Thp two ensuing days were full of exrltenicnt pleasurable excitement to Mrs. Saville. Her kern eyes shone with a bard glitter as she thought that lwr Hon was probably saved from com mitting roiuo dangerous folly, and launched afresh on a career which promised honor and promotion. In truth, Mrs. Savllle's hopes and ambi tions were centered on her second son. Iler eldest was an apathetic, well-bred, briefless barrister, of dilettante tastes, given to writing elegantly-expressed papers In the more exalted periodicals on obscure passages In Shakespeare, and latterly In lirownlng, on the deri vation of obsolete words, and other such topics, in which ordinary mortals took not the slightest Interest. Mrs. Saville was the only child and nolo heiress of an exceedingly wealthy Sheffield manufacturer. She had mar ried the accomplished, amiable, distinguished-looking younger brother of the Karl of Kvcrton, an Impecunious peer whose Hole means of existence was de rived from the rent of the family man sion and domains. Mrs. Saville was an extremely ambltlouns woman; she had a keen desire for personal dlstlnc tlon, and In her own mind had re solved that as her eldest son must In the order of things succeed his uncle and become Karl of Kverton, bo Hush must marry a woman of rank and for tune, and thus she would be free to glvo the bulk of her belongings to support the tltlo which would devolve upon her eldest son. He was a stead Irreproachable young man, but her heart, her pride, centered In her Ben jamin. Mrs. Savllle'a love was a somewhat onerous obligation; pho had a very tough, Inexorable will, and a profound belief that she could manage every one's affairs considerably better than they could themselves a doctrine In which her younger son rarely agreed. IIU mother's greed for power was greatly developed by her early widow- hood, though the deceased Honorable ' her husband was a peace-loving soul I who rarely contradicted her. Such was ' the condition of things at the begin ' nlng of this narrative. Receiving no reply to her telegram, Mrs. Saville sat up late on the follow ing Wrdnesday, hoping her son might arrive, and retired to rest weary with unfulfilled expectation. When her maid brought her early cup of tea, the following morning, she announced that "Mr. Hugh arrived nbout halt an hour ago, and has gonu to hl room." Whereupon Mrs. Saville ordered ln;r breakfast to bo brought to her In her own apartment, that she might not de lay her son's refreshment, and pre pared leisurely to meet him In her morning-room. She was already there to greet him when he came upstairs. "Well, my dear Hugh! I am glad to see yon. My best congratulations. Have yon read tho Secretary's letter? I told Atkins to glvo It to you "Yes, he did," said Hugh, shortly; then he kissed his mother's brow nnd stood looking at her with a troubled ipresslon. Ho was a fair, sunburnt man of per haps six or seven-and-twenty, rather above middle height, broad-Bhouldered, and seeming shorter than he renlly wa3. Ills features were good, nud a pair of large handsome brown eyea lighted up his face, which was' square and strong; his hair and thick mous taches were light brown, with a red dlMi tinge. "Why, Hugh, you are looking 111 and worn. You do not seem like yourself. Why did you .rt arrive last night?" "I came aa quiclily as I could; the trains at this season are lnconvenl cnt," he returned, still In an absent tone. Ho had a pleasant, deep-cheated voice, and, though he had never given much time to lis cultivation, could sing a good second. "If you had started on Monday night after you had my telegram, you ailght have been hero yesterday." "I could not, mother." And he be gan to pace the room In quarter-deck style "Why?" persisted Mrs. Saville, with vague uneasiness. 'TiecHUHo I had a rather particular engagement on Tuesday morning." "What do you mean?" "I had arranged to be married on Tuesday morning, and I could not dis appoint the parson and the consul, to say nothing of my nanceo," he return ed, w ith a grim smile, and pausing In his walk opposite his mother. "Slurried!" she repeated, growing white and grasping the arms of her chair. "Hugh, this Is a supld, vulgar jost. It Is not. mother. I am married .s fast as church and stato caii bliid me. If I look haggard and seedy you r.eed not wonder, for It Isn't pleasant .o leave your iniiie almost at the church door. I can tell you "Madman!" she hissed through her et teeth, while ner keen black eves 3ubhed with fury. "To what aiWentur ss bavo you fallen n victim? iiusii. lie Willi, with nonie dig nlty; you must