(Copyrljht, 1!>1 7, Weitern Newipapor ITnlon.)
He was aednte to the point of sol¬ emnity at flmen, and Amos Tyndall WR« Ix'jjInnlnK to renllKo the fnct. Ill« had boon a peculiar pxperlenre. HrouRht up hy an uncle who was a pro¬ fessional antlqiinrinn, the nepht-w lind born Imbued with iintlqnc Idras. Al¬ most from the crndle tip to mnnhond. His hnby rattle was a relic from an old LoHflon wijtchman. his toys were Ivory Idols flve cpnturlea old. The hou.s« wna a vnst storehouse of nntlqui-s. The books he wns Riven to read were musty old voluinoH^prlcplfssIn values, but the contents dry, weighty and utterly Ira- poiiotrahle to the avcrnge mind.
His trnlnInK nnd cdiicntlon had won him a post ns curator nf n famous pub¬ lic nuiseuni. The perquisites nnd sal- nry were quite liberul, but Amos had im nmbitlon to <lif[usp the Inforiiintlon hi' had gnthert'd. He Piiterod the b-c- liirr field In nddltlon to his nitisoum duties. He yenrly went the rnuinlH of lenrn Ing. During the pnst yenr. how¬ ever, he fniiciod thut he wns following n b'^nten trnck.
"Tlicrc Is not much new to sny of tho old." he romnrked more thnn once.
"RrlKlitcn your discourse with sonio- ililtii; modern ns to style, then, profes¬ sor," suggested a close friend.
Once Trnfessor Tyndnll collected nil fhnt wns humorous nlong the Un«> of nnd ont humor. He assumed a light style In this ospeclnl ^\'ork, sent the nrtlole to n Journnl devoted to nntl- Quurlan features, nnd was frowned down. To the mind of the erudlt edi¬ tor the solemn dignity of age must not be Invaded with trifling wit.
For all that. Professor Tyndnll mnde the discovery thnt while old dyed-ln- the-"«vool college heads nodded approv¬ ingly at the delivery of time honored, hackneyed themes, the young students were dlstrnlt and bored. Again, his services were not called, for so nauch as previously. He revised bis old lec¬ tures, took the tattered, criss-crossed manuscripts to a city copyist, nnd plnced in tbe hands of Miss Lettie Rose the task of their transcription. The neat, pretty public stenographer and typist was about his own age, un¬ der thirty, and her interest In his lec¬ tures attracted him towards her. It got to be a pleasure to Tyndall to call upon and chat with the bright eyed, pleasant faced young lady.
"I have learned so much from your lecture on 'Ancient Pompeii,' Mr. Tyn¬ dall," said Lettie Rose quite enthusi¬ astically one day. "How very Interest¬ ing your profession must be—alwnys surrounded by mementoes of ages long since past, author, lecturer nnd ox- pert. I have flnished copying the lec¬ ture you are to deliver next week, nnd I copied al.so 'Humor of the Anclont.s,' Mr. Tyndnll, I thought noost of thnt."
"You did?" qucfitloned the iirofossor dubious as to the literary taste of his amanuensis.
"Yes, profes.sor," declnred Lettie [louprhtlly. "I mean ss to Its «BtHtal^ Ing qu.alltles. You will pardon rae for repressing my poor, Inexperienced Dplnlnn. but If I were a ynung man nt colloRo that nrtlclr would give me a most plensnnt hour."
"H'm!" commented the professor, rnthor dryly. "Tho editor I submitted It to quite—er—woll, sat down on It."
"Then he had no true sones of hu¬ mor," asserted Lottie. "It brings out a now vein In your llternry ability, pro¬ fessor. Renlly, I would try It out some time, just to see the effect."
"I hnve thought of doing Just that," murmured Tyndall In his abstracted wny. "Do you know I have often \von- ilerod If my routine lectures are not too dry and musty."
"Oh! never thnt, professor," dis- dniiiK-d Lettie.
"That friendly young lady Is open¬ ing iiiy eyes soniewluil," reflected Tyu- ilnll as he left Miss Hose nnd she was, indeed, not only as to the current value of his production, but u.^ well to a new conception of tlie lighter moods of life, without whioh existence becomes u dreary routine.
A few days later Tyndnll cnme In a desperate hurry into the otllce over which Miss Rose presided.
"I have Just time to catch a train, a. quick date for a lecture. The first copy you mode, please. Miss Rose."
Lettie reached iu the drawer of^ an open desk where the copied niauu- scrlpts lay, neatly folded. She .secured the one labeled "Ancient Pompeii" taking out several others to select It from. Then she became Interested In the expluuutlon of her patron that he was to deliver a lecture at a certain town that evening.
