a piece of window glass over the mat and
picture, holding it in place on either side
with a band of ribbon passed quite

"But, my dear grandson," said old Roger
Loomis from the couch by the window,
from which he was uever to rise, "I distrust
tho blood. I remember this young lady's
mother and grandmother; cold, Selfish
women both of them. Then there was
Stephen Phibbt), who was a boy with me.

"Oh," cried Bgbsjtt passionately, "how
cruel, how unjust, is such logic! Is not
every soul free and independent!1 What
has Frances to do with her people, or her
people with Frances? She is herself, thank
Uod, and through God, lur Divinity only
could fashion so innocent, so gentle, so
charming a creature. As for the Phibbs
family, it has always been considered re
spectable at least.''
"Ah, t here is a remorseless, fixed respecta
bility far more to be feared than u score of
failures from weakness, Vou can't escape
from heredity, Egbert; it is bred in the

original thought permeates it. I have never

equal rivals may own a leader! It is the
soft glow of purity, and there is benedic

"1 thought so. All their Women have had
it. An inherited twist of the muscles. We
used to call it the 'prosperous smirk.' 1

"Oh, sir, desist for the sake of my love!"
"Pool Egbert. Vou are between two Ores,

old Roger Loomis lay propped by the
pillows on the broad couch by the window
looking out on the hedge lined garden,
which ran down to the river. On that turf
be had sported as a child. Through those
winding paths he had strolled iu early man
hood, arm and arm With one whose memory
was now as bitter s her presence had then
besn gracious, In this great house of the
Loomis family hu had dwelt throughout
harvest and winter, maintaining a famous
hospitality, achieving respect if not love,
and the honors which position, wealth and
learning may bring. Hut thesacred hearth
of home bod remained gloomy and cold.
Here he had seen his only sou re-enacting
the griefs of his father, a noble youth ad
vancing into u noble manhood, until the
cling of soft arms had become u restraining
clog. Here he had watched the successive
mutations, coldness, recrimination, un hap
piness, despair, as one may view a revisited
landscape.
Here he had been left iiWme. for his
strength had not descended and death had
snapped the chain of similitude alone,
save for his little grandsSn. Ah, what u
mighty exception I The light of that child's
nature hail dispersed sorrow and brought
contentment, in him his pride and affec
tion had found responding recompenses.
Nsver had Egbert disappointed him. Never
had he given the lie to that ideal of manli
ness and honor which had become his like
ness. How the old man loved him and
prayetl for his future! How he would fain
mark the pitfalls, that they might be avoid
edl And how Judgment ihjrided this anx
iety fend exposal its Impottnof) But the
day previous he had been willing to die, as
indeed he knew he must, for he had felt that
DatUre and discipline had cleared the path
for his darling, but now, even in this resig
nation, had come the young man's ingenu
ous confession of passion for one whose as
sociations he drafted and despised, and out
from the forgetfulne-iof the past straight
way rushed agonies gibing tit his extrem
ity and their own undiminished powers.
"Ah, well," llghed old Roger Loomis,
"it is hard to kick against the pricks. He
must Win by struggling.''
Yes, such was the condition of man's rise
from the tsl I , that nsvs? dying, ever extend-
ing mysterious sin, but was it necessary
that toil experience should come s.o late
that ere the clouds had rolled away the sun
had set? Let him consider! He had h:-cn
renowned as an adviser, one who could
ca jole circumstances and win their favor.
Ought not his fuiling powers now sufllc:: to
protect his very and only own! Yet what
could he dot Under no consideration
would he disinherit or restrict tho inheri
tance of tho last of his race. Ho was en
titled by birth and character to take it, and
lake it he should. Hut might hu not seem
to do that which he would not? Might not
this sweetly speaking, sweetly smiling
maid be led to suppose that her lover was
not the heir, but as poor as the poore t
Whom she surely despised! Would Dot
then her voice grow shrill and scornful,
would not her beaming features harden into
refusal?
"Let me see," soliloquized old Itoger
Loomis. "It's dangerous, yet what worthy
play hath npt its hazard? I am certain of
thu statute. Why, I argued for its ret en-
tion bofori the council of revision. Hut I
might die immediately after the execution.
No, 1 know my strength; It wilMnst me
for at least another month. What victory
could ever bo won if fear of death were
heeded? I will tell Btirgess that if I don't
send It to him in a w eek's time that, Will
be a sign that I have surely destroyed it.
Hut Egbert? Will he hesitate? Not for
Due instant! Would 1 have hesitated;
Thank (Jod, in honor my boy cannot be
taught by experience!"
The next morning old Roger Loomis sent
a note to his luwyw, Abel Burgess, and
during the afternoon in response that wor
thy man called. For mi hour hu remained