not speak disrespect fully of my wife. Tomorrow or next day you will see full particulars In the newspapers." vwwu. tine almost screamed, nre ou In sin !i hnte to blaen your did gruee to tho world?" I may us well let you know at once," he continued, not heeding her Interruption. "My wife was Miss 1 1 i I tun, daughter of tho late Cuptuln 1111 ton, au old cavalryman, of good fam lly, 1 believe; but that I don't core u rap about "I expected this said Mrs. 8avllle In a low, concentrated tone, and rising ill her wrath. ' Some Inner voice told me evil would come of your long, un accountable st.iy In that vile place. New Uuve me. Never let uie et eye upon you again. You have blasted my hopes, you have destroyed my offectlon for you, you cease to be my son." "Stop!" cried Hugh, In su-h tone of command that his mother obeyed. "You must nnd shall hear me. Pray sit down. I have a pood deal to say.' He resumed his walk for a moment, while he strove to collect hlnnelf. Mrs. Saville was tdlcnt, watching him with cruel, glittering eyes. "You have a right to bo angry,' Hugh began, throwing himself into a chair near Ma mother's. "You have been a good mo'her to ran, and you deserve that I Hhould have consulted you but knowing that you would do your best to forbid or prevent the mar riage, even to tho length of w.'illng cruelly to Kate, I determined to say nothing till (ho deed was accomplish ed. Now hear mo. I first met the llil tons In Naples nearly two yeara ago, when I was with tho Mediterranean s'inadron. My undo Kverton was there, nnd I had leave now and again while we lay otT Sicily: You know I never bother about women, mother; but before I knew Kate Hilton a wee';, I was fathoms deep. I don't know whether other people think her beauti ful or not, to nm she Is the best and loveliest " Mra. Saville made a motion of the hands expressive of dis gust and repulsion, while a contemp tuous smile curled her thin lips. "There, I will not trouble you with de tails," continued Hugh, grimly. "She snug well, like a prima donna, and she used to let me sing with her, but the more I showed her well, the feel ings I could not repress, the colder and more distant she grew. She drove me half mad. Then I was ashore, as you know, and went off wandering abroad, hoping to meet her, as I did. Still sho kept me at arms'-lcngth, but some thing told mo that she wasn't as in different as she seemed." "No doubt!" ejaculated Mrs. Saville. "About six weeks ago, I went to Nice, and found old Hilton very 111 so bad that I could scarce get speech of Kate. They wcro lodging In the outskirts of the town. Then he died very suddenly at the last, and Kate, unnerved with watching and grief for the old man, who, though by no means a good father, was never actively un kind, broke down and clung to me. Sho was friendless, penniless, helpless. I took the command and Insisted on her marrying me." "Have you done yet?" asked hla mother, harshly. "Nearly. Have a little patience As a woman I ask you what opinion you would have of a man who could have deserted the girl he loved with all his heart and bouI In Biich desolation? Could I have helped her, given her money, protection, anything, save a a husband? She was not her usual proud self, or she would have seen through tho thin excuses with which I veiled your silence. Now, mother, be tender, womanly ay, and reasonable. Make up your mind to the Inevitable. Kato la my wife. See her before you condemn me, before you banluli me. Oivo Her tho protection I cannot stay I to give. I have left her with the kind old Frenchwoman In whoso house bet father died. I dared not endanger my career, my reputation, by losing an hour: so, for her sake ns well as my own, I tore myself away. I don't think I ever asked you a favor; now 1 pray you, If you ever loved me, take my wife to your heart; let her live near you; give her a chance of win nlng your good opinion, your " A scornful laugh interrupted him. Do you Imagine I am as weak a fool as my son? Ruc.h an abject weakling? No, I shall have nothing to do with you or your wife. Go; I shall not see you again. You have never asked ma favor? Hare I not paid your debts?" "Yes, at Kawson's request, not mine nor should I have Incurred them had my allowance been measured by the needs and habits with which I had been brought up. Did you ever love my father, that you are so hard-nod against the first love of your son's life?" "I had a proper affection for my husband, but I should never havo for gotten myself for any man. I repeat It, you cease to be my son from this hour. You shall have the quarter's al lowance now due to you, but after this not a penny more. See how you will get on with the beggarly pittance you derive from your fathor. To-morrow I shall see Kawson about altering my will. What wife will compensate you for a life of poverty and obscurity?' 