An
Inheritance
Should It Go to the Church or to an
Heir of the Third Generation?
By F. A. MITCHEL
"Mrs. Whitridge," said Mr. Trevor,
"I have called to ask your assistance
In a very important matter to me. You
have six daughters, all of whom are
well married. While I am willing to
admit, madam, that these ladies are
most attractive. 1 cannot but attribute
something of the management of their
matrimonial lili'airs to you."
"You are quite right, Mr. Trevor.
Many of the best women in the world
are not married, and mauy of the most
undesirable ate. I believe this Is due
more to n lark of management for the
;;ir:s ou Kio part of their mother when
th:v come to a marriageable age than
any other cause. My daughters, as
you say, are by no means unattractive,
but the fact that they are all well and
happily married is due far more to
management than their own charms.
What can I do for you, Mr. Trevor?"
"I have but one sou, as you know
Arlhv.r. I have spent my whole life
iu building up a fortune and from my
boy's birth have set my heart In hand
ing it down through him to my de
scendants, lie disappointed me by
taking orders and now, being very high
church, has declared for celibacy and
refuses to marry."
"I see. You wish me to take such
measures as will break his resolution."
"If you will be so kind, Mrs. Whit
ridge, I would like you to throw in
his way some young woman of fine
character, of Irreproachable reputation,
of intellectual"
"I beg your pardou, Mr. Trevor. I
thought you said you wished me to
manage the affair."
"So I do."
"Well, then, permit me to say that I
think you must put up with a daugh
ter-in-law of entirely different caliber
from the kind you name or none at all
It does not strike me that such a worn-
un would serve our purpose in the pres
cut case. I have known you for years
and am sure no son of such a father
can be reasoned or persuaded into
changing a resolution, once made."
"How Is he to be handled?"
"Bamboozled."
"You Hatter me Indirectly, Mrs. Whit
ridge." "A strong man doesn't need a strong
woman."
"I see."
"I have in mind a young lady who at
school stood at the foot of her class,
hut as a flirt was at the head. She has
had many offers, but if she is a fool at
books she has practical sense enough
to wish for an establishment when she
marries. If you desire It I will endeav
or, with your assistance, to make a
match between your sou and her."
"Any port In a storm. What I want
is an heir of the third generation."
"Very well. To begin I shall Invite
you and your son to dinner. The young
lady will be present. When you have
left us tell your sou that you have
been much pleased with her and you
wish she might become your daughter-in-law.
He will demur, and you will
insist. After a uuniber of conversa
tions on the matter you will tell him
that either he must give up inheriting
your fortune or marry the girl of your
choice, provided, of course, that she
will have him."
"lie wishes my fortune for the pur
pose of building a cathedral."
"So much the better. I shall see
something of him myself and perhaps
may be able to make certain sugges
tions." "For what purpose?"
"To entangle him."
These preliminary arrangements hav
ing been made. Mr. Trevor arose to go.
"By the bye, Mrs. Whitridge," he said,
"I believe you are managing director
of St. Luke's hospital."
"I am."
"You have not called ou me for any
help. I should esteem it a favor if you
would permit tno to send you a check."
"I should bo very grateful."
"I will give you ?10.00 now and $20,
i00" he hesitated.
"Ou the first of the year'"
"No; on the day of my son's wed
diug." "Thank you very much, Mr. Trevor.
I think we understand each other. You
v.lll receive invitations for dinner with
in a few duys."
The preliminaries to this scheme of
inveiglement were carried out as they
fcnd been laid down by Mrs. Whitridge.
Miss Annette Sea ton, commonly called
"Nan" by her intimate friends, was
the girl selected by Mrs. Whitridge
for drawing the Itev. Arthur Trevor
from celibacy. A month passed, nt the
end of which It was reported that Mr.
Trevor. Sr.. had set his heart on Nan
Seaton for a daughter-in-law, but his
son objected naturally to one who was
to be described In two words, "stupid"
and "pretty." It was admitted that
she had been fancied by men of her
. own caliber, but a match with one of
the spiritual and lutelleetual power of
Arthur Trevor was preposterous.
One day the clergyman called on
j Mrs. Whitridge for assistance. "My
5 dear Mrs. Whitridge," he said, "by In
, troduclng father and mo to Miss Sea
ton you are likely unintentionally to
rob the church of a cathedral I pro
pose to build with my inheritance. Fa
ther hag taken a desperate fancy to her
and wishes me to marry her."
"That's too bad. Does your father
consider that the young lady may have
other plans for her future?"
"Oh. yes; he says that If she won't
have me he must give up his plan."
"And If she accepts?"
