11Y WIl. 1,1AM SAWYP.lt,
Tlio niniiey came to mo under tlio will of
old Itodney Gauiitlctt. Kverybody in the
city know him in his lifetime knew him as
a shrewd, active, hot-tempered man, and
called him "old," while ho was yet in his
pi into. As far as memory goes hack, he
justified the epithet, lie, looked old, with
ered, di it'll up, yet there was plenty of life
in him, as those found who crossed his path,
or tried to overreach him in tho biuiness
transaction!) that took him every day into
tlie thief places of resort in the city.
1 was only, as I knew (juito soon enough,
the child of an old friend one Col. Antho
ny W'yvcrn whom lie had adopted out of
charity.
Having so adopted mo ho did his duty by
me. All admitted that; tho praise, of him
in that paitiettlar rang as a ceaseless piean
iu his cars and in mine. And I was daily
bidden lo take nolo how good ho was, how
loving and how generous ; and what infinite
return, by tho way of goodnc.-s, gratitiidc.do
cility, preseverance, and I know not what
oilier virtues, all this demanded at my
hands.
Ouis was not a very lively home. Our
limi-e ttat an old one that had held its own
in the city when the cily had even its pala
ces. Hut in tlio long course, of time it had
yielded, foot by fool, to encroachments on
all sides, until it was fairly bricked in, and
utleily lost to public gaze. It could only
be reached by means of passngo through
mother hou-e, which had planted its great
broad back right iu front of our windows,
ami so obstructed our view and shut out our
light.
Old IJodney Gauntlett's own rooms were
on tho ground floor; they were liko dun
germs hut he never saw them so. All tho
year round he breakfasted and dined by
candle light; yellow wax-lights, iu old
plated candelabra, red as copper, were al
ways lit for him night and morning. That
was his fancy, and liko all his other habits,
had taken firm root in him
l!iidget and 1 lived upstairs. Hridgot, by
Iho way, was our one domestic housekeep
er, nurse, and general servant in one. She,
was as old as her master, lirhlgct was my
good friend and almost solo companion.
If I could have wished her other than she
was, it would have been in respect ol her
sen.-o of Ilodiiey Claupllelt's goodness to
mc, and of Iho hard inea-me of gratitude
she thought proper to exact from my un
happy self iu return,
As 1 was saying, our rooms were up stairs;
they were three, in number, and formed tho
whole of tlio second lloor. Sly share com
prised a very largo bedroom, that hud been
a reception room iu tho old times, and n
smaller apartment opening out of it. liridg
et's chamber was onuido mine, her door
close to Iho top of tho great slalica'o; so
that sleeping there- she, iu a manner, kept
watch and mud otcr me.
Tho smaller room, iu which I lived, was
liko a room borrowed fiom Iho last century.
Tho fiirniliiio was iu keeping; tables with
curved legs and brass handles and fittings ;
chairs with oval backs and striped moreen
cushions ; eicriloires with draws, and Intll
anjais all the.-o were conspicuous. Hut
most conspicuous of all was a Japanese- cab
inet, very largo and cumbrous, black as
ebony, with quaint figures iu gold and dead
colors, lu slight relief. It must once have
been very cosily ; but was now out of re
pair, and was only used as it receptacle fur
papers,
I never recall my room without a thought
of this cabinet, It is especially associated
will, tho 1 1 1st visit of a friend of Koduoy
Gauiitlctt'-', who afterward caino often to
tho old house far oflcner than I eared to
sco hint. I recall that visit like a dieatn
I sccui to seo myself, a pale, slim girl, with
a hair of icddlsli hue, so thick that it will
never keep its place iu any knot into which
1 twist it, but is always hanging about my
Hhoulderc, studded with hair pins. 'Tin
evening, and I am close to tho window,
straining my eyes over a book Iu tho failing
light. Tho book touches mo deeply, and 1
am conscious that iny eyelids are ted, nnd
that there are tears on my checks. While
I am thus absorbed, tlio door opens, nnd
Hridgct enters, bearing in ouo hand one of
tho old plated catidclfibrrt with ax lights
flaring In It, and so preceding two other
persons. Ouo is Kodncy Oaimtlclt hlmelf;
tho other a stranger a fine, tall, square
shouldered man, with nn olive face, black
eyes, nnd shining white teeth, As I give a
icared look, nnd toss back my cumbrous hair
ll is Sir, Gnunllctt who says, pointing to the
stranger, "Sir. Hugh Dinisdalc, my dear, nn
esteemed friend of mine."