'Toor we may bo, but obscure, If 1 live, wo shall not be," said Hugh, ris ing, and looking steadily at hla moth er, while he spoke very calmly. "1 may deserve aome censure for not In forming you of my plans, but this treatment I do not deserve. And vet I believe you have a heart, though no calked and coated with worldllnesa that Its natural Impulses are hopeless ly deadened, your natural good sense blinded to the relative value of things, What would the wealth of a kingdom be to me, If I knew the woman 1 love was groping her way painfully, with u bruised spirit and bleeding feet. through the rugged ways of life with out a hand to help her? No, niothor, your sou Is man enough to risk every thing rather than that. I will obey you and go. Good-by. t!od bo with you. I will never see your fuce again until you usk me and my wife to visit you." "Then It Is farewell forever." sab; Mrs. Savlllo, sternly. "Take my thanks for Ibis repayment of all tho care und thought uud affoetiou I have luvlahod on you. ' Hugh stood half a minuto gazing a her. then, turning shurply, left th, room without another word. Mrs. S;i vllle had risen to utter her last sen tence, nnd now walked to thd fireplace lo ring tdiurply. "Tell ono of the men to lie readv lr ten minutes. 1 aiit to : l.d a note In Mr. Kawson. It r.-euliei ;,n answer," she said to the butler. "And, Atkins I shall not want you any more todaj; you had better assist Mr l!ii;,U. lie is pretted for time. 1 Isli everything belonging to him In tins hoin-e to bi packed and removed ty to-merrov evening ut the furthest. You under stand nie," Bald his mistress, sternly; 'everything must In- removed. And, Atkins, telegrupli to Mr. S.ivl.le. 1 think he has returned to bis cham bera: he was to lie nwuy only a week. Say I ttsiut Usui to loan; Ueto to '.uik!i eon." The man, looking stupefied, quit ted the presence of his Imperious ml tress, who sat down to writo with a steady hand and a curious scornful smile on her lips. Mrs. Savllle'a s-m did not come to luncheon, and Mr. Kawson's partner wrote bis regrets that the head of the firm had left the ufll - before Mrs. Sa villo's note had arrived, and they did not know when be would return, but that tho writer would wait on Mra. Saville at once it she wished, and on Id telegraph. So the obdurate mother's intention of defiroylng her will at once was for ine moment frustrated. She therefors oidered the carriage, and, after paying a round of visits, took a long drive, n aching home Just. In time to see At kins Inspecting a pile of luggage being placed on a cab. lie hustled the men who were assisting out of his lady's way, saying officiously, as ho did so, "We have nearly cleared away every thing. Just one or two boxen are left fcr tomorrow. I did not like to taka lln ni so Into into a private houe, und it's a goodish step to Porchester Ter race." "Do what you like," said Mrs. Sa ville, coldly; "do not trouble me." And she passed through the hall, thinking, angrily, "So that weak-minded man Rawson Is giving that misera ble, ungrateful dupe, my son, shelter and encouragement! I will call him to account for this." It was a wretched evening. Mrs. Saville was to dino with a distinguish ed dowager, and, with Spartan cour i.Te, arrayed herself In her best and went forth to smile and utter bland nothings about her dear boy's haste to get. off In good time, about his good fortuna in being appointed to the flag chip, nnd many more things about her mingled regret and satisfaction polite Inventions with which she vainly hoped to throw dust in the world's shrewd eyes. Next day detection took the wings of tho morning and came flying in the r.hame of Lady Olivia Lumley, news papers In hand. Breathless, excited, she arrived be Tore mid-day, a mark ol unauthorized familiarity. "Oh, my dear Mrs. Gaville, my dear Kliz.ircth, have you r.len what is in the newspapers? I cams off at once. I could not bear that any ono should break It to you but myself." And she held out tho paper doubled down at tho announcement among the mar rlages. "No, I havo not," cried Mrs. Saville, savagely, snatching the paper, crush ing It, and throwing it from her, "but I heard .all about everything yester day morning. I hve disowned and banished my son. I will never see him again. Dut If you have come here to gloat over