It Was Not For Ransom, but
For a Benefit to the
' . Kidnaped
By MARTHA V. MONROE
Rudolf Kenyon at sixteen , graduat
ed from the high school of the town in
which he lived. He. was a bright boy
and would have been glad to go to
college, but'his mother had done all
she could for him, and it was time he
began. to do for" her. Consequently he
. must go to worK. .
The graduating exercises were over,
the pupils had been handed their di
plomas, and Rudolf started for his
home to tell his mother all about it.
Leaving the main thoroughfare, he
entered the quiet street in which he
lived, having still half a dozen blocks
to go to reach his home,vwhen an auto
mobile that was being driven in the
the curb a few yards ahead, of him, a
man alighted, took him by the arm
and forced him into the car. Rudolf
wasefriysically no match for the man
fcid offered little resistance. Once in
ir. he was powerless to call as
r it was a closed vehicle,
aptor at once drew down the
we was Kidnaped to De neia ior
'did not occur to the boy for
reasons. In the' first place, the
'who had taken him was a mild
jn ,nnered person, with no resemblance
j&Tthe class of common kidnapers. In
the second place, kidnaping was as
sociated in Rudolfs mind with little
children, too young to serve as effec
tive witnesses against their captors.
Thirdly, the man told him in a reas
suring voice that he would be at no
discomfort whatever. As they drove
along he asked Rudolf a few questions
"Do you remember your father?"
"No: he died when I was a little
child."
"Has your mother ever spoken to
you of him?"
"I don't remember that she has."
"And you have never had the curi
osity to ask about him?"
"indeed. 1 nave. Dut nave not uone
so because to mention him always
given my mother pain."
The; man paused in his questions and
seemed to be thinking. Then he asked
- stjMittwr:. .
."Have you ever gathered from your
mother or any one else that your
father while living acted in a repre
hensible manner?"
"No one has ever talked to me about
him. The impression that I have re
ceived from my mother is that she
mourned him as any widow would
mourn her husband."
This seemed to produce a decided
effect on the man sitting beside Rudolf.
Again there was a pause, at the end of
which came another question.
"Then you have never - heard your
mother say that your father was a
bad man?"
"Certainly not"
The man seemed to be profoundly
moved. He attempted to take the boy's
hand in his. but Rudolf drew away, and
his captor did not renew the attempt.
They were some time in the car. at the
end ; of which they turned into the
grounds of a handsome house, and
the car drew up under a porte-cochere
at the end of the porch. The man got
out and beckoned Rudolf to follow him.
"Come into the house with me,", he
said to the boy. "I have something to
tell you. If after you have had plenty
of time to consider what I shall say to
you you wish to go home you will be
sent there."
This not only caused Rudolf to feel
easy, but by this time his curiosity
was excited to learn something about
this man who had asked him questions,
about his father and had kidnaped
him on the very day he had been
graduated from the high school. On
entering the house a maid appeared.
and the man told her to show the boy
to a room and he was to come down to
luncheon in half an hour. The maid did
as required, speaking kindly to her
charge and showing him every atten
tion. The time did not seem long be
fore she informed him that luncheon
was readj. On going down stairs he
found his capjEor in the library. Rudolf,
so far as he had noticed the man's ap
pearance, hd done so regarding him
as an enemy. Now that this feeling
had worn off he was surprised :to see
a gentleman who gave evidence of re
finement. " He led the boy into the
dining rooai. luxuriously furnished, and
a butler stood ready to serve the lunch
eon. "
"I shall not eat anything." said Ru
dolf. "till I nave had an opportunity to
send my mother a message. 'V j
"mat you may ao. 11 as your motner
a telephone?" ; -
r "No, but our next door neighbor has
s one, and we are permitted to use it."
. "Show him ; the telephone booth."
said the host to the butler.
Rudolf went to the booth, called for
his - mother and .found her much
worried at his failure to return to her
after the school exercises. He gave her
n brief account of what had happened,
finding her an excellent listener, but
1 1 hi. Trinn .
Lid I CI ' ivV J li v 1 vy 1 li iu J v- ir o w
, who his captor might be and what
were his intentions be found her un
communicative.: 'As soon as he told her
he had been promisetl that after he had
i
dstened '. to what the stranger liad to
gay and had time to consider it he
might go home , she seemed . much re
lieved and told him not to try to es
cape, but await further developments.'
On leaving the .. telephone Rudolf
found . his captor-host waiting for him
in the dining room, and' the two sat
down to such a luncheon as the boy
had never, tasted before. While they
were eating the gentleman talked, but
not about what Rudolf wished to hear
an explanation of this strange captiv
ity. He asked Rudolf what he proposed
to do now that he had left school, and
when Rudolf told him that he was go
ing to hunt for a position in business
the other shook-his head. - 1
You will never succeed in business,"
he said. - . ,
Why do you say that?"- -
By the shape of your head and the
expression of your face 1 judge that
you were born for an intellectual ca
reer. - How' would you like to go to
college?" " ,
Oh. I should like that above all
things. But I can't. Mother has done
everything for me up to this time, and
now that I am nearly a man I must
begin the work of taking care of her."
The host seemed to wince at this and
remained quiet for a time. .Then he
continued: - "
"If certain arrangements can be
made which I shall propose to you.
will you go to college?"
This quite took Rudolf's -breath
away. For one year during which his
mother was ill she had been obliged
to put him in a store as errand boy.
