Miss Barclay's Will.
BY S. ANNIE FROST.
"Thero vyas a will l'eav nrr vou this
house and twenty thousand dollars,"
said Meekum, looking down at tho sad
laco of Miss Mngdellna Barclay, who
stood lii'foro lilru. "I drew It up my
self. The remainder of tho property
was to go to your cousin, but it the will
can not be found, ho will inherit all un
der the previous ouo drawn uplieforn
you were bom. Dear dearl this
comes ot peoplo keeping valuable pa
pers in tneir own possession. liuw, it
your aunt had given me tho will, It
w.oiild have been forthcoming to-day.
Do ypu think she bould have destroy
ed.lt?" "I am siirp shn did not. She hid it.
She told mo so, some days ago, and
wiif ii mo last spasm came on trieu to
tell me where it was. But we have
searched the house, Hannah and my
self, and It cannot be found."
"H'm 1 What kind of man Is your
cousin, Mr. Stephen Barclay?"
"1 never saw him. lie has lived In
Now York all his life. I believe. I
ilon't think ho over came to see Aunt
Mary, certainly he has not been here
since sho guvo mo a home, six years
ago."
"Well, he will come to the funeral,
for lie telegraphed to that effect. Ho
will nave about fifty thousand dollars
under tho new will, and Dei liana
H'm" for the old lawyer, suddenly con
cluded that it might not be wise to raise
false bopes, Willie he was speaking,
the door bell rang, and there entered a
gentleman of about fifty, tall, Jank and
grim, with a face (is genial as cast-Iron.
"My namo is Barclay," ho said; "I
presume your am Mr. Meekum, tho
late miss uarclay a lawyer"
Mr. Meekum bowed, and tho strang
er, turning to Magdeline, fairly snarl
ed :
"And you are tho cook's daughter?"
"Slrl" cried the girl Indignantly.
"Oh, you need not put ou any airs to
met Your fatiier married his cook, and
Fhe made ducks and drakes of a tidy
fortune for him, and then died. He
died, too, which was the best thing ho
could do, aud his sister, who very
properly refused to associate with the
cook, took you up, out of charity. I
pretume sue lias leu you some money?
But Magdeline was too indignant to
answer, and Mr. Meekum explained
the state of affairs more than hinting
that It would bo a praise-worthy act for
the heir to carry out his aunt's inten
tions. "That would bo alokel" said Mr.
Barclay, savagely. "I present tho girl
with a fortune! She is nothing out a
pauperl Let her cook, as her mother
did, and perhaps sho can meet another
such fool as her father."
With her eves blazing and her cheeks
like! twlu roses, Magdeline marched out
of the room, every drop of her blood
Dolling at mo insults ouereu to uer
parents, Sho crossed tho hall tn the
kitchen, where Hannah was preparing
dinner, and weeping, with regular al
ternation in the employments.
"Hannah, Mr. Barclay has come,"
said Magdeline, shortly; "put on an
extra piate.
Then sho went to her own room and
had a gocd cry.
Sho was only eighteen, and sho had
loved her aunt dearly. Sho was en.
gaged to. be married to a young clerk
In a largo wholesale house, and sho had
Intended to use a part or her legacy to
buy him a partnership, while her home
was to be the house her aunt had will
ed her.
Now now this hateful cousin would
tak ail, and sho must work and wait
till Frank's salary could support two,
which it certainly could not do yet.
She wondered, when her angry tears
had subsided Into fitful ones, what work
she could do. Her aunt had kept her
busy reading to her, playing the plauo
for her, writing her letters, and had at
lowed her to attend the village semi
nary. But she had studied girl-fashion,
without any thought of making her
education a bread Winner. Sho could
sew pretty well, and could keep house.
"liut I uon't Know now loo cook,
even If I would," she thought, with her
anger rising again. "Auut Mary did
nut Intend I ehould live by menial
work. I wonder If my mother was a
cook. Nobody evei told mo so before I
Oh, we must llud tho will I"
But In vain sho raked her brains to
think of One nook or corner which sho
had Mi unexplored. Her aunt had
expressly told her that the will was con
cealed', (hough the motive for her se
crecy was never revealed, but where in
the sina'll house could It be hidden ?
Hanuah had searched faithfully, for
sho vas remembered also,uud live hun
dred dbllats was well worth a little
trouble. But tho will could not be
found'.
The next day tho funeral brought
friends from far and near, for Miss
Barclay had been greatly beloved, and
Magdeline, was offered rore than ono
homS, until sho decided what to' do.
Tho story oi tho lost will was pretty
widely spread, and Mr. Barclay knew
that ho was expected to do something
for his cousin.
