CHAPTER XI
Mr. Crelghton, senior, after the first
shock and embarrassment of discover
ing the Identity of hla wife' relative,
Lady Sylvia St. Croix, with Die teach
er, Mix Bchwenckton, whom he had
Ignomlnlnusly bribed to abandon hla
eon when It waa hla dearest wish that
aha should marry him, regarded th
episode w'th vast amusement; Mrs.
Crelghton and Sylvia liked each other
on Bight ; Marvin accepted the con
firmation of Ms suspicions with out
ward calm, but Inward delirium; but
St, Croix, almost aa aoon aa he had
delivered the girt over to his mother,
had escaped from hla own devastating
situation by fleeing to Florida on the
pretext of looking Into bta father' In
terest there.
A the Interests veer not so press
ing a to necessitate hi leaving home
at thl crucial time, bl action could
be Interpreted by hla family In only
on way Sylvia must have given
him to understand quite unequivocal
ly that he, the younger aon, wa not
so acceptable substitute for hi elder
brothereven though the elder bed
long lnc flatly refused to o much
aa consider the question of marrying
her.
Mr. Crelghton could now only bop
that the apprehensions he had (uttered
lest Marvin bad fallen a prey to th
charm of tha teacher of William
I'enn achool were Indeed well founded.
The very morning after her arrival
ahe asked "Cousin Crelghton" to let
her bave a talk with blm alone. Shut
up with htm In hla atudy, tha revela
tion the there made to him of her am
bition and determination to exploit
herself at Hollywood came to him aa
a blow.
The only way you could atop me,
Cousin Crelghton," aha answered hi
argument against her plan, with sym
pathy In her ton for bla manifest de
jection, "would be to take back your
money what' left of It" 8he pushed
toward him on the tahle between
Ihem a pile of bill a penslv wist
fulness In the lovely eye ah raised
to bla "I can't go, of course, without
your money."
And If you can't go, what then?
Will you," ,be asked hopefully, "then
marry one of my aonr
"If I (aid ye to that," ehe replied
In alarm, drawing back tha bills,
"you'd take back your money! No, If
I can't go wltb your money, I'll earn
th money. And If you won't give me
a Job at mining, I warn you I'll turn
evangelist I I've heard there' money
In that I'd make pile, for I'd be
new American lensatlon an English
titled woman prancing and ranting
over your broad land a a Soul-Saver 1
I could do It, tool"
"Yes, and would, by 0 dl" he ex
claimed. "Keep the money, In heav
en'a name I"
"Thnnk you. Then thnt'a aettled."
"If you fall at Hollywood!" ha
gloomily Inquired.
"Don't wish It on me please I It I
fall, I'll come back and marry any of
your son that want me. Only I draw
the line at St Croix. I couldn't," ah
hook her head, "marry St, Croix."
"Whyr aked Crelghton testily,
wounded In hla paternal pride.
"First, because I'm not In love with
him. Then I think a girl owe It to
her children to pick out a good father
for them and St Croix atrlkea me aa
too telf-abaorbed to make a auccesa-

him."
"St. Croix la a very fine young
man I" hi father warmly defended
him. "Sensible and well balanced. No
Wild vagaries "
"Hut I like rebel and vagabond so
much better than Tine young men'!"
"Oh, then you mean," said Crelgh-
ton, again picking up hope, "that you
will marry Murvln If Hollywood die

"If be doesn't ask you to," exclaimed
Mr. Crelghton, "he'a a"
"Yes, Isn't het I think so too. Hut
though I'd never marry a man that
hadn't proposed to me, If I never got
married, that question need not en
rage us. Cousin Crelghton, because
I'm not going to full at Hollywood I"

"Ye. Isn't It J everything 1 But

That you sitting there In front
of me you I are the girl I aald I
wouldn't marry! Why dldu't some
one suggest that I crosa to England
and look you over firstr
"Probably because they were all too
sensible to think you'd pay any at
tention to such a good suggestion.
And If you bad, you'd probably have
found me flown from bom to elud
you."
"Too see, you were offered to me

"Let' be engaged, Marvin, until I
see how I make out at Hollywood. It

"If only," he fetched a deep
breath, "you hadn't that fatal talent!