Tlio night's introduction was, as I have
said, followed by many a visit on the part
of Sir. Hugh Dimsdalc. U was not long
before he declated liiuncif my devoted ad
inircr, and begged me to regard him as n
suitor for my hand. Sly patron, too, hinted
as delicately as ho could that such an ar
rangement would bo gratifying to him, As
for Hridgot, Bhe declared him to bo the finct
gentleman in iho whole world, and was per
petually legardlng mo with her head on one
side and her hands raised in a sort of cc
stacy of admiration at my good fortune,
Hut I received him coldly; 1 could not
like him; his coming chilled my heart.
Tlio touch of ins hand distressed mo so that
I dreamed of it iu tho night, nnd woko up
with a shudder,
Still ho came and came. 1 had a suspi
cion that ho knew how 1 loathed him, and
gloried iu his power to inflict tho torture of
his presence on mc ; gloried still more in
suggesting a further horror.
"Am 1 never to prove my love by shott
ing how happy I can mako you ?" lie would
ask.
"f am very happy," would bo my cold
reply.
"Hut as my wife? Ah, if wo could only
realio tho future I have planned!"
"The present amply contents mo."
So it went on.
At last he lost all patience, and grew
fairly angry with mc. Whenever wo met,
his words were harsh and his looks threat
ening. I could not endure this, and in one
passionato outburst bade him begono and
trouble me no further,
"I will never be your wife," 1 said. I
will dio firt. 1 halo vou. Leave ino I"
Ho'obeycd ; but there was a malignant
glitter in his eyes as ho strodo from tho
room, and I saw that lie bit his thin lips to
bleeding to keep in the words with which
ho would have cursed me.
For more than a month I saw him no
more. 11ns might liavo surprised mc, out
during tho latter part of that time I had no
leisure to give a thought to him. Sly bene
factor was taken ill. It was tho winter
time, and he was seized with a slight cold,
of which ho took no heed untjl inflamma
tion followed, and ho was soon really ill.
lCvcn then he would not deem himself an
invalid, would not seo a doctor, or givo up
bis daily pursuits. Within a week ho was
worn to a shadow ; his eyes sank, his
shoulders rounded, and a cough tore fiercely
it his lungs. 1 was terrified, but ho only
laughed at my fears, and declared that bo
would soon lie better.
On the eighth night of his illness I sat
late in my room. When I at length started,
in out of a vision, I was conscious of a chil
liness, and of its being very Into. I put my
hand to my waist for my watch. It wanted
throe minutes to two o'clock. W.is that
right by the clock on tlio mautlcpieco ? I
asked nivself. Instinctively I looked up.
Tho leaning oval glass reflected mo as i
sit. I saw my own I.ice ami liguro ; and I
saw more. There was another faco looking
over my shoulder another figure standing
at inv back I
Yes, clearly and unmistakably I s.uv my
benefactor, Itodney Gauntlctl, standing
there, and bending over mo witii a strange
pitying look in his face.
"You here, sir !'' I cried, turning round,
frightened I know not why.
There was no answer.
I half rose.
As I did fo, tlie form receded from me.
It went slowly, with tlio sliullling gait of an
enfeebled man. The face was toward nic
even when there was tho widtli of the roo.n
between in. Then it turned away, it
turned toward the Japanese cabinet, and I
saw an uplifted forefinger beckoning me to
observe what followed. Tho movement was
so natural, so real, that it seared away
tho fears which were beginning to paralyze
mo.
".speak, lo me, sir I" I cried out, stepping
forward as I spoke. "Or if yon are too
ill"
Tho linger was raised again ; this time as
if lo silence me. Then tho faco half turned.
I could catch tho expression of the eyes,
and followed them. They seemed lo single
out a spot a rosebud iu tho lloiver pattern
of tho cabinet and then tho pointing lin
ger went straight to the spot.
Unless 1 dreamed, tlio bud yielded under
the pressure of tho finger-tip.
1 saw it sink am! spring back to its place.
Then utmost instantly a long narrow panel
fell out and dropped on tho ground.
"You wish to show mo tlio secret of this?"
1 gasped, looking up from the .-pot where the
panel lay.
A small aperture had been laid bare; ovi
dently a secict recess; and what it contained
w is clearly lcvcalcd to my gaze.
