THE BURNED WILL.
BY MART KYLE DALLAS.
I had been engaged to my cousin Ken
neth for two years, and the course of
true love had run as smoothly as pos
sible.
Nobody objected. Nobody prophe-!
sied evil for the future.
In fact, my uncle Graham, Kenneth's
father, had been delighted when he dis j
covered our liking for each other.
44 It was what I hoped from the first,"
he said. "Bessy will make a good
wife, and she is the only girl I know that j
I should like to have about the house.
Of course, you will both live with me. j
and everything I have will be Kenneth's I
when I go."
Was ever beginning move auspicious?
When 1 left boarding-school aud came
to my uncle's to live, I had never seeu j
him or my cousin. I had been left an |
orphan as a little child, and knew I was
to keep house for my uncle Graham when
I was old enough; but he had been
abroad, Kenneth at school and college,
and I had only been able to wonder what
my unknown relatives were like.
How delightful it was to find them ,
charming, to be made much of by them,
to be petted by the servants so that my
housekeeping was a mere position of
dignity involving no responsibilities,
and finally, to know that in Kenneth I
had met my fate.
I had nothiug to lose, as those have
who leave a happy home for an unknown
future, but everything to gain.
Life had just begun for mc. For six
months no cloud arose upon my horizon.
How could I fancy that a storm was
brooding? It came in a most uuromantic
shape.
That important period in a young
man's history, the election day ou which
he casts his first vote, had arrived for
Kenneth, aud he voted for the wrong
man. I still think it was for the wrong
man, for it is not in a woman's nature
to set politics before love.
Kenneth voted for the man of whom j
his father disproved. It was a terrible
surprise to my uncle, a great shock, an
unendurable offense.
lie believed that Kenneth respected
his opinions, would be guided by them
in ull things.
He reproached him bitterly at first, and
placed the matter in such a light that
my sympathies were his, and I re
proached him also, though rather by
tears than in words.
Of the question itself I knew nothing,
but my uncle was a large man with a 1
loud voice, and a confidence in himself
seldom equaled.
Besides, he had been in office, and it
appeared to me that he must know I
which was the right man in the right
place.
Kenneth talked a great deal about his !
principles and how a man could not!
change them to please anybody. The I
house rung with reproaches, arguments,
and finally with abuse.
Kenneth uttered words he never should
have spoken to his father, and my uncle '
was horribly offensive.
One day they were at it hammer and
tongs, and in order to escape the noise I
went out for n walk.
On ray return I found niy uncle, white
as a sheet, pacing the library floor.
He paused on seeing me, and lifting
his hand toward heaven, cried out:
t 44 Stand where you arc, Bessy, and I
listen to inc. From this time forth Ken
neth is nothing to me, nothing to you.
To both of us lie is dead."
44 I nolo 1" I gasped.
44 Not a word, said ho—"not a word. 1
I have turned him out of ray house. I
had reason. I aui justified. To-morrow
I shall alter my will. Kenneth shall
never have one penny of mine. I ll make j
you my heiress—you—you 1 Do \ou'
hear me? You stin kby me. You are !
all I 1 avc now 1"
And my uncle flung himself upon a
sofa and buried his face in the pillows.
In vain 1 pleaded, in vain I wept.
Nothing touched him.
I hoped time would change his resolu
tion, but he never faltered.
What had become of Kenneth I did
not know. He never wrote, to me. lie
never sent any message. lie had been
vexed with me during the last few days.
And as time wont on I made up my mind
that he no longer loved me. lie could
easily have communicated with mutual
friends had he de.-ired to do so.
I had loved him dearly. This sudden
separation made me very miserable.
I was vexed with tny uncle, but I could
not leave him. lie" had been a bale,
hearty, middle aged man when the quar
re I took place.
From that time he broke down rapidly,
changing before my eyes to an old man.
His spirits left him. His temper grew
outrageous. lie refused to see "his
friends, and at last he took to his bed. 1
nursed him tenderly.
One day, as I sat beside him, he said,
more gently than usual:
"Bessy, you will be a rich woman very
soon. All I have is left to you. I have
heard of my sou. The unfilial and un
natural boy ha 3 not prospered. He is.in j
need, I believe. lam sorry."
I sunk on my knees and implored him
to send for Kenneth, to forgive him, t<
embrace him once more.
4, Hc is your natural heir," I said. 44 1
hope you may live many years. But pray
alter your will. Give him your blessing,
and forgiveness, and his portion. \ou
will be glad when you have done it
glad whether you live or dio."
lie shook his head.