my rago and distress, you will be disappointed. I have merely cut off an offending member. He Is not worth regretting. If you ever dare to mention the subject again, I shall de cline to hold any communication with you or to give a reason for cutting you. Tlie world can fill up tho blanks." (To be continued. AN ASSET TO SAN FRANCISCO. I'rext'iicc. of Chinatown la Xow He Kiinleil nit Itesirnlile. When the earthquake of April, 1000, was followed by tlia lire whlcli ao ut royal Ran Francisco, Its citizens congratulated themselves that "China town was gone," tho Bohemian says. It seems odd that, after so colossal a catastrophe, so trivial an episode should engross the minds of men. Dut for many days the disappearance ol Chinatown figured not only in familiar conversation, but in the newspapers aa well. "Well, at least, Chinatown Is gone," was a common remark, followed by "It's an 111 wind that blows nobody gcod." Tho gratification of the citi zens over tho destruction of China town when their own property had also been destroyed seems peculiar now, when seen In the perspective ol threo years. 'These congratulations wero caused, of course, by the facl that San Francisco's old Chlnatowt was noimme and insanitary. It wat so malodorous that It affected th value of property around Its borders, It was in tho heart of tho city, too. Hence the proposal to prevent the r turn of the Chinese to their old quar ter was unanimously approved. At first, that is. Soon there devel oped opposition. Many Chinese owned the land on which their bulldtngi stood. When they heard that theri. was opposition to their rebuilding, they complained to their consul-gen era!. Ho threatened to make the mat ter an international one, as being an invasion of treaty rights. Then, too, tho white landlords yearned after thell former Chinese tenants. They threat cried legal proceedings If those tenanti were prevented from returning. Bui what was most effective of all waa th keen rivalry that sprang up for th possession of San Fnnclsco's Chines colony. I.os Angeles, with 300,000, and Oakland, with 200.000 inhabitants, strongly desired to add San Francis co's CO, 000 t'hlnejo to their popula tion. After the disaster Oakland did, for a time, house them all. But I.oi Augele.1 Icg.in bidding for them. San Fir.nclso contemplated the aetloc with mingled feelings.

Carlyli AFTER LIFE OF a scT Zj?r?JmWrZhz It fj. about the snan of a lifetime ago T1 years since Miss Zeruiah Porter marched through Oberlln Col- .T ' . . lege and came out at the other end with a head full of 'ologles and 'Isms, It waa recognized as an epoch-making event, ana every living soui on me continent had his or her pet theory as to the consequences that must ensue. Among all the sages who must have discussed tho matter with Indignation or delight or amusement, was there even one who foretold what has really begun to happen; who prophesied that In this year of grace, 1909, the number of women studying in Institutions for higher education would be quite half the tale of men, while co educational institutions would be facing the danger of being swamped by the horde of women clamoring for admission? Taking Oberlln, the first coeducational institution, and, therefore, the best Tor such comparison, ono finds the number of graduates divided into 1,415 men against 1.C31 women. Women now outnumber the men in va rious other Western universities, nnd Stanford ha3 had arbitrarily to limit the number of women admitted lest it should be overwhelmed. In the Fast, Tufts College has been forced to decide on the segregation of its women, after tho fashion of Harvard, for they are pour ing In bo fast as to upset the men's department. So to the music of Juno a new note has been added the sound, light yet solemn, of thousands of girlish feet marching dov-n the college aisle and across the com mencement F.tago and out into the great wide world. It was thoughtful of tho rose to chooso the same month as this fine flower of civilization broad-minded, too, for she faces a serious rival. Tho sweet girl graduate holds the center of the stage, and If poets have not be gun to rhapsodize over her it is merely because the sta tistician has not yet finished with hor. It Is not easy to figure out that more than 50 per cent of college women marry, and it is a hard struggle to get that far. Some colleges have pretty full figures, as Bryn Mawr and Smith. Since 1S79 out of 907 students at Bryn Mawr 224 have married. Out of 3,831 students at Smith 1.29G married. Dr. Mary Robert Smith, who studied fcr the Ameri can statistical