THE MISSING FINGER JOINT.
It was my firnt visit to LnndDti Since
I hud tnken up my abode and entered
on tlic practice of my profession n.3 a
solicitor nt youthainpion.
In Londoti I had a very dear friend,
my-old college chum, George Dickson ;
and r lie wa8 the only person I knew
in the great metropolis, of course Host
no time in looking him tip. Three
years had passed since our last meet
ing ; hut ten could scarcely have pro
duced a change more marked than had
taken place in the appearance and
manner of my friend.
Our first greetings and friendly in
quiries over, I longed, yet feared, to
ask tbc cause of my friend's melan
choly. I fek sure, in due time, of be
ing made the confidant of the secret,
provided no motive of delicacy prompt
its conceal men t.
That cveuing, at my room at the
hotel, George told me hia story. He
had formed an attachment for a young
lady, whose graces of mind and per
son he pol trayed with all the fervor of
a lover's eloquence. She had returned
h'n a flection ; but her father had op
posed the suit, having set his heart on
the marriage of 4ris daughter to a neph
ew of his. This nephew was A young
surgeon-, of profligato, character, my
friend assured ms but that may have
been pnj idica who had long, but un
successfully wooed his cousin, to whom
his profiers were as repugnant as they
wero to her father acceptable.
Borne months since, Mr. Parsons, the
young lady's father, had gone into
Hampshire on business, accompanied
by his nephew. At Southampton he
had been seized by a sudden illness,
which terminated fatally in three dajs.
On the day preceding his death he
had executed a will (which had since
been proved by the deposition of in
teresting witnesses), containing a sol
emn request that hi3 daughter, to whom
he left the whole of the estate, should
accept tho hand of his nephew in marriage-coupled
with the provisions that
in case the latter offered, and she re
fused, within a specified period to en
ter into the proposed union, the entire
estate devised to the daughter should
be forfeited to the nephew.
To sacrifice her fortune to her heart's
choice would not have cost Julia Par
6ons a moment's hesitation : and noth
ing could have more delighted George
Dickson than so fair an opportunity of
showing how superior his devotion whs
to all considerations of personal ad
vantage. But her father's dying re
quest, in Julia's eyes was sacred. It
had surprised and stunned her, it is
true ; for in their raaDy conferences on
the subject, lie had never goue beyond
the most kindly remonstrance, and
had never hinted at anything like co
ercion, -j..
Young Parson, the nephew, had not
the magi) minity fo forego hia ungen
erous advantage. lie might have
been content with his cousin's fortune
alone but his right to that depended
on his offer and ditr rejection of an
alliance which she felt in consequence
bound to accept. The brief seasou of
grace, which she had been compelled
to beg even with tears, had already
almost passed, and a few more days
would witness the condemnation ot
two lives to hopeless misery,
At tho conclusion ot my triend s
narrative, in which, for reasou3 that
may hereafter be developed, I felt a
icculiar interest, I prevailed upon
lira to accompany me to a place of
amusement, to which I had previously
procured ttcke's.
When we reached the tpeater, the
performances had already begun; but
we succeeded iu finding seats which com
manded a fair view of both tho stage
and audience.
In a few moments George touched
ray elbow.
"Observe the geutleman nearly op
posite, in the front row, seated next
column, leaning his arm on his caue."
he whispered.
t looked in the direction indicated,
and saw a face whoso striking re-em-blance
to one I had seen before caus
ed me to start with surprise.
"Who is it," I asked.
"Elbridgo Parsons," was the reply.
"The ono of whom you spoke?,,
"The same," my friend answered.
"Does he rtsemblo his uncle?" I
v.i-t on the point of inquiring ; hut
just then the stranger drew the glov
from his right hand, and I saw that
the first joint of the middle finger was
wanting, a circumstance which, for
sufficient reason, absorbed my attcu
tion.
"Do you know the exact date of
Mr. 1 arson s death : I asked when
we had gained the street at the close
of the performance.
"Yes," said George; "it was the 23d
of December. His daughter relieved
a telegram from her cousin, anuounc
ing the fact tho same day. But why
do you ask?
"I have a reason which may or may
not prove a good one,"- I returned;
aDd stating that I hid business cn
gngements for the whole of tho next
day, I parted with my friend, promis
ing meet him on the following even
ing. Next afternoon found me at the
abode of Mr. Parson, the suigeon. -
"Mr. Parsons, I presume?" were
the words with which I accosted the
man I had seen at the theater.
"Yes, sir."
"You may not remember me, Mr.
Parsons, but I believe wo met before."
"I beg your pardon jir, for not rec
collecting the occasion."
"You were iu Southampton last
winter, were you not?"
"I was," h8 answered with some
embarrassmeut. -
"I am the solicitor on whom you
called to take a draft of a will."
He turned pale, but made no reply.
I saw a copy of that will at Dr.
Commons this morning." I resumed,
"and-"
"You speak of my uncle's will," he
hastily interrupted.
