It was certain, J.ibcz Hardy wa3 the ne.trest relative, and certain that Mis.

"It was a thtnue !" raid every one. "A cruel wicked thing 1" sobbed Mrs. Culvcrtou. And Mr. Culvertun, who had never ex pected a reverse, was quite crushed as the pending lawsuit piogrcssed. A thousand tines a day he said : "How providential it would be if uncle Hiram's will would turn up at this 1D0- meat "I wonder how he rest, poor man, with sach injustice going ou." I5ut uo matter what they said, or how they managed, uo will was found, aud Ja bcz rubbed his bauds iu triumph.
