If* was wedntp to th* point of sol emnity at times, and Amos Tyndall whs beginning to real I iso the fact. His had been a peculiar experience. Brought up by nn uncle who was n pro fessional antiquarian, the nephew hnd been Imbued with antique Ideas. Al most from the cradle up to manhood. His baby rattle was a relic from nn old London watchman, his toys were Ivory Idols five centuries old. The house was a vast storehouse of antiques. The books he was given to read were musty old volutncs^prlceless In values, h u t the contents dry, weighty and utterly Im penetrable to the average mind. Ills training nnd education hnd won him a post ns curator of a famous pub- lie museum. The perquisites and sal ary were quite liberal, but Amos had an ambition to diffuse the information he had gathered. He entered the lec ture field In addition to his museum duties. He yearly went the rounds of learning. During the past year, how ever. he fancied that lie was following n h'*nten track. \There Is not much new to sny of the old,\ he remarked more than once. “Brighten your discourse with some thing modern ns to style, then, profes sor,” suggested a close friend. Once Professor Tyndall collected nil flint was humorous along the lino of ancient humor. He assumed a light style In this especial work, sent the article to a journal devoted to anti quarian 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 Tyndall made the discovery that while old dyed-ln- the-wool college heads nodded approv ingly at the delivery of time honored, hackneyed themes, the young students were distrait and bored. Again, his services were not called, for so much as previously. He revised his old lec tures, took the tattered, criss-crossed manuscripts to a city copyist, nnd placed In the hands o f Miss Lettle 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 Lettle Rose quite enthusi astically one day. \How very Interest ing your profession must be—always surrounded by mementoes of ages long since past, author, lecturer and ex pert. I have finished copying the lec ture you are to deliver next week, nnd I copied also ‘Humor of the Ancients,’ Mr. Tyndall, I thought most of that.” \You did?” questioned the professor dubious as to the literary taste of his amanuensis. “Yes, professor,” declared Lettle doughtily. “I mean as to ite eotartafek- Ing qualities. You will pardon me for expressing my poor. Inexperienced opinion, but if I were a young man at college that article would give me a most pleasant hour.’’ “PTm!’’ commented the' professor, rather dryly. “The editor I submitted It to quite—er—well, sat down on It.” “Then he had no true senes of hu mor,” asserted Lettle. “It brings o u t a new vein In your literary ability, pro fessor. Really, I would try It out some time, just to see the effect.\ “I have thought of doing just that,” murmured Tyndall In his abstracted way. “Do you know I have often won dered If my routine lectures are not too d ry and musty.\ “Oh! never that, professor,\ dis claimed Lettle. “That friendly young lady Is open ing my eyes somewhat,\ reflected Tyn dall as he left Miss Rose and she was, Indeed, not only us to the current value of h is production, but as well to u new conception of the lighter moods of life, without which existence becomes a dreary routine. A few days later Tyndall came in n desperate burry Into the otliee over which Miss Rose presided. \I have just time to catch a train, a quick date for a lecture. The first copy you made, please, Miss Rose.” Lettle reached In the drawer of, an open desk where the copied manu scripts lay, neatly folded. She secured the one labeled “Ancient Pompeii\ taking out several others to select It from. Then she became Interested In the explanation of her patron that he was to deliver a lecture at a certain town that evening. The charm of her. company made Tyndall temporarily forget the urgency of the occasion, and Lettle was so in terested that she unconsciously mixed up the manuscripts. “I declare!\ spoke the professor ab ruptly, glancing at his watch, uud he sprang to his feet. “I have only five minutes In which to catch my train.\ He seised the manuscript Lettle handed him, thrust it into an Inside pocket, caught up his g rip and bolted from the door. *■ “Good luck!” Lettle cried out cheer ily after Mm. Professor Tyndall arrived at Cleve land that afternoon, to find two eofl Mat professors end two gentlemen whom he did not know a t the depot. > The eoUspe sedltortam burned down - - .< .■ '. 11 1 ' ?* - , . this morning. Professor Tyndall, wee advised. \Ton startle me P murmured Tyn dall. “And the local Improvement associa tion la dlsainvoluted aa to a speaker they expected, who hss been taken III. We were dlseusain* the feasibility of not disappointing ticket holders. Ton would have no objection to delivering your lecture nt the town hall to the double group7” “Certainly not, If you believe the theme will at nil Interest * mixed a u d i ence.\ At nil events. It was decided that the lecture should he given nt the hall at eight o'clock that evening. There was a great throng, and the professor felt somewhat nervous, as “Ancient Pom peii” was not a theme to Interest the general publio. And then, ns he placed his lecture manuscript flat before him on the rend ing desk, n cold streak ran down his hack. He gasped, he started. A fear ful mistake hnd been made! Before him was not the lecture he hnd select ed t o deliver, hut “Humors of the An cients.” Miss Rose hnd given him the wrong screed! A coterie of august college officials filled ttlj front rows of seats. Inward ly Tyndall groaned ns he Imagined the effect upon them of the humorous nrtlcle, for he hnd not memorized the other, nnd there was nothing to do now but go on with If, or utterly collapse. H e began. Twice he ventured to glance directly nt his stern judges. I lls sense of dread lightened. He hnd just recited n famous Roman joke, full of wit nnd point. The whole row of col lege officials were smiling, one actual ly grinned, another chuckled audibly. And then a hit of fun th a t was corn- prehendlble to the most Ignorant, Tyndall Forgot the Urgency. brought an appreciative “ haw 1 haw I” from a group of students, and the en tire audience joined In applause. In effect, the lecture was a grand suc cess. There were congratulations on every side, nnd Professor Tyndall, be fore he left, was booked f o r three more lectures during the season. M at # Mw Beje after hie return to the city there came, to him other de mands for his oratorical service, for the fame of h is daring Innovation and Its success had spread, a n d one lyceum bureau offered special contract terms for a year. “Were you aware,\ spoke the -pro fessor the first time he called upon the pretty typist, “ that you gave me the wrong manuscript when I last saw you 7” “Oh, never I” fairly gasped Lettle. H e told her all. She shivered nt her mistake, she bubbled over with joy at the happy outcome, nnd when Profes sor Tyndall started forth on his new and successful “lighter lecture vein,” he hnd his wife for company. BRAINS MORE THAN CAPITAL Ability Is More Important as a Foundation for Commercial Suc cess Than Great Wealth. Commercial and financial circles In this and other cities, says the New York Times, a r e full of instances dem onstrating that ability is a better nnd safer foundation for fortune than money, and though the latter Is con venient enough for use by the able man In making what Is rather Inaccu rately called his start, Its lack entitles him to no commiseration, and rarely delays more than briefly his advance ment toward the goal of his aspira tion. The young man with capital not ac cumulated by himself may or may not be u success In business, but his money will not be the determining 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 bruin well trained can truly be called without capital, nor need the condition of peunlless- ness trouble either himself or his friends. A thousand paths fire open to him, and he will have pennies a-plenty, if not exactly e s soon as he pleases, at least with no g reat delay.. An Exception.
