By CHABLES B. LEWIS <M. QUAD'. [Copyright, IWH, by Charles B. Lewis.] For 30 years the residents of a certain western Ohio town had called Jacob Todd queer, eccentric, foolish and crazy. Had the word crank l>een coined before his death lie would have had the full bentfit of it. Despite his oddities of character he was, however, a shrewd speculator, and at his death, which occurred In 1H«7, ]>enple who had rated him Tts only comfortably well off were amazed to find that he had accumulated a fortune of 1500.000. His wife died in 1864, and he left three daughters when his turn came. The oldest was 40, the next 35 and the youngest 30. They were named, in the order of their age, Mary, Sarah and Jane. None of them had ever married or even had a beau. The reason for this was be-

SARAH FOUND FAULT WITH HIM.
cause they were threeof the homeliest anti j most ungainly girls in the state of Ohio. As a rule children improve on the faPres eial looks of their parents. In this case 's’* lt W!t8 reverse. The parents were Treas plain faced, but the daughters were downright homely. Mary was cross eyed and had a month like the entrance of a cave; Sarah had a deformed nose ami was a stutterer; Jane's face resembled that of a parrot, and her voice was a squeak. Their bodies seemed to have been flung together without regard to symmetry, and jieople used to say tha* nature intended them for the circus side-
show.
I knew Mr. Todd in a business way, but had never seen the daughters when he died. The first I knew of his death was when his will was opened, and I was notified of its contents. A Cincinnatian named Waldo, Mr. Todd and myself had 1 been liar triers in several government eontracts, and it was for this reason that he named the two of us as his executors. That was one of the most curious wills ever admitted to probate. Aside from three farms the will left only bonds and cash, the whole footing up $530,000. Everything was left to the three daughters, hut with a proviso. The executors were given two years in which to find three men willing to wed them. They must be single men of respectable character, and the three marriages must take
place at the same hour.
Before marriage each man must bind himself to live with Ids bride on one of the farms for a year. During that year he must split ‘.‘,000 fencerails, each to be

