The famous John Hancock cut a great Hgure In "Boston in those days it la ?ot surprising that Jack was 1m *Ly hlr grandeur, for he -had tofered the meeting-house In a scarlet lined . with velvet and strode to the W? a d,gn,ty even above hU # t. f faced about the boy whif to aotlc? an",?Tn"OT- av, to Philadelphia. He was a fall-faced, ruddy, strong-built man of about thirty five years, with thick, wavy dark hair that fell In well-trimmed tufts on either cheek and almost concealed his ears. It was beginning to show gray. He had a prominent forehead, large blue and expressive eyes and a voice clear and resonant. lie was hand somely dressed. Mr. Adams greeted the boy warmly and told him that the testimony which he and Solomon Blnkus gave had saved the life of Captain Preston. The great lawyer took much Interest In the boy and accompanied him to the top of the stage, the weather being clear and warm. When Jack was taking leave of Mr. Adnma at the Black Horse tav ern In Philadelphia the latter Invited the boy to visit him In Boston tf his way should lead him there. Jack went to the house of the print er, where he did not receive the warm welcome he had expected. Deborah Franklin was a fat, hard-working. Illit erate, economical, housewife. She had a great pride in her husband, but had" fallen hopelessly behind him. She re garded with awe and slight under standing the accomplishments of his virile, relentless, onpushlng Intellect. She did not know how to enjoy the prosperity that had coine to them. It was a neat and cleanly home. but. as of old, Dehornh was doing most of the work herself. ShtSvould not have had It otherwise. '?Ben thinks we ortn't to he doln' nnthln' Mil settln' eroiin' in silk dresses an' readin' hooks an' cahMn" with cnmp'ny." she said. "Men don't know how hnrd 'tis fo git help that rienn? cood an' cooks decent Kv er\ hmly feels I so kind o' Mg an' Independent they won't stan It to be found fault with." I Her daughter, Mrs. iiaclie, and the luttur'n children were tliere. Suddenly confronted by the problem of a Btmnge lad coming Into the house to live with them, they were a bit dismayed. Hut presently their motherly hearts were touched by the look of the hig, gentle faced, homesick bojP. They made a room ready for him on the top door and eliowed him the wonders of the big house ? the llbrury, the electrical apparatus, the rocking chair with Its fan swayed by the movement of the chair, the new stove, and grate which the doctor had Invented. That eve ning, after an excellent supper, Juck suggested that he would like to have a part of the work to do. "I can sweep and clean as well as anyone," he said. "My mother taught me how to do that. You must call on me for any help you need." "Now I wouldn't wonder but what we'll git erlong real happy," said Mrs. Franklin. "If you'll git up 'arly an' dust the main floor an' do the broom work an' Jill the wood boxes an' fetch water, I'll se? ye don't go hungry." Jack went f> the shop and was pul to work next morning. He had to carry ^eer and suffer a lot of humili ating Imposition from older boys Is the big shop, but he bore It patiently and made friends and good progress. That winter he took dancing lesson* from the famous John1 Trotter of New York and practiced fencing with the well-known Master Brlssac. He also took a course In geometry and trigo nometry at the academy and wrote an article describing his trip to Boston foi the Gazette. The latter was warmly praised by the editor and reprinted In New York and Boston Journals. He Joined the company for home defense and excelled In the games, on training day, especially at the running, wre? tllng, boxing and target shooting. There were many shootlug galleries In Philadelphia wherein Jack had shown a knack of shooting with the rifle and pistol, which had won for him the Franklin medal for marksmanship. In the back country the favorite amuse tnent of himself and father had been shooting at a mark. Jack forged ahead, not only In the printer's art, but on toward the full ness of his strength. "Under the stimu lation of city ^Hfe and continuous study, his talents grew like wheat In black soil. In the ?u?nqjer of 'sexenty three he began to contribute to the columns of the Gazette. Certain of his articles brought him compliments from the best people for their wit, penetration and good humor. He had. entered upon a career of great promise when the current of his life quickened like that of a river come to a steeper grade. It began with a letter from Margaret Hare, dated July 14, 1778. In It she writes: "When you get this please sit down ancj count up the years that' have passed since we parted. Then think how onr plans have gone awry. Yon must also think of me waiting her* for you In the midst of a marrying world. All my friends have taken their mates and passed on. I went