"In that event if I don't wed her fa
ther will disinherit me."
"And how can 1 help you?"
"You might say to Miss Seaton that
by refusing me she will be Instru
mental In saving to the church the tin
est Episcopal cathedral on this conti
nent."
"My dear Mr. Trevor. I would advise
you to make yourself an appeal to
Miss Seaton's higher uature. I know,
though 1 suppose I should not tell you,
that she admires you very much. That
will make her sacrifice nobler."
"Do you really think that, Mrs. Whit
ridge?" "I am sure of it. But I am violating
a confidence in letting you know her
feelings."
"And you advise me to tell Miss Sea
ton that this great work of mire de
pends upon her refusing na offer of
marriage from me?"
"I do; but, of course. If you put her
on her pride and she refuses you be
cause you do not wish her on personal
grounds your father will not consider
that excusable In you."
"Certainly not. It Is a very delicate
matter to put to n young lady. That's
why I come to you, hoping you would
do It for me."
"I am sure your father would not be
satisfied except by your making Miss
Seaton a proposal, Intimating that If
you had not embraced the doctrine of
celibacy you would be happy to have
her accept you. It would alRo, I think,
be legitimate for you to give her the
alternative of making the sacrifice for
the church. It would be a great sat
isfaction to you to have so worked on
her religious nature as to Induce her
to give up a husband that tho church
might have a cathedral."
Mr. Trevor was only partially per
suaded, but he said he would consider-
the matter of putting the case to Miss
Seaton. Mrs. Whitridge went so far
as to suggest that If he would do so
at her home she might bo of some as
slstance In the nintter. Upon this as
surance he asked her to Invite the
young lady there on the following
evening and give him the necessary
opportunity.
Now there was as much chance of
Miss Seaton's giving up an attractive
husband and a fortune that the church
might have a cathedral as there would
be of a small loy giving the lion's
share of his candy to his playmates,
She dined the next day with Mrs
Whitridge, who posted her on the sac
rlflce the clergyman hoped she would
make.
When Mr. Trevor called In the even
ing he found the two ladles in a cozy
little side parlor Illuminated by dimly
shaded lamps. Mrs. Whitridge soon
after arose to leave them, the clergy
man casting a wistful look after her as
she retired. She drew a portiere afier
her that Mr. Trevor might submit his
proposition without observation or in
terruptiou.
It was nearly an hour before he got
his courage up to a point that warrant
ed a beginning. Then he spoke of
those persons, most of them saints,
who had made sacrifices. From that
he spoke of his own resolution to give
up for the church wife and children.
Then he dwelt on the temples that had
from time immemorial been erected for
the worship of a divine power; the
myriad of souls that had found com
fort In them.
Here he paused to note tho effect on
his listener and was much encouraged.
He saw In her eyes a beautiful far
away look which seemed as If she were
gazing into heaven, seeming to drink iu
the lesson as from a divine teacher.
She had drawn nearer to hlni, so near
that he Inhaled her warm breath and
a delicate violet perfume that hung
about her.
Then he began tho work for which
he had been preparing her. He spoke
of Ids father's wishes, of the fortune
which he desired to turn Into stone and
uiorlar for the Lord's service. Then,
having dwelt on what a beautiful thing
It would be for her to resign this for
(une lie modestly left himself out of
the question to the church, he made
his proposal.
Meanwhile a few invited guests had
been coming in and were received by
the hostess In the drawing room. While
they were chatting n sob was beard
coming from the little side parlor.
Mrs. Whitridge started.
"I must see who's in trouble," she
said, and, crossing the hall, she drew
the portiere that screened the clergy
man and Nan Seaton. exposing them to
her guests. Nan was sobbing with her
head on the man's shoulder, while he
clasped her Iu an endeavor to console
her."
The trap was sprung. Leaving his
comprnlon, the clergyman, red as a
turkey cock, stepped forward and ask
ed to ln congratulated on his engage
ment. When Mrs. Whitridge and Miss Sea
ton were nlono for a few moments pre
vious to the hitter's departure for her
borne escorted by her fiance. Miss
fcaton asked:
"Did yon hear the signal?"
"Yes; yon gave it loud enough to
wake the dead."
The morning after the clergyman
wedded Nan Seaton Mrs. Whitridge
announced to the director of her hos
pital that she had received n donation
of $2'),0()0.
The Itev. Mr. Trevor Is rising In the
ministry. lie sometime speaks of
gifts he would like to make with tlie
fortune his father left him, but receives
no encouragement from his wife. She
has given the house of Trevor an heir