forNo
doubt the will could have been broken had the girls determined to contest its provisions, but they were entirely satisfied. The pay named for the efforts of the executors was very liberal, and after consulting with the daughters we ac-
cepted the appointment.
The situation when summed np amounted to this: Here were three of Sec j the homeliest women in America, none of whom could barely read or write, to be married off to good men. To make certain that the husbands would live with them for at least a year no money was to be paid over for that period, and then there was the work to be done on the farm. Yon may think it an easy matter to get a husband for a young woman worth nearly $300,0(10, even if she had the face of a kangaroo and the body of a camel, hut we were bound to exclude speculators and adventurers. The questions which a candidate had to satisfactorily answer were: “Have you ever been arrested for any cause?” “Do you believe in the Holy Bible?" "Will you attend church at least 20 tunes per year?” “Have you ever taken human life?” “Can you prove that you have always paid your debts and conducted yourself in an upright manner?” It wasn’t sufficient that we found men to
Reporter j stand this test, but their personnel must
please the young women. Each of them demanded a good looking husband and warned us that she would take no other. We took hold of the matter in earnest, hut not very hopefully. Mr. Waldo set out in one direction, ami I took another, and our labors began. Each of us carried copies of the will and photographs
of the girls.
Mr. Waldo brought in six men and I brought seven before we struck the lucky chap. It fell to my lot to find him at Ceutralia, Ills. Up to this time I had been searching for good looking men but it suddenly occurred to me to make a change. Of the 13 candidates Miss Mary had rejected five of the best looking, and the other seven had fled for tlfcir lives when she offered to accept them. At the railroad depot I ran across a baggage man who had been hurt in a train accident a year before. He was naturally a plain fatted man. hut had had his nose broken and an eye destroyed in the accident and was now a pretty good match for Mary. When I explained matters to him and showed him her photograph, he exclaimed: “Say, mister, it won't take me two minutes to fall in love with that little girl! I'll lie hanged if she isn’t just the sweetest, neatest, cutest piece of calico I’ve get eyes on for the last 10 years! i’ll he ready to start with you in an honj!"
1 have every reason to believe the man was jierfectly honest and sincere in all he said. He was no sooner brought face to face with Mary than the two fell head over heels in love, and the affair was pnt down as a go. It took us about seven months to make this match. It was Sarah's turn next, and we found her even more capricious than Mary. She was a short, stumpy girl and was determined to have a husband not less than 6 feet tall. This caprice narrowed our field and lessened the chances. Mr. Waldo went up to Michigan, and I went down to Kentucky. It was six weeks before 1 found a candidate who might suit. At Bardstown 1 discovered a young man named Bird, who took a long look at Sarah's photograph and “reckoned he might put up with it on a pinch.” He didn’t have to, however. He ! was 6 feet tall, but Sarah didn’t like his looks and quickly told him so. While I | was down in Tennessee in search of an- ! ither, Mr. Waldo brought on one from Michigan. He was over 6 feet tall, hut Sarah found fault with the way his nose was set on a*.d gave him the bounce. In the course of five months we brought eight different l>ean jade young men before her for inspection, but she found fault with each and every one. One day we were at Akron together, and we ran across a tall young man who I stuttered dreadfully. After we ascer | tained his height and found hecouldothj erwise fill the bill we decided to tak* I him along. When we showed him Snj rah s photograph, he said it looked “j-j- | last like his d-d-dear m-m-mother.” of whom he was very foil' tnd when wi told him that she a 1m ' un impedi- ! ment of speech he uiiswi .. ,1 that ho was ! "p-p-pleased t-t-to h-h-heur it.” When we took him over to the house, a very funny scene occurred. After Sarah had looked him over she asked: “Do you th-th-thiuk you c-c-could 1-1-love m-m-me?” “I—I g-g-gness 8-s-so,” he replied. J “I—I w-w-want to be 1-1-loved, you— you kn-kn-know.” "S-s-so do—do—do I—I, you kn-kn-
know.”
“I—1 s-s-see that you—you st-st-stut-
tut-ter?”
“And I see th-th-that you d-d-do too.” The result was that Sarah agreed to accept him, and then we had Jane to deal with. We had taken a year's time to get two of the men, and if Jane turned 1 out to he too particular we might not be able to suit her before the two years expired. She felt that she had rights, however, and she insisted on a redheaded husband. Some one had told her that lleorge Washington was a redheaded man, and as the Father of His Conntrj was her ideal she wanted a redhead or none. He was not only to have red hair, but red whiskers as well. When 1 tell you that the proportion of redheaded men is only one in every 3*1) in this country, and that only one redheaded man in every eleven wears whiskers, you can easily figure the odds against us. A professor of physiology in a Cincinnati institute had told me that there were more redheaded men to the acre in New Hampshire than in any other state in the Union, and while I went up there Mr. Waldo headed for Delaware. Wc each sent down two, who were promptly refused. In two cases the hair was not red enough, and in the other two they 1 couldn’t grow whiskers. Mr. Waldo returned to New Hampshire with me, and while stopping at Plymouth we got track of a young man who eventually bore away the prize. Plymouth is in Grafton county, and a very large county it is, and yet in the year 1809 there were only three redhead-
Irashurg, and we reached Irasnnrg to find that he had got a district school eight miles out in the country. It was the hour of noon when we rati our redheaded victim to earth. We saw him at the schoolhouae door while we were yet afar off, and at the right of his flowing whiskers Mr. Waldo almost shed tears of joy. Before we reached him our minds were made up that he must go with ns or yield up his life. We were very kindly received, and he listened to our explanations with interest. When we had finished and shown him Jaue’n picture, I thought he was out mutton, but he was cot. In the first place, he did not want to leave his school, and in the next he was engaged to a girl near his home, as his mother had feared. We got over the first objection hy agreeing to furnish another teacher, and Mr. Waldo agreed to see the girl himself and induce her to quitclaim on his affections. School was dismissed for the afternoon, and we labored with the young man till almost night before we brought him around to our way of thinking. When Mr. Waldo went to see the girl, he found that he had struck it rich. A sewing machine agent had come into the neighborhood three weeks before and taken such a fancy to her that she was ready to give up her redhead and his lieautiful whiskers. Then we made a bee line for Ohio, and to our great joy Jane accepted the man. and he announcj ed his own perfect satisfaction. We were not through with our labors, however. The three marriages must come off at once, and Mary's man had dropped out of sight and failed to answer her letters. I went to Centralia to hunt him up and found that he had fallen in ’ love with the cook at a hotel and intended to leave us in the lurch. I spent two days arguing, coaxing and protesting, I but he was firm. It was not until I i threatened him with a breach of promise j suit and also proved that the cook wore a wig and had false teeth and a lop shoulder that he came to his senses. Then Sarah had a quarrel with her stutterer, and he tried to skip out and had to lie brought back at the muzzle of a revolver, and on two occasions our redheaded man sought to rise up and throw | off the yoke. Nevertheless and however, on the eleventh day before the two years expired the triple wedding came off in good shai>e, the husbands faithfully complied with all the stipulations, and the only reason I have not given you their names is because all are still living and enjoying a large amount of this world's happiness.

AT THE MUZZLE OF A REVOLVER, ed single men in the county. One of these was an old bachelor over 50 years of age, a second hardly more than a hoy, and the third couldn't grow a single hair on his face, though he had tried till his hack ached. The landlord of the hotel at which we stopped finally put ns on track of a party. A year previous, while visiting his sister at Dalton, in the same state, he had rescued a redheaded young man from death by drowning in the Connecticut river. He believed he lived on a farm a few miles out of town, hut was not sure. He was certain, however, of the red hail and whiskers, larause he had clutched the young man by the hair to save him and had afterward wi])ed the wet from those whiskers with his handkerchief and stood aside that the breeze might blow through them. We at once starte.1 for Dalton, aud two hours after reaching tin place learned that our young man was a farmer's son and lived 15 miles away. We got a team to convey us to the farm, but it was only to meet with disap[>ointment. The young man, who was an only son. had gone ,up to the town of Norton, on the northern border of Vermont, to se< about getting a school to teach His par ents gave his age as 36 and assured tuthat he could answer all questions satisfactorily; also that he had the reddest kind of red hair, and whiskers which were the envy of thousands. She feared. however, that he was engaged to a girl in the neighborhood, and for that reason would be unable to accept Jane's heart and fortune. We were getting desperate aud must take the chances, aud as soon as we returned to Dalton we took the train for Norton. On arriving there we found our redheaded man had failed to Lit the school and gone to Salem. We reached .Salem to find that he had departed fur
