LAWYER NOUTHimOOKE had just driven away from Ulenthorne, and K.,n'.i"th Everill stood still a momeut 1 1 A . ,1 f . 1 on tne urouu lerructr, ami uivu, wita a ,iph, turned and entered the house. )r.ly Hint dny her mint. Miss Matilda I'luirtie, hnd been buried, and Sir. Northbrooke had come down from Lon don to rend the dead woman's will. It wag simple enough, and those who had Vnown Miss Thome intimately hardly wondered at its wording: "To my niece, Elizabeth Everill, pro ided she marry a mnn of title, I will and bequeath all my worldly, posses sions." "And if I do not marry?" Miss Ever 11 had asked. "You retuin your inheritance," the (lawyer answered, with a smile. "Miss Thorpe drew up the will herself, and it it deficient on that point." Elizabeth's mother, Miss Thome's sister, had run off with l'aul Everill, hhe organist of the church, before she twas 18. Her futher had forbidden her pame to be mentioned in his hearing, and at his death Glcnthome had rpassed to Matilda unconditionally. She had held no communication with the murried sister till she read in a newspaper of the death of l'aul Ever ill, and then she- hod paid one visit to the dismal London lodging1 where Mrs. Ereriil lay dying. There hod Jicvor been much love between the sisters, hut Miss Thorne was willing to take ther bister's daughter under her care. So, when the organist s Wife was laid beside him. their onlv daughter had been brought to her mother's home. piasters and governesses had been em ployed to perfect her education, and her aunt had never wearied of instill ing a love of wealth and power and a horror of poverty into the girl's mind. That her words had not fallen on bar ren ground she would have under stood could she have known her niece's thoughts that evening. she was thinklnc- of a scene that had taken place there just five years before. Some old paintings had been sadly In netd of the attention that only a Willful hand could give, - and Miss 1'borue had heard Ralph Crosby fiuor bly spoken of, and had asked him to io the work. Elizabeth had been much in the long portrait gallery ivhile Kalpb Crosby talked and point !d, and at length he had forgotten :hat he was only a struggling artist nd the the niece ot the wealthiest vonian in the county and had spoken ills love. Miss Everill could still re uesnber the haughty stare and mock ng smile of her aunt when she spoke if her love for Kalpb. "Love I Your mother loved Paul Everill, I suppose, and you know some thing of her life. But make your own choice. Marry this young man if you "ill, but not one farthing of mine will yours." And the girl hod lain awake till day Itfeak thinking1 of the sordid sur roundings amid which her childhood had been passed, and of the poverty (or which she hud such a horror, till t lost she was resolved to answer "Jlo" to her lover's pleading1. She wlneed even now a she re called the grief that struggled with contemptuous pity for ber reasoning when she told him the next day that 'he could not be a poor nan's wife, Md remembered the few bitter ward that feU from his lips as he turned away without seeming to see her e-wt-itretched hand. In the lost few days he had thought once or twice, to a vague way, that If Glenthorn should chance to be hers she would find' a way of letting him know that she fovea him still, that she bad loved mm Jwajw. And now and now." she said to herself, while the shadows grew deep er m the corners of the wide library, aa insurmountable barrier divides ." She clasped ber bands tightly nd, with, eyes that were dimmed by tears, gazed into the glowing embers. "Oh, Aunt Matilda, your very kindness ia but cruelty. I wonder where Ralph sow? Oh, I almost wish I were a Por girl to-day. And yet, no 1 ouldnH bear that!" And the latter reflection was con stantly passing through the girl's mind as time wore on. It was very pleasant to be mistress ot the great e nna to hnve monev at cnnrran.rt i Miss Thome's Will ! I ttMIIMM Under her rule Qlr-nthorno became a very pleasant place indeed; mid be fore the year was ended it was whis pered that Lord Arthur Kendal was very much in love with her. Elizabeth heard lialph Crosby's rinnio mentioned severul times later, wheu slio went to London, lie was ticcupied upon a work that was to make a nutno for him, some said. Oth ers hinted flint ho was ill; and Mia Everill wnnrlprpil Hint. lirr h.nrf should bent so (prickly at the sound of ' his name. Slio had resolved to accept L6rd Arthur, lie