TWO. BROTHERS
T
HE Baron had come to town and
had taken rooms In the best ho
tel—the old, big building on the
public square.
And together with the Baron bad
come Soren, for the Baron and Soren
were inseparable. With the Baron,
Soren took the place of father, mother,
wife and valet.
Nothing of Importance could ever be
decided without consulting Soren, and
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 ^
et satisfied "after" the deattT'of his“father
to spend a life of pleasure on the large
There was a world of dlfferenco be
tween the two brothers Albert and Vil
helm from the earliest boyhood on.
Albert, the younger, had ever since
he wore knickerbockers the sedate
manner of an old man. He was the
bright head of the family, always se
rious and correct and always at the
head of his class.
Vilhelm, the heir to the title, on the
other side, was full of life nnd mis
chief and had never been very far from
the bottom of his class In school.
It was the same all through life.
Albert passed his examinations, re
ceived the golden medal of the-unlver-
slty, was made a councillor and be
came a government official and Knight
of Dannebroge.
Vilhelm never graduated, hut wae
ought to bo the one advantage of being
a bachelor that one has no domestic
trouble.”
Words like these allowed of no mis
interpretation, and the guest, as a rule,
hud sense enough to give In. If he did
not he had Been the last of Gratholm,
for Soren simply struck his name from
the list of guests to be Invited to the
Baron'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
and then, when looking In the glass,
the Baron had criticised the looks of
his block Kult.
"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 mi
own family, and I shudder when I thlnl
of the critical Inspection by the coun
clllor’s wlfo when I come In."
At last the Baron had become eo In
terested In the evening paper that It
was Impossible to make him go, though
the carriage had been waiting for more
than ten minutes and the “Mrs. Coun
cillor" hated people to bo 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 the whistling started,
therefore. Soren grow as meek as a
lamb, so meek and pleasant that a
stranger would never have known him.
Ho looked at his master In silence
until the Baron himself said he was
ready to leave. Then he helped him
Into his fur-lined coat, followed him
down and closed the carriage door aft-
er him.
Then Soren went back to the room,
snatched the paper and scanned Its
estate which he Inherited.
He was a happy man, who took life
easy, and only one thing worried him—
he saw plainly enough that his brother
was In need of money. His salary was
not great, his household expenses
heavy, and the education of his chil
dren was very expensive. It was evi
dent thnt ho 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 the guests were over, when he had
had a good dinner and was sitting at
his coffee and liqueur at the L'hombre
table he was again jolly and full of
life.
The baron nnd his brother played at
the same table, and the baron played
so recklessly that the councillor, though
he won t)II the time, at Inst exclaimed:
"No, I give you up, Vilhelm; you will
never learn to play anything more com
plicated than dice.”
When the game wae over, there was
general laughter. The baron made n
most comical face while ho examined
his wallet over and over and declared
that he had no money.
"Then Albert will have to pay for me.
You may huve this In lieu of cash,” he
said, and handed his brother a lottery
ticket.
The councillor accepted the ticket
very stiffly and mumbled;
'There Is not much chance of win
ning anything on It.”
"No, of course not," the baron
plied with a smile; "hut I at least have
won yn It now." .
•'Well, I suppose I will have to let It
pass," the councillor said with a sigh,
and put the ticket In his pocketbook.
Washington, April >7.—It lins become
clear that the Roosevelt administration
recognizes In the South Its weak point,
politically speaking, and Is addressing
Itself with Its usual energy to the cap
ture of that region. Assistant Post
master General Hitchcock's Southern
trip has been followed by new develop
ments.
In at least one Southern state and,
presumably others,, federal patronage Is
used to crush the president's enemies.
The state where Jhls la known to be the
ease Is Tennessee, where the Evans
faction has been recognized as the ad
ministration organization, and the
Brownlow men are being pm out of
office os fast as possible.

The next morning the baron was
beaming with good humor while Boron
helped him to dress, and, much to the
disgust of that dignified personage, he
Insisted on sitting down to eat his
breakfast In his shirt sleeves.
Then he mapped out the plans for
the day. and when Soren had received,
all his instructions he osked his mas
ter:
"And then I suppose I am to cash
our prize."
"Our prize? What do you mean?"
"Wasn't that the reason why the
baron was so happy last night?”
"What reason?"
"Bernuso you saw In the evening
paper that we had won?”
"I did not see anything In the evening
paper."
"You: did not!” 8oren exclaimed, now
thoroughly disgusted; "then I will sho.v
It to you, black on white. We have
won not less than”—
We have won nothing, monsieur. Do
you understand? We hove not played
this series at all; we have not even had
a ticket, and you dare breathe a word
of this to any living being and I am

And Soren understood; but until to
day he Is asking himself what tlie
baron did with the ticket, which he
himself had bought and renewed, and
which won a prize of forty thousand
dollars. s