The churui of her> company made Tymiall temporarily forget the urgency of the (iccnsion, and Lettie was tio iu- terested tbat she unconRclousiy mixed up tlie mauuscrlpts.
"1 dticlare!" spoke tbe professor ab' i^Ptly. glancing at bis watch, uud be sprung to his feet.
"1 bave only flve miautes ia wbicb to catch my train."
Ue seized the manuscript Lettie handed blm, thrust It Into an liudde pocket, caugbt up bl« grip and bolted froia the door.
"Good luck I" Lettie cried out ct&eer- Oy after blm.
Profeuor Tyndall arrived at Ol«Te- Itad tliat tfterooon, to find two eiol' iNot profeMora »nd two geutleoieo whom he did not kuuw «t the ikitut. >
Tbs 0wU«i« autUttiilBto boraad dovs
thin momlnir. Profeaaor Tyndall, w«« ndrlfwd.
"Ton iitart|« met" marmared Tyn¬ dall.
"And the l(K?al Improvemeot «s»*»rla- tlon ta dlMppointed tn to a fipeaker they eTp«>cte(l. who han been taken 111. We were dlflrnmtng the feasibility of not disappointing ticket holder*. Toti would have no objection to flellverlng yonr lectnre at the town hall to the doable groupT"
"Certainly not, If yotJ believe the theme will at all Interest a mixed audi¬ ence."
At all events. It was decided that the lecture ahould he given at the hall at eight o'clock thnt evenlnj?. There was a great thronK, and the professor f^-lt somowhnt nervous, as "Ancient Pom¬ peii" wns not a theme to Interest the general puhlln.
And then, as he plnced his lerttire mnntiscrlpt flat before him on the rend¬ ing desk, a cold strenk ran down his bnck. He gasped, he stnrted. A fear¬ ful mistake hnd been mnde! Refore him was not the lecture he hnd select¬ ed to deliver, but "Humors of the An¬ cients." Miss Hose hnd jjlvon him tbe wrong screed !
A coterie of nngust college officials flllod th ¦ front rows of sents. Inward¬ ly TyiMlnll gronned as he Imnglnod the effect upon tbem of the humorous nrtlclo, for he hnd not memorized the other, and there wns nothing to do now but go on with It, or utt«'rly collnpse.
He begun. Twice he ventured to glance directly nt his stern jtidges. Ills sense of drend llgbtoned. Ile hnd just recited n fumous Roinnn Joke, full of wit nnd point. The whole row of col¬ lege offlclnls wore snilllOK. one nctual¬ ly grinned, another chuckhnl nudlbly.
And then a !)it of fun that was c«>Tn- preheudible to the most ignorant,
Tyndall Forgot the Urgency.
brought an appreciative "haw! haw I" from a group of students, and the en¬ tire audience Joined in applause. In effect, the lecture wns a grand suc¬ cess. There were congratulations on every side, nnd Professor Tyndnll, be¬ fore he left, was booked for three more lectures during; the senson.
ABi • tm 4ai« after iila return to <l»e dty there came.to him other de¬ mands for his oratorical service, for the fame of his daring Innovntion and its success hnd spread, and one lyceura bureau offerod .speciul contract terms for a yenr.
"Were you aware," spoke the •pro¬ fessor the first time he called upon the pretty typist, "thnt you gave me the wrong munuscrlpt when I last saw you ?"
"Oh, never!" fairly gasped Lottie.
He tolfl her all. She shivered nt her mistake, she bubbled over with joy at the happy outcome, nnd vhon Profes¬ sor Tyndnll started forth on his new nnd successful "lighter lecture vein," he hnd his wife for coinpnny.
BRAINS MORE THAN CAPITAL
Ability Is More Important as a Foundation for Commercial Suc¬ cess Than Great Wealth.
Coinmercini and flnnnclal circles in this nnd other cities, says the New York Times, are full of Instuncos df«m- onstrntlng that ability is a better and sufer foundation for fortune than money, and though the latter Is con¬ venient enough for use by the able man in making whnt is rather Inaccu¬ rately called his start. Its lack entitles him to no coinmisi'ratlon, nnd rarely delays more thun briefly his advance¬ ment toward the goul of his aspira¬ tion.
The young man with capital not ac¬ cumulated by himself may or may not be a success in business, but his money will not be the detenulnlng fac¬ tor in his upward course. If he does proceed In that direction, while It is about as likely as not to help him move the other way, should he be without the capacities required for making money for himself. Nobody with both body and brula well trulaed can truly be called without capital, nor need the coadlttoa of peuulless- nesa trouble either hioiself ur his friends. A thousand i>ath8 pre open to bim, and be will bave peuuiea a-plenty, if aot exactly as soon aa he pleases, at least witb no s^^ut delay.