was rich much richer than she nnd quite at the top ot the social ladder. Certainly she did not love him; ho was hardly a man whom any woman could respect. Anyhow, she did not respect him, nnd yet sho would marry him. They were uncongenial spirits, she knew, but what of that? In such a mood she was going one night to a great ball given by one of tho most fashionable women In Lon don. Lord Arthur would bo there, and probably she would say "Yes" to his pleadings that nig lit, She rather thought she would as she stood before a mirror when her maid had given the finishing touches to her toilet. She had on a white dress, and pearls were, on her neck nnd nmid her dusky hair; she was radiantly beautiful. "Six years ago!" sho muttered. '"Six years and more since the dav llalpli Crosby said " She turned away. Now inul again a feeling came over her that she could not understand a feeling that her wealth and her beauty were not tc bring her huppiness; and she had grown inipntient with herself for feel ing so. Generally at such times slit was even guyer than usual, and when some hours later, Lord Arthur sat bj her side In a convenient recess in Lady Javcnell's conservatory, he felt that he could almost die for her. There was something iu her beauty that night a sadness in the dark eyes behind theii mirth that he could not understand. "Elizabeth," he whisppred,' "say 'Yes!'" and just then the sound oi voices readied them. 1 "And Crosby, the artist, you know, is blind." "lllind!" "Quite. lie consulted Reynolds yes terday, his case is hopeless." ; "l'oor begggarl What will he do?" "I don't know. He hasn't a penny J He has never steadied himself to work for years. Somebody told me of a girl who jilted him, or something." Miss Everill rose. "Lord Arthur, I hope you will nevei speak to me like this again!" Lord Arthur bowed. He knew that further pleading would be useless. Very early on the following morning Miss Everill's carriage stopped at Ralph Crosby's chambers, and Eliza' betb. was informed that he was at ' home. She gave no nume, but entered the room where he was. "Ralph!" It wu a voice that be had not heard for six long years, but he recognized it at once, and turned his sightless eyes toward her. "Elizabeth I" be cried, rapturously, opening his arms, and in an instant she was folded in them. "But you must not, Elizabeth," be said later "you must not sacrifice all for me," "It is no sacrifice," she replied, com posedly; "but I am dreadfully afraid that I had to ask you to marry me! 1 wonder what Mr. Northbrooke will say when he hears of this?" and she laughed. "What fools women are!" was what the old lawyer said on being apprised of It, and he drew a large envelope from among a number of papers that were in a large box before him. It was addressed in Miss Thome's very masculine caligraphy, to himself, and written- in one corner were the words: "To be opened in the event of my niece's murriage." Inside was a will, properly signed and witnessed, and th old lawyer's face cleured as he glanced at it. There was also an open letter addressed to Miss Everill. "If you have sold yourself, my niece, take the price of your slavery. If you have been honest enough to marry for love, take your reward. In either case Clenthorne is yours." "Heaven bless me!" the lawyer ex claimed, "Heaven blessme! There'sno understanding a woman! I'm heartily glad, anyhow; and now I must go and tell these two that they won't be beg gars after all." Chicago Herald. Lucldt A fomous verdict rendered many years ago by a coroner's jury in a case of mysterious death ran thus: "We, the jury of 12 good men and true, duly impaneled and responsible . on our consciences, do hereby return the following verdict on the demise of the deceased, namely: That said: corpse came to its death through the abrupt ceasing of his heart to perform its natural ollice, for no reasou whatever dlscernable by man, but solely an act of Providence." If this was not? alto gether explicit, at least the publlo Rnew that there had been no foul playj but what meaning could poBsl bly be attached to the verdict wbich a legal magazine assures u was ren dered, much more recently, by a Mis souri court? "We, the jury impan eled, sworn and charged to inquire into the insanguinity of Ilezeklah Jones, do occur in the affirmative." This leaves the matter UU sJuroudea in mvstery. Was Hezeklah, dead, an ensanguined corpse? Was he, living, accused of homicide, or merely of in sanity?

