T T S an insult," said John Stone; I "you shall send them right back. You're Just ss near a relative as the Gordons, yet they hare got every thing, Just because they were there when your aunt died; and then because they knew you were entitled to souie thing. In fact. Just as much as they, from her estate, have sent you this col lection of odd and ends." -'Hush. John; never mind. It's not worth talking about, and we might as well make the best of it. Beggars can't be choosers, you know," sagely re marked Ul wife. The cause of this outburst was an oblong grten pasteboard box, which had Just arrived, and whose contents, so Eleanor Stone said, were not worth the express paid ou it. An accompany ing note, addressed to Mrs. Stone in explanation of the box. was as follows: "Dear Eleanor: I avnd you herewith what mother. May and I nave picked out as your share of Aunt Marcia's bc lorg nRs. They weren't as much as an ticipated, and we divided the rest among ourselves, as we had the care of ber in her last illness. Tour affectionate j cousin. EFFIE GOBDON." Eleanor Stone took the note and flung It In the stove. "So much for my , cousin's affection. It's too bad. I know Aunt Marcia must have had some mon ey, and as for the bother of her last ill ness, it was self-sought, which makes me doubly sure she left something, for the Gordons are not the kind to put themselves out for nothing. If we only ; had Just a little of ber money to tide i us over until you get well and put us on our feet again." Aunt Marcia was Miss Marcia Per kins, a maiden great-aunt of Eleanor Stone, who had lived somewhat as a recluse and who had recently died. Eleanor turned the box upside down, gazing regretfully at the little heap on the table. There was an old-fashioned bone hairpin, two bits of lace, sur mounted with lavender bows, such as old ladies wear for caps, two or three cheesecloth dusters, Ave handkerchiefs, a hair-ring, and an old-fashioned daguerreotype in a rusty black and gilt case, showing the faded countenance of a genteel-looking youth of past date. "There," said Mrs. Stone, derisively. "Is my share of my late lamented aunt's estate, and here am I, who expected a hundred or two, anyway, as bard up as anybody could be, with John sick and unable to work, while Annt Susan, Effie and May Gordon, who know noth ing of hard times, are probably basking , In the sunshine of her dollars." At this point, being of a philosophical turn of mind, she gathered up her In heritance, put It away in the closet, and devoted herself to her husband, who lay grumbling on the sofa, a victim Id the clutches of rheumatism. Several weeks later Eleanor was brooding over the financial situation, when the bell rang, and an elderly man stood at the door. He Introduced him self as "Mr. Clavers." and said that being the Gordons' family lawyer, and happening to be in town that day, he bad come at their request to ask a little favor. "Would Mrs. Stone care to part with a little old-fashioned daguerreotype the Gordons bad sent her In a box of things that were Miss Perkins'?" Eleanor's curiosity and suspicions were aroused by the sudden desire for this worthless relic of former days. Mr. Clavers explained that the ladles bad taken a fancy for It, as an antique merely. They would be quite willing to purchase it, and If a $10 bill would be any object - - "No," answered Eleanor, spurred on to refusal by a sudden conviction. ' I didn't get many of my aunt's things, but what I did I shall keep," where upon she arose and politely but unmis takably bowed the astonished old gen tleman out. Then site hurried to the closet, and, rummaging around, soon found the box. and in It the daguerreotype case. This she opened and began to scratch it all over with her thumbnail and to fin err its surface carefully, lioplng, all the while, that she had not let a 910 bill go ; for nothing. It might really be a whim of Aunt Susan's, after all. to want the old thing, yet somehow It seemed to Eleanor that she bad once heard Aunt Marcia speak of a daguerreotype case with a secret spring and false back which was a much prized possession, the gift of a dear friend. Suddenly she gave a gasp and John looked up from his couch In time to see something white flutter to the floor. Forgetting his rheumatism, he sprang from the sofa and stood, reading over Eleanor's shoulder a bit of writing on a scrap of paper that meant much to those two. "I, Marcia Perkins, hereby glye to the person who. after my death, become the owner of the daguerreotype of Jo seph Thurston, in the case of which this paper will be placed by me, the lum of $2,500." That was as far as they went, !" Mid Eleanor. "Hum," said John, and there was a lilence for as many as three seconds. "Go on," said John. "It's nothing more