in consultation. For an hour he sat ut the
desk and wrote, and his client watched the
glide of the silver river and prayed that
thus might his purpose speefl to its goal.
Then tlsl butler and the gardener were sum
moned, and with Unaccustomed fingers at
tached their signatures.
The lawyer prepared to take his depar
ture with many a muttered "humph'1 and
shrug of shoulder.
"I see you don't like it, Burgess," said old
Roger Loomis. "The sentiment does you
honor, but 1 have my reasons. Preserve
the will 1 made a year since, and If you
don't receive this one from mo within a
week offer that one for probate, for you
may then be sure that I have changed my
mind and applied the match."
"(.'hanged your notion rather," growled
the lawyer. "There it is, and I hope ir
soon may burn for a fantastical piece of
d d nonsense. It's a sin to trifle with
the law. But there, 1 never offer my ad
vice unsought least of all to one so obsti
Date as you, Goodby."
"Goodby, old Prickly Pear," said his cli
ent, smiling whimsically.
It was a fortnight Inter that old Roger
Loomis called Egbert to his bedside. "Vou
are going to be married, of course, my
dear?" he said feebly. "Alter I'm gon
after I'm gona God grant that my fore
bodings are foolish. I'll forbode no more.
One request I make. Take this sealed
package. A month before your wedding
open it, examine the contents and act.
You buve confidence In me you believe in
my love?"
' Though you fIuv me, yet will I trust In
you," responded Egbert simply. "I will do
us you wish."
"The Lord make bis face to shine on you,
my boy," faltered tho old man. "1 think 1
may sleep now. 1 am weary."
Ah, tranquil slumber, thut rewards and
relieves the Weariness of yesrsl Ah, blessed
calm, that preceded and cannot coexist
with light!
Aftei the Acad had been yielded to the
pence of the gravo Abel BttlgSfeJ produced
the will made the previous year as the last
will and testament of Huger Loomis, de
ceased. As such it wan at once admitted to
probate, for it fnllllled general expecta
tions, and Egbert Loomis became t he owner
of the vast estate of his grandfather. How
hfippy was Egbert I He remembered the
kind old man too tenderly to mourn for
him, for he knew that never hnd curfew
come more gratefully to tired laborer than
had death to Roger Loomis.
Ho was happy iu the ofetM of Ids prop,
erty, happy, oh, so happy In bis love. And
Indeed melancholy would have been that
nature that did not lighten from const ant
association with Frances Phibhs, for she
was as blithe as the sunshine. And like
the sunshine rhe was blithe, for It hath no
hope beyond existence. Her ambition, if
she was ambitious, was fully satisfied. She
was beloved, and he, who worshiped her as
his goddess was thot nost gallant, the most
talented, the richest youtig man of Aber
deen. From his position she could look
about her with superiority, for for below she
would discern the struggling throng of kin
dred, friends, acquaintances aud Strangers,
Aud so the golden days outstretched and
formed links of weeks and coils of mont h ..
and the time came when Egbert, looking
forward with fond anticipation, murmured
to hitnuelf, "A month from now and Fran
ces will be my wife."
He was seated, as he Spoke his thought,
before the glowing hearth lu his grand
father's great room, watching the Hashes
t brougb t he curls of smoke, aud from them
conjuring views ol felicity. It was late at
niL'jit , and the v hole house was silent, save
for the vain buffeting of the storm with
out, not vain, indeed, since it intensified
comfort by its contrast. liven us Kgbert
spoke, he looked toward the couch by the
window and seemed to see the gaunt old
man again extending u sealed package and
to hear his words, "A month before your
Wedding day open it, examine the contents
and act.
When his grandfather had thus spoken
Egbert had received the admonition, as he
always had. implicitly. What it meant of
course he did not know, but some good
Sowing from that p-renninl fountain of
benelicence. He had scarcely thought of it
since and then only with a tender smile, as
one recalls a kindness. But now the room
seemed chill, the lire on the hearthstone
spent, and a dread shook his heart. Such
Is the frailty of mortal felicity. When
through patient toil it hath been construct
ed, then comes apprehension lest the Weight
of the coping stone shall o'ertopple it.
