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.” (Copyright.) -;-i-_ » v rr T T'ry t t y y' y LAST TIME L - TODAY ^ ‘Lets &>r* j % *wkh ve * * \\ G X Cupid says: ■■ “The surest way to hit a woman’s heart is to take aim kneeling. ft i I. r s> Jk^ The Story of a Star Behind the Wings!
