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

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. Lady Brown was furnished