Egbert went to the desk and brought
forth the package. He bore it to the drop
light and broke the seals. He unfolded t he
w rapper and discovered a legal document.
It was indorsed the "Last Will and Testa
ment of Roger Loomis" and dated a fort
night previous to his grandfather's death.
He read the contents. They Were terse and
significant. The testator abrogated all oth
er wills aud devised his entire estate to the
the Abardetn Benevolent fraternity, of
which branch he had bcenoucof thecharter
members.
Once more revery in the great armchair
beforo the capacious hearth; but, oh, how
faint the glimmer of the sparks, and, oh,
how penetrating the t ingle of the blast from
wlthoutl Egbert never questioned, never
doubted; he comprclieuueu at once wnat
had been done and he faced his future. Gone
were the joyous anticipations, covered with
dead gray abh that smiling vision of love
liussa with passion lit eyes and white arms
extended. He saw a Ufa of drudgery, of
privation, of loneliness. Neverdld imagina
tion daro to link Frances with it. That
judgment w hose voice had la-en unheard in
prosperity now assured him that she was
us foreign to such a condition as a lark to
the gloomy w ladings of a cavern.
There is a consolation in that despair
which comes from Inability to do wrong.
It stifles thought nud convince one of one's
position as absolutely as co;ild bands of
stl el. by should the prisoner In a tread
mill dream of green fields? Why should
the wrecked mariner sinking In midocean
recall pictures of home? Egbert soon be
came conscioasthat he was cold and weary.
He hastened to bid, and sleep, that cher-it-ber
of the unfortunate, composed and
caressed his limbs.
The next morning, an hour before the
opening of court, little Mr. Phibbs, the sur
rogate of Aberdeen county, sat within his
private office rending the paper through
sparkling spectacles und amid coruscating
smiles. The dooropeued, andEghert Loomis
entered.
"My dear fellow," cried the lawyer,
springing to his feet, "I am charmed to
have you break in on my leisure. That's
right. Make yourself comfortable. Have
a cigar? It is pleasant to desifere in loco,
eh? Well, how is everything? How is the
fascinating Frances? Ah, you lucky dog,
you will be one of us soon."
"I desire to see you iu your official capac
ity, Mr. Surrogate," said Egbert stiffly
(why is rectitude always a clown und ras
cality u courtier!-), "and to file with you
this document." .
"Eh? What' this? The lust will and
testament, of Roger Loouus, made only a
few dayi before Ids deuth? Why. the old
man must have beeu daft. Everything to
the Aberdeen Benevolent fraternity? Pre
posterous! Let me see: a oharitablo devise
within less than a month of the testator's
death? Oh, ho! Where d!4 you get this,
Egbert?"
"Grandfather left a package in my
charge, and I only examined it last night."
"Aud brought it to court at the first pos
sible moment! I salute you. I had sup
posed that the one perfect man had been
translated some time since. Well, no
great harm, I guess. Whom have you told
about this?"
"No one. I went to see Mr. Burgess, but
lie is out of town. After all, 1 do not need
advice."
"No? And w hat about Prances?"
"Ah, Frances I I have not the heart to
see her. I shall write to her today."
"And givo back the heart you have taken
and all that folderol, eh? Mark my words,
young man, you can't shake e ll a Pbibbs so
easily. Fidelity is a family characteristic,
sir. But write; it will serve to make you
better acquainted with your future wife.
Now, na for this document, it's u will of
course, and as such must b? respected, but
well, I won't say. I'll have my say later. '
You would best taku it to the president of i
the corporate board and let him act, as he I
will speedily. Don t be disheartened, my
boy; ao write your letter and count your
blessings."
"And now," muttered the astute Mr.
Phibbs, after he hud called his clerk and
informed him to hold all business pending
un important half hour engagement, "now
to see my fan- niece. Ah, Frances, that
pretty head of yours is about as level as
they make them; but, for all that, if it were
not for your devoted nuclei fear you would
this day bite off the daintiest little nose iu
Aberdeen.!'
That evening after a solitary dinner Fg
bert sat iu melancholy thought over his
coffee and cigar. How leuious was life a