Association, drew the conclusion that the average age of marriage would be between 2G and 27 yeara, or two jears later than f jr non-college wom en. The average ase at graduation is probably about 22. If one goes back five years to look at the figures, the number of marriages does not show up very well. Be ing generous and going l ack ten years, one gets 50 per cent in Smltl less in Bryn Mawr. Dr. Smith made a careful nnd Important study, but one Is Inclined to think from these figures that college girls, in the East, ac any rate, must marry rather later than the ago she gave. Prof. C. F. Emerick. writing in the current Political Science Quarterly, remarks that the marriage rate for Vassar women Jumped from 53.5 per cent for those at 40 yew? T)f age to about 63 per cent for those at 47. Cupid is not always, apparently, a hasty boy. Why women colleges should be so "touchy" on the subject of nintriiv.ony It Is not easy to understand. There is certainly no disgrace in remaining unmarried and doing a share of the world's work In ways other than domestic. Although ehe marries later n:id probably marries lesa than other women of her class, the college woman has nearly as many children. She has more, in proportion to the number of years she Is married.

A glance at the reference books in which these figures appear shows, however, that the rest of South America must not be Judged by Argentina. Brazil's Immigration is falling off and Chile's 13 in significant. From the 76,292 foreigners who settled in Brazil In 1901, the number of annual additions to the population has dwindled until the last census, in 1904, gives but 12,447. In the five years including 1S01 and 1903 Chile records a total of only 14,000 immigrants. One of the main reasons why Argentina is so eni-eriy picked out for set tlement lies doubtless In the determined efforts of the government to popu late the Island districts. As soon as the in. migrants land they are pro vided with good food and comfortable shelter for five days. The National Bureau of Iibor finds places for them, If thev are laborers or mechanics, and they are dispatched to their destination and supported for ten days free of charge under the direction of an agent of the bureau. If after arriving at. his original dctination "the Immigrant wishes to continue his lourn-v st'll farther by another railroad, he Is provided with a ticket and conducted to tne station by the ant."

Thorium produces nieso thoriuni. and from ineso ihorlum conies forth rudio-thorium. Its activity is not permanent, like that of radium, hut it would last for mary years, und for most purposes would be as valuable us radium. Prof. C. HavPUnii points out that tho great Messli.a earthquake bad three centers of maximum disturbance, the greatest being under the Strait of Me sliia, and the utl.er two near Pulma and Monteleone in Italy. On other oe- ! casitnia some of tUau ciuura Lava saying a great deal, for she does not come of a clasa given to raising a quiver-full. Dr. Smith's comparison of college women with their non-college relatives went to show that neither had nr. average of quite two liv ing children, with the college woman a trlUe below the average of the ether, on account of her later marriage. Emerging from the thicket of figures and contradic tions which surrounds the marriage of the girl gradu ate, there arises another difficulty, but happily a less perplexing one. If she decides not to enter the state of matrimony and rear a small but admirable family, what happens to her? How does she earn a living? In the old days a well-bred and well-educated woman could teach, and she cotild do nothing else. Nowadays, while many professions are open to her, she still chooses this career in preference to any other, although the proportion of graduates It claims is not so large as for merly. The lines of work opened up by modern sociol ogy are attracting a gTeat many. Such professions will doubtless soon begin to rival teaching, and professora of economics in women's colleges bear this in mind. Turning again to the admirable statistics of Bryn Mawr, one finds that 145 students are teaching. Deduct ing the number of graduates without occupation, there are left about 4.'0 who earn a living. Of this number 145 is a high percentage. The percentage is not, how ever, keeping up to quite this level. Forty-five girls are put down as "paid philanthropists." As one of this' number observed, this is a dreadful name to call anybody, but it indicates the tendency of college wom en to turn toward social work of ono kind or another.
