CHAPTER XI. Contlnned. Not wishing to bt idlt, ml learning of the contemplated l'cifniition 'of the telegraph operator nt the station, Charles made application for the pUu-c. Th tHMnpanj- niHin lxinsr satisfied of hfe efficiency, wan rlnd to noeopt the services of so popular and intelligent young man as Louis Patterson for by that name he must now be known had proven himself to lx?. As the duties only occupied a portion of his time he was eniibloil. without I neflfleotinsr anvtl)inu't,,at wns oxpectrd of him, toVire the two farms his general attention. Mary Nordrum had no cause to find fault with the fervency and ardor of the love which Ixmis Patterson embraced every anportunity to convince her he possessed for her. He was, in fact, the most devoted wooers. Sho faUed to see that his rough experience alid strange adventures amng the ix?ople of that hidden continent had lessened his admiration for her, or had benumbed his feelings toward her or had made him less the ardent lover. It nirht be. she thought at times that ho was not so enraptured with hop personal charms as before that strango sea voyage, or at least he Was not so loud and earnest in few expressions of love as on the night When he bade her what proved to be a long, long adieu. Still she experienced the perfection of bliss in listening to the oft-repeated story of his suffering on the wreck at sea, and tho dangers he encountered in his travels among the people of that strango land. He knew just how much color to give his adventures to interest and fascinate bis fair listener and she never tired of being an enthusiastic listener. Often she would beg him to tell the story over again that sho might pity him while at least he was telling ii. Thus he wove around his victim a net with strands of steel, and if she ever breaks through them and becomes free heaven and angels must help her do it. Young Patterson labored to ittake himself popular with tho neighbors, far and near. He made them froquont visits, happening in on them at meal timeB, or, belated, staying with them over mghfc He loved to talk politics with them, and always conformed his opinion in accordance with his com panion. He loved to talk with the people about his travels and adventures, aud was constantly introducing subjects mat wouiu anorct mm an opportunity to snow tnem now laminar lie was with their habits and little incidents In their lives, which had been forgotten, save as he revived the recollection of them. He delighted iu these rem iniscences and in retreshiujr tlio memories of the' neighbors, so that had there been in all that rogion one who suspected he was not Louis Patterson, whole communities would have risen up to prove his identity. sso wonaer poor .Mary jNOrcirum was completely blinded. It waa an unequal contest from the beginning. The praise of her lover was upon every lip. That kind Of praise which so often, makes, maiden's lovo against their will make them lovo when they should hate. There were times, though, when a mysterious something would be tuggingat her heart strings, as if to warn her. of danger. But she was too de voted to her lover to heei tho warning. Often she would fancy there were voices whispering something about lovers that were false, and lovers made mad by love, but she never thought the voices were for her to hoed. "Louis," she said one evening, when passing the churchyard, and noticing she shadow of the frail steeple lengthening out clear to the graves of the lovea ones, "i seo tne grass is growing on that little path to your mother's grave. It certainly cannot be that the memory of your sainted mother is being forgotten, and that you have any less tears to shed over her grave now than when showasflrst laid there." Mary did not utter this mild rebuke because she doubt od Louis' reverence for his mother's memory, and vet so sudden was the question asked and so unexpected that it startled him into a fright, and in spite of his great will power, he turned pale and great beads of sweat trickled down his face. Mary noticed his excited condition and contributed it to His feelings, which she had unintentionally wounded by tho cruel mcinuation. LWoro he could regain his composure siiiliciently to reply, Mary in a tender and sympathetic manner, apologized for her thoughtlessness, and when her rreat black eyes met his, she implored his forgiveness. CHAPTKR XIV THE WILT. IN COURT. Court in a country town di iters in many respects from court in a largo City. Inree terms a year give uist onoucii novelty to court proceedings to make the people look forward with much interest to the day when court will convene. But now unusual excitement prevails over a case of more than ordinary importance. Tho day is fixed for the case to be heard. At an early hour the multitude gathers at the countyseat from all portions of t he county. It does not take long to fill the Court House to overflowing with an eager, anxious, earnest crowd of men and women, most of whom are farmers, their wives and grown-up sons and daughters. They mingle together in groups and discuss the merits of the case to be tried. It is evident that tho sympathy is one sided and that tho rows of spectators are of one mind, perhaps because it is natural to take sides with the cause of the weak, tho helpless and the presumably innocent. w nat is Known far ana near aa the great will case of Silas Groundwig vs. the Estate of Androw Nordrum is set for hearing. Distinguished lawyers from the city have been employod on both sides. The Judge takes his place on the bench, the clerk slips into the chair in front of the Judge's desk, tho persons summoned as jurors are called, and the long and tedious labor of securing a jury who knowed little or nothing about the case is completed. the jurors are sworn to render a veroict true, according to tne law and the evidence given them in court, and tho ease is ready for the first witness. .By tne time this interesting noint has been reached the day is' snent. The lawyers have exhausted themselves in their efforts to preserve and promote the legal rights of their clients. Tho men presented for iurvmen have boon catechised as to t:eir knowledge of tho ee, And aa to the extent of