that the hyperboreans were the mast virtu

eyes. But w hy no, lie would not ask it
He would reverence the memory as he had

There was a glide, a silken rustle, and
Francei Phibbs sunk sobbing at his knees.
"Oh, dearest!" she cried, "this is no time
for conventionality, Oh. your cruel, cruel
letter! How could you wrong your faith-I
fill Frances so!- Never shall you leave me; I

constancy. Wherever t hou gout 1 shall go,
and thy God shall be my God!"
The day ame for the hearing of the mo
tion for the revocation of probate of Roger
Loomis1 will before Mr. Surrogate Phibbs,
Egbert was present, sitting at one side,
calm and Indifferent S0 were the presi
dent of the Aberdeen Benevolent fraternity,
expansive and hopeful, and his attorney,
.lames Wallace, Esq., dubious and silent.
There were but lew in attendance, for little
Mr. Phibbt had a way of keeping matters
KCTet which he wished to be secret, whili,
at tho same time he won frequent encomi
ums from the press for information courte
OUaly furnished.
"You do not appear by counsel, I believe,
Mr. Loomis," he said when the case was
called.
"No, your honor," replied Egbert, "I do
not H ih to oiler any opposition."
"I think you may sufely trust the court
to protect your interests. Now, then, geu
tlemen." The will contained in thesealed package
was produced, and the butler and garden
er, with many a precatory glance toward
tbelr young master, testified to its execu
tion. James Wallace, Esq., read its pro
visions fur the information of the court,
and apparent ly to some effect , for that smil
ing and sparkling personage interrupted as
follows:
"But, Brother Wallace, we have proof
here of the date of the death of the testator,
and it now appears that this document pro
pounded was executed only a fortnight
prior to bh death. It la hardly necessary
for me to remind you that such a charitable
devbe, under the stutute, is void agaiust
th. natural heir."
"1 think I can show, may it please jour
honor, that we are clearly within the rule
as laid down by Mr. Justice Jackson iu
'Knox versus Knox.' reported."
"No, no," again interrupted the little
judge. "I can hardly agree with you there.
I think I most deny your motion and bold
thut the probate of the will first ottered
shull stand. Possibly the supreme court
may put me in error, but I doubt It, Broth
er Wallace, I doubt 't axceedingly,"
But Brother Wallace was fi r too erudite
a lawyer to tempt the supreme court
iittalust his own private convictions, and
the Aberdeen Benevolent fraternity was
forced to continue Its benefactions without
the aiil of the Loomis estate.
"1 wonder why grandfather made it?"
conjectured Egbert on his wedding day to
his old friend Abel Burges. "lie must
have known of its invalidity."
"Perhaps he hoped to prove to y,ai the
vanity ol huniau wishes," said the lawyer
indefinitely,
"Bear old man! If he know, he is as
happy today as I am." New York Times.

Physicians Use, Prescrlba, Recom
mend Paine's Celery Compound.
More words of praisn have been writ
ten and spoken by well known mn and
wi men iu every section of tho country
witbiu the past few years for the fa
mous compound first prescribed by
Prof Phelps of Dartmouth college than
Imvebeen bestowed upon all other re
mo lies put together.
More physicians in high standing are
using, presdiibing aud recommending
Paine's celery compound than any
othsr prepared remedy in tbe world.
More space is devoted in many a
medical journal to tho wonderful cures
Paines colery compound effects that to
any other one subject.
Puine's eelt-ry compound is pre emi
nently the remedy that iuaks people
well.
W.Allen Hubbard, M. D , 70 West
( Vdur street, is one ef Boston's best
physicians. He says what hundreds of
other physicians have said before, and
his experience adds one more to the
iiundreds already published, that
Paine's celery compound is unduntedly
the highest prodnct of the medical
knowledge of this century.
"The formnln of Paine's celery com
pound, "he saTS. "interested mi because
of its sci- ntific valne, and 1 prescribed
the remedy in a number of cases where
the Hood was impoverished and the
nerves werkened. The results were so
tatitfactory that I do not hesitate to
indorse Paine's celery compound as a
most valuable remedy."
J. H. Hanaford, M. D., whose writ
ings in journals of national Circulation
have ondeared him to thousands, lies
said: The formula of Paine's celery
comnound which was submitted to me
was so satisfactory that 1 have used the
medicine personally, and with much
benefit. I hsve prescribed it with mojt
excellent results."
The well known Boston physician
and surgeon, Dr. A. W. K. Newton,
whose portrait is given a,bove, states
very emphatically tbat this compound
is the most reliable touio and strength
giver he hat found for the peculiar and
dangerous codltion of the system that
follows the grip. "Paine's celery eom
pound," he writes, "is now a patent
medicine, and it must not be oonfound
ed with the ordinnry nervines, bitten
or ssrsan irillas it is js -. ,..,,.
; ior to them in formula and results as
tho diamond is superior to glass. It
! purifies the blood, strengthens the ner
ves, ana is natures tooa for the brain.
"1 had some trouble myseif," he
writes, "from blood poisoning, received
in a very delicate surgical operation.
The formula of Paine's celery com
pound led tue to try it, and I was much
pleased with the result. 1 prescribe it
for men and women who have no ap
petite, cannot sleep, and are weak and
run down. For this condition, and for
disorders of the bloc 1 and nerves.it has
no equal.
"Whoa a man or woman has lost
appetite, lost sleep, and fenls that life
is a burden, that person is in a serious
condition. I prescribe Paine's celery
compound for my patients who have
these common and dangnrous symp
toms; with invariably satisfactory re
sults. " It is the best possible remedy
to keep up one's strength during the
winter months.