It was a folded p iper.
Casting my eyes hurriedly over it I saw
that it was u will K idney G.inulletl's will.
Through amass of blurred letters I gathered
that by means of it ho revoked all former
wills; and then I lighted on those word
glowing, as they seemed, letteisof lire ;
all my real and personal estate,
amounting at tho present writing to three
million) sterling, to Julia G.tuntlett, other
wl.o kuotvit and dcsigualcd by mens Julia
Wyvern, my own true and lawful daugb

1 could read no more. Tho word swain
before my eyes.
What! Was I Itodney (launtlctt's only
child? Was it a fiction that ho bad rearei
mo out of tho love ho bore his old friend ?
What mystery was hero? What could have
prompted so titrange, so cruel a course?
And now, why did ho seel: to atone for all
by securing to ino a fortuno vast beyoiu
computation?
These questions crowded to my lips, Tho
awe, tho marvel, the mystery of what was
passing confounded mo, Sly only proof o
tho reality of nil was the crackling of tlio
paper I gr.npod iu my hand, That was ical
that and tho cabinet from which I had taken
it. I'os; and hark I Tho great bell of St
Paul's win chiming, ilc.il enough, that,

As tho last echo died away, I glanced
again at tho will. In tho net of doing so.
nnd stooping my head for tho purpose.
suddenly fell heavily forward with n crash
ing sound in my ears, A blow had been
dealt from behind by nn unseen hnnd, nnd
under the force of it I dropped bleeding and
senseless.
Slore than a week had elapsed before the
sonso nf life returned to mc. I was in my
own bed, and Hridgct's kindly face was
bending over mc. l'ain racked my brow,
and I was conscious of having suffered in
tensely, it was some llmo beforo I win
permitted to ak questions, or to reccivo in
formation as to what had happened. At
length Hridgct gratified my curiosity to an
extent.
She informed me that my patron, Itodney
datintlctt, had died on tho night to which I
have alluded, at tbrco minutes to two, as
nearly ns Hridgct could calculate, she being
then the only person In tho home except
myself, Her rea.-on for fixing the hour was,
tiiat at three minutes to two tho time at
which tho house clock gave "warning" she
being startled by a strimgo noi.-c, had gone
into his room only lo find him dead in his
chair. While there, a "sound overhead ap
prised her of my fall, nnd at tlio same
moment St. Haul's struck two. On rushing
up stairs, sho had found mo on tho floor
where I had fallen, as she suppocd iu hur
rying to tho sick man's aid, and with the
back of my head bleeding.
1 kept my own cotnucl. I said nothing
tn Hridgct; nothing to tlio Doctor when he
came, hi the mean time I formed this furth
er resolution I would say nothing unless my
inipiessions received some confirmation
through subsequent events. One such con
firmation they did receive it was a very
startling one. When Kodncy Gauntlett's
will came to bo read, it was found that his
fortune exceeded all belief. Ho had been
money-grubbing and speculating all his life,
but no one suspected that he had died worth
three millions of money! His will dis
closed that fact for the first time. When I
heard the words I fainted. Here was a cor
roboration of what f had discovered in my
dream, or whatever it was, s strong that it
utterly oicrpotvered me. Unless I had read
it in tho paper f took from tlio Japanese
cabinet, how could I have thought of that
sum? Such a thing was beyond coinci
dence, and when I camo to myself, I ea
gerly demanded a sight of tlio will. It was
handed to me, and onu glance dispelled all
my illusions. It was not written on the
paper I had seen, and it contained no men
tion of my lclationdiip to the testator. Sly
name was there, but only for an annuity of
three hundred pounds for life. Tho bulk of
the vast fortuno was left in other ways, a
very large slice falling to the share of the
man I detested and had rejected, Hugh
Dinndaic.
Time passed on. 1 had quilted the old
house. All I have related had become a
thing of memory. Hridgct was dead. Hugh
Dimsdalc had gone 1 know not where to
the Indies I had lieard,but neither knew nor
cared. 1 was iccciving my annuity, nnd
enjoying a simple country life, over which
the shadows of tho past fell lightly, In the
irocc.-s of time I had almost persuaded my
self out of the reality of what I had long
held as tlio mystery of my life.
Ono winter evening an adventure occurred
to me.
I was returning homo from a long walk.