to Doc tor_EranktIn~Today and toW^htm that I was an old lady well past nineteen and accused him of having a heart of stone. He said that he bad not sent for you because you were making sufch handsome progress In your work. I said: 'You do not think of the rapid progress I am making toward old age. You forget, too, that I need a husband as badly as the Gazette needs a philos opher. I rebel. You have made me an American? you and Jack. I will not longer consent to taxation without rep resentation. Year by year I am giving up some of my youth and I am not being consulted about It' "Said he: 'I would demand Justice of the king. I suppose he think* that his country cannot yet afford a queen. I shall telly him that he la Imitating George the Third and that he had better listen to the voice of the people." "Now, my beloved hero, the English girl who Is not married at nineteen la thought to be hopeless. There are fine lads who have asked my father for the right to court me and still I am wait ing for my brave deliverer and he comes not. I cannot forget the thrush's song and the enchanted woods. They hold me. If they have not held you ? if for any reason your heart has changed ?"?you will not fall to tell me, will you? Is it necessary that you should he great and wise and rich and learned before you come to me? Little by little, after many talks with the ven erable Franklin, I huve got the Ameri can notion that I would like to go away with you and help you to accom plish these things and enjoy the hap piness which was ours, for a little time, and of which you speak In your letters. Surely there was something very great In those moments. It does not fade and has It not kept us true to our promise? But, Jack, how long am I to wait? You must tell me." "The letter to Dr. Franklin was In his pocket." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Comforts of Science "I hear you have taken up psycho analysis." "Yes." replied Miss Cayenne.

Tho British rourts have been occu [iled of lute withva curious case, which turns on the right of a person to pro vide hy will for the destruction of his property. The will In question Is the testament of a retired engineer who hatWpussed Ills active life In India, and who went bach to England to shut him self up in a room In u London hotel and devote his days and nights to the study of English authors of the Shake spearean period. He collected a li brary that contains many rare and valuable folios and quartos and kept It In storage, bringing books to his ho tel as be wanted them to study or an notate. When he died he left a will hastily scribbled on a scrap of paper In which be directed that ull his books be burned, In order that other scholars might not see and use bis marginal notes. Of course the singularity of the will arrested public attention, and book lovers who knew the value of the col lection quite apart from ? perhaps In spite of ? the engineer's scribbled com ments look action to postpone the exe cution of the will until It could be de termined whether there was not some way of Having the books. We have not learned what decision, If any, the courts have made, but It seems that legal Ingenuity should be able to find some way of preserving the venerable volumes. Certainly com mon sense,- If It were allowed to con trol, would set the will aside. The state has long had the power to deter mine, If It pleases, how much of a man's property he shall devise, and It has also asserted Its authority to limit his right to distribute what be leaves. W)tiy, then, should It lack the power to nullify his order to destroy It? Conceivably a man might direct his executors to burn down a house to which he was attached, In order that no one else should ever enjoy It ; or a woman might order her Jewels to be destroyed in order that no one else ?.night ever wear them. Would not a court be Justified In setting aside such wills as those on the ground that the testators were of unsound mind ? on one point at least? How* valuable the engineer's library Is we do not know; bat it Is Incredible that the courts would permit such s library, for ex ample, as that of Mr. Henry E. Hunt ington- In this country to be destroyed. Mr.' Huntington himself would, of course, be more htrrlfied than any one else at . the Idea of burning the books that he has so lovlnr.ly collected, but would not any one of sound mind shrink from such- an act of vandalism? Perhaps the courts may direct that the laborious notes of the retired en gineer be erased, and that the volume*, thus purged of his scholarship, be pre served. The world can probably get along very well without his comments ? we have not heard of any unseemly competition among English scholars for the chance to examine them ? but the old folios, we hope, will survive for many another bookworm to possess and enjoy. ?
