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.

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 through with you."