their bins, if any. for or aguinst either pni'ty. It litis been unite llilllcn'l it' obtain it jury e'Milpii.-iod entirely of rWr.eiis w ho imve not formed an opinion as to tho validity of the will, nor heard t he merits of ihe case discussed. The jury, as liually selected, are mostly farmers, men of intelligence, possessing an ordinary amount of good sense, and who were known to bo fuirniinded and honest. Tho populace have conlldnnce in tht jury, uml believe .that jttstict; will be done, mid tht?ir idea of justice in this Vase is a verdict in accordance with 'the drift of public sentiment. Upon the adjournment of court tho people return to their homes, coming again early in the morning, eager for the case to begin and end. Tho wise has been commoneed by Mr. Silas Groundwig, tho person named in the will ns principal legatee, to recover front Mary NoPdrum, the daughter. of the person making the will, the rents and profits coining into her possession by reason of her claiming to be the sole heir-at-law of her father's estate, thero being no will in existonce, as Miss Nordrum hud every reason to believe. The attorney for the plaintiff, Groundwig, opened the caso to tho court and ..ury in an oil-halid, careless; conversational style, as though the fuel: f the will giving his client the greater part of -Major Nordrum's fort.me was n matter of course and of very little coueoru to any one except Mr. Groundwig. and while, under the circumstances, there might be some of tho gentlomeri of the jury who would sympathize with Miss Nordrum, and devply regret that her honored and rospocted fat her had not deemed it advisable to leave all his wealth to her, yet on tho other hand these some ltirors thought that it was truly a heroic act noble and self-sacrificing and worthy a brave and gallant soldier, to remember in his will, in such a liberal manner, u comrado who had faced death to save the testator's life. Undoubtedly tho Major had his own notions about bestowing his fortune upon a young girl, even though that girl were the fruit of his own loins, and no doubt, as he had averred in his will, it was better t hat she should learn to earn her own living and thus be able the better to enjoy such pleasures and comforts as she should secure by her own efforts, Mary Nordrum had not been left penniless. Far from it. A homo with neat and rare surroundings was hers to enjoy and hers to dispose of as she might desire. Silas Groundwig hud led a checkered life. Crippled on tho battlefield, denied a pension because he was unable to procure evidence that his disability was caused while engaged in the military service, he had continued to strugglo on bravely and manfully against the vicissitudes of ill fortune, until, in a providential manner ho was directed to the homo of his old army comrade, whom ho found an invalid, and by whoso side he re inaihed, ministering to his wants, until the eyes of the noble hearted Major were closed in death. " I now offer in evidence." continued the attorney, "of Mie validity of Mr. Groundwig's claim to the late Major Nordrum's estate, tho will signed by Andrew Nordrum in the presence of two witnesses, who signed their names as such witnesses in tho testator's presence and at his request, in accordance with the requirement of tho law. "As you will see, the will has been properly probated, has the seal of the clerk of the Probate Court affixed thereto, and his certificate attached, to the ell'ect that the al'.esting witnesses. James Martin and Matilda Patterson, appeared before him. legal notice having been given of the time of proving said will, and made oath that they did so sign such will -as such witnesses." The attorney took his seat apparently quite exhausted with tho effort he llad made, He wiped the perspiration fwm l,ta 1..-,. ..nil l.w.b-..,l ,.., n,l 4n see what effect his oneninff of the case had upon the audience. Tho lawyers for Mary Nordrum consulted together for several minutes. The spectators looked dumbfounded. Though for months they had known all those things, though they knew such a will was known to exist, and that it appeared to be witnessed by Mrs. Pattereon, yot for the first time they began to realize what it all meant, and what the possible consequence might be, and how much pretty Mary Nordrum, who Icokod white as a sheet as she sat by tho b' le of her lawyers and her lover, had at stake in the legal battle now fairly under way. Tho younger and 'more scholarly appearing attorney for Miss .Nordrum, the defendant, slowly arises to his feet and addresses the court. Perfect Btillness reigns throughout the room. Mr. Lcwinsohn. iu a low but quite musical voice, without any desire to engage tho attention of any one except tne court; ana jury, remarKs mat tue caso is a most singular one. and will be found full of startling incidents. He is quite ready to admit that the plaintiff, Mr. Groundwig, has been quite lucky to be remembered so generously by Major Nordrum. but he thinks before the case shall end Mr. Groundwig will learn, and so will tho public