HIS DEEP SCHEME
Peter's Philanthropy Proved to

BY JANE OSBORNE.
When pretty Marlon Drow, after
thrco years in society, took up nettlo
tnent work and gavo up her Saturday
mornings at tho country club for the
sake of teaching7 the "llttlo mothers"
of tho tenements the art of sewing,
a decided damper was cast on coun

ful success as n sottlomont worker, in" of u- """. "" .ll!'r, U? "
"She began two weeks ago with
only ten llttlo girls," he would toll
their mutual frlondH, "and since then
her class has gro.wn to twenty." lie
didn't add that tho reason for this In
crease In membership was an ice
cream feast served on his order.
"Marlon is a wonder nt that sort of
work," ho would go on, "nnd I have
no doubt that she will make It her
life work."
News of the Ico cream party spread
through tho neighborhood with won
derful effect and In another week tho
twenty had increased to thrlty. Mar
ion wns glad they appreciated tho
treat, sho told them. It had been
given to thorn by a "friend of theirs,"
and she wanted tho secretary of tho
llttlo club to wrlto n letter of thanks
to this "friend." This Marlon did In
order to Instil habits of politeness
nnd gratitude in hor smnll charges.
"nut, teacher," said ono of tho clasB
to Mnrion, "you ought to thank tho
friend cause the friend muBt havo
done It for you. The friend has nevor
seen us, and people don't give parties
to pcoplo they havon't seen."
This wns sound logic certainly, but
Marlon met it.
"Dut this friend has hoard a great
deal about you. Now I am suro our
little secretary can write a nice let
tor." The bright-eyed llttlo secretary was
pensive for a few minutes. Then sho
raised her hand nnd asked:
"Tencher, what must I call the
friend?"
"Oh," said Mnrion. with a blush
that did not escnpo the keen eyes of
her llttlo socretnry. "I think you
won't need to use tho friend's name.
I will deliver tho letter for you."
The secretary chewed tho end of
hor poncll In thought. "Yes, but,
teachor," sho finally asked. "Is It n
'lady friend' or a 'gontloman friend'
causo on account of tho 'Dear Sir"
or tho 'Dear Madam' at tho top. Tho
teacher at school said wo should be
gin letters that way. . rieforo long tho
lettor waH written. "Dear Sir," It
began, "wo thank you for tho grand
ico crenm you gave us. Our mothers
and fathers say, 'What a nlco teacher
wo must havo to havo bucIi a rich
friend to glvo us such a treat.' Wo
hopo you will como to seo us sow
sometime."
Marlon rend the lettor and, though,
It was not quite what sho had expect
ed, sho put it in her handbag, and
thnt night posted it to Peter without
comment.
Thus encouraged, Petor ordered an
other Ico crenm treat for tho follow
ing week, but this tlmo tho roll of tho
class hnd reached forty, and as news
of thlB second treat went tho rounds
of the neighborhood, tho class reach
ed sixty. It was really a marvelous
success. Novcr since the settlement
house hnd boon established had any
one had such a popular class as had
Marlon, nut it would havo taken n
far mor&rcsourcoful settlement work
or than Marlon to keep sixty llttlo
girls busy sowing without feeling tho
strain.
"Say, teacher," said ono of thorn to
,Marlon ono day, as sho encircled
Marion's slendor waist with hor lit
tle arm. "Wo wished you taught ub
achool."
"Yes, teacher," added another lit
tlo girl. "We wen saying how grand
It would ho If you taught us schooli
And, say. teacher," she whispered In
eonfltlenro to Marlon, "my father
knows n policeman who knows nn
alderman with a pull and maybo he
could got n teaching Job for you. You
don't got paid for teaching here, but
ot real Bchool teaching you get rich."
A prominent member of tho sowing
class poopoohed tho Idea. "Teacher
don't have to work. Sho Is going to
get married. Aren't you, teacher?
Sure, teacher Is going .to marry tho
rich gentleman that sends tho Ice
cream. Aren't you, teacher?"
Marlon was still blushing from tho
effects of this remark when an aus
picious sllcnco fell on tho crowd of
children and all eyes wern focusscd
on the door. Then a chorus broko
out. "Teacher, hero Is your friend.
Here Is votir uentleman friend." nnd
Marlon turned around to sec tlio
beaming face of Peter.
Poor Marlon was never so confused
In her life as sho was at this minute.
Of course, sho was glad Peter had
come, but having to speak to him

nt all, but had done it all because of
I his Interest In her: that hn had sent
, the "parties" to tho children so thnt
I the class would get too largo for her
j to handle, nnd sho would bo forced
to give It up nnd so como back to the
I club activities; that ho had told p-?o-l
plo of her success so that they would
weary her with their comments but
now as ho looked at her ho hadn't
tho heart to spoil her enthusiasm
over his interest, nesldes ho had
really enjoyed the sowing class nnd
the prospect of spending next Sat
urday with Marlon. Making n boat,
load of poor children happy was
much more alluring than tho pros,
poet of shnrlng hor society with a
half n dozen other young men at tho
club.
"Marlon denr," Petor said, encour
aged by what bIio had Just said to
him. "I know you mennt what you
said when you said 'No' beforo, but
won't you glvo mo another chancb?"
Marlon was perplexed, and then
tho sound of childish voices wns
heard again in the hall.
"I know ho was a swell when ho
sent tho first 'party,' one of tho little
girls was saying, "but I novor know
he was such a big swell till 1 saw
him."
Another voice broko in. "Say,
Isn't teachor lucky? Maybe thoy aro
married alrendy."
Peter smiled at Marion, and Mnrion
looked up with happiness In hor
eyes. "Yes, Petor," Bhe whispered,
"I nm lucky, but let's CBcapo beforo

"That wns a misunderstanding
which did not necessarily indicate

amining board of plumbors. "It was
just such a misunderstanding as bo
fell tho young German girl.
"A rosy, blue-eyed, yellow-haired
German girl cnllod at tho general de

a letter thoro'for Lena Muller.
" 'There's ono for Lena H. Mullor,
said tho clerk, Interrogatively.
" 'Yah, dot's me,' said tho girl, Broil

"You forgot tho H, oh?' said tho
clerk, ns ho handed hor tho letter.
" 'Ach, so I did,' alio answered. 'H.,

"I attribute my good condition to

"In thnt enflo." said tho reporter,