the old surveys to place broken bot

would resist decay In the hole where
the corner posts were to be ot and

On this particular occasion, when an
effort wa being made to establish the

"Hut, dear child, I can't live In Cali

Ring's Low-Down on
Deep Subject
Br RING LARONER
To the Editor:
It aeern like a If It waa op to m
to nettle a big argument which has
occurred between Al Mutnaux and
Jack Klcran. It must be exclaimed
that Mr, Kleran I one of the base
ball writer on th New York Time
and a prominent golf player. Mr.
Mumaux la somewhat of a veteran
big league baseball pitcher, who used
to be ttie best singer In the big
leagues. The argument waa reported
by Mr. Harry Salsinger ot tbe De
troit Ncrts. Mr. Salsinger la a tall
skinny handsome brunette who looks
not unlike the writer only be bas
more hair.
Well It seems like Mr. Mamaux and
Mr, Klcran got Into a Ashing argu
ment namely, Mr. Mamaux claimed
that If you took a bucket the bucket
would weigh just the same like as
If no fisb bad been dropped into It
A live flsb can't possibly Increase
the weight of water," aald Mr. Ma
maux. "A dead Osh, that la differ
ent matter, because tbat would be
dead weight" '
Well they went to a laboratory In
Detroit where thla bitter argument
started and asked the professor of
flab which waa right and wbo waa
wrong, so the professor said be would
make a test but be didn't bave no
live Sab on hand that day and Mr.
Mamaux would not stand for no test
being made wltb a dead fish. Finely
they went to a flab market and tbey
bad a tub full of water there weigh
ing 93 pounds and they found flab
named Carp wbo weighed three
pounds and they put It In the tub
and then weighed tbe total wblcb
weighed 07 pound so Mr. Mamaux
claimed that clinched bla argument
because) in the first place tbe carp
waa dead and In the second place be
only Increased tbe weight of th tub
two pounds whereaa the fish man ad
mitted that hi weight before being
dropped into tbe tub wa three
pounds.
That allows bow right I am," aald
Mr. Mamaux.
"No It don't" retorted Mr. Klerun,
"All it provea la tbat nobody wltb
any brains should ought to buy fish
from thla market"
Well friends the reason I feel
called upon to horn Into tbla argu
ment ta tbat all my life 1 been mak
ing a atudy of welghta and displace
ments and etc, and 1 will give you a
few facta to prove that It la a very
tricky subject and a person ahould
not ought to get Into no argument In
regards to same unless they bav
mastered It
It you will go Into a restaurant
and order a large glass ot milk and
weigh It before yon touch cup to Up
you will Bod that tha total weight la
about one ounce, Then U you win
wait a few momenta till a fly drops
into tbe glass and weigh it again, why
If the fly la Just a common fly and
still alive you will And that the
weight of the entire project ain't in
creased even one fly weight but li
the fly waa dead when it dropped in,
why then will be a Increased weight
of 1U and no hundreds minima a spe
cially if the fly wa a horse fly.
On th other hand if you tak a
pall of water or beer and drop live
rat in same, the weight of the pall
will Increase exactly aa much aa the
rat weighed In the first place and if
you make it two rata, th weight will
Increase pro rata. But If one or both
of tbe rata, happens to get drowned,
they will come to tbe surface looking
Ilk drowned rata and at th aame
time proving that they didn't weigh
nothing or they would of nank. It
la bind of dangerous to make thl
teat In a pall of beer aa the rata goea
right to It and r libel to reach the
singing stage.
The moat conclusive test 1 ever
made along these lines waa on tlma
when I took a night boat from N. X,
to Albany on the Hudson river. First
It waa necessary to weigh tb river
and then tbe boat when It waa empty
and afterwards when all tha passen
ger got a board. Then I made aU
the passenger come into the weigh
ing room and get weighed one by one.
When the boat got to Albany tha
next morning the river looked Juat
Uke it did th last time I waa up
there.
Prof. Sump of Sever Cnlverslty,
New Hampshire, once made a expert'
ment which perhaps provea more than
tbe foregoing. He weighed all th
paaanger that waa going on a trip
from New York to Cherbourg and
then weighed them all again when tbe
hlp got to Cherbourg. Tbey didn't
weigh nowhere near a much. Prof
Sump waa much Impressed.