about us. It's only that he," waving the placidly pictured young man, "was her lover. He was drowned at sea, and ber house and oth er belongings are to be sold and the money Is to go to the Seamen's Or phans' fund. "So Effie and the others will bars to clve up what they have already takes possession of, and Instead of every thing will have nothing." ";mhI enough." concluded John, in a satisfied tune, -provided this paper la perfectly legal. Thought they could slight you entirely, but Instead they made a mess of it themselves by giving you a cast-off. Insignificant-looking trinket, which happened to be the most valuable thing your aunt left after all." "If everything is only tamed ever to us without any trouble," co eluded his wife. "To think of tbelr pretending be didn't leave anything. Them was little trouble over the mat ter, the paper being dated, signed, and witnessed. Thus the Gordons reluc tantly taw their knowledge of the tagnerreotype's secret came too late, while the Stones, with Its aid. were enabled to buy a pleasant little home, where, secure from "bard times," they enjoy life together, the daguerreotype case occupying the place of honor. Boston Post A Hero at Home. Mot all the heroes were at Santiago. One of them came forward recently In Topeka, when the Santa Fe Railroad fonnd It necessary to reduce the fores employed in the freight department. Among those who were to be dis charged was a man with a wife and half a dozen children, and his salary was the family's only Income. Lines appeared In bis face as the expiration of his term of service drew near, and bis eyes told a story of suffering snd despair. Dean Waters, a fellow employe, saw all this. It made him sick at heart, and his folks saw that something was the matter, but be kept bis thoughts to himself. For a week he watched the other workman suffer in silence, and at night he could not sleep for thinking of the hardships in store for this man'a wife and little ones. Then be made a resolve. Going to the head of the de partment, he said: "If I resign my position, will you keep Mr. Blank?' Yes." replied the head of the depart nient.

Among the battered flotsam and Jet sam that has accumulated In a second hand store la New Orleans, says the Times-Democrat, Is a shabby round table with a carious secret, and bo doubt a still more curious history. The top was once covered with green bill iard cloth, which Is worn to tatters and discloses a steel plate set In the center and perhaps ten Inches square. The whole top is loose and can be re moved, revealing an Interior space con taining a horseshoe magnet wound with wire and connected with an arma ture very much like that of an ordinary telegraph Instrument A close examin ation shows an insulated wire running down one of the legs to a small knob or button, protruding on the outside. When the top is In place the steel plate rests directly over the magnet. This strange device ' Is explained clearly enough by Its present owner." "It is a dice table," be said, "on which a lot of money has been won. When it was in order there was a good-sized battery Inside connected with the mag net. When the knob on the leg was pressed the current was turned on, and i that made the steel plate magnetic.

Yonnar Lawyer Gets Even with an Old Phy.iclaa Who Tricks Hint. A physician-and a lawyer occupying rooms in the same large downtown building met not long ago In the lobby. The lawyer has only bad his shingle out for sixnnonths, while the physlcan has been practicing for many years. Consequently the physician Is inclined : to use a condescending manner toward the young lawyer, and the young law- ' yer respects the physician as a nun ! who has made his mark. "You should do something for that ' cold," the physician said. v "What?" asked the lawyer res pen - i fully, from force of habit. Tbe physician made a few remarks about the treatment of colds as they rode up in tbe elevator. The other day : the lawyer received a bill for "services rendered" blm by the physician. By this time he bad forgotten that he ever had a cold or that he had met the phy sician and listened to advice on colds b? cause it is polite to do so. With the bill in his hand he sought out tbe phy sician, who explained tbe matter, say ing be need not pay it at once unless It was convenient for him. Not wishing to make an enemy of the young lawyer, he talked of business and business diffi culties for half an hour, drawing the young man out and giving him a chance to talk. The next day the physician received a check for $1 in payment of the bill sent the young lawyer, accompanied by a bill with the lawyer's name across tbe top, which called for $10 for half an hour's consultation the day before. The physician promptly paid. Chicago Chronicle.

