TWO BROTHERS T HE Baron had comer to town and had taken rooms In the best ho tel—the old, big building on the public square. And together with the Baron had come Soren, for the Baron and Soren were Inseparable. With the Baron, Soren took the place of father, mother, Ife and valet. Nothing of Importance could ever be decided without consulting Soren, and matters of minor Importance he de cided alone. It was he who decided when the Baron was to have a new suit-of clothes, how much baggage was to be carried, what to eat and how to spend the evenings when traveling. “One might almost think that Soren Is the master and not you,” a guest at the house party once said impatiently to the Baron. But the Baron only replied: "If you want to stay here you must make up „„„ your mind to get along with Soren. It satisfied after tho denth of his father There was o world of difference be-, tween the two brothers Albert nnd Vil helm from the earliest boyhood on. Albert, the younger, had ever since he wore knickerbockers the sedate manner of an old man. He wns the bright head nf the family, always se rious and correct und always at the head of his class. Vilhelm, the heir to the title, on the other side, was full of life and mis chief and had neven been very* far from the bottom of his class In school. It was the same all through life. Albert passed Ills examinations, re ceived the golden medal of the univer sity, was made a councillor and be came a government official and Knight of Dannebroge. Vilhelm never graduated, but was ought to be the one advantaga of being a bachelor that one has no domesttu trouble." Words like these allowed of no mis interpretation, and the guest, as a rule, had sense enough to give In. If he did not he had seen the last of Gratholm, for Horen simply struck his name from the list of guests to be Invited to the Huron's country estate. Today the Baron had caused Soren an unusual lot of trouble. First It had taken a long time to get him dressed nnd then, when looking In the glass, tho Baron hud criticised the looks of his black suit. "The devil take me, Soren, you are getting to be so stingy that you do not want me to wear decent clothes. I am looked upon as a perfect fool In my own family, and I shudder when I think of the critical Inspection by the coun cillor's wife when X come in." At last the Baron had become so In terested In the evening paper that It was Impossible to make him go, though the carriage had been waiting for more thnn ten minutes and the "Mrs. Coun cillor" hated peoplo to be late. But the angrier Soren grew the hap. pier the Baron smiled. At last he stood up whistling a merry tune and laid aside the paper. And Soren knew that when the Baron whistled It meant that he had some great Idea and wanted to bo left alone. * As soon as tho whistling started, therefore, Soren grew ns meek as a lamb, so meek and pleasant that a stranger would never have known him. He looked at his master In silence until the Baron himself said he was vendy to leave. Then he helped him Into his fur-lined coat, followed him down and closed the carrlngc door aft er him. . Then Soren went back to the room, snntrhed tlie paper and scanned Its DOG DEVOURS $12; U. S. MAKES IT GOOD IS Enter New 8tation. The Georgian. k. Ga..

Carson spoke for Wofford and .Its Wingard for Carolina. to spend a life of pleasure on the large estate which he inherited. He was a happy man. who took life ehsy, and only one thing .worried him— ho saw plainly enough that hth brother was In need of money. His salary was not grAit. his household expenses heavy, and the education of his chil dren was very expensive. It was evi dent thnt he was often very hard up, and still the baron never dared offer him money. The baron was not In a very good humor while In the carriage but when all the ceremonies of being Introduced to tho guests were over, when he had had a good dinner and was sitting nt his cofTee and Ihtueur at thp L’hnmbre table he was again Jolly and full of life. The baron and his brother played at the same table, and tho baron played so recklessly that the councillor, though he won all the time, at last exclaimed: "No, I give you up. Vilhelm; you will never learn to play anything more com plicated than dice.” When the game was over, there was general laughter. The baron made a most comical face while he examined his wallet over and over and declared that he had no money. "Then Albert will have to pay for me. You may have this in lieu of cash." he said, and handed his brother a lottery ticket. The councillor accepted the ticket very stiffly nnd mumbled: "There Is not much chance of win ning nnythlng on II." "No. of course not." the bnron re plied with n smile; "but I at least have won on It now." "Well, I suppose I will have to let It pnss," the councillor said with a sigh, and put the ticket In his poekethook. The next morning fhe baron was beaming with good humor while Soren helped him to dress, and, much to the disgust of that illgnlfled personage, lie Insisted on sitting down to eat Ills breakfast In his shirt sleeves. Then he mapped out the plans for tho day. nnd when Soren had received all his Instructions he asked his mas ter: 'And then I suppose I am to cash our prise.” "Our prize? What do you mean?” "Wasn't that the reason why the baron was so happy last night?" What reason ?" 'Bemuse you saw In the evening paper that we had won?” "1 did not see anything In the evening paper.” "You did not!” Soren exclaimed, now thoroughly disgusted; "then I wilt sho.v It to you. black on -white. We hove n not less than"— We have won nothing, monsieur. Do you understand? We have not played this series at all; we have not even had ticket, and you dare breathe a word of this to any living being and I ant through with you.” And Soren understood; but until to day he Is asking himself what the baron did with the ticket, which he himself had bought and renewed, an- which won a prise of forty thousand dollars.