EQUALIZATION
BOARD MEETS
Railroad Assessments Likely to
Follow Heal Estate.
POINT OF LAW IS INVOLVED,
State Corporations Are Beginning to

specterl by Food Commissioner,
Leo Fails to Meet Board.
Lincoln, May 6. The state board of
equalization met today to consider
the assessment of railroad property.
It is not likely that any substantial
progress will be made or even at
tempted. The board is composed of Governor
Aldrlch, Secretary of State Walt, Aud
itor Barton, Treasurer George and
Iand Commissioner Cowles. The
equalization this year is particularly
important, as it la the year for as
scssing real estate. At present the
board has but a limited idea of what
Is being done in the way of valuation
of real estate in the various counties,
but reports received, in an Informal
way, Indicate there Is to be a substan
tial increase in valuation of this class
of property.
If that Is true an Increase In rail
road assessment Is likely, if for no
other reason that that of equalizing.
values. There has been no material
change In railroad assessments for
several years, and whether there
would be this year if it were not for
the Increased assessment on real es
tate, Is problematical. There are two
features, however, which are likely to
he viewed from a different angle
First, the railroads, which In the past
strenuously fought any Increase In
their valuations for taxing purposes,
have seen a new light and are not like
ly to protest, at least strongly, In view
of tho court decisions on the question
of valuation as a basis for rate mak
ing. Taxes are a drop In the bucket
compared with rates for freight andi
imssenser transportation.
Another new feature brought out Is,

company's right to the additional'
amount. If the board should decide to

would hardly be In a condition to pro
test.
As a basis for railroad valuation
three sets of figures are available:
First, the assessed value fixed by the
board last year: second, the nhvslca!

ASSESSMENT IS BIG PROBLEM
Cattle Sold First of April Brought Be
fore the Board.
Lincoln, May 6. If one certain resi
dent of Thayer county had known how
much trouble he could have saved him
lelf, the assessor of his county and
Henry Seymour, secretary of the Btate
board of equalization,' he would have
shipped his cattle one day earlier and
bald off what he owed on them before
April 1, the date on which the per
sonal property assessment Is made.
However, he shipped his stock the
last day of March and sold them oa
the South Omaha market the first day
of April. If they are assessed as cat
tle he Is entitled under the law to no
deduction for what he owed and the
same Is true if tho assessment is
made of money, but If the money Is
treated as an account he Is entitled
to a deduction for the amount he owed
under the law passed for the benefit
of merchants carrying heavy stocks of
roods for which they owed on a large
part. Mr. Seymour has turned the
question over to the attorney general
to solve.