"Neither will I give him," he said.
"And I have made my last testament so
I carefully that you cannot help him, as
no doubt you would. Anything you at- .
tempt to bestow on him you will only
lose j-ourself. He shall live to regret his
disobedience and ingratitude to a good j
father." j
Then he fell into a rage that was, I
believe, his death warrant, for he died
that night. I was alone with him. I
had scut for the doctor, but he had not
come.
When all was over I kissed him, and
said aloud:
" Jf your spirit is aware of what I do,
it will thank mc for it. I cannot take
my cousin Kenneth's fortune."
Then I opened the desk where private
papers were kept, found the will,
glanced over it and saw that it indeed
gave everything to me, with the proviso |
that I should, under no circumstances, |
I aid my cousin, aud folding it again ;
I thrust it deej) into the heart of the grate- j
fire, aud watched the flames consume i
it.
44 You will be glad, dear unde," I
said, "when soul has triumphed over the j
body, and you know how anger warped
your mind."
At that instant feet flew up the stairs,
and the doctor, followed by the servant
I had scut for him, entered the room.
After the funeral I packed my small
belongings, put into my purse the money
which my uncle's generosity and my
natural economy had made my own, and
left the house.
I had seen my cousin in the great
drawing-rooin in which we assembled,
lie was thin and wan, aud did not look
toward me. In common with everybody j
else, lie still believed himself disiuher
ited, and I resolved that he should al- i
ways believe that his father had icleuted j
and destroyed the will.
I had made all my plans for leaving j
the town, and soon found a situation as
teacher of u country school many miles
away.
Through a friend I heard that Kenneth
had come into the property, and that
everyone felt that my uncle had done
well in forgiviug his son, and the popular
j opinion was that he would have left me
something had not death come to him so
suddenly.
| I was not happy in my new position.
I did not fill the place well. I had no
proclivity for teaching, and I had been
too long used to being netted and cared
for to take kindly to tne hard life of a
country school-teacher, but never once j
did 1 regret what I had done.
Shame would have been mine if I had
i taken Kenneth's fortune—grief if he had
! been in need, and I unable to help him;
for though he had forgotten me so easily
I still loved him fondly, and always
should, I knew. Even though I should
one day hear that he had chosen another
for his wife, I could still give him a
i sister's tenderness while life lasted.
The winter passed, spring came. The
I grass that grew about the rustic seliool
liousc was decked with golden daude
( lions, when one day, just as my last
i scholar passed out at the door, a shadow
fell across the floor, and looking up I
I saw my cousin Kenneth.
44 Cousin Bessy," lie said, advancing
and holding out his hand, 44 1 have had i
a long search for you. Why did you |
hide yourself away? I am sure my j
father did not mean to forget you. I
know he would be anxious to sec that'
you had a share of what he left. You
j were a daughter to him. I have come
to talk to you of that," he said politely,
but coldly; no trace of the lover re
, niained in his manner.
; The man I had promised to marry,
whose betrothal ring I yet wore, spoke
to me of money and money only in this
our first hour of meeting.
My pride arose, I drew myself to my
full height—not a great one to he sure.
44 Cousin Kenneth," I said, 44 thank you j
very much. I know my uncle intended
to remember me, but since fate inter
fered, the matter is settled."
44 It is my duty to protest," lie said.
44 1 am merely acting as my father's sub
stitute. Buying his debts, remember,
not mine, and his fortune was very large."
His manner was as cold as ice as he :
stood there measuring his words, and j
looking away from the woman who '
loved him so, who longed to cast herself j
into his arras and cry:
44 Oh, thank Heaven, we meet once \
more!"
My heart ached, my brain throbbed. !
44 1 will not accept charity," I cfied in i
my grief and wratli, 44 1 will accept it
from no one, least of all from you. I
can earn my bread."
And I rejoiced that, though he did not
dream it and never shall, he owed all
that ,4 large fortune" of which lie spoke
to me.
Now suddenly his face changed.
44 Bessy," he said, 44 how strange that
I once thought you had a tender heart!
I was disabused of that when you sent
me back ray letters and told me through
the pen of another that you despised
me too much to wish to hear from me
again."
I stared at him astonished.
44 1 never received a letter 1" I cried.
44 1 wondered that you did not care to
write, but "
1 paused; on the same instant we both
understood that in some wny my uncle
had intercepted the messenger who
brought my letter and had written one
which furthered bis own plans and made
Kenneth believe me false to him.