"And yet," I continued, "you said
it was yours when you applied to have
it written. You represanted yourself
as desirocs of executing sush a docu
ment preparatory to embarking on a
perilous voyags. The paper was drawn
in accordance with your instructions,
leaving the dato to be filled up at the
time of eigning, your locks were grey
then, and you certainly looked old
enough to have a marriageable daugh
ter ; bufyour disguise was n it perfect."
And I pointed to the mutilated finger.
"What do you mean ?" he shouted,
iu n defiant tone.
"Simply that your uucle's signature
to that will is a forgery!" I answered,
ris'iDg and confronting him. "He
died on the 23d of December. Your
own telegram to that effect is iu exist
ence. It was on the 24ih, the day be
fore Christmas, that you called on me
to prepare that document now on re
cord as his will. The inference is
plain; you undertook to manufacture
this spurious testament after your un
cle's death, and wishing to clothe
your villainy in legal form, you pro
cured from mo the lepireJ draft.
You, or some one at instigation, simu
lated tho signature of the deceased.
Thd witnesses who have since perjured
themselves in their deposition, were
procured in some manner best known
to yourself, "
"Enough, sir," he ejaculated, plac
ing his back against the door; "von
have shown yourself in possession of a
secret the custody of w hich may prove
dangerous 1"
"J nm riot unprepared for threats,"
I replied. "In tho first place, I did
not come here unarmed, in the nexjt, I
have prepared a full written stato
nient of the fact3 to which I have al
luded, with information, besides of
my present visit to yourself. The
paptr will bo delivered to the friend
to whom it is directed ; unless within
an hour I reclaim it from the messen
ger, who has been instructed for that
lensrth of time to retain it.
His face grew livid. His frame
quivered with mingled fear and rage,
and his eye gleamed like that of a
wild beast at bay.
'What is your purpose? he ex
claimed in.a voice hoarse with sup
pressed pas-iion.
'lo keep your secret while you live,
I answered, "on one condition."
"Name it."
"That-vou write instantly to Julia
Parsons,. renouncing ail pretension to
her hand, and absolutely withdraw
ing your proposal of marriage."
After a moment s puse he hastily
penned a brief note, which he sub
mitted to my inspection ; it was quite
satisfactory.
"Be so good as to seal- and address
it," I said.
He did so.
"I will see that it is delivered," I
remarked, taking it up and bowing
myself out.
When I met George Dixon that
evening, hia old college look had
come back. He had great news to
tell me. 1 he next thing was to take
me to see Juli.i ;"and itis needless to
tell what a happy evening we three
spent together, and what a happy
marriage followed not long atcer.
Elbridgo Parsons, I have just learn
ed, emigrated for Australia, on board
the London, mid went down in that
ill fated ship.
If a mechanic or clerk save only
2 cents per day, from the time he is
twenty-ouo until he is threescore and
ten, the aggregate, with interest, will
amount to 82,'JOO ; and a daily saving
of 271 reachethe important sum of
$29,000. A sixpence saved daily will
provide a fund of 87,000 suftj.cieut to
purchase a good farm.
"Mrs. Spinks," observed a hoarder
to his landlady, "the equal adjust
ment of this establishment could be
moro safely secured if there was less
hair in the hash and more in the mat
tresses." Fit subjects for prison discipline
, the cypher dispatch "reformers."
TOO LATE FOR THE TRAIN.
When thev reached the depot, Mr.
Mann and his wife gazed in unspeaka
ble disappointment at the receding
train, which was just pulling away
from tho brir'ge switch at the rate of
a thousand miles a minute. Their
first impulse was to run after it, but
us the train was out of sight and
whistling for Sagetown before they
could act upon the impulse, 'they re
mained in tho carriage and disconso
lately turned their horses' heads home
ward.
"It all corned ef having to wait for
a woman to get ready," Mr. Mann
broke the silence, very grimly.
"I was ready before you were," re
plied his wife.
' Great Heavens," cried Mr. Mann,
with great impatience, jerking the
horses jaws out of place, "just listen to
that! And I sat in the buggy ten
minutes yelling at yon to come along
until the whole neighborhood heard
me. ,
"Yes," acquiesced Mrs. Maun with
the provoking placidity which no one
can assume but a woman, "and every
time I started down stairs you sent
me back for something you had for
gotten." Mr. Mann groaned. "This is too
much to bear," he said, "when every
body knows that if I were going to
Europe I would just rush iDto tho
house, put on a clear shirt, grab up
my grip sack, and by, while you
would want at least six months for
prclirr'nary preparations, aod then
dawdle around the whole day of start
ing until every tfain had left town."
Well, the upshot of the matter was
that the Manns put off their visit to
Aurora until the next week, and it
was agreed that each one4 should get
himself or herself ready and go down
fo the train and go, and the one who
failed to get ready should be left. The
day of the match came around in due
time. The train was going at 10:30,
and Mr. Mann, after attending to his
business, wont home at 9:45.
"Now, then," he shouted, "only
three quarters of an hour's time. Fly
around ; a fair field and no favors,
you know."
And away they flsw. Mr. Mann
.bulged into this room and flew through
that one, and dived irto one closet
after another with inconceivable ra
pidity, chuckling under his breath all
the time to think how cheap Mrs.
