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

The slender lad looked at big Rodney.

"I don't think there's any chance," he
replied, "but I'd like to have you try

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

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?"

Here comes father."
Abner Hale was not a prepossessing
man. His face was lined, and rugged,
his eyebrows were drawn down with
what seemed a perpetual frown. He
looked at Dunhaan inquiringly.
"Father," said the girl, "this is Mr.
Dunham Greer, from the college. Ha
wants to talk with you."
"What is your business?' the -old man
asked. 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."
"I hav-e been eent Imre to tell pelt how
necessar3, it is -that your son Rodney'
should -take part in the great football
game t -o -day."
"I thought so. \no sent you?"
"All of the undergraduate body, sir."
"Did Rodney send you?"
"No, sir."
"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.

There is no meeting of the Irish peers
for the purpose, as in the ease ot the
election of tbe repreimatatives of the
peerage of Scotland, the members of
which assemble for the purpose in Holy -
rood Palttee, at Edinburgh. Ireland's
peers merely „mail their vote in dupli-
cate to the crown office at Dublin, where
the one part is filed end the other
eertifiea by the clerk of the Home of
Lords. The peer thus chosen by his
fellow peers of Ireland to be ove of the
twenty-eight repi•eeentatives of the or-
der in the House of Lords at Westmiza
stet, holds his office for life, and every
one of the peers of Ireland who does not
happen to be a niinor, a 'mantic, or who
has not been discharged from bank-
ruptcy or who does not already hold it
seat in the House of Lords by virtue of
an English title or occupy a seat in the
House of Canteens; has a eight to take
part in the election.
There are nore than eiglity Irish peers
other than the twenty-eight representa-
'tive peers who occupy seats in the House
of Lords •by virtue of peerages of the
United Kingdom, which they hold in ad-
dition to their Irish donors, so that of
the 5a3 members of the Upper House of
Great Britain's natinal legislature more
than one hundred are peers of Ireland.
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. While occupying seats in
the Commons Irish peers forego al the
prerogatives and immunities of the peer -

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

peerages, while more than half of the to-
tal number of Scottish peers have reeeiv-
slated in answering and voting as Lord
Colville of Oehiltree whenever the lat-
ter's name was called, aithough the peer-
age in question was extinct. 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.
