Pa
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.
I-jA thinks that he is awful smart,
' but he met a feller up here in the
country that is smarter than he
». a- the feller had newer been in a big
sHy in his life. I think that after Pa
r , . oaver the first sad & sick feeling,
u «ill be a better & a wiser man.
Pa fr me are hunting up in the eoun
;ry. & the first few times that Pa
Mini up here he used to bring sum gaim
,oam. I doant know wether he shot it
»r hot it, but he used to have a par
rvige or sumthing to show for his
.rubbel, & this last trip he dident git
i bind or anything except a chipmunk
'or three days. I think he felt twice
l 5 bad about it beekaus 1 was along
•or m; first trip in-to the country, but
anyhow he was dee-termined for to git
nun gaim sumhow.
So this morning he met a man that
lad long whiskers, his naim was Kip
n hippie. & Pa started to kid him a
jttel but all the time 1 seen that Mister
i\ nipple knew moar than Pa. He was
i old man, but he laffed all the time
ike a boy. & I eed to myself that tha.ro
ire only two kinds of reel men in this
Aiirld. old boys & yung boys.
ilr deer frend, sed Pa to Mister
iVhipple, I wish you cud tell me ware
find a few paitridges. All I want is
i chanst to git a shot at them, sed Pa.
tftcr 1 git a shot at them the war will
>e oaver.
1 dare say, sed Mister Whipple. Well,
■a ill tell you what to do. You know
v a male partridge sets on a log
lumtimes & makes a. noise like a drum.
He does it by slamming his big wings
igennst his brest. Pa's new frend sed.
Ike this. & then the old man hit Pa on
he brest so hard that Pa fell oaver
iggenst the bar—l mean the counter.
I ist so you keep drumming, sed Pa's
lew frend, you will surely have a few
ither male partridges cumming around
hare to see what the trubhel is about.
Phen, if you are anything like the shot
hat you claim to be with a shotgun,
the rest will be eesy.
So Pa got a littel gun for me & he
took the big gun with him that he fiad
irot all the way from home. All the
ray up to the place ware we was going,
ie was telling me how he had shot
»irds &- big gaim from one end of the
vurld to the other. The way he talked
afrade that thare wasent any
(irds nr big gaim left.
iVen we got to the place that Mister
iVhipple had toald us about. Pa set
lown with me on a log * started to
lit nisself on his chest like a base
irummer wud hit a drum. Pa kep
lifting hisself on the chest for a hour,
v then 1 had to hit him beekaus his
irm was tired, & then his chest got
ired A sore, & he sed to me. Bobbie,
rou hit yureself on the chest, you are
ranger than I am.
Not a chanst, I told Pa. you think
•on are pritty wise, but I knew all the
time that Mister Whipple was kidding
rou l ,
Maybe 1 am a lot iittlef & yunger
an Pa, but I ain’t any fool, & Mister

INITIALS ONLY S' \lyjterv Story of Modern Times $y Anna Green §3
(Copyright. 1911, Street & Smith.)
'Copyright, 1911, by Dodd, Mead & Co.)
TODAY’S INSTALLMENT
For reply, the other pointed to a small
room quite unoccupied which opened out
of the one in which they then stood. Mr.
Chailoner bowed and in an other moment
the door closed upon them, to the infinite
disappointment of the men about the
hearth.
"What do you wish to ask?” was Mr.
Chailoner's immediate inquiry.
"This. 1 make no apologies and expect
in answer nothing more than an unequiv
ocal yes or no. You tell me that you
have met my brother. Can that be said
of the other members of yotir family—of
your deceased daughter, in fact?”
"No.”
''She was ,acquainted with Oswald
Brotherson?"
"She was.”
"Without your knowledge?"
"Entirely so.”
"Corresoonded with him?”
“Not exactly.”
“How. not exactly?”
“He wrote to her occasionally. She
wrote to him frequently but she never
sent her letters.'
"Ah"’
The excxlamaiion was sharp, short and
conveyed little. Yet with its escape, the
whole scaffolding of this man's hold upon
life and his own fate went down in indis
tinguishable chaos. Mr. Chailoner real
ized a sense of havoc, though the eyes
bent upon his countenance had not wa
verdd, nor the stalwart figure moved.
"I have read some of those letters,” the
inventor finally acknowledged. "The
police took great pains to place them
under my eye. supposing them to have
been meant for me because of the initials
written on the wrapper. But they were
meant for Oswald. You believe that
now?”
"I know it.”
“And that is why I found you in the
same house with him.”
"Tt is. Providence has robbed me of my
daughter; if this brother of yours
should prove to be the man 1
am led to expect, I shall ask him to
take that place in my heart and life which
was once hers.”
A quick recoil, a smothered exclamation
on the part of the man he addressed. A
barb had been hidden in this simple state
ment which had reached some deeply-hid
den but vulnerable spot in Brotherson’s
breast, which had never been pierced be
fore. His eye which alone seemed alive,
still rested piercingly upon that of Mr.
Challonei. but its light' was fast fading,
and speedily became lost in a dimness in
which the other seemed to see extinguish
ed the last unflaring embers of those in
ner fires which feed the aspiring soul. It
was- a sight no man could see unmlxed
Mr. Chailoner turned sharply away. In
dread of the abyss which the next word he
uttered might open between them.
But Orlando Brotherson possessed re
sources of strength of which, possibly, he
was not aware himself When Mr. Chal
loner. still more affected by the silence
than by the dread I have mentioned,
turned to confront him again, ft was to
find his features composed and his glance
cleat. he had conquered all outward
manifestation of the mysterious emotion
which for an instant laid his proud spirit
low
“You are considerate of my brother.”
were the words with which he re-opened
this painful <onwrsatfon. "You will not
find your confidence misplaced. Oswald is
a straightforward fellow, of few' faults.”
