OLD KILBORNE'S WILL.
. Old Walter Kilborno died, ami left
a fortune that aggregated nearly a
million. The gloomy old houso whitfi
had been the family residence for
many a year, stood in one of the down
town streets that hail once been the
site of the fashionable residence, of
New York city. But the wealthy had
long ago removed the avenues, leav
ing the perverse millionaire to hold
his own anion? "the irrowintf business
of the once aristocratic thoroughfare.
A bunch ot black crapo null hung on
the bell knob, four davs after the fune
ral, when a bent, wily looking man
nulled it. Iseiug admitted, lie was
shown into a dingy room which Mr,
Kilbome had in his mo used as an
office. This bent wily looking man
was Lawyer Whittemore.
"Good morning, said the lawyer,
as Robert, a grandchild of the dead
Millionaire, a young man who showed
plainly the marks of rough social us
acre, entered and extended his hand
rather listlessly. . . ..
"(Jood morning, was llio reply.
"Well?"
"Well?" echoed the lawyer.
"You eot my note?"
"Asking mo to meet you here?
Yes what do you want?"
"You drew my grandfather's will?"
"I did, two days betoro he died.
"What were its contents?"
"I have no right to tell you," and
Mr. Whittemore tried to look severe.
"It is with the surrogate now, and you
will kuow its contents on ihursday,
when it will be officially opened.
couldn't tliiuk of violating my official
' "Not unless you are pid for if,"
interrupted the voung man. "I un
dcrstond that perfectly well, and will
be plain and brief with you. As yo'i
are awre, myself and my cousin My
ra arc the only livinc; relatives of my
grandfather. We have been brought
up here in this houso together, and
each hntcs the other ns much ns possi
bio. Now, I've no idea how tho prop
erty is left, and I want to know. I am
willing to pay for tho knowledgo in
advanco of tho opening of tho will,
and you have it to sell."
The lawyer absented with a cool nod
of his head.
"Then name your price," coutinucd
Robert.
"Ono thousand dollars."
"I haven't so much."
"A note for a month will do."
The document was quickly written
out, signed by the young roan, and
transposed to the lawyer's pocket.
"The will," then said Mr. Witte
morc, "is a strange one as strange as
the man who made it but he would
iislen to no advice, and I had nothing
to do but carry out his withes. He
leaves nil his property to Myra Kil
borne."' ' "''
"D n him," hissed Robert.
"Hold," said the lawyer, "until you
hear the conditions, lie leaves all
his property to Myra, as I said before,
on conditiou that she shall immediate
ly sign an agreement to, within a year,
become your wife. If she shall decline
to fulfill this conditiou.tho property be
longs to you. The only other point is
that in case Myra marries any body
before the will is opened, she gets the
property the same as if she marries
you. But that provision, of course, is
of no consequence, as she ia not likely
to marry before day after to-morrow,
which will be the Thursday on which
the document is to be opened."
Here the lawyer stopped and looked
into his companion's face as if expect
ing an expression of displeasure, lie
was disappointed, however, for Robert
seemed rather satisfied than otherwise.
"It pleases me well enough," he
said, "for I half expected to be cut off
unconditionally. You see, I've been
rather fast, and the old man disliked
it, whilo Myra's gentle ways and at
tention to his wants won his regard,
She is completely bound un in her
lover, Harry Terton, who is hundrods
of miles away just now, and I dou't
believe she would give him up for the
fortune a dozen times over. Even if
she should consent to marry me, I
wouldn't b so badly off w ith the prop
erty almost under my control.
The lawyer here arose, bade his un
scrupulous patron good day, aud went
out. But as he did so, had his ears
been younger, ho might have caught
tho sound of rustling skirts enveloping
tho pretty form for Myra Kilbome,
who heard every word of the interview
by listening ax the coor.
"So, so," she to used when she had
reached her own room and thrown her
self into the chair, "Tin to buy tho
fortune by selling myself. I won't do
it. I would not give up Harry fur
fifty times a million. Robert can
take tho money, aud much good may
it do him."
Yet, notwithstanding her conclusive
uciaiou, Myra could not relinquish
wttliont a pang the foituao to which
bho had always livktd forward its her
ovmi certain puitiuu. . jlo grandfather
had always seemed to regard her with
affection, and she had not dreamed
that in his will he could impose such a
distasteful restriction.
If Harry was only here." she
thought, 'there would not be any
trouble, because we - would get mar
ried before Thursday. What shall
I do? I wish I had somebody to ad
vise me. And I can have a lawyer
is what I want. They are up to all
sorts ef -tricks, so they say."
Without' a momonts delay she
dressed herself for the street and went
out. She knew no lawyer, but walked
uutil she came to a building upon which
she had often noticed an array of
signs. Passing up stairs, and select
ing a name from the lot that chanced
to strike her most favorably, -' she en
tered a well furnished office ; a middle-aged
man sat alone writing at a
desk.
"Is Mr. Temple In?" asked Myra
"Yes," said the man, looking Bp at
his pretty visitor, and motioning her
to a seat, "that is my name.
"I have como for ome legal advice
some advice on a matter ot the
greatest importance to me, and "
"If I am to aid you," said tho law
ycr, kindly, "you must speak frankly
and unreservedly, which you may do
in the utmost confidence."
Thus encouraged, Myra told him
the whole story of the will, the man
ncr in which she obtained informa
tion, aud her feelings in the matter,
"Of course," she concluded,'"I want
to retain the fortune, but not at the
price stipulated in the will. Can you
help aie i
Mr. Temple sat for a while in deep
thought so long, in fact, that Myra
cot fid ret y with waiting. At last his
face brightened with an idea,' and h
at once imparted it to his fair client.
for an hour they were in consultation
That dav and the next passed, and
Thursday came. The will was to be
read in the surrogate's oflicc ; at twelve
o clock a carriage drove to the Kil
borne residence. In it wcro Mr. Tern
pie and two of his intimate 'friends.
The former alighted and entered the
houso. lu a moment he re-nppeaiod
with Myra. She acted a little nervous,
but seemed reassured by the presence
of the lawyer, who helped her into
(he carriage, aud all were driven away.
They proceeded to the residence of a
clergyman, where they were evidently
expected, as they were shown prompt
ly intc the parlor. The revcrued gen
tleman entered and the lawyer step
ped forward with Myta.
"We are the couple, sir."
The marriage ceremony of the Epis
copal Church was performed, a certifi
cate was made out, the two friends
signed it as witnesses, and the quar
tette were soon again seated in the
carriage.
"Drive to the Court House, said
Mr. Temple to the driver.
J. he surrogate, the clerk, Kobert
Kilbome, Lawyer Whittemore, and a
few others were in the surrogate's
office when the wedding party entered.
It was just two o'clock. The will was
read and Robert turned rather super
ciliously to Myra for her decision.
"YVU1 you sign tho agreement to
marry me r nc nsKca. "
"No," she replied.
"Then you resign the property to
me?" and a gleam of triumph shot
from his eyes.
"No."
"That will provides," said Mr.
Templt . "that she shall take the for
tune if married at tho time of its open,
ing. She is married to me, and here
is the certificate. The ceremony was
performed an hour ago."
Uu the same day proceedings were
instituted by Mr. i'emple on behalf of
Myra to obtain from her a divorce for
himself. Abandonment was the
ground. A few weeks later Harry re
turned, aud before the day appointed
tor lus murriage to Slyra sua obtained
her divoico from Mr. Temple. The
latter was pus of the jolliest of the
guests.
"It it hadu t been lor you be
gan the graceful bride.
btop, interrupted Mr. lempio. l
am tn iul it all in hit bill, for -me