"Don't speak 1" 1 cried. "Don't ask
me anything. Don't tell me anything.
Only believe inc. 1 never had a word
from you. though I longed for one. Be
. lieve me by our old friendship."
4, Ar.d I thought you false and cruel all
this while," he sighed.
lie held out his arms and I crept into
them, ami as wo kissed each other we
j forgave the wrathful old man for all the
| sorrow be had given us—forgave him
; utterly and forever.
As for the burned will, that is my
1 secret, mine alone. I keep that even
I from my husband, and when he says:
• "After all, he forgave me at last, poor
I "Id father," 1 rejoice that I have done
j so.—[New York Weekly.

John Heffner's Big Family.
The death near Allentown, Pcnn., i
few days ago of Reuben llcffner recalled
the fact that he was one of forty-om
children. His father, John Heffner, wa
accidentally killed by the cars six yean
ago at the age of sixty-nine years. At
that time he was still in the vigor o:
health. He was a dwarfed hunchback
He was born in Berlin in 1810, and cami
to this country in 1848, settling in tin
| city of Heading. Until his death hi
1 made a living by collecting and selling
rags and paper. His family history ii
part of the records of the Berks Counti
| courts, it having beeu told by him i
short time before his death while he wai
a witness in a lawsuit.
He was married first in 1840. In cigh
years his wife bore him seventeen chil
dren. The first and second years of theii
marriage she gave birth to twins. Fo:
four successive years afterward she gave
birth to triplets. Iu the seventh yeai
she gave birth to one child and died
soon afterward. Heffner engaged <
young woman to look after his largt
brood of babies, and three months latei
she became the secoud Mrs. Heffner.
She presented her husband with two
children in the first two years of her wed
ded life. Five years later she had added
teu more to the family, having twins
five times. Then for three years sh<
added but oue a year.
At the time of the death of the second
wife twelve of the thirty-two children
had died. The twenty that were left
did not appear to be any obstacle to o
young widow with ouo child consenting
to become tho third wife of the jolly
little man, for he was known as one of
the happiest and most geniul men ic
Heading, although it kept him toiling
like a slave to keep a score of mouths in
bread. The third Mrs. Hellner, became
the mother of nine children in ten years,
and the contentment and happiness of
the couple were proverbial. One day in
! the Fall of 1885 the father of the forty
; one children was crossing a railroad
j track and was run down by a locomotive
I and install.ly killed. His widow and
I twenty-four of the forty-one children
are still living, most of them in Reading.
They arc thrifty and respectable people.

Some Modern Names.
The following are derivations and
! meanings of names of some prominent
I men of the present day as given by j
! Notes and Queries:
j Pattison—This is an Irish name and
; means the son of Patrick. The name
Patterson is the same. Patrick is de
rived from the Latin Patricius, meaning
| noble, a senator. The name was be
stowed upon the eldest sons of the Roman
j senators.
Delnmatcr —This is a French name
| from Le Maitre, meaning the preceptor,
a master, or landlord.
Cameron is Gaelic, from Cam, crook
: ed, and sron, nose, hence crooked nose.
! Blaine—This name is from the town
jof Blain, in France. It also has a claim
I to Welsh origin, and in that case it sig
nifies the summit or top.
Tilman —The farmer or alliance gov
crnor of South Carolina, is well named,
I as his name means tiller of the soil,
j Parnell—The Irish leader has not an
Irish name. It comes from Italy and is
j derived from Petronilla, a pretty stone,
i and also an immodest girl.
McCarthy—This name is pure Irish
and means the son of Canthack, who was
! an Irish chieftain of the eleventh cen
tury.
Dillon is Welsh, from Dillyn, meaning
handsome, brave.
Vanderbilt is Dutch, from Byl, a
hatchet or bill. The ship carpenters in
Amsterdam were nicknamed Die Byltyc,
the hatchet or bill men. Van, the Dutch
for the word of. Hence Van die hilt,
or of the bill men.
Astor is Scandinavian, from the town
of Oster, in Jutland, meaning star.
Intelligent Leaf cutting Ants.
The leaf cutting ants of Texas and
further South are great pests, usually
destroying the most valuable trees. We
have received many complaints and speci
mens of these ants from Texas in years
past, but what seems most strange is that
those who have the opportunity of ex
perimenting and discovering means for
destroying them rarely cr ever attempt
it. These ants arc certainly very intelli
gent, and when about attacking a tree
they divide their forces, one division of
workers ascending the tree and cutting
away the leaves, while another division
of their forces remain on the ground and
gather up the leaves as they fall, drag
ging them away to their nests. To drive
them away try dusting the foliage of the
trees with air-slacked lime, with London
purple, Paris green, or some other kind
of poison. Look for their nests, and
when found pour hot salt brine into
them, or kerosene emulsion, creosote
and water, or common tar water, for al
most any offensive or poisonous liquid
would either disperse or kill these pests.
