Signatures of Old
Settlers
By JANE OSBORN
When the Karts—Mr. Thomas
Karl, i;is wife Jennie and their
daughter Jane-—had started for
Iheir six weeks’ holiday it had been
iirr;mged that they would divide
I their time unselfishly. For two
,'ac.s they would go where Father
f Kart might enjoy himself In the
j \ way he he liked suit best, the two weeks of should June,

Jennie should have the dispos
ing of the last two weeks. Two
| weeks had already been spent along
a remote lake, a fisherman's pura

"And now," said Mrs. Earl, “non
we’ll go to Bialrford. You know

I "Y’ou don’t expeel lo find any

i Earl. -‘That was three centuries

want to rush into this
matter of finding distinguished un
! restore hastily. She - discovered
that there was a “historical mu
seum’’ lit one end of the town
where n motley collection of old be
longings of the early inhabitants
had been carefully preserved.
In the green or common there was
a tablet to the Revolutionary sol
diers from the town, and Mrs. Ear!
looked diligently there for a traee
of the name Earl, but in vain.
"Here are the Kuzins, and the Hui
steds and the Browns,” she said.
“You might think they owned this i
tovvn. Their names appear bn every
list. I rather wish I knew some of
tlielr descendants.
A few days later they went to
the museum, and after having
signed their names in an enormous
registration book they hovered
about three close rooms of the old
house, looking at the historical col
lection.
"Look here, Jennie," called Mr.
Earl from the little attic whither
he had gone. “Here’s something
that belonged to one of the Earls.’’
Jennie fairly flew to the attic.
“See, it is a sausage filler,’’
Thomas Earl explained, “used by
•John Earl ift his shop on the green.”
Mrs. Earl grinned. “And over there
is a bit of rope taken from the old
slaughter house belonging to 111
rain Earl, j guess they were—"
"Tom, jou don’t imagine they
were the butchers, do you?” accused
Jennie. ^
“LfEe” asDot," beamed Thomas.
“That was an honest calling and
a mighty important one. ►»
Jennie descended the rickety
stairs and began talking to the old
ish woman who acted as curator
of the tiny museum. She told the
lady that her husband w»» de
scended from one of the first set
tlers. “I’ll show you the old char
ter of the town," said the curator,
leading the way to a faded parch
ment under a glass case. “Here are
the signatures of the settlers who
could write,” she said. “These over
here merely made a mark and the
clerk of the company wrote their
names. Jennie looked quickly
through the list. The first settler
Thomas Earl, had made his mark
and after his mark was written
“Thomas Earl, Barnabus Brown’s
bondman."
Jennie made no comment. She
was about to look for her husband,
still In the attic, when it occurred
to her that her daughter was not
to be seen. The curator explained
that while she had been upstairs a
young man had come In and they
had gone out together to talk.
“It was young Mr. George
Brown, explained the curator.
“He’s a descendant of Barnabus
Brown, In the line of General
Brown of the Revolution and Judge
Brown. The old Brown mansion Is
up on the green—Barnabus Brown,
you know, was a younger son of
Lord Gerald Murray.”
A few minutes later Mrs. Earl
found her daughter and George
Brown seated in George Brown’s
Inexpensive runubout in front of
the museum.
“You see, when I found out that
Jane had come here I followed."
said George, This Is an old hnnt
lng ground for me. My folks are
more or less connected with the
Besides, I just had to see
Jane—"
Jane looked appealingly to her
mother. I may as well tell you,
mother,” she wild, “that George and
I are engaged.”
"Why Jane, why George,” said
Jennie smiling, "I know you’ll be
happy. 1 hud no Idea you were
descended from Barnabus Brown.
But let me run and tell Tom.”