But no bill for legal services was
ever paid with a better grace.

CATGUT.
A girl, young and pretty, and above !
all gifted with an air of admirable can
dor, lately presented herself before a
Parisian lawyer. .
'Monsieur, I have como to consult
you on a grave affair. : I want yon to
oblige a man I love to marry mo in
spite of himself. .. How shall 1 pro
ceed? ...
The gentleman of the bar, of course,
had a suniceientlv elastic conscience.
He reflected a moment, and then, be
ing Eure that no one overheard him,
replied, hesitatingly . . . i
"jiaaemoiBoiie, according to our
law, you always possess the means of
foroing a man to marry you. You
must remain on three occasions - alone
with him : you can then go before a
judge and swear that he is your lover.'
'And will that sutb.ee MonBleur?
"Yes, Madcraoselle, with one further
condition.' . .
'Well?' "
'Then you will produce witnesses
who will mako oath to having seen
you remain a good quarter of au hour
with the indivdual said to have trifled
with your affections.'
'Very well, Monsieur, I will retain
you as counsel in the management of
this affair. Good day.'
A few days afterward the young la
dy returned. She was mysteriously
received by the lawyer, who scarcely
gave ner nine to seat oersen, ana ques
tioned her with the most lively curios
ity.
'Capital, capital.'

THE BISHOP'S KETTLE.
' The following story is going the
