OLD KILBORNE'S WILL.
i r 01 J Walter Kilborno died, and left
a lottuoe that aggregated nouMy a
milliou. The gloomy old house wbiPli
had been the family residence for
many a year, etood in one of the down
town streets that had 0nce been the
lite of the fashionable residence, of
JNew X oris city, liut the wealthy had
long ago removed thu avenues, load
ing the perverse' millionaire, to ' hold
1iis own aiimncr ' t!ia prowinir biiKiiiess
0f ti,e once armtocratio thoroughfare.
A bunch of black crapo dtill bung on
the hell knhh. four davs after the fune
ral, when a bent, wily looking man
pulled it. Being admitted, he was
shown into a dingy room which Mr.
Ktlborne had in his hie used as an
office. This bent wily looking man
was Lawyer Whittemore.
"Uood morning, said tbe lawyer,
as Robert, a grandchild oF the dead
milionaire, a young man who showed
plainly the marks pi rough social us
aire, entered and extended his hand
ratner,iisuessiy. . ,- ; j.
"uooa moruing, was tne repiy.
"Well?"
" Wcl 1 ?" echoed the 1 a wyer. 1
"You got my note ?"
"Asking me to meet you here?
Yes what do you want?"
"You drew my grandfather's will?'
"I did, two days before he died."
"What wore 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 know its contents on Ihursday,
when it will be officially opened.
couldn't thiuk of violating my official
:. ''Not unless : you aro pid for it,"
interrupted the young man. "I un
derstand that perfectly well, and will
be plain and brief with you. As you
are awre, myself and my cousin My
ra are the only living relatlws of my
grandfather. We have been brought
up here in tins house together, and
each hates the other as much as possi
ble, w, I've no idea how the prop
erty is left, and I want to know. I am
willing to pay for thoiriowledge in
advanco of the openiiTfof
(ho will,
and yuM
ThTa
of hiifiei
and yuM have it to sell.'
awver assented with a cool nod
ead. e.
"Then name your price' continued
Robert.
"Ono thousand dollars." T ' -
"I haven't so much."
"A note fdr a month will do."
The document was quickly written
out, signed by the young man, and
transposed to the lawyer's pocket. ' '
"The will," then said Mr. Witte
inorc, "is a strange one as strange as
tbe man who made it but he would
listen to no advice, and I bad nothing
to do but carry out bis wishes, Jie
leaves all his property to Myra Kil
borno. " : '
"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 condition that she shall immediate
ly sign an agreement to, within a year,
become your wife. 'If she shall decline
to fultilrHhis condition.tho property be
longs to you. The only other point is
that in case Myra . marries any body
beiore the will is opened, she gets tbe
property the same as if she marries
you. Uut that provision, or course, is
of no consequence, as she 13 not likely
to marry beiore day after to-ruorrow,
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. He
was disappointed, however, for Robert
seemed rather satisfied than otherwise.
"It pleases me well enough," he
said, "lor I half expected to be cut off
unconditionally. You see, 1 ve been
rather last, and t'ie old man disliked
it, while Myra's gentle ways and at
tention to his wants , won his regard.
She is completely bound up in her
lover, Harry rerton, who is aundreris
of miles away just dow, and I dou't
believe she would give biui up lor the
fortune a dozen times over. Even if
she should consent to marry me, I
wouldn't be so- badly off with the prop
erty almost unaer my control.
The lawyer here arose, bade his un
scrupulous patron good day, aud went
out. But as he did bo, had his ears
been younger, he might have caught
tho sound of rustling skirts enveloping
tho pretty form for Myra Ki.lborne,
who hoard every word of the interview
by listenlDS at tbe coor.
"Bo, so," site mused when she had
reached her own room and thrown her
self into the chair, 'Tin to buy the
fortune by scllinif myself. I won't do
it. I would not give up Harry for
fifty times a million. Robert can
take the money, and mucu good may
.1- i.: n
IV uu UlUi,
Yet, notwithstanding her conclusive
-dcciiiiou, Myra could not reliuquih
wtdiout a pan" tho fortune to which
tUo hud always linked forward as her
1 own uii titin poitiuu.. . Jlc gi'audfathrr
had always seemed to regard her withL
nnecuon, ana sne tma not ureamea
that in his will he could Impose such a
distasteful restriction.
If Harry ' was only here." she
thought, 'there would not 1 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 ' ft - moment s delay she
dressed herself for the street and went
out. She knew -no lawyer, but walked
until she'eame to a building npon which
she had often ' noticed an array of
signs. Passing up stairs, and select
ing a name from tbe lot that chanced
to strike hr most favorably she' en
tered a well furnished office ; a ' mid
dle-aged man sat alone writing at a
desk.
"Is Mr. Temple In?" asked Myra.
"Yes," said the man, looking up . at
niB preuy visitor, anu motioning ner
to a seat, "that is my name."
"I have como for some legal advice
some advice on a matter of the
greatest importance to me, and"
"If I am to aid you," said the law
yer, kindly, "you must speak frankly
and unreservedly, which you may tdo
in the utmost counuence.
Thus encouraged, Myra told him
the whole story of the will, the man
ner in which she obtained informa
tion, and her feelings in the mattfe.
"Of course," she concluded, "I wijit
to retain the fortune, but not at the
price stipulated in the will. Can you
help me 1 '.---x' - -..
Mr. Temple sat for a while in deep
thought so long, in fact, that Myra
got fidgety with waiting. At last his
face brightened with an idea,' and L
at once imparted it to his fair client,
for an hour they were in consultation.
That day and the next passed, and
Thursday came. The will was to be
read in the surrogate s office ; at twelve
o clock a carriage drove to the Kil
barne residence. In ft were Mr.Tern-
le and two of his intimate. 'friends
i'lie former alighted and entered tho
houCo; : Iu a ifiomont Jie re-appeaied
with Myra. bhe acted a little nervous
but seemed reassured by tbe presence
of the lawyer, who helped her into
the carriage, aud all were driven away,
1 hey proceeded to tho residence of
clergyman, where they were evidently
expected, as tbey were shown prompt
ly into tlie parlor. J he revcrned gen
tlemaa entered and tbe lawyer step
ped lorward with JYlyra.
"We are the couple, sir.
The marriage ceremony of the Epis
copal Church was perlormed, a cortin
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.
I he surrogate, the clerk,- ltober
Kilborne, Lawyer Whittemore, and a
few others were in tbe surrogate
office when the wedding par ty entered
It was just two o'clock. The will was
read and Robert turned rather super
ciliousiy to Myra lor her decision.
"Win you sign, tne agreement -to
marry me ?" he asked. ' '; ,"
No," she replied.
Then you resign the property to
me?" and a gleam of triumph shot
from his eyes. 1 .,, ;
"JN0." - - 1- .,..; (
"That ' will Provides.'? ' ' said : Mr.
Temple, "that sue shall take the for
tune if married at the time of its open
ing. She is married to me, and here
is the certificate.. The ceremony was
performed an hour ago." . w. .
Un the saute day proceedings were
instituted by Mr. Temple on behalf of
Myra to obtain from her a divorce for
himself. Abandonment, was the
ground. A few weeks later Harry re
turned, and before the day appointed
for his marriage to Myr she obtained
her divoree from Mr. Temple. The,
latter was one of the jolliest of the'
guests. - . "
"It it hadu t been tor you r be
gan the graceful bride. "
"btop, interrupted Mr. lemplo. I
am to put it all ia wt bill. For -the
win suit, bo many aouarsL
for the
vorce suit, so many dollars you see I
am the ouo to be grateful after all.
But uo bill for legal services was
ever paid with a better grace.

