lot out tlio sccrot <>f Itvowii's absence. and none of Jiis frionds did anything during flio | day except visit olio another and gossip with mouth ami oyos wide open 1 upon this exploit. This xvas the paragraph referred to: Our follow citizen. Peter Brown. has jest returned from a 11 i|> to England, where ho has established his right to the b.ironetry granted in hViJ to Hugh Brown, after the restoration of Charles 11.. for loyalty to the house of Stuart, dormant since 17S3. These few lines were ipiite enough to stir every one who hail ever heard of Peter Brown, l'or a week nothing else wits talked of. and every one wondered thai Brown had never been heard to elaitn any relationship whatever with any Intro net. Meanwhile invitations were showered upon Sir Peter, and cards es'.ine from the Skrahle family for a nntsieiile. Sir Peter aeeepied. and during the evening lie end the smiling Alice vanished into a corner by themselves. "Come, tell me Jill about it." she asked. "How diil yon ever do it?" "One morning I read ;i paragraph in a newspaper stating that :is the law of England now stands any man can as- I siime with impunity some presumably I extinct or dormant baronetcy prior to ' ITS". A recent work, called 'Extinct and Horuuint Baronetcies,' says that a thousand Of these lilies have lapsed between lite original creation and the present day. Of those the majority became extinct or dormant before 17S.1. Armed with its much information about my family its I could collect. 1 went to England to find n dormant Brown baronetcy. I lighted on the one granted Hugh Brown. I proved that my ancestors came from the same Miintv 5i if I lif>fiu-r> I crit throiifrh made tho discovery that I am roallv S(p I'ctor Brown." . I Alloo Skralde clapped her hands, tlion 1 throw her arms around hor lover's nook. j Trj a few days the engagement of Sir Peter Brown and Alice Skrable was announced, and they were married in duo time.