There Is a good deal of discussion orer tbe fact that many women do not marry. In fact one would almost Imag ine that It Is only the men who marry nowadays. There Is a reason for it, of course, and there seems to be an effort an the part of many to find It out. Some say it la because she Is "too vain," oth ers that she is "too extravagant." "too mercenary," "too modern." However, Winifred Black throws a few Interest ing side lights on the subject, many of which show the color of truth. She ays: "The modern woman doesn't marry because the right man doesn't ask her. Women to-day are just aa anxious to 9e married as their grandmothers were; sensible, honest women are living to day, and the man who wants to marry one of them can do so, but they are not looking for that kind of woman. A man falls In love with an empty-headed, heartless doll for her pretty face, snd then complains because he finds the doll's head Is hollow. When a man chooses a sweetheart because, she wears 'dead swell' clothes, and then falls to lamenting over the cupidity of woman when that same girls aaks him what bis revenue is before she decides about loving him be Is not quite as logi cal as be might be. Now, is he, really? "Any woman worth marrying will marry the man ahe loves even If be can't scrape up money enough to pay the minister. She may not be happy with him after she marries him, but It will not be his poverty that makes her miserable. The great law of natural selection holds Its sway with the just aa well aa with tbe unjust. Tou can't educate the human nature out of a woman any more than you can refine it out of a man. "A master of the science of economics will elope with an extravagant creature just as quickly as a proud, high-tempered woman will mysteriously fall In love with a stupid nobody. Dan Cupid, Esq., has gone out of fashion, but he Isn't dead, not by any manner of means, and never will be. Men put women on a pedestal, but they set the pedestal In the mud.

Article of Fwerr-Dax TJa Baajact of Ttaoaaaada of Istwcatiaaa. "It la becoming harder every year for a man to get out a succeeaful Inven tion," remarked a patent attorney. The other day I was In Washington and my work required me to search the old patent list. The thing that attracted my attention was the great number of patents taken out on common, every day articles. Why, they are so covered with patents that It seems absolutely Impossible for an Inventor to make any improvement upon them without In fringing upon somebody else. "For Instance, take knives, forks and spoons. How many patents do you suppose are taken out on these three articles of every -day necessity? A dozen or two? Why, bless you, they are protected by 2,103 patents. Then take broms and scrubbing brushes. Xou wouldn't think that any number of geniuses could Invent more than a hun dred Improvements upon aucb things. Well, there are patents for them to the number of 3,184. It seems ridiculous, doesn't It? It did to me, and for a time I thought I would go home and advise everyone of my clients to give up the inventing business. "I bad the curiosity to go a little deeper Into the subject and I made a record of tbe number of patents taken out en other email things. Games and toys are protected by 4,468 different patents. But, of course, that can be overlooked, for games and toys are as varied aad uncertain aa our winter weather. The laundry business Is hedged In pretty well with patents, for there are 7,633 taken out on various laundry articles. Burglars ought nev er to be able to get through our locks and latches, for they are protected by 5.976 patents; but then this Is partly offset by 4,299 patents for saws and sawing apparatus which burglars might use for destroying locks. Alto gether, however, the farmer seems to be the man for whom the Inventors have labored most. There are 60,000 patents recorded which in one way or another tend to benefit tbe farmer. It must be that this is a pretty fertile and profitable field for tbe Inventor, or else he would not devote so much time and labor to it "Manufacturing Interests of all kind are pretty well loaded down with pat ents. In the furniture trade alone there are 4,854 patents to protect the busi ness outside of those which pertain to chairs. These latter necessary articles for the home are covered with over 500 patents. When you take up a piece of paper to write a letter you probably do i!ot realize that the manufacture of stationery Is handicapped, or protect ed, whichever way you please to put It, by 4,532 patents. That fact ought to make one careful how he attempts to Invent a new style of envelone. blotter or writing paper. He would have to be a remarkable genius to get around all of these and establish a clean bill of neaitb Tor his Invention. "When I look at one of the Ull build ings In the city In the course of con struction I stop now and view It with more Interest than I ever did Woe. That builder has had a host of Invent ors laboring to make his work easier. ms cranes and derricks are protected by 596 patents, the roof be may put on has 665 patents and the elevators he may put In the building have 1,638 pat ents. Then the stone workers who carve the front for him use tools which are covered by 2,188 patent. 1 suppose ir the builder had to stop aad think of all this he would not be able to finish a patent attorney must know lf-New York Bun.