“1 believe it. No man can be so uni
versally beloved without some very sub
stantial claims to regard. I am glad to
see that your opinion, though given
somewhat coldly, coincides with that of
his friends."
"1 am not given to exaggeration," was
the even reply.
The flush which had come into Mr.
t'halloner’s cheek under the effort he had
made to sustain with unflinching heroism
this interview with the man he looked
upon as his mortal enemy, slowly faded
out till he looked the wraith of himself
even to the unsympathetic eyes of Or
lando Brotherson. A duty lay before him
which would tax to its utmost extent Ms
already weakened self-control. Nothing
which had tot passed showed that this
man realized the fact that Oswald had
been kept m ignorance of Mias Chailoner s
death. If these brothers were to meet on
the morrow it must be with the full un
derstanding that this especial topic was to
be completely avoided. But in what
words could he urge such a request upon
this man? None suggested themselves,
yet he had promised Miss Scott that he
would ensure his silence in this regard,
and it was with this difficulty and no
other he had been struggling when Mr.
Brotherson came upon him in the other
room.
"You have still something to say.” sug
gested the latter, as an oppressive silence
swallowed up that icy sentence I have
already recorded.
“1 have," returned Mr. Chailoner, re
gaining his courage under the exigencies
of the moment. Miss Scott is very anx
ious to have ynr promise that you will
avoid all disagreeable topics with' your
brother till the doctor pronounces him
strong enough to meet the trouble which
awaits him."
“You mean ”
“He is not as unhappy as we. He
knows nothing of the affliction which has
befallen him. He was taken ill—” The
rest was almost inaudible.
But Orlando Brotherson had no diffi
culty in understanding him. and for the
second time in this extraordinary Inter
view. he gave evidences of agitation and
of a mind shaken from its equipoise. But
only for an instant. He did not
the other's gaze or even maintain more
than a momentary silence. Indeed, he
found strength to smile, in a curious,
sardonic way, as he said;
"Do you think I should be apt tp
broach this subject with any one. let
alone with him, whose connection with it
1 shall need days to realize? I’m not so
given to gossip. Besides, he and I have
other topics of interest. ( have no in
vention ready with which I propose to
experiment in a place he has already pre
pared for me. We can talk about that.”
The irony, the hardy self-posession with
which this was said struck Mr. Chailoner
to.the heart. Without a word he wheeled
about towards the door. Without a word,
Brotherson stood, watching him go till he
saw his hand fall on the knob when he
quietly prevented his exit by saying:
■'Unhappy truths can not be long con
cealed. How soon does the doctor think
my brother can bear these inevitable rev
elations?"
"He said this morning that If his pa
tient were as well tomorrow as his pres
ent condition gives promise of, he might
be told in another week.”
Orlando bowed his appreciation of this
fact, but added quickly:
“Who is to do the telling?”
"Doris. Nobody else could be trusted
with so delicate a task.”
"I wish to be present."
Mr. Chailoner loked up. surprised at the
feeling with which this request was
charged.
“As his brother—his only remaining
relative. I have that right. Do you think
that Dor—that Miss Scott, can be trusted
not to forestall that moment by any
previous hint of what awaits him?”
“If she so promises But will you ex
act this from her? It surely can not be
necessary for me to say that your pres
ence will add Infinitely to the difficulty of
her task.”
"Yet it is a duty 1 can not shirk I
will consult the doctor about it. I will
make him see that both understand and
shall insist upot] my rights in this matter.
But you may tell Miss Doris that I will
sit out of sight, and that I shall not ob
trude myself unless my name is brought
up in an undesirable way.”
The hand on the doorknob made a sud
den movement.
“Mr. Brotherson, I ran bear no more
tonight. With your permission, 1 will
leave thia question to he settled by oth
ers.” And with a repetition of his former
botv, the bereaved father withdrew.
Orlando watched him till the door
closed, then he too dropped his mask.
But it was on again, when in a little
while he pased through the sitting room
on hla way upstairs.
No other day in his whole life had been
like this to the hardy inventor; for in it
both bls heart and his conscience had
been awakened, and up to this hour he
had not really known that he possessed
either.
What is He Making.
Other boxes addressed to O. Brotherson
| had been received at the station, and rar-
ried to the mysterious shed in the woods,
and now, with locked door and lifted top,
the elder brother contemplated his stores
and prepared himself for work!
He had been allowed a short interview
with Oswald, and he had indulged him
self in a few words with Doris. But he had
left those memories behind with other and
more serious matters. Nothing that could
unnerve his hand or weaken his Insight
should enter this spot sacred to his great
hope. Here genius reigned. Here he
was himself wholly and without a flaw -
a Titan with his grasp on a mechanical
idea by means of which he would soon
rule the world.
Not so happy were the other characters
in this drama. Oswald’s thoughts, dis
turbed for a short time by the somewhat
constrained interview he had held with his
brother, had flown eastward again, in
silent love and longing; while Doris, with
a double dread now in her heart, went
about-ber daily tasks, praying for strength
to endure the horrors of this week, with
out betraying the anxieties secretly de
vouring her. And she was only 17 and
quite alone in her trouble She must bear
it all unassisted and smile, which she did
with heavenly sweetness when the magic
threshold was passed and she stood in her
invalid’s presence, overshadowed though
it ever was by the great Dread.
And Mr. Chailoner? Let those endless
walks of his through the woods and over
the hills tell his story if they can; or
his rapidly whitening hair, ami lagging
step. He had been a strong man before
his trouble and had the stroke which laid