at large, that Major Nordrum was not the ungrateful parent the making of such a will would prove him to be. While there are many strange and thrilling events connected with the alleged and mysterious making of this will, he expects to prove to the ontire satisfaction of court and j jury that thoy are part and parcel of a deep laid plot yes, a foul and fiendish conspiracy to cheat, defraud, and swindle the young, bright, and vivueious Mary Nordrum out of the fortune left by her father, and designed for his child and for her only, upon the event of his death. Major Nordrum loved his daughter as ho loved his life. Her mother, dying when Mary was a woe child, the father had become passionately dovoted to her welfare and happiness, and he had been heard to say a hundred times that the only pleasure he had in making money was that his daughter might enjoy it, und ho might feel that when tho time came ho could no longer cure for her she would in nowise be dependent on her own labor for support. m After tho war Major Nordrum came West and brought with him the savings a generous country had dealt out to him for services rendorod, and while he eutltivated the soil and gathered his harvests, ho was fortunate in his investments and successful in certain speculations, so that befortf ho reached middle age ho had accumulated a large fortune. Major Nordrum died. A motherless child was his only heir. Thero was no other relative living to claim tho smallest share of the estate. Androw Nordrum leki' no will,. "if tho court please, and gentlemen of tho jury," preceded the lawyer, "I repeat it, and am ready to repeat it again and again, Androw Nordrum LEFT NO WILL. 'He hail frequently discussed the subject with his lawyer, and, upon being informed that his daughtor would inherit, under the luw, all his possessions, the same as she would under his will, he concluded that tho latter was not necessary. Tho dowinent, if the court please, and geiitlemon of the jury, now submitted to this court, and claimed by Groundwig to he the lust will and testament of Major Nordrum, is a base and wicked forgery. The plot is a deep britl one. The conspirators litre ione their work well. With the most consummate skill, with j

ingehilttv worthy of the best; brain t! the land; with' the most wonderful ability to conceal ftn-ts mid events, the

plotei'9 have so completely drafted, per fected, and executed this document, that not until the attorneys were fur along in this investigation did I hey becomo satisfied that the document was a for gerv. "Not only is the late Major Nor dt'tiiu .lriipci l v lit Make, but lHs repu tation for integrity, truth, and honor are in the scales. For him to disown the child he loved and adored, and to bequeath to her only a small home stead and the few thing's belonging to it. and give loan old army comrade, if army comrade lie was, because he had simply performed an act that all bravo soldiers claim the right to perforin without hope or expectation ol com pensation, the great bulk of his largo estate, was an act that would stump Motor Nordrum as a villain whoso memory deserved universal execration. "Major Nordrum was no villain. Tho evidence will prove that he was an honest man." While by no means intended, Law yer LeVinsohn's remarks produced profound sensation throughout the court room, and for a moment or two a buzz went round the audience as though every one was expressing an opinion upon its merits. "The document offered in evidentsaid the court, "as tho last will and testament of Major Nordrum. seems to have been properly proven, aud is in conformit-v with the statutes of the state iu such case made and nrovided. Before proceeding with the testimony, the court will pass upon the motion to exclude this document because it has been prepared bv a typewriting ma- ! chine, and hence is not in compliance with the law which provides that wills 'must be in writing.' The court is clearly of the opinion that to all in tents and purposes the will is in writ ing. The motion is ovorrulod." TO BE COMTINfED. J Could He Klek?-WelH The other day Johnnie's mother told him he could go out and play for an hour. As he trotted around the corner three young men, all of "whoni he knew, hailed him. Johnnie hopped over to where thev were and then saw that an old, and battered bat lay on the sidewalk. 'Johnnie, can you kick?" inquired tho first young man. "C'n I? Well, I guess." "You can't kick as far as Willie," said the second young man. Him," answered Johnnie, with great scorn, "I c'n kick far ag'in s him. I cotter bigger foot'n him and more mus'." "Willie kicked that old hat across the street," declared the third young man. "1 c'n kick it acrost the street 'n over the fence. " "Kats." chorused all three young men. Johnnie lost no more lime in words. ne went at the hat with a run and planted his foot against It with all nts strengtn. Tne nat noppcd over and a brick wliicn lay under it was moved about a foot. Johnnie fell down with the worst stubbed toe ho was barefooted of his lively and al w.iys more or less bruised young ca reer. He arose painfully and faced the young men, who were laughing immoderately. "He's going to cry like a little baby," said the first young man. "I wouldn't cry lor such trash as you big stiffs," said Johnnie, slowly. Then lie turned, and though zigzag lightning was running from his toe clear up his spine, he walked away without a limp Just before passing out of bearing he tamed again and shouted: "i'll git even with you big bluTcrs some day." And that is the reason he wants to grow to bo a man in most a month Louisville CourierJournal.