Mann would foel when he started off
alone. He stopped on his way up
stairs lo pull off his heavy boots to
save time. For the samo reasons he
pulled off his coat as he ran through
tho dining room and hung it on a cor
ner of the silver closet. Then he
jerked off his vest as he rushed
through the hall and tossed it on a
hook in the hat rack, and by the time
ho had reached his own room ho was
ready to plunge into his clean clothes.
He pulled out a bureau drawer and
began to paw at the things like a
Scotch terrier- after a rat.
"Eleanor," he shrieked, "where are
my shirts?"
"In your bureau drawer," ca'mly re
plied Mrs. Mann, who was standing
tefore a glass calmly and deliberately
coaxing a refractory crimp into place.
"Well, by thunder, they ain't!"
shouted Mr. Mann, a little annoyed.
"I've emptied everything out of the
drawer, and there isa't a thing in it I
ever saw before."
Mrs. Mann stepped back a few
paces, held her head on one side, aud
after satisfying heisclf that the crimp
would do, and would stay where 6he
had put it, replied :
"These things scattered around on
the floor are all mine. Probably you
haven't ben looking iDto your own
drawer.".
"I don't see," testily observed Mr.
Mann, "why you couldn't have put
ray things out for me when you had
nithing else to do all tho morning."
"Because." said Mrs. Mann, set
tling herself into an additional article
ot raiment with awlui delioeraiion,
"nobodv nut miue out for me. A fair
field and uo iavors, mr dear.
Mr. Mann pluncred into his shirt
like a bull at a red flag.
"Foull" he shouted iu malicious
triumph. "No buttons on the neck!"
"Because," said Mrs. Mann, sweet
lj, after a deliberate stare at the fidget
ing, impatient man, during which
she buttoned her dreswiu j put eleven
pins where they would do the most
good, "because you have got the shirt
on wrong side out."
When Mr. Mann slid out of the
shirt ho began lo sweat. He dropped
the shirt three time before he got it
on, and while It was over hii head he
heard the clock strike ten. When
his head cam through ho saw Mrs.
Mann coaxing the ends and bows of
her neoktio.
"Where's my shirt studs?" he
cried.
Mrs. Mann went out into another
room and presently curao back with
her gloves and hat, aud erw Mr. Mann
emptying all the boxes he could find
in and about tho bureau. Then sho
sail:
"In the shirt you just pulled off."
Mrs. Mann put on her gloves while
Mr. Mann hunted up and down the
room for his cuff button.
"Eleanor," he snarled, at last, "I
believe you must know where thoFie
cuff buttons are."
"I haven't seen them," said th
lady, settling her hat ; "didn't you lay
them down on the window sill in the
6itting-room last night?"
Mr. Mann remembered, and he went
down stairs on the run. lie stepped
on one of his boots and was immediate
ly landed in the hall at the foot of tho
stairs with neatness and dispatch, at
tended in the transmission with moro
bumps than he could count with Webb's
adder, and landed with a bang like
the Hell Gate explosion.
"Are you nearly ready, Algernon ?"
asked the wife of his family, ..sweetly,
leaning over the banisters.
The unhappy man groaned. "Can't
you throw me down the other! boot?"
he asked. . -, , .
Mrs.,..Maun pityiL-gly kicked ..it
down to him.
"My valise?" be jnquired, as lie
tujrgcd at tho boot. - '
"Up in your dressing-room," she
answered.
"Packed?"
"I do not know ; unless you packed
it yourself, probably not," she replied,
with her hand on the door knob; "I
had barely time to pack my own."
She was passing out of the gate
when the door opened, aud he shout
ed: "Where in the name of goodness
did you put my vest? It has all my
money iu it!"
"You threw it on the hat-rack,"
sho called ; "good bye dear."
Before she got to the coi ner of the
street she was hailed again. -
"Eleanor! Eleanor! Eleanor Maim!
Did you wear off my coat?"
She paused and turned, after eig
ualling the street car to stop, and
cried :
"You threw it on the silver closet."
And the street car engulfed her
graceful form and sho was . seen no
moro. But the neighbors say that
they heard Mr. Mann charging up
and down the house, rushing out of
the frout door every now and then,
shrieking after the unconscious Mrs.
Mann, to know where his hat was,
and where she put.the valise key, and
if ho had any clean socks and under
shirts, and that there wasn't a linen
collar in the house. And when he
went away at last, he left the kitchen
door, the side doer and the front door,
all the down stair windows and tho
front gate wide open. And tho loung
ers around tho depot were somewhat
amused, just as the train was n
out of sight down in the' yards, 1
a flushed, perspiring man, witi
hat on sideways, his vest butUy
and necktie flying, and his gripi-uci.
flapping opou'and shut like a dement'
ed shutter on a March night, and a
door key in his hand, dash wildly
across tho platform and halt iu the
middle of the track, glaring in deject
ed, impotent, wrathful mortification
at the departing train, and shaking
his fist at a pretty woman who was
throwing kisses at him from the rear
platform of the last car. Burlington