But he was a hard man, one who'
had made money au object of positive
worship, and he had no Intention of
parting with ouo dollar. Already.be
had given Mr. Meekum orders to cell
the house and furniture for what they
would bring, aud announced his de
parture for the following day.
"Whero are you going," he asked
Magdeline, abruptly, a few frleudu
met lu Ihe parlor after llm funeral;
"You must bo out of here to-morrow,
for tbo place Isjo bo sotd."
"I shall riot prevent any of your ar
rangements," ,was tfao proud reply. "I
will pack my trunk now." , , ,
"Yes, nnd you may tako your aunt's
clothing. I havo no uso for au old wo
man,'s dresses. You canfe leave tho
Jewelry."
Stung to the heart, Magdellno left
the room, while Hannah followed her,
muttering wishes for tho heir's future
that were anytl)lng but blessings.
"You heed not get them out," said
Magduiiue, as tho old servant opened
SIlss Barclay's wardrobe. "I can re"
member my aunt without theni, and I
will accept nothing from my cousin."
"And to think it Is all your own!"
sobbed Hannah. "Everything In tho
house is for Miss Maedeline." she said
to mo many a tiinel And to.tliink there
is nothing for you! You'd better tako
the clothes; dearl See, somo of these
silks will stand alone, they're that
heavy, and here's tho wadded dressing
gown that she took off the day the last
bad spell camo on. Poor dearl Sho
clutched It that hard !n her hand I could
scarcely take It from tier, and trying
to speak all tho tlmel Better take that,
MJss.Mogdeline. Come, I'jl fold It for
you." As sho spoke, Hannah spread
tho handsome cashmere wrapper upon
the bed, and began to fold It carefully.
She had neatly , completed her task,
when an obstluato fold refused to lay.
over the. others smoothly, but jerked
back each time it was patted down.
"Wln.tever's in heie?" cried the old
woman.
"As stiff as a bit of leather ! All In
between the lining and outside It
won't fold any way I turn It, Hero's
a bit peeking out I It's paper I It's
Miss Magdeline Miss Magdeline I"
The shrill excited voice reached Mag.
dellne lu her own room adjoluIng,where
sho was busy packing her own posses-,
sions. She paused in her task, for
there was a strange ring of triumph In
tho old servant's voice.
"What is it, Hannah?" she asked,
comir.g to the door leading from one,
room to another.
"A paper sewed in your aunt's dress-,
ing gown I A paper all folded and stiff
as a card 1 Get tho scissors, honey,
quick I Who knows, yet ?"
It did not tako Magdellno long to find
the scissors, to rip carefully where Han
nah directed and find
Mr. Barclay,Jn tho meantime, bad
dismissed the few friends in tbe parlor,
and was giving Mr. Meekum explicit;
directions regarding the winding up ot
his aunt's property, the calling of vari
ous securities, tho disposal of cirtaln
bonds and stocks, and the sale of tbo
bouse.
"I shall never como here again,"
said the heir, in ills peculiar snarling,
voice ; "a wr&'tched holo, only fit for
an old woman. Thero are opportuni
ties to Invest the monoy my aunt left'
lu my own business,, and I will extend
them at once. You will, therefore,
turn everything Into money. Sell tho
house, and everything In it, even tho
match safes.",
'Not so fast, Mr. Barclay," said a
clear voice at the door, "the bouse la'
riot for sale I"
Mr. Meekum started to his feet and
advanced eagerly.
"You havo fouud the will?" ho
cried.
"Wo have .found the will I" cried
Magdeline, producing a folded parch
ment ; "and the cook's daughter pre.
fers to keep the bouse as lief aunt left
It I"
"H'm, yes 1" said Mr. Barclay, loft
Ily, hiding his cbagtfu valiantly, "it"
will make a very good kitchen ; 1 con
gratulate you, Miss Magdeline I Mr.,
Meekuin, you will find me at the
hotel."
And Mr. Meekum found him. to ex'
plain that a codicil was attached to tha
will, lu Miss Mary Barclay's own hand
writing, stating that, as her nephew,
Mr. Stephen Barclay, had systematical-,
ly neglppfeo her for twenty years, her
entiio estate should co whero she had
already willed her house and personal
property, namely, lo her tiioodeu niece,
Magdeline.
So the snarling voice was heard no
more In the village, for Mr. Barclay did
not accept the Invitation to hi cousin's'
wedding, nor present himself at tho re
ception, when, a yaaf later, she took
possession of tho property she Inherited
under her aunt's will, and became tho'
brldo of her faithful lover, Frank Wil
lis. Oforgo. JJutler, as represented by
the Wliinemucca Silver State, " yet
travels on his, commission at tho ex
pense of the Government, and manages
to keep 'full' all the time."