One day ho reprimanded some soldiers that had allowed themselves to be left far behind their regiment and tho cavalry of the rear guard. "What should you do," ho asked, "if, separated from the army as you are, a band of the enemy's guerrillas surrounded you?" They replied gravely, "Lieutenant we should form a hollow square."

They have moved away in consequence ef this belief and the property has really depreciated in value. So serious is this relation of superstition to business that a lawyer says he would discriminate against any place numbered 18, not that be has any faith in its omen, but that other people have and would give it a bad name. He would not advance as much, for instance, on a mortgage on No IU as ho would on No. 11 or IS, though all throe of the houses should be precisely alike. Philadelphia Call.

A Matter of Healtfij Houf oUeepers faintly realize the danger of a i indiscriminate use of the numerous baking powder-t nowadays found iiiion every hand, and which are urged upon c nsumei-s with such persistency by peddle-s and many grocers on account of the big profits made in their ralo. Most of tho.e powders are made fivm sharp and caustic acids and t !kalis which b n n and inflame the alimentary organ and cause indigo lien, heartburn, diarrha-al disea o-i, etc. Sulphuric acid, oaustie potash, bunt, alum, all are u wl a- gas-p: during agents in such baking p iwilers. Mo-t- housekeepers a t- awaio of the painful effects proline -d when these chemicals are applied to the external flesh. How much more acute must bo their action upon ihe delicate internal niembralKs! Yet unscrupulous manufacturers do not hesitate to use them, because they make a very low-eoKt powder, nor to urge the u.-e of their powders so made, by all kinds of alluring advertisements and false representations. All the lowpriced or so-called cheap baking powders, and all powders sold with a gift or prize, bo long to this class. Baking powders made from CheiHic ally pure cream of tartar und bi-ear-b. nate of soda are among the most tireful of modern culinary devices. They not only make tho preparation of finer arid more delicious cookery possible, l-ut they have added to the digosiibiity a;;d wholesomeness of our to- d. Dut baking powders must be composed of such puro and wholesome ingredients or they must bo tabooed entirely. Dr. Ldson, Commissioner of Health of New York, iu an article in the "Doctor of Hygiene," indicates that the advattt :;.-' of n good baking powder and the exemption from the dangers of bad ones in which tho harsh and. caustic c. emlcals uro used, are to be secured by the uso of Royal Baking Powder exclusively, and he recommends this to all consumers. "The Royal," he says, "contains nothing but cream of tartar and s ;da refined to a chemical purity, which when combined under the influence of heat and moisture produce pure carbonic, or leavening, gas. The two materials used, cream of tartar and soda, are perfectly harmless oven when eaten, but in tiiis preparation they are combined in exact compensating weights, s i that when chemical action begins bet ween them in the dough they practically disappear, the substance of both having been taken to form carbonic acid g.-.s." Hence it is, ho says, that the I loyal Baking Powder is the most pet-feet of all conceivable agents for leavening purposes. It seems almost incredible that any manufa-.-tu -er ordealor should urge the sale of baking iiowders containing injuri .u-t chemicals in place of those of a well-known, pme. and wholesome charne'er. simply for the sake of a few coi'ti a pound greater profit; but since they d . a few words of warning seem to be necessary.