It is also quite probable that a piece of
cloth wrapped about the stem of the tree
and kept constantly smeared with soft
tar or wax would prevent the ants from
getting at the leaves.—[New Y'ork Sun.
G'rl Slavery in Tibet.
The people were in a state of excite
ment over the marriage of the belle of '
the place and the high price her prospec
tive husband had had to pay for her;
fifty tack to purchase a 44 number two
wife" was highly creditable to the town
which had given birth to such a treasure.
The Ssu-ch'uancse arc much given to
selling girls, and large numbeis are ex
ported yearly from Ch'ung-ch'ing or
Han kou or Shanghai and other eastern
cities. The price usually paid for one of
six or seven venrs is from seven to ten
tads. They" arc kindly reared by the
stock farmer who buys them, receive
a 44 liberal education with all modern ac
complishments," and when they have
attained the age of sixteen arc easily dis
posed of at high prices. The trade has
nothing cruel about it, and many of
I these girls are respected members of so
icty ii after life, and certainly enjoy
many rnoro material comforts than if
they had been left in their poor villages.
I have lived in homes of highly respect
able Chinese where the wife had four or
, five little girls purchased with her sav
i ingx, and they were treated with as
much kindness and love as her own chil
i dren.—[Century.
AMONG THE BOERS.
STRANGE SCENES WITNESSED
IN SOUTH AFRICA.
People Who Seldom Wash, and
Who Look Upon People That Do
as Being Filthy—Their Houses
and Customs.
Vasca da Gama,thc Portuguese mariner,
might be said to have discovered South
Africa as much as Columbus discovered
America, writes a correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution from South Africa.
No landing was made and no colony es
tablished by the Portuguese in that
place, but the Dutch, who were at that
time the foremost navigators and colo
nizers of the world, soon established a
settlement here.
The first ship which sailed for that
purpose was wrecked, and only one or
two persons escaped the vengeance of
the sea. After great hardships and suf
fering they landed and called the place
"Good Hope." Others followed from
the old country, and the Dutch East
India Company established a trading
station.
The Boers (farmers) finding the coun
try rich and the soil productive, emigrat
ed from Holland in large numbers aud
founded a colouy under the home gov
ernment.
This colony was soon augmented by
numbers of the Ilugcnots, who assimil
ated with the Boers. The latter ruled
with a rod of iron, and the former found 1
it all the easier to submit to the inevit
able, and a few settlers from other nations I
had also to bend their necks to the
yoke. Hence the power to rule supreme
remained with the Boers until the Eng
lish conquered and drove them from
Cape Colony to Natal and Orange Free
State, a country at that time the nomcof
lions, tigers, (leopards are called tigers
in south Africa,) buffaloes, and all kinds
of wild game. These, however, soon
disappeared before the vortrekkers' (first
settlers) rifles, or escaped into the in
terior. This brings us down to about
1830, when the Boers got embroiled
with the Kaffirs, especially the Zulus, the
most powerful and warlike tribe in south
Africa. Their efforts to subdue the
Zulus were baffled, and the English
profiting by their helplessness, seized
what is now Natal colony, and again
drove the Boers back, this time across
the Vaal river, where they formed the
now famous south Africa republic, with
I'retorius as president, naming the coun
try, Transvaal.
The Boers were most inhuman in their
treatment of the Kaffirs. As a rule the
Boers are a lazy, idle, drunken set. They
do not work except oversee the Kaffirs,
count their cattle once a day, go hunting
and kcur (visiting) with their pipes as
constant companions, and the C'ape
smoke (whiskey) bottle always at hand.