This had given the natural distaste
there was in him for business an op
portunity to crop out. The bare idea
of going to college filled him with de
light. "Where will the money come from?"
he asked.
"I will furnish that"
Rudolf, though intent 'upon knowing
more, thrust back the next question
that was on his tongue and applied
himself to a delicacy which the butler
served him.
When the luncheon was finished his
host led him to the library, pointed to
an easy chair, then, seating himself in
another, said: -
"Rudolf, your father is not dead; he
Is very much alive." ;
The boy started, then sat looking at
the speaker, waiting hungrily for more.
"He came to America from England
about twenty years ago. He was the
son of a nobleman, and in that country
they have what they call a law of
entail, which settles the family estate
on the oldest son. Your father was
the second son. He came to America,
met your mother, who was then a
beautiful girl, fell in love with her
and married her. After you were
born his father in England sent for
him to come back without his wife
and a proposition would be made to
him. ne accepted the invitation. His
father told him that his older brother
had received an injury while hunting
from which he would never recover.
If your father would remain in Eng
land, divorce his American wife and
marry among his peers in England he
should be put in possession of the title
and estates. Your father after much
persuasion wrote your mother of this
proposition. She consented to it and
obtained a .divorce on the ground of
ueseruon. lour ratner manned again,
and his wife died childless a year ago.
"These are the bare facts. I shall
neither try to excuse your father nor
to condemn him. That I leave for
your mother to do. I. will say, how
ever, that he condemns himself bit
terly' "Where is my father now?" asked
Rudolf, wondering.
"Here; J am your father."
There was a pause, after which the
boy asked why he had been kidnaped.
"I came to America to make amends
for what I have done. Your mother
can best be made to forgive me through
the one she loves best her son. I de
sired to tell you the story in my own
way and send my supplications for
forgiveness to her through you. You
are free to go back to her this after
noon and ask her if she will receive a
visit from me."
Rudolf sprang to his feet. "I will go
now; I am sure she will do as I wisfi
and I wish that she shall forgive
you." .
The car was ordered, and the two
went hand f ' o the porte-cochere.
There Rud' arms about
his father's 1. , j. himvand was
carried away. -
When Rudolf reached home his moth
er asked him to give her a couple of
hours of quiet thought in her room
and then she would give him her de
cision. For awhile she found it hard
to conquer rebellious feelings against
the .husband who had deserted her, but
memories of her early happy married
life softened her heart. -
Rudolf went back with a favor
able reply. He remained at the house
his father had temporarily taken dur
ing his stay in America while .his
father went for an interview which
I the boy hoped and prayed might bring
a family reunion. During the time that
he was left alone he was treated with
every attention by the servants, but so
great was his impatience to. learn what
might be the result of the interview
t-between his parents that he found no
enjoyment' in the luxury by which he.
was surrounded. r Oh the third day af t
er his father's departure the car pulled
up under the porte-cochere. L Rudolf
ran out eagerly. His father alighted,
hen heaven be : praised handed out
his mother. Rudolf ran to her. and
she caught him in her arms.
What further explanation the boy re
ceived was 'given by -his mother. The
pair had just been married a second
time and were to live together. The
husband and father was now Earl of
Edgerton. and the son was heir to th
title and estates. : " .' ' '
SQUARE OF THE CIRCLE
For All Ordinary Mechanical Work the
; Formula . 3.141 6 Is Used. ;
tThe ratio- of the length of the cir
cumference of a circle to its diameter.
sought during many, thousands of
years, has never been discovered. It
has been known for decades of centu
ries, away back to the. Aryans and to
the Egyptians or rather to the non-
Egyptian pyramid of Suptiis builders--
that the circumference of ' a circle is
three and a fraction times longer than
its diameter. ' - r
This fraction has been sought by
computers in every great nation from
prehistoric times. Within modern
times it has been computed with accu
racy and by enormous labor in Germa
ny out to 635 decimal places with no
end there is always a remainder to
be reckoned.
But all of this work was useless, be
cause high mathematics has shown
that the string of figures will never
come to an end in any finite number of
figures. And as these men cannot
think of infinity they made the sym
bol of infinity and stopped wasting
time many years ago.
The circumference of a circle is
3.14159265 plus longer than its diame
ter. But in all ordinary mechanics, as
in factories, machine shops and the
like, the number 3.1416 is used. Thus
the difference between lengths of cir
cumferences of locomotive drivewheelsc
or any other made by using one or the
other of these values could not be de
tected mechanically without micromet
ric measurement. ' New York Ameri

Gabriel. After the risen body has sat

a true Mussulman . it will receive
strength to stand, alone. A glance
from a dog is necessary to drive away
the spirit of defilement, and for this
purpose a street cur is brought into the
room of death and its eyes led to the
corpse by a tempting bit of bread laid
on the still breast. Pall Mall Gazette.
. Kissing the Hands.
The practice of kissing the hands
was instituted by the early Roman rul
ers as a mark of subjection as much as
one of respect, and under the first Cae
sars the custom was kept up, but only
for a time. These worthies conceived
the idea that' the proper homage due to
their exalted station called for less fa
miliar modes of obeisance, so the privi
lege of kissing the emperor's hand was
reserved as a special mark of conde
scension, or distinction for officers of
high" rank. Roman fathers considered
the practice of kissing of so delicate a
nature that they never kissed their
wives in the presence of their daugh