A Niilmtltuto for Leather. Leather possesses such excellent qualities for the many purposes to which it is put. that it would seem idle to seek u substitute. Nevertheless, there are many persons who, while they find that leather serves as an effectual protective covering for the foot, and also that it is often obstinate in adapting itself to tho requirements of individual 'eet or to tho more or less physical abnormalities to which so many are subject. In such cases, if comfort is to be expected, only the most stiplo and yielding quality s'hould be worn. At the same time, of course, it should bo waterproof and durable. These qualities, so far as we have been able to judge, belong in a satifactory degree to an interesting and new material called "fiexus libra." It aplears to bo a flax-derived material, . suitably prepared and oiled, so that to all appearances it is leather. It is particularly supple und flexible andtakes r. polish" ;tually well with tho best kind of calf. A Paper to Prevent Forged Documents It is very desirable that dishonest persons bo prevented from duplicating certificates of stock, bonds, drafts, and such valuable documents: and many devices have been employed for this purpose. A new process nas just been introduced in making a paper which will at least be difficult to imitato successfully! Ink is applied to a lithographic; stone, and another similar stone is placed on its face and rubbed together until tho ink is so distributed that a variegated design is produced. When the ink is dry, the design is transferred to paper after the usual manner in lithographic printing. Of course, any color may bo selected for the ink. It is manifest also, that the design thus cheaply produced can be varied indefinitely until a pleasing or effective one is obtained. A counterfeit is detected at once when compared with a sample of the genuine paper. Ilurtl Tirnen la Australian Society "Bread and butter dances" are the latest form of amusement inaugurated by the Sydney ladies. The name does nut signify that the functions are exclusively for ''bread and butter misseB," but that the refreshments are as simple as possible, in order that the charity in aid of which the datico is given may benefit us largely us possible. Tho price asked for the tickets is exceedingly moderate, and such inexpensive informal gatherings are likely to be very popular just now, when, owing to tne recent commercial failures, Australian hostesses are not in a position to entertain on the same elaborate style us in better times.

Savage Indllfereneo 10 Pal. Generally speaking, the more civilized and retinod races are more Sensitive to pain than barbarous and uncivil ized races. This was proved by Dr Felkih in a series of carefully planned experiments which ho made upon Arabs, negroas, and Kuropeans. The stoical fortitute of the Arabs ho considered due to peculiar mental characteristics, of which mental repression, self-control afld t.oggod endurance were the leading features. Tho indifference to pain in negroes, ho thought wns due to diminished general sensibility, and ho was led to believe that tho relative SeBsibf ity of Europeans. Arabs, and negroes was in the propor tion-of one, two, and throe. A Sow Zealander has been known to chop oil his groat toes so that ho might get on a pair of boots which had been given to him. On one occasion a native, Australian came to a tettlement to get a wooden leg, his own leg being burnt away at t he knoe. It had been wounded so severely that amputation was necessary, and, as his tribe had, no appliances to stop tho flow of blood, his leg had been simply burnt off. Brooklyn Eagle. lliiimarck Biases Pretty Girls. Bismarck has won tho hearts of all tho German women by his exhibition of that fondness for kissing fresh young faces for which Geri. Sherinan! was so famous. Lillie Finzelborg, a young German sculptress, went with her sister tC call upon Bismarck in Kisscngcn. His habit is to let devoted women kiss his hand. When leaving these young women tried to kiss his hand, but the prince said: ''Hold on; we willdothat much simpler." He t hen laid hold of the two girls and gave each several lord, hearty kisses. The result is that both young women have become fatuous throughout the empire. Bismarck's habit of letting women kiss his hand has given rise to a strange custom. In certain circles women make collections of celebrated men. Some of those are valuable and most interesting more so than all t he stamp and coin collections in the world. Real Bismarck kisses, however, are exceedingly raro, and the Finzelborg girls are the envy of all kiss collections. A Dirty Poet. Paul Verlaino, the ponular but poor poet, whose snirit inspires La Plume in Paris, is thus described: "In his face an expression of anxiety 'older than the flood,' but for the rest a bearing and personality so instinct with ease and glorification that one thinks at once of some Greek philosopher Socratus, whom indeed he resembles in the massive brow and the little turned-up nose. Whito linen and dainty clothes he knows nothing of. His dress is all awry, with torn button holes minus the buttons, and from beneath the gray hoard peeps a gray wool shirt by no means clean. Knew What He Was Doing. The family tutor was invited to dinner and surveyed with intense satisfaction the half-dozen wine-glasses ranged in front of his plate. Tho footman came round with tho wine. The young man presented the smallest of the glasses. "It is vin ordinaire," .lbserved tho waiter. "Ah! precisely," replied our ascetic philosopher; "I am reserving the larger glasses for the finer sorts."