They generally hire the Kaffirs by the
half year, the copper-colored servant's
pay being a heifer or two sheep for six
months' service. In two cases out of
three the Kaffir thus working was made
to have a wholesome fear of his master
by being every now and then tied to a
wagon wheel or a tree and flogged un
mercifully, and it was not an uncommon
occurrence for these poor victims to die
under the chastisement. As late as 1880,
since the letrocession by the English of
the Transvaal to the Boers, a certain half
breed Erasmus, an influential Boer,
fastened a poor Hottentot to a wagon
wheel, brutally Hogged him, then de
liberately shot him. No punishment fol
lowed th's outrage, although it hap
pened within six miles of Pretoria, the
capital of the Transvaal. Conduct of this
kind, together with appropriating lands
belonging to the natives, brought them
into collision with the Kaffir tribes, the
Zulus 011 one side and tlic Sicoocoonis
on the other. Pretorius, being an igno
rant man, was altogether incompetent to
carry them successfully through these
difficulties. He was soon deposed, and
Burghers, a well educated and enlight
ened man, chosen in his place. In
thought and action this mau was about a
quarter of u century ahead of the times,
aud worked hard to oivilizc the Boers,
who had by this time sunk almost to the
level of the natives themselves, but was
unsuccessful, as he was not supported in
the least by the Boers, although tlicv
promised anything asked for. The
British government then stepped in and
took charge of the country, restoring
peace after a terrible war with the Zulus
and Sicoocoonis. The Boers finding
everything nicely settled for them, re
belled against the English rule and then
followed the Boer war in which the
English were defeated.
Boer etiquette demands that when a
stranger arrives at a house lie must shake
hands with the inmates all around with
out speaking, beginning with the eldest
down to the youngest. This is found
not to be a very pleasant task, as the
hands to be shaken are never very clean.
One of the favorite bonmots of the
Boers is that the English (meaning all
foreigners) must be a very dirty people
as they find it necessary to wash so fie
ouently, when they (the Boers) do not
do so oftcner than a week at most. They
generally seize the opportunity of the
presence of n stranger, who is a guest, to
indulge in a slight ablution, which is
done as follows: Before dinner the
household assemble and scat themselves
iu a semi-circle form. One of tlic girls
brings a basin of water and a towel,
(soap is an unheard of article) which she
presents to the head of the family first,
lie performs his ablution on hands and
face, the basin is then passed to the next,
and so on around a circle, containing,
perhaps, a dozen, without changing wa
ter or towel, the stranger's turn coining
last. Hcfusnl on his part to paiticipate
would be considered a great insult to his
hottest.
The Boci houses are built of either
stone or mud. The rooms, as A rule, are
large aud airy. In many eases the Boers
sleep on the mattings spread on the floor,
only the fathers and mothers having the
luxury of a bed. In cases where beds
are used, they are on the Brigham
Young plan—large—and five or six peo
ple sleep in one of thorn. The sleeping
places arc none too clean, and have more
than a suspicion of disagreeable insects.
There are no schools amongst the Boers.
A wealthy man with a family often per
manently engages a schoolmaster or
tutor, who lives as one of the family and
is but barely paid for his services, re
ceiving little more than board and lodg
i ing. In the poorer families the children
are taught what they do know by their
i parents. The sum of this teaching
amounts to little more than being able
i to read'the Bible, a book found in every
Boer house. The Boers are very devout;
attend well to their religious duties and
never omit to say grace before and after
each meal, and copiously interlard their
conversation with pious ejaculations.
As a rule they arc very hospitable to
strangers, providing they are not Eng
lish, for whom tlu v have a great nnti
, pathy. They will often turn a sick and
hungry traveler empty from their door if
they know him to be of that nationality.

the fact that I think It Is a most excellent Liniment.
I have used itou a Blood Spavin. The horse went on
three legs for three years when 1 commenced to
use your Kendall's Btmvln Cure. I used ten bot
tles on the horse anil have worked him fortbreo
yearn bluce aud has not been lame.
Yours truly, WM. A. CURL.

Gents: In praise of Kendall's Spavin Cure I will
say. that ayeur ago I had a valuable young horse be
come vory lame lioek enlarged and swollen. Tho
norserncn about here (we have no Veterinary Sur
geoni here) pronounced his lameness Blood Spavin
or Thoroughfiln, they all told mo there was no
cure lor it, he became about uselosH.nnd I con
sidered him almost worthless. A friend told me of
tho merits of yov.r Kendall's Spavin Cure, so I
l>oughta bottle, and I could 800 very plainly great
improvements Immediately from ttsuse.nnd before
the bottle was used up I wus satisfied that it was
doing him a grout deal of good. 1 bought a second
bottle and beforo it was used up my horse was
cured and has been in the team doing heavy work
nil the season since last April, showing no more
signs of it. I consider your Kendall's Spavin Curo
n valuable medicine, and It should be in overy
stable In tho laud. Respectfully yours,
EUGENE DEWITT.