Tired and anxious to reach my cottage be
foro dark, 1 took a short cut through tho
field adjoining a farm. I u the field were
several stacks of hay and corn, and as I
passed these I saw that a group of persons
evidently from tho farm itself, were bending
over some object lying on the ground. Sly
curiosity was aroused. I quitted tho path,
and went toward them. As they moved
aside on my drawing near, I saw that it was
a man who was tlio object of their attention
a squalid man iu the garti of a beggar.
Ho was ill, haggard, starving yet 1 could
not mistake that face.
"Hugh Dimsdalc !" I exclaimed aloud
Ho shuddered as lie lay, then looked up
feebly, shading bis eyes with a tremulous
hand. With that hand he then beckoned n e
to his side. Too weak to speak aloud, it
as only by thawing my car towards his
mouth that he could make mo understand
what he had to say. It took this form :
"Julia Gauiitlctt for that is your true.
ght name I robbed you of nil, I did it.
es, yes ; no need to hide it now. I knew
i.tuntlctt's hut will was hidden in that cab
inet knew it from tlio first; knew its pur
port and strove to mako you mine in con-e-
pience. Had you consented, we should hvvo
bared tho old man's millions you and I.
You rejected me.and I had recourse to other
meant to get the later will destroyed, so
that I might benefit by a former one under
which I win entitled. I was iu the homo
when ho died, his life shoitened by my
means. I a-aed from ids loom lo yours when
I made sure of tho old will which gavo ino
so much. I came upon you in jou read the
will, iu which ho hud acknowledged you in
his child, and lelt you aU. It was 1 who I
truck you down and secured that paper.
1 swear to you that this is tlio truth.
Hut tell me," I cried, "what do you
know of my father's motive iu disowning me
0, mv mother
"Nothing."
"And this other will?"
"Destroyed. Consumed iu tho flames.
Tlio fortuno can never bo yours,"
Thcv were his lint words, spoken with his
otill'euing lips, and they weio true. With
out tlio will it was impossible for mo to gain
ouo penny more of my father's princely for
tuno than I now enjoy. Tho wealth ho had
Icsigned as a recompense for the wrong ho
had done me Heaven nlono knows why
had flowed into oilier channels, and could
never bo recovered. 1 had held the right to
it for threo minutes only, from the moment
of bis death that In which he had appeared
to uio until tho villain's hand snatched it
away. Unly lur threo minutes out ol a
whole lifetime ; but during that space my
income exceeded that of any potentate In
tho world. It win at tlio rate of a million a
minute.
"Yon have a plemaut homo and a bright
fireside, with happy children Hitting around
it, haven't you?" said tho Judge. "Yes, sir,"
aid Mr. Tompsoii.who thought hosawawiiy
out of dilllcully. 'Well," said tho Judge
"if the happy children sit around tlio cheer
fill fireside until you return, they will stay
there jmt fortythreo days, in I shall send
you upfor that time."
Ouo of the saddest things about human
nature is, that a man may guido others lu
tho path of llfo without walking iu it him
self; that ho may bo a pilot and yet a cat
tvwfty,
The Detroit Way.
It wn tho second time ho had accompan
ied the young lady homo from one of those
thoo little social parlies which are gotten up
to bring fond hearts a step nearer to each
other.
When they reached tho gate sho a-ked
him if lie wouldn't come In. Ho said lie
would, and he followed her into tlio house.
"It was n calm, still night," and the hour
win so lato ho had no fear of seeing tho old
folks. Sarah look his hat, told him to sit
down, and left tho room to lay olf her tilings.
Sho was hardly gone beforo her mother came
in, and dropping down beside the young
man she said :
"I always did say that if a poor but re
spectable young man fell in love with Sarah
ho would have my consent. Somo mothers
would sacrifice their daughter's happiness
for riches, but I am not of that class."
The young man gave n start of alarm.
He didn't know whether ho liked Sarah or
not, and he hadn't dreamed of such n thing
as m.nriage.
"Sho lias acknowledged to mo that she.
loves you," continued the mother, "and what
ever is for her happiness is for inino."
The young man gavo two starts this time,
and he felt his cheeks grow palo.
"I I haven't', ho stammered, when she
said :
"Oil, never mind, I know you haven't
much money, but of course you'll live, with
me. We'll take in boarders, and I'll risk
but that wo'll get along all right."
It was a bad situation. Hadn't even look
ed love at Sarah, and he felt that be ought
to undeceive the mother.