"Can eats swim?" wns asked of an old Rslieriiiiin, according to a New York exchange. "Why, certainly," was the reply,"nnd Unit reminds me of a eat that 1 once tried to drown that swam nshore. Surely there must have been hundreds I tr thousands of people who hnve drowned cats In the same way, btitnev- rrthcless this was nn experience of my 1 own. We had n cat that we wanted to get rid of, nnd as lutmnne n way ns any to kill It was by drowning. So 1 put a couple of bricks in the hot torn of an old grnin sack, and put In the cat, and tied the bag up carefully nnd securely and walked down to the end of a big wharf and stood there and swung the bng with the eat and the bricks In It round like a sling until I could give it a good momentum and then let It go, and slung it out to full and sink In the wa ter, 1 should say 20 feet away. "I supposed, of course, that thnt was the last of the cat, but the next morn ing the first thing I saw when 1 went out of the house was the cat sitting on the veranda. "I suppose the bng had a weak spot In It somewhere, the bricks were heavy arid shnrp-eorncred and swinging the bug round thnt way started it more, nnd t lib eat was despernte; and with the bHg thnt way it scratched and tore its way out and got to the wharf nnd clawed its way up nnd came ashore. "Can a cat swim? Why, sure!" YOUR PROPER WEIGHT. Prof. Hosier Telia How the Normal Mnn'e Avolrdnpol Should He Dlatrlbuteil. Prof. Huxley gave the following table of what a full-grown man should weigh, and how li ia weight should be divided : Weight, 154 pounds, made up thus: Muscles nnd their nppurtenunces, OS pounds; skeleton, 24 pounds; skin, 10 pounds; fat, 28 pounds; brain, 3 pounds; thoracic viscera, 3 pounds; blood which would drnin from body, 7 pounds. This man ought to consume per diem: Lean beefsteak, 3,000 gralus; bread, 6,1)00 grains; milk 7,000 grains; potatoes, 3,000 grains; butter, 000 grains; water, 22,900 grains. His henrt should beat 75 time's a min ute, and he should breathe 15 times a minute. In 24 hours he would vitiate 1,750 cubic feet of pure nlr to the extent of 1 per cent.; a man, therefore, of the weight mentioned ought to have 800 feet of well ventilated space. He would throw off by the skin IS ouneeg 0f water, 300 grains of solid matter, and 400 grains of carbonic acid every 24 hours, and his total loss dur ing the 24 hours would be six pounds of water, and a little over two pounds of other matter. THE BIBLE FOR STYLE. Author of "Crnlse of the Cochelot" Tells Where He Learned to Write. Frank T. Ilullen, whose stories-of the sea have won him great fame, never had proper education. He was a poor boy, and his youth was spent in toil. Asked to what source he owed his pow er of writing, he answered: "The source of my 'style,' as you are pleased to term It, is the Dible. I began read ing that earlier than I can remember; I am 43 years of uge, 15 years of which I spent at sea, climbing up from cabin i boy to chief mate, and I have read tlve Rible through from cover to cover 25 times. You cannot quote me the first half of any verse but what I will be j able to give you the second half. Noth ing has taken bold of my heart and soul I like the Bible. I used to preach in the open air, and sometimes, when I felt I had no words of my own, I would re ' cite a whole chapter by memory from Isaiah or Job or one of the Gospels. The Bible and John Bunyon have really formed my style. Buthen there's the inspiration of the sea! What colors in sky and water! Dip your pen in those, and you can't fall to be picturesque and interesting." , A Typical Australian Tribe. Prof. Uailden read a paper on the customs and characteristics of a fairly typical tribe of Australia, the Yarl kanna, of Cape York, North Queena land. Among the peculiar customs noted was that children must take the "land" or "country" of their mother, that a wife must be taken from another country, and that all who belong to the same place are regarded as brothers and sisters. Six Yarlkanna men were measured, with average height five feet four inches. A lad was initiated by the men of the clan Into which he must subsequently marry. He was anointed with "bush, medicine" in the groin, chest and temples to make him grow. Drying; Linen In ItaJlooma. A Paris laundry has started a novelty in the drying and purifying of linen, and has succeeded in convincing most of its customers that the notion is a ffood one. The air about 100 feet above the house tops is particularly good for linen, say the proprietors, and they accordingly send for shirts and collars for a balloon trip. Bamboo frames are attached to a captive balloon, and the linen, "rouarh dry." is fixed to the- frames and sails away in the air. The balloon makes six ascents daily, and an extra charge Is made for each article that undergoes the treatment. Lara-eat Army Brer Used.
