PLANO MF'G., CO., — GENTS: I saw one of your Jones Lever Binders with fly wheel, work in green rye, May 30th., 1895; and must say I have used other Binders myself, and have seen manv different kinds of Binders work, but never saw any machine do nicer work in ripe grain, than this one did in green rye. The thermometer stood 90 degrees 111 the shade, and two horses took it nicely. The fly wheel, Ido think, is a grand thing; giving you a storage power that you do not get 011 any other Binders. For Lightness of Draft, I never saw anything to Inrat the Jones Lever Binders. T. H. GREER.

CHAPTER XXL On the rendition of the verdict in the case just tried, the court announced its readiiiess to sit in ordinary. some preliminary skirmishing. Tor rance said to his associate: "Will you open the case, Dabney?" "By no means, Mr. Torrance. Yor are the one to do that." Passing his hands for a moment 01 two ovef his eyes, he rose, and thus begam '"May it please your honors, I have lived long enough to note many results of human actions done in secret whose discovery seemed to me the ordering of the Divine Being, who wills not that certain among the special objects of his care shall long be outraged with impunity. Your honors, some of whom, I know— perhaps all—are more familiar than I am with texts of Holy Scripture, mnv recall some in which widows and orphans are mentioned in terms of pe culiarly tender commiseration. Some times, not very often, yet sometimes, m the strivings of this lower life, when men are in Conflict with men, equals with equals, one more skillful or more enduring or more fortunate in acci dental circumstances seems to be al lowed to prevail without justice, while tne other is left to his hopes of a bet ter day. But when the battle is be tween the strong and the weak who are fitted to wield no sort of weapon of warfare, and who can only stand and be smitten, oftentimes interference comes from sources unforeseen, so sud denly unexpected and so abundantly efficacious that we think we can refer ibem only to the omnipotent God." His words in solemnest tones, and fiis look, as he lifted it with reverent nquiry towards Heaven, inspired everybody with awe. After a moment's pause he continued: "On this day, I trust, a signal mani festation of such interposition will ap pear, one which possibly may be as sur prising to the propounder of this al leged will as to anyone else here pres ent. A few minutes ago a proposal y,-as submitted to that person for a set tlement upon terms which promptly, and apparently with angry disdain, he declined. It therefore becomes the duty of the counsel for Mrs. Hannah Amerson to present such a showing as may serve to convince him for the bal ance of his life that it comes not with in the limits of his powers to oppress, nor within that of his wariness to de fraud grossly, those whom the Creator in specialest fondness styles his little ones. May It please your honors, I knew Pearce Amerson right well. Al though a firm, perhaps a rather willful man, I had never suspected him of be ing Unnatural in such affections as the Creator, for purposes of protection to the dependent young, has implanted in the being of parents of every sort and degree, nor, as I believe, had any among his acquaintance regarded him as capable of adding to a gross injus tice to one of his own offspring a gross er duplicity. I was much surprise!, therefore, after bis decease, when I heard that in his last will and testa ment he had bequeathed well nigh all his large estate to that one of his chil dren who stood least in need of such partiality. But when I was told of some of his expressions uttered more than once upon his bed of death, while yet his understanding was clear to com prehend their meaning, I said to my self: No, Pearce Amerson, whatever in firmities he had in common with all humanity, was not a man to die with a lie upon his lips; and then I thought that even if ho had done so, there is many a son who in a case so monstrous would have been quick, like the sons of the drunken Noah, to cover up the shameless nakedness of such a father. To my associate counsel, who has pre pared this case with consummate pru dence and skill, as soon as he was re tained as counsel, came a suspicion of fraud. Together we have been search ing for its hiding place, and it has been only within a brief time that, by the help of God, we have found it." He slowly turned his great brown eyes upon Amerson, who, pale as a dead man; Instantly averted his own, and said to his counsel: "I haven't the remotest idea what the mau means." "Ilush!" said Watson. "I want to listen, and I want you to listen, to what he Is baying." "I have abundant proof," continued Torrance, "that after making q will which was witnessed by my old friend - ill/ AFTER A MOMEKT'S I'AUSE HK CON- TnrCID. Mr. Flint, whom 1 see in this court room, and two others, convinced that at the time of its execution he was be set by influences leading him to thoughts and feelings unjust to one member of his family, he determined to destroy it. I have proof (juito as substantial that he declared upon his deathbed that he had destroyed it, aud that lie died fully believing that yv-liat lie said was the truth. It was here that appeared that mysterious Providence who delivers from the hand of the destroyer such as these two, this husbandless woman and this fatherless child." As he turned toward his clients, tears, seldom shed by him, were ip his eyes. Wiping them away with his vast silk handkerchief, continued: "God, indeed, is past finding out; how tendefly loving', how aboundingly merciful, how matchlessly just, hoard.
