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

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.
