"There is just one thing left for us to do," he mad. "What's that?" cried a dozen voices. "It's a forlorn hope," said Carmack. "What is it ?" "We must send Dunnie down there to reason with Rod's father." "Dunnie, Diumie 1" cried the velem There was a little confusion on the outskirts of the group, and a slender lad was pushed. to the centre. "Oh. come, fellows," he protested, "this won't do." "Daring," Baia John Carmack, solemn- ly, "it's for the glory of the old. school, raid if any inan can do it, you're the man. rd trust you to wheedle. the monkeys down from a palm tree, or to warm the secret out of the sphinx, You've got to get at this prejuaiced old gentleman and. win him over. Don't say a word. This is my inspiration and you mastn't spoil it." The slender lad looked at big Rodney. "Any chance, Rod?" he asked. The big fellow shook his head. "I don't think there's any chance," he replied, "but I'd like to have you try just the same." "rn go," said the slender lad. "Good old Dunniel" roared John Car- mack, and the cry was echoed hy "You'll carry the dearest hopes of the college with you," said it voice. "He knows what he's carrying," said John Carmack. "Better go down there to -night, Minnie, and take a fresh start .at the old gentleman in the morning. Rod, here, will give you all the dime. tents. Do your best, old man, and tele- graph us the instant there's anything to say." He grasped the slender Ind'e band and gave it a warm squeeze. A moment later the little group bad broken up and the slender ltia was walking amuse the campus with big Rodney Mae. Early the next morning Dunham Greer came out of the dining-rooin of the little country hotel and looked up at the blue sky. ,It was a bright, clear day, and Dunham took it as a. bappy omen. He smiled as he glanced. around at the line of blue bills And the cot- tages nestling along the sunny slopes. Then he swung down to the roadway and started on 'his walk to the Hale farm. It was a. two-mile tramp aud Dunham did not burry. He was quite early enough, and he could put his ideas together as he walked. But, somehow the air was so bracing and the view so attractive that be quite forgot his ilttle speech and all his arguments. And then,' quite suddenly he mune to the big oak tree that stretched its great branches across the highway, and the Hale farm was just beyond. It was a clean looking farm, albeit a little rough, and the farm buildiegs seemed substantial mid well kept up. The farm house was of the usual type and had a look of homely Attractive - teas. Dunbam looked up at it as be passed through the gateway. Ite rapped 3t at the front door evith its ancient brass knocker. There we's no response, and he knocked again. Thee there was a little eltufflieg souna within, and a child's Voice celled "in just a minute." A moment later the door wile opened by a girl, a girl of tie:imps 14, a girl • who walked with a erutch, a girl whose pale face made her eager black oyes seem all the brighter. "How do you de, sir?" she said es she looked down at Denham on the lower step. "Quite well, thank yon," he stuilingly answered. "Is Ma Hale at home?" "He has gone up on the ridge for a little while. Won't yon come in and wait for him?", "Thank you, yes," Dunham answered, Ire noticed as the girl painfully walked away that 'the toes of one of her feet barelv readied the floor. Ire closed the door behind him and took the chair she pointed out. She seated herself in a little roeker and placed the eratch ort the floor by her side, "If you don't need," she said, "I am going to guess who you are." "I don't mind At ale" he laughed. "Put I think you'll fail." She looked at him with a pretty little frown. "One guess will do" she said. "You are Mt Greer. Mr. Dimnam Greer." "That's quite a wonderful guess," cried Dunham, "How eoeld you know?" "Brother Rodney has written about you," obe eniswered.

His eyes seemed to contract be-) neath the bushy eyebrows and Dunham felt eltrit he gueesea hie errand at once. "I am an envoy from the school, sir," he f4aid. "A what?" "An envoy, sir.' "Go on."