A girl, young and pretty, and above
all gilted with an air of admirable can
dor, lately presented ' herself beiore a
Parisian lawyer. . . ; . : 1 1 . ; .u
Monsieur, 1 nave come to consnlt
tod on a grave affair. 1 1 want yon to
oblige ft man I love to marry rao iu
spite of himself. . How shall I pro
ceed 7 .; . t '., - '? I !'!..- 1
The gentleman of the bar, of course.
had a sufficeiently elastio conscience.
He reflected a moment, and then, be
mg sore that no one overheard 1 him,
replied, hesitatingly : . w b :
"JiauemoiseJie, , .according to our
law, you afwajs possess M,he means of
ioroing a man to marry . youv xou
must remain on three. occasions'-alone
wiiu iiini: you can then . eo beiore a
judge and swear that he i your lover.'
'And will that suffice Monsieur?
"Yes, Madcraoselle.with one further
condition.. , ,1
'Well?' ;
'Then you will produce witnesses
who will make oath to . having seen
you remain a good quarter of an hour
with the indivdual said to have trifled
with your affections.'
'Very well, Monsieur, 1 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 iier time to seat nerseir, ana ques
tioned ber with the most lively curios
,y- . . . .- -i '
Capital, capital. : ; '
'Persevere in your design, Made mo
iselle, but the next time you come to
consult me give me tne name ot the
man you are going to make so happy in
spite of himself.
A fortnight afterward the "young la
dy knocked at the door of the coun
sel s room.. . JSo sooner was she in than
she flung herself into a chair, saying
that the walk had made her breathless.
Her counsel tried to reassure her,
made her inhale salts, and even pro
posed to unloose her garments. .. , 1
,- 'It is useless, Monsieur,' she said,.., 'I
am much better,
'Well, now, tell me the name of the
fortunateman.'. , ; ..... ,
. lWell,?bcn, the fortonate mortal.bo
it known to you, is yourself,' said the
young beauty, bursting into a laugh.
'I love you ; I have been here three
times tcte-a-tete with you, and my four
witnesses are below ready and willing
to accompany me to the magistrate,
gravely continued the narrator. ;
The lawyer thus caught had, the
good seniio .not to get angry, t The
most singular fact of al 1 is that he
adores his young wife, who makes an
excellent housekeeper. . .

'The following story is' going : the
round of English railways: The Bish

siio, he walked from a church iu the
Black Country to the railway station
where he was to take the train for
home, Ou the way he happened to
observe a group of pen sitting to
gether on the ground, and immediate
ly resolved to "say a word in season
to them, after the fashion of the Ca

tuributor. 'Well, my good men,' said
his lordship incognito, 'what are you
doing f The response of one of them
was not calculated to please and en

the horrified Bishop ; 'what do you