"Rodney elearly understands my wishes .on the subject," "He does, sir," "That's enough," "But, Mr. Hale—" "I say that's enoug,h." Dunham drew a long breath. The game was up. There was no softening this adamantine old man. And just then he caught a glance from tha crippled child and the glance meant, "Don't give up." "You mean well, I've no doubt," said the old man, "but your time is wasted, all wasted." "I'm afraid you don't realize the mean- ing of college pride, Mr. Mlle," fetid. Dun- ham, as he took a fresh grasp on his wailing courage. "'Stuff and nonsense," growled the old man. "eA college means more knowl- edge, knowledge of books, useful knowl- edge.

Those members of Erin's peerage. who are not representative peers, and who have no English dignities entitling them to a seat in the House of Lords, are at !liberty to stand for the House of Corn- ' mons, a. privilege which is not shared by the peers of Scotland. Thus the late Lord Palmerston, whose peerage was that of an Irish Viscount, spent his en- tire parliamentary career, extending over a period of threescore years, in the House of Commons, while it the present thne 'Viscount Yalentia, who is also an Irish peer, represents the city of Ox- ford in the Lower House of the Imperial Legislature.

I fused murmurs of underground activity, this pit seems to resemble an entrance to Plutonian regions rather than the com- monplace creation of engineers, planned to furnish an entrance to the new. tun- nel. To the more daring who tempt for- tune by descending the narrow wooden steps that lead vaguely down into the dainp darkness below the experience is worth the semblance of danger incident to making it. Half way down the stair- way turns, and here is the boundary be- tween the upper and lower world. At this point the mouth of the great shaft resembles strikingly the open dome of the Pantheon at Rome; beyond and be- neath tlfe journey is made in ever-in- creasing darkness. But at the foot of the shaft imagina- tion and sentiment end. Here the visitor meets the practical and sees the hand of the engineer. Straight before him as reaches the bottom level are two ragged arches, hewn in solid stone, and through them two narrow gauge tracks vanish into darkness, carrying tiny cars laden with rock blasted 200 feet beyond, for the work has already marched this far toward the Jersey shore. These rough arches, smoothed and lined, will oae day make the passageway for the great tubes. Already the engineers are at work preparing to equip the shaft with eleva- tors, and within a, short time material and workmen alike will be lowered and raised, and the wooden steps will lose their usefulness. Straight across the river, not more than it znile away, is another shaft, iden- tical in general character with that at Eleventh avenue and Thirty-second street. On that side of the river also the two tubes have been started, and for a few feet the work has gone under the solid. rock. These two shafts are the lungs of the tunnels. Throtigh these the hundreds of 'workmen will breathe. Some months bence the workmen descending through these shafts, one in Manhattan, one in Weebawken, will meet far under the Hudson, and then the tunnels will be the ,fattening Crates witen they are emnpleted. three months old.

At length the water was reported to the Howie of Lords, which accordingly enacted an order that the name and title of Lord Colville of Oeltiltree should not be call- ed at any future election at efolyrood until the claim thereto had been satis. facterily established by a. court of law. There are a number of Scotch peer s ages held by individuals whose claims thereto are, to say the least, extremely doubtful and hazy. But few people care to place themselves in the posi- tion of openly challenging the right of it person to whom in everyday life they stand in tlie relation of personal ac quaintanee and friendstip. Some Scotch peerages have been adjudicated. by the Committee of Privileges of the House of Lord% But theft has been only be- cause the rival claimants wish to have their controversies settled by law, and found that there was no other tribunal to which they could submit -their re- speetive claims. There is no obligation however, upon the eleimant to a Scotch peerage to submit his pretensions there- to to this tribunal unless his right to vote at liolyrood is contested:by a ri. val claimant or by two or more of the Scotch, peers present at the Holyrood election. I recall the case of one canny • Scotch peer who, wishing to have it clear title to his peerage, iyhich was questioned, and not caring himself to ineur the enormous expense of an ap. peal to the Committee of Privileges of the House of Lords, was smart enough to get himself elected a member of the House of Commons. By this means ho threw the trouble and expense of prov- ing that he was a bona fide peer, and as such debarred from a seat in the House of Comuons, upon his political oppon- ents, who, before they could deprive him of his seat in the lower house, were compellqd to show that be was a peer.
